Chapter 1629 – Matthew’s Proposal
*****The moment those words were spoken, several expressions among the crowd changed.A look of realization appeared on many faces.Especially among those who had survived the earlier assault by using similar protective artifacts.“Why didn't I think of that?”“That explains it.”“So that's what happened!”Murmurs continued spreading through the crowd, but Matthew paid them no attention.His gaze remained fixed on Xavier, his expression carrying the lazy confidence of a predator watching an ant foolish enough to believe it could somehow frighten him by kicking up dust.To Matthew, Xavier was already beneath consideration.He had seen enough.The man had dared to question him, yet even after Matthew's guards demonstrated the overwhelming gap between them, Xavier still stood there without showing the slightest sign of fear.Matthew couldn't understand whether the man was genuinely fearless or simply too stupid to recognize the danger surrounding him.Ultimately, Matthew shook his head.
Chapter 1628 – The Unfortunate Collateral Damage
*****The entire vicinity fell deathly silent the instant Xavier’s question rang out.For a moment, it was as though the entire auction entrance had been frozen in place.Conversations stopped halfway through. Laughter vanished. Even those eagerly watching the confrontation suddenly held their breath.Everyone, whether natives of Beetose City or visitors from other cities, stared at Xavier as though he had just committed an act so outrageous that they couldn't believe they had actually heard him correctly.Did this man truly just ask Young Master Matthew if he was deaf?Everyone knew Matthew’s reputation in the city.He wasn't someone who went around deliberately searching for trouble. In fact, compared with many other arrogant young masters, he was relatively restrained.But whenever trouble came looking for him, Matthew was never the type to back away from it.He welcomed confrontation with the confidence of someone who knew that there would always be someone powerful standing behin
Chapter 1627 – “Are You Deaf?”
*****For a moment, it looked as though Mistress Ayra was about to teach the arrogant guard exactly how badly he had chosen the wrong people to offend.But Xavier knew the situation wasn't entirely the guard's fault.They had indeed brought regular invitations to an entrance meant for VIPs.Before Ayra could explode, Xavier reached out and pulled her back.“It's okay,” he said casually.Those two words were enough.Mistress Ayra clenched her fists beneath her sleeves, her body trembling slightly with rage, but she forced herself to calm down.If she had been the only one humiliated, she might not have cared much. She had endured far worse things in her life and had never been the sort of woman to lose sleep over someone's foolish opinion.But Xavier was standing beside her.That changed everything.She had gradually developed feelings for him, feelings she rarely admitted even to herself, and she respected him more than anyone she had ever served.Watching someone treat him with such
Chapter 1626 – Misunderstanding
*****‘Who are these people?’That question seemed to flash across countless faces.People looked at the Escalade, then at Xavier, Ayra, and Sage, then back at the Escalade.There was no enormous convoy behind them. No private jets lined up nearby. No fighter jets roaring overhead. No absurd procession of servants. No elephants.Nothing.Just one ordinary-looking luxury vehicle and four people who had arrived without making enough noise to announce their presence to the entire coastline.The judgment was immediate.Some gazes became curious.Others turned condescending.A few people even looked at them with undisguised disdain, deciding within seconds that these three had either come to the wrong place or were too insignificant to deserve attention.Xavier noticed every one of those gazes but couldn't be bothered to react.Mistress Ayra noticed them too.Her eyes narrowed slightly, and for a moment, the playful woman who had been teasing Xavier disappeared, replaced by an elegant, emo
Chapter 1625 – The Ridiculous Auction Venue
*****Outside the hotel, the convoy from earlier had already regathered, its vehicles lined up and ready to depart once again.The sight alone was enough to make Xavier's eyelid twitch.He stared at the imposing line of vehicles for several seconds before finally asking helplessly, “Haven’t we already been high-profile enough for one day?”Mistress Ayra beamed as though he had just asked her whether the sun was bright.“No, Sir Patriarch. We aren’t even being high-profile at all.”Xavier slowly turned his head toward her. ‘She’s even more shameless and thick-skinned than me.’He rolled his eyes inwardly. “A car is enough.”His tone was calm, but there was absolutely no room for argument.Mistress Ayra’s expression immediately fell, and for a brief moment, she looked like someone whose favorite toy had just been taken away.Still, she respected Xavier’s decision.With a resigned sigh, she casually gestured toward the guards and drivers waiting nearby. They immediately understood the me
Chapter 1624 – Mistress Ayra and Sage Myron’s Bitterness
*****The auction wasn’t scheduled to begin until later that evening, so after Xavier dropped his luggage in his presidential suite, he still had plenty of time to freshen up, eat something, and, most importantly, spend time with his wife.What was supposed to be a short video call quickly stretched past one hour, then two, yet neither Xavier nor Grace seemed remotely interested in ending it first.They talked about everything and nothing, simply enjoying each other’s presence despite the distance between them.Even when their conversation slowed and comfortable silence took over, neither seemed willing to press the button that would separate them.Unfortunately, time waited for no married couple, no matter how unwilling they were to part. Eventually, they had to do what they had to do.With nothing else demanding his attention for the moment, Xavier decided to take a quick tour of the presidential suite.His eyes wandered over the luxurious furnishings, spacious living area, expensiv
