Chapter 704 – Xavier’s Future Plan
*****Ultimately, Xavier clicked his tongue in disbelief. “How can someone be that stingy?” he muttered, shaking his head.Then his eyes drifted back to the almost-empty bag in his hand. Slowly, with deliberate defiance, he plucked out another chip and popped it into his mouth.The crunch was like music. The flavor hit his tongue… salty and tangy.Xavier invited himself to sit in a chair and leaned, savoring the last salty crunch on his tongue like it was the climax of a five-star meal.He let out a satisfied sigh and muttered under his breath, “Now I understand why she almost tried to tear me limb from limb. This stuff is criminally good. This stuff is really worth getting punched for.”His hand dipped back into the bag out of habit… only to find it empty. He stared at the hollow foil pouch as if it had personally betrayed him.“Dang!” he exclaimed, shaking his head. “What’s in this thing? Black magic? How can a snack turn a man into a petty thief in under two minutes?”Still
Chapter 703 – A Snack-possessed Dorothy
*****At first, Xavier assumed that Dorothy would only swing at him a few times, and when she failed to land a single blow, she would collapse in exhaustion like a wind-up toy that had run out of batteries.He was completely wrong. So very, very wrong.Dorothy doesn’t slow down at all, and she doesn’t look like she would. Instead, she continued ramping up.Her flailing assault had transformed into a relentless storm, every swipe sharper, and every kick faster, as if she was drawing power from some secret stash of snack-based fury.None of her strikes even grazed the hem of Xavier’s shirt, of course, yet somehow, she looked more energized with each miss, like a video game boss whose health bar refilled every time you failed to hit her.Eventually, Xavier’s eyes widened. “You… you seriously want to end my life over a half-eaten bag of chips?”He backpedaled like his shoes were allergic to her hands.“Half-eaten? Half-eaten?” Dorothy barked mid-lunge, glaring at him as if he had
Chapter 702 – The Comical Scene in Dorothy’s Office
*****Having just witnessed such a comical scene, Xavier didn’t just laugh… he detonated.It wasn’t a polite chuckle and not a smug smirk, but a full-blown, spine-shaking eruption of laughter that made the glass walls tremble.The sound rolled through the office like an earthquake in a comedy club.He bent over, clutching his stomach, gasping between bursts. “So… pfft… so funny. You should’ve… hahaha! You should’ve seen your face just now!”It was the laugh of a man who had just watched a goat steal someone’s wedding bouquet.And seeing him like this, Dorothy’s face darkened so quickly it was like watching a storm cloud blot out the sun. Her nostrils flared; she actually snorted.“You…” she spat, finger jabbing toward him like she was about to conduct an exorcism. “Did you want to give me a heart attack?”Xavier only laughed harder, the sound turning into wheezing fits that made him wipe at his eyes. He tried to get control, but every time he glanced at her furious face, the l
Chapter 701 – Are You Trying To Give Me Hypertension?!
*****Unaware of the mini existential crisis he had triggered behind him, Xavier strolled into the building with the ease of someone who didn’t have to flash an ID.The interior, which had bustled earlier that day, had quieted to a low hum now.Only three people were still seated in the lobby... strangers, new faces that Xavier hadn’t seen earlier, probably arriving after he and Grace had stepped out.They looked like they had been waiting for quite some time, yet oddly, none of them seemed in a hurry, even with how late it was.Their eyes tracked Xavier like surveillance drones as he entered. They sized him up… dark shirt, calm stride, and casual confidence. They immediately assumed he was just another late-arriving hopeful trying to catch a last-minute business meeting.Xavier didn’t return the energy. He merely offered them the briefest glance, then turned his attention to the front desk, where the receptionist immediately sprang to her feet and bowed with trained precision.
Chapter 700 – The Nostalgic Moment In The Taxi
*****In the taxi, Xavier couldn’t help but silently remind himself that he would be buying his own car soon… and prayed God’s Time would heal quickly, so he could move freely, anytime and anywhere, without having to tiptoe around a driver’s pride, even when he was the one paying.Just then, however, a thought crossed his mind, and he smiled.If someone had told him just six years ago that he would one day become rich enough to hire a personal chauffeur and pay them half a million dollars per annum, pay their taxes, and give them a bonus, he would’ve laughed straight in their face. Not a polite chuckle... no, a full-blown, doubled-over, a d hysterical laugh of disbelief, insisting he would rather drive himself than throw away such huge money that he could spend on something more worthwhile and important.And yet, here he was. The idea still felt absurd to him.He was a guy who had once begged for rides… now, here he was, hiring a full-time chauffeur. And not just any driver… his
Chapter 699 – Leaving The Hospital
*****By the time Xavier finally escaped the hospital ward… still drowning in the couple’s endless tsunami of gratitude, weepy appreciation, and grand promises of eternal devotion, it was already 8:35 in the evening. Less than an hour remained before the time he and Grace had agreed to meet.Now outside, planted stiffly by the roadside beneath the weary flicker of a half-dead streetlamp, Xavier rubbed his temple as though trying to erase the memory from his skull.He looked like a man who had just been hit by a kindness truck and dragged for ten emotional kilometers.“I swear,” he muttered under his breath, eyes wide with lingering trauma, “who in the world even invented appreciation? What sociopath thought that was necessary?”The image of God's Time and his wife flashed in his mind again… their tears, hugs, hymns, and hands clasped in eternal gratitude as if they had appointed him the Messiah of Emergency Rooms. He visibly shuddered.He stood there for another moment, breathin
