Chapter 614 – The Embarrassed Ice Goddess of the Business World II
*****Grace had fully expected Xavier to bring up the incident the second they walked out of the building. But he hadn’t. He had remained oddly silent. Then she thought he might comment in the car. But again… nothing.Just when she had begun to relax… thinking Xavier had decided to let it go, which, truthfully, left her feeling a little disappointed but mostly relieved… he chose that moment to strike.Grace slowly lowered her glass, her face now a furious shade of crimson. Her heart thumped like a marching band in her chest, looking as though it wanted to jump out of her and escape the embarrassing situation.“You… you… What are you talking about?” she asked, her voice an octave too high.She cleared her throat awkwardly and tried again, this time adopting a defensive tone.“I only called you my husband because it was the best way to calm the mob. That’s all. Nothing more.”She didn’t dare look up.Xavier blinked at her, trying… and failing not to laugh. He did his best to mai
Chapter 613 – The Embarrassed Ice Goddess of the Business World
*****Starry Sky Restaurant.The name alone stirred memories... faint, sharp, and oddly sweet.This was the very place where Xavier and Grace had met officially for the first time, weeks ago. The place where strangers had sat across from each other under bright lights and an expensive roof, pretending to be business acquaintances. Where they had finalized their abrupt wedding agreement over a table set with fine linen and even finer indifference.But back then, everything between them had been business. Mechanical. Cold.Grace had spoken like she was hosting a board meeting… stoic, polished, completely uninterested. Her eyes had been icy mirrors of disinterest, her tone clipped, her posture stiff.Xavier, on his part, had tried to match her detachment, but he couldn’t help being vaguely intrigued by her commanding presence… if not a little irritated by her unflinching apathy.She hadn’t smiled once that evening. Not even a twitch of her lips. She had treated him the way one wou
Chapter 612 – The Queen of Ice and Iron II
*****If flattery were a currency, the room would be drowning in it right now.And seeing this sudden reversal of loyalty, the balding man trembled violently, unable to believe his ears and eyes.They had all been condescending to Grace and the Sky Group before now. They had all felt that no matter how much growth she and her company received, they would always be below them.They had all refused to accept the reality together, yet…The balding man’s fists clenched at his sides, his knuckles ghost-white, and his entire frame shaking with raw fury and disbelief, until finally…“You… all of you… How could you?!” he hissed, looking around at the very allies who had stood by him moments earlier.“Have you forgotten we were united in this?! If she can humiliate me today, what makes you think she won’t do the same to any of you tomorrow?!”His voice cracked with desperation, trying to convince everyone to pressure Grace together with him. But the faces around him had already hardene
Chapter 611 – The Queen of Ice and Iron
*****The balding man was stunned for a moment. But then finally, his lips began to twitch, his face betraying the shock that had frozen him for a moment too long.A sharp jolt ran through his frame as reality crashed over him like a rogue wave.“You… you dare?” he roared, his voice rising like an animal cornered.Veins bulged at his temples, his complexion darkening as fury twisted his face into something nearly unrecognizable. Rage oozed from every pore, his mouth contorting grotesquely as he barked out his next words.“You want to throw me out? Do you have any idea who I am? Do you think you can humiliate me like this and walk away unscathed? Have you lost your mind… or forgotten my status?”His shriek ricocheted through the marble lobby, echoing like the tantrum of a dethroned tyrant. He looked deranged, unhinged… like a man who had just watched his power crumble to dust.And Grace?Grace didn’t even flinch.She didn’t so much as bat an eyelid. Instead, she stood rooted,
Chapter 610 – You Don’t Call My Husband That!
*****At this moment, Xavier stood there… broad-shouldered, sharply dressed, and unbothered.A cocky, self-satisfied smirk now curled on his lips and he looked as if he had just secured a private victory in a game only he and the heavens were aware of.That smile… it wasn’t forced. It wasn’t even staged.No.It was confident, dominant, and arrogant even.And in that moment, it confirmed everything.‘This…’ dozens of hearts clenched at once.'He really is her husband?'Gasps moved like ripples through the crowd. Some men looked as if they’d been punched in the chest, while others… especially those who had once pursued Grace, stood shell-shocked, as if some priceless artifact had been stolen right before their eyes.“You… then you mean to tell us that this… this brat is truly your husband?” the balding middle-aged man asked, his voice tight with disbelief and rising fury.His eyes, once laced with disdain, now flared with resentment. It wasn’t just shock now… it was jealousy,
Chapter 609 – The Shock Caused by Grace’s Revelation II
*****“Hahahaha!”Lucas, one of the youngest, wealthiest entrepreneurs, the most handsome in the crowd… and one of Grace’s many failed suitors, burst into a raucous laugh, shattering the heavy silence.His shoulders shook as he pointed at Grace like a man watching a circus act.“As expected of President Grace, able to divert every situation!” he sneered through his laughter. “You really expect us to believe that? That this… this nobody is your husband? What a convenient excuse to cover up blatant favoritism!”His mockery was loud and theatrical, his laughter echoing through the lobby like a villain in a bad stage play.At first, the crowd blinked in confusion, unsure if they should laugh or stay stunned. But then slowly, realization began to dawn on them, and just like that, murmurs spread, and disbelief curdled into indignation.“This seemed to be right,” someone muttered under their breath. “She has never dated anyone before, let alone marry, so where does this husband come f
