Chapter 1253 – Four Bombs
*****The Blackwoods were understandable. Their motives were practically written in bold letter, but the Greystones… their involvement didn’t align cleanly with anything he knew.He replayed possibilities, motives, and hidden intentions, but nothing clicked, and for someone like Xavier, that was mildly irritating.After a few seconds, he gave up.‘No point racking my brain over something I can’t deduce,’ he decided calmly, lazily dismissing the thought as easily as he would brush dust off his sleeve.With that, his gaze shifted back to the television.It was on break.Right now, a loud, cheerful advertisement played across the screen, completely out of place against the emotional turmoil filling the room. The contrast felt almost jarring.A smiling family happily drinking juice, a man laughing over discounted furniture, and someone shouting about limited-time offers like the world hadn’t just tilted off its axis.It was completely absurd, and then…The break ended.A second
Chapter 1252 – Xavier’s Confusion
*****At this moment, whether it was Grace, her mother, her father, David, Laura, or even little Lola…Every single one of them stood frozen like lifeless statues… unable to move, blink, or make even the slightest sound.Their eyes had widened so much that it honestly felt like a miracle they hadn’t popped out and rolled across the floor.Absolutely no one had seen any of this coming.Not even Xavier.Yes… he knew about the Harrisons.That part wasn’t surprising… after all, he had arranged it himself, though not exactly the way they had executed it. He had only intended for them to put the Oriens in their place and eliminate any form of scandal against Grace and her company.But the Blackwoods… and the Greystones…That part was completely outside his expectations.Xavier’s gaze remained fixed on the screen, but his thoughts were already moving.‘Perhaps the Blackwoods are easier to understand,’ the thought suddenly crossed his mind. ‘They’re likely using this opportunity to
Chapter 1251 – The Room’s Shock
*****“This…”Nearly every eye bugged, almost falling out of their sockets.By now, every single person in the living room had turned completely rigid, appearing as though time itself had suddenly paused and forgotten to resume.Their bodies were stiff, unmoving, and their gazes glued tightly to the television as the reporter continued to highlight the events of the day without the slightest intention of slowing down for their sanity.[- Furthermore, the Blackwood family expressed profound admiration for CEO Grace Sky’s talent and leadership, proposing a corporate merger in which Blackwood Conglomerate would integrate with Sky Group under her direction, placing her in the leading position.]This time, the news didn’t just land… it crashed, nearly all brain seeming to implode.‘Corporate… merge?’ The words rang through every mind like a bell, unfamiliar and almost incomprehensible, as if spoken in a language none of them had ever heard before today. ‘Integrate Blackwood with… Sk
Chapter 1250 – Shocking News
*****Xavier’s lips parted again, instinctively trying to explain, but once again, Grace didn’t let him.Grace didn’t raise her voice or argue… she simply looked at him, and that was enough.That single glance said everything: pain, disbelief, disappointment, and something deeper… something that cut far more than anger ever could.Seeing this, Xavier’s words died completely in his throat.‘This…’His mouth opened, closed, opened again, and then closed once more.For what felt like the first time in a long while, Xavier genuinely didn’t know what to say.He, who could usually brush off misunderstandings without a second thought, now found himself trapped in a suffocating silence, but now…That morning, seeing how exhausted Grace was… how she hadn’t slept in over twenty-four hours and how heavily everything she had been through weighed on her, he had made what he believed was a practical, reasonable decision.He had put her phone on DND and silence so she could rest and wouldn
Chapter 1249 – Accused
*****“You knew how much I valued that company.”Grace’s voice cut through the silence, raspy, slow, and cold.It wasn’t emotional or loud, yet it carried a weight that instantly pressed down on Xavier’s chest like a collapsing mountain.His lips parted slightly, but no sound came out.“You knew the story behind it,” Grace continued, each word measured and deliberate, like a blade being sharpened. “You knew how much it meant to me… how much I built with my own hands.”Her gaze didn’t waver, soften, or forgive.“You could have woken me to deal with things myself before it got the worst.”That was it.She didn’t raise her voice or lash out, but somehow, that only made it worse.After all, even though she didn’t show the slightest visible reaction, he could still sense what lay beneath her calm, icy composure.It was disappointment… the kind that doesn’t explode, but lingers.Xavier directly felt it hit him square in the chest.Without even realizing it, his heart began to p
Chapter 1248 – “You Knew How Much I Valued That Company”
*****Williams didn’t utter a single sound, yet the silence around him roared louder than any outburst ever could.His fists were clenched so tightly that they trembled by his side, his knuckles drained of all color as if the blood itself had recoiled from the violence in his thoughts.Thick veins snaked along his forearms, pulsing with a ferocity that hinted he might snap at any second.His entire frame was rigid, like a man barely restraining a beast clawing its way out from within.His eyes had turned a terrifying crimson… bloodshot, burning, and filled with a hatred so intense that it felt almost tangible, as if meeting his gaze could scorch you.And then his aura… it was chaos incarnate right now.Helplessness clashed with suppressed rage, while weakness warred against a desperate urge to destroy.However, towering above every other emotion… overwhelming and suffocating, was a single, undeniable force.Hatred.Williams was drowning in it right now, and how could he not
