"What... what is this?"

In the blink of an eye, the small courtyard of the Lewis family was piled high with all sorts of gifts.

This scene left everyone in the Lewis family utterly stunned.

Even Sophie and Serena, who had just walked out of the house, were dumbfounded.

"A pair of golden and jade glass phoenixes."

"Two towers of diamond stars, symbolizing wealth and prosperity."

"A pair of thousand-year-old ginsengs for eternal blessings and longevity."

"A red Ferrari sports car, symbolizing vibrant success."

"......"

When an elderly man in a suit respectfully announced the gifts, Kyle was completely shocked.

"What... what is this?"

He had said that if Xavier's gifts were worth even a tenth of his, he would lose and have to kowtow.

These gifts, even just the Ferrari parked at the door, were worth dozens of times more than his.

"Sir, what are these things?" Lucy asked, unable to hide her excitement, as she quickly approached the elderly man.

"Naturally, they are for you,"

the elderly man politely bowed to Lucy and said, "The gifts have been delivered, so I won't stay any longer. Farewell."

He left calmly, while Lucy looked at the gifts with immense joy, "We've hit the jackpot, really hit the jackpot, oh my..."

"Ungrateful wolf, no, Xavier, did you really send these?" She quickly turned to look at Xavier.

Xavier nodded, "I came back in a hurry, so I had them prepared on short notice."

"Still on short notice... hiss..." Lucy couldn't stop taking deep breaths.

Immediately, she was filled with regret for not treating Xavier better and quickly said carefully, "Xavier, Mom didn't really look down on you, she was just frustrated at your lack of progress. I didn't expect that after five years, you would become so successful. This is really great, you should remarry tomorrow."

The sudden change left everyone completely astounded.

As for Kyle, whom she had considered a future son-in-law, he was directly ignored.

"Auntie, don't be fooled by him. The person who delivered the gifts didn't even look at him, maybe someone else sent them. Besides, I just asked a friend, this elderly man is the butler of Daniel, the richest man in Cloud City. His every word and action represents Daniel."

"Does he have the status to make Daniel send gifts to the Lewis family?"

"I fear this is all just a coincidence."

He looked at Xavier with disdain, "If you really had him send the gifts, then have him come back and explain in person, dare you?"

Upon hearing this, Lucy's expression changed unpredictably, and she gritted her teeth, "I said, how could you change so much in five years, turns out you're putting on airs. But why did Daniel suddenly send gifts to my family, could it be an engagement gift?"

"Could it be that Daniel has taken a liking to my daughter Serena?"

Thinking about this, Lucy excitedly pulled Serena over, "My dear daughter, you're truly impressive. These are all betrothal gifts from Daniel for you, Serena."

"Ah, really... is this true?"

Serena looked at the dazzling array of expensive gifts and the red Ferrari parked outside, feeling overwhelmed.

"Didn't you mention someone was pursuing you before? He must be Daniel's son. This is fantastic, hahaha." Lucy was extremely excited.

Thinking about becoming in-laws with Daniel, she didn't even care about the young man Kyle standing nearby.

Compared to Daniel, Kyle was insignificant.

"Ah, really..." Serena felt a bit dizzy and surprised, thinking that the person she mentioned last time wasn't Daniel's son.

But seeing Lucy's excitement and all these luxurious gifts, she just bit her lip and stayed silent.

"So, who lost now?" Kyle sneered at Xavier.

Xavier rubbed his nose, looking helpless, "If I told you I was the one who asked Daniel to send these, would you believe me?"

"What did you say? You asked Daniel to send them, hahaha... you?" Kyle was full of ridicule.

"That's the reality." Xavier shrugged.

"Hahaha, how audacious. I finally understand how you managed to pursue Sophie before; it was through shamelessness. But do you think you can avoid kneeling and kowtowing just because you lost the bet by being shameless?"

Kyle looked at Xavier coldly, "The kowtow may be delayed, but it will never be missed."

"That's reasonable. I'll find a time to have Daniel come and ask you to kowtow." Xavier nodded.

"Keep up the act." Kyle scoffed.

Even Sophie couldn't help it anymore, "Enough, Xavier, stop the charade."

She looked at Xavier with disappointment, "In five years, you've learned to be deceitful. How could you become like this?"

"I didn't lie," Xavier explained.

He wanted to clarify his identity, but seeing the disbelief in Sophie's eyes, he knew that no matter how he explained, she wouldn't accept it, so he said no more.

"Fine, believe whatever you want," Xavier said helplessly.

"Admit it already, haha..." Kyle was even more triumphant.

"Kyle, take your things and leave," Sophie glared at Kyle.

"Sophie, don't be angry. I didn't mean it. I was just too angry seeing him like this. I'm sorry. If you're unhappy, I won't target him anymore," Kyle quickly explained.

"This is a family matter, don't get involved. Whatever it is, we'll talk about it later," Sophie's tone softened slightly.

"Alright, how about we have dinner together next time?" Kyle suggested.

"Hmm." Sophie hesitated for a moment, remembering how much Kyle had helped her, and nodded her agreement.

