The henchmen in black suits sent Victor’s thugs flying. An imposing man emerged behind his henchmen and roared, “Victor Shud, how dare you threaten Mr. Xayne?! Are you courting death?”Donovan and his henchmen had long been waiting outside. When they heard the commotion in the showroom, they charged in. These were Donovan’s trusted henchmen who possessed formidable skills, and Victor’s thugs stood no chance against them.Although Victor’s thugs could intimidate ordinary citizens, facing Donovan’s seasoned henchmen resembled suicide.Victor froze upon hearing Donovan’s booming voice. Cold sweat formed on the former's forehead as he turned and tried shaking Donovan’s hand, saying, “M-Mr. Donovan?! To what do I owe the pleasure of your visit to my humble establishment?”Donovan stood before Victor and slapped the latter, causing him to spin. Victor was dumbfounded and wide-eyed as he palmed his cheek. He asked in puzzlement, “D-Did I do something wrong, Mr. Donovan? Why’d you hit me?”

These two individuals were Aaron Tate, the head of Shalholm's Federal Real Estate Board, and Noah Shard from the Regulatory Board. Many of Shalholm’s wealthy elites greatly revered the two because most matters required their involvement.The two men exchanged glances, knowing trouble was brewing. Soon, they entered the showroom with their assistants. They were shocked and panicked upon seeing the commotion inside.Aaron rushed forward and shouted, “Everyone, stop!”Victor frowned and turned to look toward the entrance. He trembled in shock when he saw Aaron and Noah. He smiled awkwardly and stammered, “M-Mr. Aaron, Mr. Noah, what are you two doing here?”Everyone was in disbelief when they heard those names. Not even three minutes had passed, yet the duo had already arrived. Immediately after, the crowd turned to Xayne.Victor also realized the situation and glanced at Xayne.Meanwhile, Aaron and Noah ran through the crowd and approached Xayne, utterly ignoring Victor. The duo lo

As Xayne left Oceanfront Estate, he received a call from Violet. She simply told him to go to the company without explaining why.When Xayne arrived at Swift Group, he sensed an unusual atmosphere. A line of fully armed soldiers were guarding every entrance and exit. Several military jeeps were outside the building.As Xayne entered the lobby, he saw many soldiers standing beside each other. Their expressions were tense as Xayne frowned and walked to the conference room. Four armed soldiers stood guard at the conference room entrance.When Xayne opened the door, he saw the company’s executives and the Swifts standing nervously on either side. However, an arrogant young man sat in the chairman’s seat instead of Eric.The man wore green military attire and a soldier’s cap with a golden ear of wheat. The ornaments on the young man’s shoulders showed he was a Major General. It was Adrian Lenning.He exuded a commanding and proud presence as he sat there. A hint of coldness gleamed in

Eric turned to Serena and shouted, “Is this the ‘fine’ man you chose as your husband?! Look at what he’s up to now!”His stern words woke Serena from her daze, and she grabbed Xayne’s arm. She shook her head as tears rolled down her cheeks, speaking desperately, “Please, stop, Xayne! He’s my grandfather. Please stop causing more trouble.”Xayne halted and shifted his gaze to Serena. He felt conflicted but still suppressed his anger. He turned to glare at Eric without saying a word.The older man sighed in relief and glared back at Xayne before returning his attention to Adrian. Eric smiled, saying, “Major General Adrian, you can punish Xayne as you please. You can even take him away. That bastard has no ties with my family.”It turned out that Xayne’s return would appease Adrian’s wrath. No wonder Serena would rather endure a beating than reveal her husband’s whereabouts.Adrian smirked and approached Xayne. The two locked eyes as the former said, “It’s a pleasure to see you again

Xayne pushed Zachary aside and held Serena’s slender waist to lead her away.Zachary was furious.'What’s he doing here? I came to confess my feelings for Serena, only to have this idiot swoop in and ruin everything!’Zachary grabbed Xayne’s arm to pull him away, but the latter did not budge. Instead, Zachary stumbled when Xayne simply shrugged, causing the former to almost fall face-first.“Y-You little shit!” Zachary was outraged and embarrassed. “You’re nothing but a worthless mutt who’s unworthy of Serena! You should leave her because only I can make her happy by giving her everything she desires. What can you offer her?”While Zachary rambled on, Xayne calmly turned and chucked, saying, “Oh, you can give her everything she wants, huh?”“Yeah, I can! I’m the heir to the Hygers, not to mention we have billions in assets. Just my salary is in the millions. I can provide Serena with luxury homes, fancy cars, and traveling worldwide.“Meanwhile, you’re just an idiot from the fal
