Chapter 906 – The Oriens Patriarch’s Unexpected Feeling or Unease
*****Before now, Xavier had been ready for a full-blown argument, for Dorothy to unleash that infamous tongue of hers… but instead, she had just… agreed.If only he knew why.She hadn’t agreed out of submission, fear, or because the pressure was too much for her to handle.It was trust… grudging and reluctant trust. Because no matter how much she rolled her eyes at Xavier, she knew he always came through for Grace. And deep down, she also knew her boss would have done the same: trusted him without question.Xavier, oblivious to the flicker of respect in her silence, let out a small sigh of relief. “Good,” he said quietly, ready to end the call. But just as he moved to hang up…“Xavier.”Her voice stopped him.It wasn’t sharp this time.It wasn’t defensive or irritated.It was… soft and earnest.He blinked, caught off guard. Dorothy had never used his name to call him before, so it wasn’t just unusual… it was downright startling.And to this, his brow furrowed slightly. “Y
Chapter 905 – Xavier’s Decision
*****Dorothy’s frustration poured out in a rush. “I tried explaining that the project was granted directly to my boss, and that no matter what happens to the family, they can’t take it away… but nobody’s listening! They keep accusing us of lying. They’re saying it’s impossible for a first-rank family to entrust such a massive project to a single individual!”Her words tumbled over each other now, ragged and desperate. “Even our usual partners are panicking… clients, suppliers, everyone! They’re demanding refunds, threatening lawsuits! I can’t control them anymore!”She sounded utterly defeated, her breath hitching as though she might cry, and for a long, heavy moment, Xavier said nothing.He just stood there, his eyes dark and unreadable, listening to the storm of helplessness in her voice. His own heartbeat slowed.Then, unexpectedly, his fury began to cool... not disappear, but sharpen.His breathing steadied, his shoulders dropped slightly, and a strange calm replaced the
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
