Chapter 617 – Grace’s Excited and Mischievous Suggestion
*****For a moment, Grace didn’t know whether to smile, cry, or laugh at Xavier’s serious statement. But then she opened her mouth to retort.However, even before she could find the perfect word to retort with, Xaver was already speaking again.“Do you know what it means to be the kind of woman only I deserve?” he asked smoothly, leaning forward again as though delivering profound gospel. “It means you’re the best of the best. Top-tier. Better than ninety-nine-point nine percent of all women out there.”Grace was flabbergasted.She sat frozen, torn between flattery and the sheer audacity of his ego. She had no idea whether to laugh, smack him with her napkin, or just let her head collapse onto the table.Eventually, she released a half-choked laugh. “Still as narcissistic as ever,” she muttered, shaking her head as if trying to dislodge his words.And just like that, the tension shattered.The heavy atmosphere dissipated, melting away like fro
Chapter 616 – Xavier’s Shamelessness
*****Grace’s face was so hot at this moment that she would swear she could fry an egg on it.Thank heavens they were in a secluded suite. If anyone else had seen this scene… the infamous Ice Queen of the business world reduced to a flustered mess, they would’ve fainted on the spot.If even Grace’s acquaintances were here to witness this exact moment, they would have wiped their eyes hard, then done it again for certainty. And still, they would shake their heads in flat denial. No… this couldn’t be the Grace Sky they knew. This couldn’t be the business world’s very own goddess of Ice.She was the embodiment of executive control: untouchable, unreadable, and cold as the steel-tipped heels that clicked through boardrooms without hesitation. She didn’t smile. She didn’t joke. She didn’t even blush.Yet here she was.And Xavier? Even he, after a long stretch of chuckling at her expense, had fallen silent.His laughter had faded into a stillness, his ex
Chapter 615 - The Embarrassed Ice Goddess of the Business World III
*****Xavier had been ready to obliterate the so-called “elites,” stirring up the tension in his wife’s company earlier.Like… who the hell did they think they were, treating his wife with such condescension?No one spoke down to Grace “Wilson,” Xavier Wilson’s wife, and walked away without consequence.And yet… Xavier had held himself back. Not because he lacked the power, but because he understood the stakes.This wasn’t just another corporate scuffle. This was a test. A silent, aggressive challenge that would determine whether Grace… and Sky Group would be seen as legitimate players or naive upstarts, pushovers.Sky Group’s meteoric rise had ruffled feathers.Just days ago, they had been a small, practically nameless company, but their ascension had disrupted the equilibrium. The old guard… the so-called titans of industry obviously wouldn’t be pleased.Nobody likes being overshadowed, least of all by someone who hadn’t played by their rules.So, naturally, they pushed. Th
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
