Chapter 627 – Dominic Brutally Attacked
*****Janet hurriedly reversed out of the room and gently closed the door behind her. But before she did, she turned and saw the crowd that had gathered in the hallway… waiters, customers, even chefs sneaking peeks, all pressing to catch a glimpse of the drama unfolding in the private dining room.“Please, everyone, return to your tables,” she announced in her best manager voice, trying to reclaim control of the scene.Then, without waiting for any response, she shut the door firmly behind her.“Argh!”“Couldn’t you have let us see the ending?”“How could you cut the drama short?!”“I’m so annoyed!”“Hmph!”A wave of indignant complaints and protests erupted in the hallway.The bystanders, who had been deeply invested in what they had assumed was a scandalous soap opera... “a husband catching his cheating wife in the act”...groaned in frustration. They had wanted to see sparks fly, tempers explode, and maybe even punches thrown.
Chapter 626 – Xavier’s Humor
*****Xavier had left a long-lasting impression on Janet… a calm, lazy, and unshakable man who hadn’t even so much as flinched even while he had been falsely accused and cast as the villain, when in truth, he was merely a victim of wealth, power, and influence.The reason why she hadn’t recognized him so quickly was the drastic transformation around him.The simple yet tidy outfit, the fresh haircut, and... oh, the perfume. It was a scent she had never encountered before: pleasant, sophisticated, and unmistakably expensive. He looked so polished and refined, it was almost as if he were a completely different person.Her mouth slowly opened as realization dawned. Her heart trembled a little.‘Clothes… really do make a man,’ she thought eventually, a half-shocked, half-admiring smile blooming in her heart.She bowed respectfully to him, her expression now one of gratitude and acknowledgment.“Thank you, sir,” she said with sincerity. “I will escort h
Chapter 625 – Janet’s Realization
*****For a long, weighty moment that felt like forever, neither Grace nor Xavier could utter a word.The intruder's furious voice hung thick in the air like smoke, choking the peace out of the private dining room.Both of them simply stared, their expressions frozen in stunned silence, as if their bodies had forgotten how to respond.The tension crackled.Then suddenly…“I… I am so sorry, Mistress Grace! I tried stopping him, I truly did… but he wouldn’t listen!” came the voice of a woman, filled with panic, apology, and dread.The tense silence shattered like brittle glass.Both Grace and Xavier jerked their attention toward the new speaker, as if only now realizing that someone else had entered the room."A few feet behind the furious intruder stood a woman dressed in a knee-length skirt and a tucked-in shirt. Her head was bowed in a deep, formal apology. Her posture was tense with anxiety, and her voice quivered faintly."Xavier’
Chapter 624 – The Aggressive Man
*****“Did you just… speak to me like that?”The room outside fell into a thick, waiting silence. The kind of silence that always came right before a storm.The man’s voice dropped to a slow, deliberate cadence.“Have you forgotten who I am?” he asked, his voice now dangerously level. “Do you want me to shut down this entire restaurant?”Xavier was stunned slightly. ‘What arrogance,’ he thought.But Grace?Her eyes gleamed. She sat straighter, visibly fighting the urge to bolt to the door like a reporter chasing a scandal.It was clear now… her curiosity had consumed her.She wasn’t pretending.She wasn’t acting.She was just being her true self, genuinely dying to know how this would unfold.Xavier nearly chuckled at this. 'And she says I’m dramatic,' he thought, utterly delighted.“Sir,” the female voice responded again, this time with more weight… frustrated but admirably composed. “I know you have the power to do a
Chapter 623 – The Adorable Grace II
*****And yet… with Xavier?She had slipped over and over again.It was like he had cast a spell on her, prying open the layers she had so carefully stitched together, revealing parts of her soul she had long buried beneath layers of calculated indifference.'Has he truly used some kind of black magic on me?' she wondered, panicked.And as if things weren’t bad enough, she looked up… only to find Xavier grinning like a man who had just discovered a hidden treasure chest.That grin. That smug, self-satisfied grin.It screamed, 'Hehehe… I’ve cracked open the legendary Ice Queen.'Worse, there was a knowing glint in his eyes... 'one that practically said, I’ve seen the real you now… and I like what I see.'Grace’s face burned hotter.But she refused to give him the satisfaction.“What are you talking about?” she snapped coldly, her tone suddenly frosty. In the blink of an eye, the flush on her face vanished. The Ice Queen had retur
Chapter 622 – An Adorable Grace
*****“Is this the room where my woman came with another man?!”The voice erupted without warning, low, aggressive, and saturated with murderous intent. The violent energy in it directly tore through the peaceful atmosphere of the private dining room like a blade, ripping apart the love-drenched calm that had wrapped itself around Xavier and Grace just moments ago.Both froze mid-motion as soon as they heard it.Xavier’s hand paused with a fork halfway to his mouth, while Grace, who had just picked up her wine glass, blinked, utterly startled.Their heads whipped toward the door at the same time, their eyes wide.“Did I hear that right?” Grace asked, her voice hushed but laced with an unmistakable spark of intrigue. A gossipy gleam flickered in her eyes, replacing her usual regal composure with the curiosity of someone watching a live soap opera unfold.Xavier turned to her, his brows raised in surprise, but Grace’s gaze was still glued to the door
