Chapter 493 – Master Tush’s Audacity
*****[ Bonus Chapter ]….‘Who is he?’This question echoed in their minds like thunder.And yet, Master Tush stood firm. He refused to be cowed.Whoever this man was… it didn’t matter to him.Not when his precious wife had been humiliated. Not when her shop had been defiled.He clenched his fists harder, his mind made up.‘I don’t care who he is,’ he thought savagely. ‘He laid a hand on my wife. He dared to humiliate her. And he had the audacity to destroy her merchandise. That’s all I need to know.’With newfound resolve, he stepped forward.“Young mistress,” he spat forcefully, “with all due respect, I suggest you refrain from interfering in this matter.”He raised his chin defiantly.“This shop may belong to your family, but I am its manager and rightful overseer. So, I urge you to kindly show some restraint… and respect yourself.”His words struck like a slap.Hearing Master Tush’s cold and barely-concealed arrogant words, Lyria’s eyes narrowed.She stared at the
Chapter 492 – Who Is He?
*****Pak!An unexpected loud, resounding slap echoed through the emporium like a thunderclap.In the next second, Madam Tush’s head snapped to the side, her cheek instantly inflaming with a hand-shaped welt.She staggered back twice, then a thunderstruck expression appeared on her face as she gasped.Silence fell once again, dead, unbreathable, and suffocating.Everyone froze.No one could process what had just happened.Lyria, on the other hand, stood tall, her hand still raised, her expression now one of righteous fury.“Watch your tongue,” she hissed, her voice trembling not from fear, but from restrained rage.“You dare speak that way to him?” she continued, her eyes burning into Madam Tush like molten gold. “If I hear one more disrespectful word out of your mouth to the master, I promise you that I’ll personally make sure you can’t speak again.”“You dare speak that way to him?” she continued, her eyes burning into Madam Tush like molten gold. “If I hear one more disr
Chapter 491 – Lyria’s Unexpected Action
*****Lyria couldn’t believe her eyes at this moment.Her breath hitched as she stared at that calm, stoic face—the same face that had constantly appeared in her dreams all night long. A face carved into her memory like divine script etched into sacred stone.The hero.Yes... him.The man who had descended like a phantom from the heavens last night and rescued her and her grandfather from imminent doom.She blinked, once… twice… frantically, as if trying to shatter the illusion, fearing that the image before her was nothing but a cruel dream.‘Wait… am I still dreaming?’ The thought echoed through her mind like a whisper in a storm.With this, deep anxiety curled tightly around her chest.Her lashes fluttered rapidly as she blinked hard, willing herself to wake up, half-expecting the scene to dissolve into mist. But…Xavier remained.He was still standing there, real and present, currently gazing back at her with a flicker of confusion dancing in his otherwise impassive eye
Chapter 490 – An Unexpected Turn of Events
*****‘She still hasn’t forgotten!’ Master Tush and his venomous wife thought simultaneously, a sense of dread twisting in their chests like a coiling serpent.“Young mis—” Master Tush attempted to interject and speak for his wife, but a single, cutting glance from Lyria froze the words in his throat.Then her frosty gaze shifted back and locked onto Madam Tush with an intensity that could shatter bone.Madam Tush’s throat constricted, and she swallowed hard, her mind churning feverishly like a machine on overdrive.Of course, she was well aware of her husband’s deep-seated loathing for this particular woman… Lyria. But her own contempt was no less intense.Still, she wasn’t stupid.From the moment her husband revealed the frightening power behind Lyria’s family… how its patriarch, who controls the entire herb conglomerate, dotes on and spoils her, Madam Tush understood one thing clearly: Lyria was not someone she dared to be rude to, otherwise, both she and her husband might n
Chapter 489 – The Couple’s Panic and Helplessness
*****At this moment, a suffocating stillness gripped the expansive interior of the herb emporium—an oppressive silence so heavy that it felt as if even the walls were holding their breath.Not a soul stirred, and even the once-glittering lights seemed to dim beneath the crushing tension, their flickers subdued beneath the weight of the unfolding storm.The small crowd stood paralyzed in the heart of the opulent store, where a shattered wall gaped like a wound. The atmosphere had mutated into something thick, volatile, and unspoken—the kind of silence that preceded catastrophes.Madam Tush’s chest rose and fell in rapid succession.Her expression, which was usually smug and dripping with cruelty, was now currently contorted in disbelief and raw panic. Her gaze was pinned on the stunning woman who had just stepped into the chaos. Something about this elegant figure clawed at her instincts with icy fingers.She didn’t recognize the woman—she had never met her before. But the momen
Chapter 488 – The Arrival of An Unexpected Person
*****Madam Tush’s knees trembled upon hearing Xavier’s icy-cold, heartless, and dagger-piercing words. Her breath grew shallow.For the first time in her miserable life, Madam Tush felt the sting of conscience.‘Could it be true?’‘Had my years of childlessness been Heaven’s punishment? Retribution for my countless sins?’For a moment, she stood paralyzed. Her lips quivered, her mind spiraled, and her eyes lost their focus.Master Tush, observing this terrifying shift in his wife’s demeanor, panicked.“You… you little wretch!” he snarled, stepping forward and glaring daggers at Xavier. “How dare you?!”He clenched his fists furiously as though he wanted to hit Xavier unconscious. But then he turned hastily to his wife, desperation heavily etched across his face.“Darling, you’re not actually believing this scum’s delusions, are you?” he pleaded.Madam Tush slowly turned to him, her gaze hollow, distant… shattered.It pierced Master Tush like a blade.“No… no, no, no, this
Chapter 487 – Xavier’s Dagger-piercing Response
*****“Did I?”Xavier’s voice was low and eerily devoid of emotion. Yet the biting sarcasm woven into that simple phrase was so palpable that it instantly sliced through the air like a razor.A chilling silence fell upon the room, and Madam Tush’s entire body convulsed, her posture rigid with indignation.Her face twisted, and the bare sliver visible beneath her veil contorted into a grotesque mask of hatred and disbelief.“You… you…” she stammered, thrusting a quivering finger at Xavier. “How dare you?! How dare you call me barren? How… how dare you?!”Madam Tush resembled an unstable machine on the verge of collapse, shuddering uncontrollably and trembling like a ticking time bomb on the brink of detonation.Xavier, however, didn’t flinch.He didn’t even blink. Instead, his gaze remained fixed on Madam Tush, icy and unyielding. It was as if he were peering through her, seeing straight into the rancid pit that was her soul.“Tell me,” he continued, and instantly, all attenti

Chapter 486 – Madam Tush’s Fury
*****The guards froze mid-stride upon hearing Xavier… everyone did. Xavier’s tone was not that of a man facing death or defeat. It was calm, detached, and almost... curious.He looked directly at Madam Tush, meeting her sadistic gaze without a flicker of fear. His eyes were sharp and unreadable, piercing straight into her as he asked:“Have you ever given birth before?”Silence fell over the store, then everyone blinked in confusion.They had thought he was about to plead for mercy, to threaten retaliation, or even break down. But this?For a moment, no one could react, but then…“What kind of imbecilic question is that?! How is that relevant?!” Master Tush spat with fury and murderous intent.But Madam Tush lifted a hand to stop her husband, her curiosity piqued.“No. Let him speak,” she murmured, her eyes narrowing. She wanted to know where Xavier was going with this question.Master Tush hesitated, sensing that whatever Xavier was about to say wouldn’t be good.He wante
