*****

An overwhelming silence enveloped the boutique at this moment, thick enough to strangle breath.

No one could utter a word after hearing Xavier’s old declaration.

Not the customers from Dior who had eagerly waited to see the destitute Xavier and his parents humiliated.

Not the staff of the Dior boutique who had ridiculed the family nonstop with brazen disdain.

Not even Miss Lin, Dior’s supervisor, whose proud demeanor was suddenly frozen in time.

Not the intrigued bystanders, whose whispers had faded into oblivion.

Not even Miss Aria Wynn, the poised overseer of High Fashion, known for her unshakable composure, found her voice.

And certainly not Amelia—who, despite never looking down on Xavier, had never once believed he could possibly command such astronomical wealth.

Yet among them all, the ones most deeply rattled were none other than…Xavier’s parents.

Barely a week ago, they had been scraping coins together, often skipping meals to survive the day.

Yet now, their s

  • Chapter 661 – Back at The Pub

    *****By the time the couple finally walked out of the restaurant, it was already nearing four in the afternoon.Xavier escorted Grace to the car lot, making sure she got into her car safely, started the engine, and pulled out of the space without issue.Only after she waved him off… with a promise that he would pick her up later at her office for the evening party, did he finally flag down a cab.His expression, once playful and light-hearted, gradually cooled the moment he entered the backseat.Gone was the warmth, replaced by something sharp and calculating.His eyes gleamed with a chill that even the driver could feel through the rearview mirror.“Where to, sir?”Xavier stated his destination in a flat tone, and off they went.…Before long, they arrived.It was a small pub; the same one Xavier had first visited upon his release from prison. The same dive where he had tried drowning his betrayal and sorrow in cheap alcohol.

  • Chapter 660 – The Envied Couple II

    *****“Even if I wanted to take snacks with me, I’ll be too busy once I return to the office. I wouldn’t have time to eat them anyway,” Grace said, a trace of bitterness creeping into her tone.Xavier regarded her for a moment, then his expression turned serious.“I know how much you care about your work. I know how invested you are in this project,” he said, his voice calm but firm. “But I want you to remember this: the only way you can keep pushing forward is by keeping yourself healthy. You can’t drive a car on an empty tank. Think of the bigger picture.”“I…” Grace opened her mouth, words teetering on her tongue.But Xavier didn’t give her the chance to argue. He turned toward the cashier, his decision already made.“We’ll be ordering some takeaway snacks. Add it to our bill,” he instructed smoothly. “Let me have the total.”The cashier, who had been watching their interaction with rapt fascination, nearly jumped at being addressed.“I… ok

  • Chapter 659 – The Envied Couple

    *****After everything had been discussed, Xavier and Grace finally exited the private dining booth.By then, the gossipers and idle spectators, who had lingered earlier in the hallways like moths to scandalous flames, had long since vanished, leaving behind an oddly empty corridor.Perhaps they had grown bored, or more likely, their fear of getting caught eavesdropping had finally overridden their curiosity.But Xavier and Grace didn’t seem to notice. Or maybe… they simply didn’t give a damn.They descended the stairs side by side, resembling a couple sculpted by the gods themselves… flawlessly matched, impossibly elegant, and far too good-looking to be casually strolling through a restaurant.They moved with an air of unintentional arrogance, as though the world beneath their feet had no choice but to make way for them.Everyone they passed by couldn’t help but do a double-take. Heads turned, necks craned, and conversations stuttered to awkward h

  • Chapter 658 – Could You Just Act Humble Once

    *****Xavier laughed so hard tears gathered in the corners of his eyes, wiping them away between snickers.Grace, meanwhile, was so embarrassed she wanted nothing more than for the earth to split open and swallow her whole. Or at least eject her from the room at light speed.But… strangely, thanks to Xavier’s ridiculous laughter, the lingering tension in the room shattered like fragile glass underfoot. Warmth slowly replaced the suffocating air, and the atmosphere grew lighter.Xavier chuckled a moment longer, while Grace silently burned in shame like a kettle forgotten on the stove.Finally…“Have you always been this… powerful?” Grace blurted out before she could stop herself, her voice carrying an odd mix of shock, curiosity, and… unexpectedly… pride.Xavier didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he basked shamelessly in her admiring gaze, feeling an absurd little swell of satisfaction in his chest.He couldn’t lie… it felt sweet.Then he nodded his head, wearing the most ar

  • Chapter 657 – Grace’s Shock II

    *****Since childhood, Grace’s only obsession had been business. Power through influence, wealth, and negotiations. Not through fists or bloodshed.But ignorance of violence didn’t mean ignorance of the world’s true structure.She understood the iron rule: the ranked were no longer ordinary. Once you broke through that invisible barrier, you stepped into a different realm altogether. You became something more. You ascended from the masses into the rarefied air of the elites.From then on, people worked for you, feared you, and respected you.And the higher you climbed through those mystical ranks, the greater your dominion. To the point where even other ranked fighters bowed their heads.Riverton’s five ruling families were the perfect example. Their power wasn’t rooted merely in old money or land or political strings.No... their ranked fighters were their foundation.At that level, the number of ranked individuals in your family determined your standing, not bribes, not char

  • Chapter 656 – Grace’s Shock

    *****Meanwhile, back at the restaurant, inside the private dining room…The atmosphere had somewhat calmed, but only on the surface. Beneath that fragile calmness, the tension still clung to the air like humidity before a storm.Grace remained frozen where she stood, her posture stiff, her heart pounding like a war drum within her chest.Although several long, dragging moments had passed since Dominic had been unceremoniously hurled out of the room like a sack of expired rice, Grace hadn’t moved. Not even a flinch.She just stood there, staring blankly ahead as though her brain had temporarily short-circuited. Inside her mind, the scene kept replaying itself over and over again in terrifying, slow-motion fragments, as if the universe was determined to ensure she fully grasped what had happened.Dominic... the terrorizer, the ruthless Kingpin, one of the nightmares that kept entire underworld districts awake at night… had been reduced to… trash.Trash that Xavier had casually d