"Great, I'll set up a time with you."

Kyle shot Xavier a smug look before leaving the Lewis family.

"Daniel's gifts..."

As soon as he stepped out of the Lewis family gate, he saw the latest limited edition luxury supercar parked at the entrance, worth at least fifty million.

Even Kyle couldn't hide his envy.

In his heart, he became even more determined to pursue Sophie. If Daniel really had his eyes on Serena, as long as he was with Sophie, he could leverage this to connect with Daniel in the future.

"As for Xavier, he's just a nobody to me. I'll find a way to make him disappear."

As he thought about this, he walked towards his car, not noticing a well-built young man who had been following him since he left the Lewis family gate.

Kyle reached his BMW, just about to get in, when the young man stepped forward and blocked him.

"What do you want?" Kyle frowned, "This is my car, you know."

Snap!

The young man, who was Xander, suddenly kicked out, sweeping Kyle's knees and breaking them, causing him to fall to the ground, sweating and screaming in agony.

"Get on your knees." Xander said coldly.

"You're crazy! Who are you?" Kyle was trembling all over.

"Kneel or I'll kill you." Xander's voice was icy.

"I-I'll kneel..."

Thud thud thud!

Despite the pain, Kyle kept bowing his head.

Before long, his forehead was covered in blood.

"Kneeling might be delayed, but it won't be missed, got it?" Xander smiled faintly, patted Kyle on the shoulder, and then turned to leave.

Kyle, "......"

    As Xavier returned to the Lewis family courtyard, he heard Lucy's scolding voice, "I said we shouldn't let that ungrateful wretch Xavier come back, but you insisted on agreeing. Look, yesterday he hit Mr. Rivers, and today he hit another influential young man, and even Cheryl got hit.""He's nothing but a trouble magnet. Later, when he goes to the main house for dinner, he's sure to get scolded by the matriarch.""Sigh..."She let out a weary sigh, and the excitement from the gifts sent by Daniel was gone at the thought of the impending scolding from the matriarch."Mom, I know very well who was right and who was wrong last night."Sophie, holding Sienna, said coldly, "Today's incident was Xavier's fault. I'll make him apologize to Cheryl.""Mommy, Daddy wasn't wrong."At this moment, little Sienna looked up and said, "Aunt Cheryl was the one who first called me a little monster, that's why Daddy got angry. That uncle said bad things about Mommy, and that's why Daddy hit him.""What?

    "Xavier, what are you still doing here?"In the Lewis family courtyard, Lucy eagerly examined the gifts, and upon noticing Xavier still standing aside, she frowned in displeasure."I want to stay with my wife and daughter," Xavier said.He returned to make amends for his regrets and would not leave just because of a few words from Lucy."Your wife and daughter aren't here. This is my house. Get out," Lucy demanded, shaking with rage."I remember when we bought this courtyard, I was the one who paid for it, and it's registered in my name," Xavier said, touching his nose with a smirk.Before Lucy could speak, he continued, "Of course, even if my death certificate is issued, it doesn't matter. As long as I prove I'm still alive, I can reclaim everything. Then, who knows who will have to leave?""You, you ungrateful brat! How did the Lewis family produce such an ungrateful scoundrel like you? You came back to seize the house. Why hasn't lightning struck you down?" Lucy cried out in anger.

    "Sophie, I heard from Auntie that you're not feeling well. I rushed over as soon as I got off the plane. These are gifts I brought especially for you and Auntie."The young man held a bouquet in one hand and a large assortment of expensive supplements in the other, smiling warmly as he greeted Lucy and her husband, "Hello, Uncle and Auntie.""Oh Kyle, it's so nice of you to come, you didn't have to bring gifts!"Lucy smiled broadly and quickly accepted the gifts.Then, noticing Sophie's frighteningly gloomy expression, she quickly called out, "Sophie, what are you doing standing there? Hurry up and take the flowers, invite Kyle in to sit."As for Xavier, she completely ignored him."Auntie, it's fine; we're all family here. No need for formalities."The young man smiled and, without waiting for Sophie to speak, walked directly into the courtyard, greeted Sophie's father familiarly, and sat down to chat.Seeing this, Xavier's expression remained unchanged, but Sophie's face turned extr

Regardless of who it is, even if it's the most powerful person, I will destroy anyone who dares to harm the little princess."At the hotel entrance, little Sienna was once again held by Xavier, burying her small head tightly in his arms. Xander was furious, a fierce, threatening presence emanating from him."She's already been dealt with, no need to act further."Xavier waved his hand.Although the middle-aged woman seemed to have fainted from a single kick, in truth, in his anger, the force of that kick had already left her badly hurt, and she would not recover easily."Sir, what about Sophie? Why is the little princess like this..." Xander was still unable to calm his anger."I haven't seen Sophie yet..."Xavier sighed slightly, recounting the events at the hotel to Xander, then calmly said, "Send a message to the Rivers family, telling the family head to come and apologize on their knees within three days.""Sir, just a mere young ma
