Chapter 743 – You Dare To Humiliate The Master?!
*****Immediately seeing Xavier like this, appearing as though nothing going on in the hall had anything to do with him, Grace’s breathing unconsciously slowed down and her pulse steadied.Then just like that, her boiling rage settled into something colder and sharper, the trembling in her fingers stopping, and her expression smoothening until her face returned to being a cold, emotionless mask.Without realizing it, the usually independent Grace began to draw her calm from Xavier... from that quiet, unshakable strength he always wore so naturally.After everything they had been through, maybe it wasn’t even unconscious. He had steadied her before, in moments far worse than this, his composure and indifference grounding her when her world was falling apart.And so, as if on cue, the two of them… both Grace and Xavier, stood side by side, appearing detached and completely serene, while the storm around them raged on.To anyone walking in fresh, they wouldn’t appear like the targe
Chapter 742 – Grace’s Fury
*****Thinking this, Sarah’s eyes narrowed, a predator, vicious gleam suddenly flickering to life within themWithout hesitation, she thrust a trembling finger toward Xavier“This bastard,” she spat with hatred, pure venom dripping from every syllable, “is an ex-convict!”“I dated him once,” she continued, practically shaking with the force of her rage, “stupid enough to think he was just some harmless nobody. I didn’t know…” her lip curled into a sneer “…that he was a dangerous criminal. The kind of man who could kill without blinking!”Gasps echoed through the crowd like startled birds.But Sarah wasn’t done.“He just crawled out of prison not long ago,” she snapped, her words sharpened by spite. “And not just any prison… he was just released from the worst hellhole in the country. The kind of place you are not sent unless you’ve committed a crime so vile it makes the devil flinch.”The hall instantly erupted with whispers, everyone stupefied by Sarah’s report. She hadn’t re
Chapter 741 – Lyria’s Shock II
*****For a moment after Lucius’s words rang out, the entire hall fell into a heavy, awkward, and suffocating silence, dozens of heads turning toward him in disbelief, as though they couldn’t quite process that he had actually brought up the topic again.But then, a look of understanding slowly dawned over a few faces, and in the next second, they smiled wryly in realization.‘Ah… he’s trying to show off,’ they thought collectively. ‘Putting on a little display for her, and to show her how manly he is.’And just like that, every pair of eyes turned back to Lyria.Right now, she looked… stunned. Wait, no. Stunned didn’t even cover her present expression.She was frozen at this moment, her lips parted slightly, and her blue eyes wide open, the shock in them so potent that it could have been painted across her forehead.Seeing her like this, everyone instantly came to the same, utterly wrong conclusion. ‘She must be appalled to learn that the handsome person before her was a low-l
Chapter 740 – Lyria’s Shock
*****Once again, disgust surged in Lyria’s chest, but she hurriedly pushed it down, forcing her face into perfect neutrality. The time for aloofness was over... she couldn’t risk letting them, or worse, Xavier, catch even the faintest trace of the arrogance and coldness she had carried in with her.When she finally spoke, her voice was smooth and warm, carrying the effortless elegance of someone raised in the art of diplomacy.“Congratulations, Uncle Augustus,” she said lightly, her gaze shifting politely to Lucius, “and to you as well, Brother Lucius. Grandfather wanted to attend this banquet personally, but an urgent matter came up, so he sent me in his place to extend our congratulations on your breakthroughs.”The moment the words left her lips, a heavy, pin-drop, and suffocating silence slammed into the hall like a physical force, causing everyone to freeze in place.For a moment that felt like an eternity, the entire hall seemed to forget how to breathe. Then…All hearts
Chapter 739 – A Misunderstanding
*****Standing at the grand entrance of the hall with the stares of over two hundred and fifty gawking eyes pinned on her, as if she were some kind of celebrity, Lyria Myron felt as though the entire hall had frozen in time.At this moment, her mind was in total chaos, her heart thundering so frantically against her ribs that it almost hurt her, and her body utterly locked in place, but she failed to notice.Why?Xavier was there.Lyria felt that her eyes were deceiving her, staring at the man standing so casually near the center of the hall, with that signature maddeningly lazy smile that looked as though life itself could never be heavy enough to bother him.How could she not recognize him?Even if last night hadn’t happened, Xavier had developed a long, everlasting impression on her since that night in the alleyway, when he had appeared out of nowhere during hers and her grandfather's most dire situation, saving them.But then came last night... the chaos he had unleashed,
Chapter 738 – Is That… Master Xavier
*****The remaining calm people in the midst of this storm were none other than Xavier and Grace.Right now, the couple stood unmoving, appearing like statues, their expression not changing even a bit.Xavier still wore his familiar, maddeningly casual smile, acting as if the world and its noise couldn’t reach him. Grace, by contrast, wore the look of cold detachment, her face sculpted into aloof indifference.But her eyes betrayed her.Anyone who looked deep enough would catch the flicker of anxiousness and restlessness swimming under that frosted surface right now.She also knew the legends of the Myron family and their meteoric rise to the upper ranks without leaning on the first-rank houses.To meet them in person could mean doors opening for her and her company that she had only dreamed of. The thought alone quickened her pulse.But after everything that had happened tonight… the mockery, the insults, and the scorn, Grace no longer dared
