All eyes turned to Xayne and Ariana as they entered. Nicholas and Amelia looked at the two and frowned slightly.“Who are you?” Nicholas’s assistant stepped forward and pushed up his glasses.Xayne raised a brow, looking at the man indifferently, stating, “I’m Xayne. The authorities arrested Abel at my request.”Amelia scrutinized Xayne’s attire, realizing how plain his clothes were. She rebuked, “Did you frame my son? Do you have any idea who we are? How dare you plot against Abel?”Xayne glared at Amelia in her flashy attire and asked, “You’re his mother?”“What’s wrong? Do you want to arrest me too? I’m Amelia Hawthorn, not an ordinary person. If you don’t let my son go, I’ll get someone to kill you,” Ameluia threatened. She spoke proudly, not taking Xayne seriously.To Amelia, a person from the lower strata of society had no right to shout at her. She held the power to decide a person’s fate and even life with just a word.Still, Xayne smirked, saying, “It seems the apple do

Xayne stunned everyone with his words. He displayed unparalleled confidence to speak such words against the chairman of the Ghazali Corporation. Even Ariana was astonished as she looked at Xayne.‘Why is he so confident?’Ariana tugged at Xayne’s sleeve and whispered with concern, “Xayne, stop talking like that. Did you forget what I told you before we came?”She knew arguing with her father like this would not end well for Xayne. Nicholas was a ruthless man who believed in retribution for transgressions. Otherwise, his business would not have grown so immensely.Ariana had a profound understanding of her father’s temperament and methods. He was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. With Xayne being so assertive, Nicholas would find a way to deal with him.Nonetheless, Xayne glanced at Ariana and said, “It’s okay. I can handle myself.”Ariana fell silent while her father looked solemn. Nicholas stared at Xayne piercingly and said, “Since that’s the case, let’s make a deal. If I bail my son

Clang!Henry nearly fell out of his seat. He paled and anxiously asked, “The Supreme Commander of the Northern Plains wants me to do this? Are you sure?”Harold urgently explained, “Do you think I’d lie to you? The King of the North is here in Shalholm and has kept his identity a secret all along. Abner has offended him and wants to protect the Ghazali Corporation’s hier, Abel. Do you have any idea what Abel got himself into?”Henry hastily wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, asking, “How did Abel get involved?”Harold instructed his driver to rush to the Silburg Division Patrol Bureau and continued, “Abel used a collaboration deal to lure the Supreme Commander’s wife to a hotel. Then, he drugged her and attempted to rape her.”Henry was astounded.‘Abel tried to defile the Supreme Commander’s wife?! That’s a crime worthy of a punishment Abel can never imagine.’“So, you’re telling me the owner of the Ghazali Corporation is using his connections to have Abner intervene?” Hen

Abner sighed in relief when he saw Henry leading the team. The former stood up and chuckled, saying, “Mr. Henry, you wouldn’t be pulling my leg, would you? I’m a law-abiding citizen, so this must be a joke.”Abner grinned and offered Henry a cigarette. However, Henry remained indifferent as he rejected the cigarette and said, “Mr. Abner, or rather, Abner, I’m not joking. You are currently under investigation for suspected misconduct. Please put aside your pretenses.”Abner’s expression darkened. He let out a forceful laugh and said, “Are you really going to investigate me, Mr. Henry? Are you sure you have the evidence to prove I’ve committed misconduct?”Henry had expected Abner’s response. The former took a report file from his assistant and slammed it onto the table, saying, “You still refuse to admit your wrongdoing, Abner?! These are the two-year results of an investigation into your wrongdoings.”Abner shuddered when he saw the thick stack of report files. Sweat formed on his

Xayne narrowed his eyes and slowly released his cold aura. He said firmly, “I am.”The middle-aged man slowly rose with a smile. He put his hands behind his back and said, “Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Master Lucian Bart.”Xayne frowned.‘It seems Ariana didn’t mislead me. The people the Waltons sent are prompt.’Coco waved her little hand at Xayne and happily exclaimed, “Daddy, this man bought me lots of yummy treats and fun toys!”Xayne smiled faintly at her and took a few steps forward to carry Coco off the ground. He gently rubbed her nose, then approached Serena sitting on the sofa. He handed Coco to her and said, “You two wait outside. I have something to discuss with Master Lucian.”Serena took Coco, and her tense heart finally eased. The former looked at Xayne and asked with concern, “Will you be okay?”Xayne nodded and caressed Serena’s silky hair. “I’m fine. Go play with Coco outside for a while.”Serena nodded and wanted to leave, but two men blocked her. Lucian
