Chapter 193
Brandon drove Cersei back to the pub, where she got into her car and drove to Ethan's estate.She briskly walked into the mansion; there was barely anyone in sight, and she was grateful that she prioritized herself for once and left the estate to clear her mind. "It was worth it." She muttered.She got to her room and climbed into her bed—Cersei fell asleep almost immediately after her body touched the soft mattress.Unknowingly to her, the second she arrived at the house, she had eyes watching. Meanwhile, Xavier had purchased a penthouse some days ago just a few houses away from Ethan's estate; it was expensive, but he wanted to be close without being close.He successful engagement with Elia had pulled off just the way he expected.Xavier intentionally outdid himself because he wanted to impress Elia, whether or not he put in effort, he knew she was going to accept the proposal.Xavier's thoughts were soon interrupted by a knock on the door, "Sir, there's someone here to see you."
Chapter 192
After hesitating for a while, Cersei finally followed Brandon out of the pub to his car. "I came with my car." She paused, knowing well that she might not come here again."Just follow me, and when coming back, I'll stop here so you can drive home with your car," he suggested.Cersei gave it a thought and finally agreed. She got in the passenger's seat while Bran started the engines of his car, driving off."You can take off your cap, Cersei; I'm not taking you to a place filled with politics-minded people," Bran informed her, but Cersei had a stubborn mind."How does that matter? Just drive so we can get there on time!" She said.Deciding to let her be and not start a simple conversation that she could end up turning into an argument, Bran turned on the music."You try to hide it, but you know... You can't run from yourself." He hummed to the song 'You can't run from yourself by Aurora.' "You listen to Aurora?" Cersei asked, a bit surprised,"Who's Aurora?" Bran innocently asked,"A
Chapter 191
Cersei got to a 3-star pub, one that she hoped no one would recognize her in. She had worn the cap over her hair to stop people from getting curious about her because there were barely any people in the country with red hair like hers."I'd like a cocktail, please," Cersei said, dropping a few dollar notes on the table.She was served a cocktail and remained sitting at the bar counter.The noise on the pub made her doubt the fact that it was a 3 star pub, "What's all the noise about," She growled, asking rhetorically,"Men come here to gamble and talk about dirty businesses, and it sometimes results in a lot of noise." Answered a man who, seconds after recognizing her, joined her at the bar counter.Cersei hissed, absentmindedly, "That's no excuse for all this noise, and when on this planet do pubs turn to gamble sites?" She narrowed her eyes, requesting a refill on her cocktail."If the police enter a Catholic church in search of drug dealers, the majority wouldn't check the priest,
Chapter 190
Ethan briskly walked to his room, and on entering the room, he saw that Catelyn was taking off her clothes. "Where did you go?" He inquired, abruptly,Catelyn turned to him, furrowing her brows. "You just came back from work after 2 days, and that's the first thing that you can say to your wife?" She asked, wanting to play the victim, but with everything that was currently happening and with logical reasoning, he might just have a spy in his house, one that he calls a wife."Catelyn. That doesn't answer my question." He responded sternly,"Well, if you don't know how to address me as your wife, then I don't think you have a right to know about my whereabouts," she answered.Ethan scoffed at her words and ran his hands through his hair; he was undeniably tired, but Catelyn wasn't going to escape his questions. "What's so difficult in answering me?" He arched his brows."I wasn't going to come back for two days; I informed you, with my location as well. Every impromptu trip I go on, I
Chapter 189
After Alexander's conversation with Xavier's housekeeper, he left the house feeling satisfied with the outcome. He said, "Inform me when Xavier comes home, and don't mention to him that I was here," and left the penthouse.Alexander got back home; he had a few things on his mind, but none of them were able to cloud his thoughts about Xavier. "If you're not going to do anything, then I will." He recalled one of the hateful sentences he got from Gwen, but little did she know that all this was part of his little plan....47 hours 5 minutes after Ethan and the workers had started the job to deliver D&D Company with the products, Ethan and his crew had just 50 more items to get boxed."I can't believe we did this," Lilian muttered."You can't believe?" Ethan asked, knowing that Lilian was not one to doubt."Well, I mean, I'm thrilled." She laughed.Ethan understood just how she felt, but to be frank, he didn't want to get excited until after signing the contract with D&D Company.Everyo
Chapter 188
Meanwhile, at Mr. Alexander's mansion. Alexander got into a heated argument with his wife, Gwen."Since when did you dare to challenge my decision?" Alexander asked, frowning.He had been calm since the start of their conversation, but Gwen refused to bring her voice down to even reason with her husband."Since I noticed you started favoring Xavier more than the rest of your children, and now he has disappointed you," she spat.Alexander narrowed his eyes and sneered, "You're only jealous, and you've passed down this trait to your son. If I give Xavier a penny, I give your son 10 pennies, and yet you're jealous of one penny.""Is it my fault that Xavier is more resourceful than your children?" He asked, in a rage,"Tell them to learn from him and not get jealous over his temporary success," Alexander said, getting to his feet as he attempted to walk out on her."Temporary success? What are you scheming?" Gwen asked. She hated Xavier so much that she didn't want Alexander to give him a
