Grace hadn’t meant to say the words she just did aloud, no. It had just slipped… an involuntary confession, as if her heart had spoken before her brain could silence it.The way Xavier tilted his head slightly, his confusion giving him an almost adorable quality, made her heart squeeze.And she hated it.She shook her head hard, trying to bury that sudden impulse to pinch his cheeks.“Before you left the day before yesterday,” she said cautiously, her voice more composed now.Xavier blinked again, murmuring under his breath, “Before I left the day before yesterday?”Then realization dawned in his eyes.“Oh… You mean when you suddenly froze me out for no reason and suddenly treated me like a stranger, emotionlessly and expressionlessly rejecting my offer to help?” he asked with a slow nod of understanding.Grace’s mouth opened to respond, but before she could speak…“Wasn’t that you getting mad at me for no reason?” Xavier inqui

Chapter 728 – Julius’s Anticipation
*****Meanwhile, someone else in the grand hall was currently experiencing a storm of his own.It was… Julius Cromwell, the arrogant young master and the same spoiled brat who had sneered at Xavier in the bank just the day before.Right now, he sat motionless in his seat in the third section.Normally, his presence was impossible to ignore… boisterous, flashy, and always clamoring for attention like a rooster convinced it was a lion.But tonight, he had been strangely restrained, silent even while the rest had been busy getting shocked, clamoring about the second rank families, and swooning over Grace’s otherworldly charm.He had remained calm, silent, and watchful throughout. And the reason behind this? It was none other than the event of the previous day, which had utterly dismantled him.That single encounter with Xavier in the bank had changed his entire worldview.Back then, Julius had strutted inside like a peacock, flashing his name and authority, while waving his influ
Chapter 727 – Lucius’s Ruthless Plan
*****The instant Lucius’s gaze settled on Xavier, recognition hit. It took him a heartbeat longer than the rest… the change was that drastic, but he understood.He knew this man.And instantly, his blood boiled.Hatred surged like wildfire through his veins, burning away reason. His hands trembled, not from fear, but from the sheer effort of not lunging across the hall right there and then.Lucius’s loathing for Xavier wasn’t ordinary rivalry, it was venomous and primal. Why wouldn’t it be?This man… the one currently standing as Grace’s husband had ruined things for him again and again.Lucius had orchestrated everything so perfectly just two days ago that he should have completely won and dominated Grace and the Sky family.He had pulled strings, manipulated Sky Group’s partners, and boxed Grace and her Sky Group into a corner so tight they had no escape.His plan had been flawless: crush Grace’s spirit, make her crawl to him for salvation, and then, chain her… not as wife
Chapter 726 – The Commotion Caused By Grace’s Words
*****At this moment, a suffocating silence devoured the entire hall.It wasn’t the simple hush of an audience waiting for a performance. No… this was heavier, more oppressive, and utterly crushing, the kind of silence that pressed against ribcages and strangled lungs, making hearts beat so violently that each thump felt like betrayal against its owner.The quiet was so absolute that people could swear they could hear the hiss of their blood rushing through their veins, and the sound of an insect crawling several meters away.But everyone was currently too frozen to notice, because right now, the only words that existed and continued echoing through their minds were Grace’s unflinching declaration:“He is my husband.”The words didn’t just hang there; they struck like an explosion, etching themselves into everyone present, and burning the truth into every mind and every spirit like a raw, merciless brand.“He is my husband.”“He is my husband.”The words continued looping end
Chapter 725 – This Is My Husband, Xavier
*****Sarah quickly shook off the strange thought in her mind, almost scoffing at herself.'Impossible! He can’t be familiar,’ she thought, trying to convince herself.‘A man so handsome like this, appearing like someone taken out of a painting… draped in wealth and exuding such a level of untouchable charm? If I had ever met him before, I would burn him into my memory and etch him onto my mind like ink, remembering him for life, even in my dreams,' She smiled, mocking herself.Then, with this, Sarah pushed the doubt aside and went back to indulging herself in the intoxicating sight of him. Until…“Wait… why does he resemble that bastard?” The words slipped out under her breath, her eyes narrowing. The resemblance itched at her like a mosquito bite she couldn’t scratch.Once again, Sarah shook her head, this time with more force. “I must be high,” she muttered to herself, half-laughing at the absurdity. “There’s no way that broke, low-life ex-con could even be in the same spec
Chapter 724 – Why Does He Look Familiar
*****For a moment that stretched unnervingly long, the world inside the hall ceased to exist. Time itself seemed to hover, holding its breath.It didn’t matter who you were… whether you were seated in the prestigious first section, the respectable second, or the eager third. Whether you were the host or hanger-on. Every face carried the same stunned, transfixed expression.Some guests even forgot the basics of biology… breathing became optional. The stillness hung until finally…A voice, calm, emotionless, and unhurried, cut through it.“We apologize for arriving late.”The sound was so rich, smooth, and devastatingly melodic… like the goddess of music herself had decided to dabble in casual conversation.The effect was instantaneous. The spell shattered.In the next second, it was as if someone had plugged the entire hall into a high-voltage current. Guests blinked violently, their shoulders jolting as they tore themselves free from the beautiful paralysis.Then following t
Chapter 723 – The Immortal-looking Couple
*****At this moment, inside the cavernous hall… a hall so extravagantly adorned it looked like someone had emptied an entire royal treasury into its décor, silence reigned.It wasn’t the comfortable kind of silence, but the kind so sharp it seemed to cut through the air, leaving nothing but the faint hum of the chandeliers and the ACs.The place currently contains more than two hundred and fifty guests. But right now, every single one of them… young and old, men and women, dignified or decidedly not, had frozen mid-motion, gawking in the exact same direction.The double doors at the far end stood open, framed in gold and glass, and in that entranceway… every mouth had dropped open, every pair of eyes had gone round, as if they had just witnessed the literal descent of an angel.Correction: two angels.Although technically, these ones hadn’t descended from any heavenly clouds… they had simply walked through the entrance, but the spotlight had practically bent the laws of physics
