*****

Still inside the grand, opulent herb store marred by shattered walls, splintered beams, and broken fragments of luxury, an eerie silence loomed like a thick fog.

No one moved.

No one spoke.

No one even blinked.

It was as if time itself had come to a screeching halt.

All eyes remained fixated on Xavier, their gazes blank and stupefied, unable to digest the sheer gravity of everything he had just recounted.

He had already finished relaying the entire truth as it had happened a moment ago, his voice calm, unwavering, and brutally honest. Yet, not a soul had stirred since then.

Not Master Tush.

Not Madam Tush.

Not the trembling attendant.

Not even Lyria or the mighty Sage Myron.

They all just stood there, frozen in an eternal moment of reckoning. It wasn’t until what felt like an entire epoch had passed that their heads began to turn.

And not haphazardly.

No… every head shifted with perfect synchronicity, as if commanded by a single unseen puppeteer.

  • Chapter 904 – Trouble at Sky Group

    *****Without any forewarning, the atmosphere inside Villa Number One suddenly plummeted, the air growing so cold it could have been mistaken for the dead of winter in the blink of an eye.Then, following this, a suffocating stillness settled over the grand mansion… thick, heavy, and humming with an undercurrent of rage so palpable it felt alive.Even the polished marble floors seemed to tense under it.In the living room, Laura couldn’t help but suddenly shudder violently, hugging her arms across her chest.“Did you just turn down the AC again?” she asked, her voice half-whisper and half-accusation.David frowned, rubbing his forearms as a chill also snaked through his spine. “I didn’t touch anything,” he muttered, rising to check.But before he could take a step, the temperature snapped back to normal… as abruptly as it had dropped.And realizing this, the Husband and wife couldn’t help but exchange bewildered looks, each of them silently wondering if the other had imagined

  • Chapter 903 – An Incensed Xavier

    *****Inside her office, Dorothy was currently pacing about like a caged lioness, her heels clicking furiously against the marble floor, each step sounding more murderous than the last.‘This shameless man!’‘Arrogant!’‘Infuriating!’ She mentally screamed, resisting the urge to hurl her tablet against the wall.Her fists tightened at her sides as she forced herself to take a deep breath.Losing her temper now wouldn’t help… Grace was her priority at this moment, and the man on the other end? He was a necessary evil.“Where is my boss?” she asked at last, her voice low and measured, though the irritation still trembled beneath.Hearing her, Xavier grinned faintly, leaning against the wall like he had all the time in the world. ‘Oh, so she’s pretending to be calm now? Hehehe.’‘You think you can outmaneuver me?’ he thought silently, shaking his head. ‘You have no idea who you’re dealing with.’Adopting a more serious tone, he finally said aloud, “She’s with me.”Unfortunatel

  • Chapter 902 – A Cocky Xavier

    *****“Should I pick it?” Xavier muttered to himself, frowning slightly as he stared at the cell phone in his hand. “Or should I put the phone on silent and just let her keep calling till her fingers cramp?”His gaze flicked toward Grace again… she remained perfectly still, lost in her much-needed slumber.The rise and fall of her chest was both steady and serene… proof that exhaustion had completely won over her stubborn willpower.On one hand, he didn’t want anything to disturb her. But on the other hand, Dorothy wasn’t exactly the type to give up easily.If she had called once, she would call again, and again… and maybe even show up at the gate demanding answers if she had to, after all, she knows his house. They had come here together the very first time.Xavier rubbed the back of his neck, sighing. “Knowing that woman, she’s probably panicking already because her almighty boss hasn’t shown up for work.”Then his eyes widened slightly as realization dawned on him. “Wait a m

  • Chapter 901 – Xavier’s Tenderness II

    *****As though Grace were the most delicate porcelain ever crafted by the goddesses of art and beauty, Xavier carried her into his room with the kind of care usually reserved for sacred relics.Every movement was deliberate and cautious, appearing like that of a man terrified that even the slightest hint of a motion might shatter the goddess’s sleep.Once in his room, he lowered her gently onto the bed, the mattress sinking slightly beneath her weight, and for a moment, he just stood there, staring down at her as if afraid to breathe too loudly.She looked impossibly peaceful, her face soft and ethereal beneath the dim light of the room.Even her faint frown couldn’t steal from her beauty… if anything, it only made her look more heartbreakingly human.To him, she wasn’t just beautiful... she was everything: the heart of his world, the ruler of his turmoil, and the only one who could make his unshakable composure crumble with a single tear. He tucked the blanket around her car

  • Chapter 900 – Xavier’s Tenderness

    *****Xavier had always known that Grace was a top belle… the kind of woman who could make heads turn even in a crowded ballroom, but he had never really seen her like this before… never this close and never this still.Now, under the soft spill of the morning sunlight filtering through the car window, it felt as if he were looking at her for the very first time.His chest tightened, his heartbeat drumming fast and uneven as his gaze lingered on her face.Grace was his wife… his woman, yet even he couldn’t help the absurd wave of envy that washed over him.‘How the hell did I get this lucky?’ he thought, his lips twitching in quiet disbelief.He had faced ruthless men, stared down death itself, and outsmarted devils in human form, but Grace… Grace was the one thing that made him feel weak.Still, the reason his words died in his throat was far simpler.Grace had completely fallen asleep in his arms, her breathing soft and uneven, her lashes trembling now and then as if she wer

  • Chapter 899 – I Shall Claim All The Debts Once and For All

    *****Xavier couldn’t help but tighten his fists until his knuckles turned bone-white, the thick veins along his forearms standing out like cords ready to snap.His jaw clenched so hard that his teeth nearly ground to dust, each breath dragging roughly through his chest.The image of that decrepit old man… the fraud and the snake masquerading as a grandfather, Grace’s grandfather flashed in his mind like a curse he couldn’t exorcise.Before he even realized it, a dark storm had already brewed behind his calm exterior... a heavy, cutting, suffocating anger seething just beneath the surface. And just like that, the air around him had grown heavier, colder, and charged with a silent promise of vengeance.Soon, even the space inside the car felt smaller, the atmosphere bending to his mood.Grace didn’t see any of this... she was too lost in her heartbreak, her sobs still spilling softly against his chest.Her pain filled the air, fragile and broken, while his rage thickened like
