Chapter 1265 – “Don’t!”
*****It was just two words… two short, simple words.However, coming from her, they didn’t sound simple at all.They came out trembling and unbearably heavy, as though they carried everything she couldn’t put into speech… regret, guilt, and millions of other unspoken words layered one over the other until those two words alone felt like an entire confession.It was the kind of sincerity that couldn’t be faked.The moment the words left her lips, her body quivered again, her composure cracking further under the weight of everything she felt.“I…” she tried to continue, her voice catching in her throat, desperate to say more, to explain, and make things right somehow.But…“Shhh…”A soft sound cut through her words, and before she could even process it, she felt a warm finger gently pressing against her lips, halting everything she was about to say.Grace flinched slightly, her eyes widening in surprise as her mouth instinctively parted beneath the touch.Her mind stalled fo
Chapter 1264 – “What Have I Done?”
*****Before those words were uttered, she had been fighting sleep with everything she had, stubbornly resisting it despite her exhaustion, her mind refusing to shut down.But the moment he had said those words…Her resistance had crumbled, and her brain, as though it had grown a mind of its own, had decided on its own that it was safe to let go.And she had fallen into a deep, peaceful, and unaware sleep.Until now, she hadn’t remembered any of it, as though that moment had never existed, but now that it resurfaced…It refused to leave.Instead, it clung to her thoughts, tightening around her heart like a vice, and with it…Her guilt exploded, surging so violently that her entire body felt weak, as though the strength had been drained from her bones.‘What have I done?!’The question struck her like a sledgehammer, sending shockwaves through her entire being.Her vision wavered, her balance faltered, and for a split second, it truly felt like she might collapse right there
Chapter 1263 – Grace’s Regret
*****‘You knew how much I valued that company!’The words echoed in her mind, sharp and cold, carrying the exact tone she had used earlier… raspy, distant, and filled with accusation.Her body reacted instantly, a chill running down her spine as more memories surfaced without mercy.She remembered everything.The way she had looked at Xavier… cold and unforgiving, the disappointment in her eyes, the accusation in her voice, and the tone she used when she spoke to him earlier, following the report of the Oriens’ press conference.She hadn’t just questioned him; she had blamed him, throwing everything at him without hesitation, giving him the chance to explain, or even trying to understand.She had completely discarded everything between them in that moment.And now…The more Grace remembered, the more her body trembled, her fingers curling slightly as her face slowly lost all color.Ultimately…‘I…’Grace took two heavy steps back, each one unsteady, as though the ground b
Chapter 1262 – Grace’s Realization
*****At this moment, Grace felt that her brain wasn’t functioning properly, her thoughts slow and disorganized, as though everything inside her had jammed at once.Her heart pounded violently in her chest, each beat loud and frantic, echoing in her ears like a drum she couldn’t silence.The question she had just asked…She already knew the undeniable truth.Knowing herself better than most people, she knew well that she didn’t have what it took to catch the interest of a first-rank family, let alone four of them.That wasn’t self-doubt… it was something she had experienced firsthand, repeatedly, painfully, and without mercy. And given everything that had happened in the past, there was only one person capable of pulling off something like this.Before Xavier entered her life, she had struggled endlessly, working herself to exhaustion for years, doing everything within her power, literally… everything legal and reasonable just to get a chance at Projects Echelon.She hadn’t ev
Chapter 1261 – “Was… It You?”
*****At best, the first-rank families would allow their family members to borrow influence… to leverage the family name to achieve something on their own, but outright backing and public endorsement? That was rare to the point of being almost nonexistent.And yet…Not one or two.Four first-rank families had stepped forward, supporting his daughter so openly and almost eagerly that it felt as though they were seeking her approval and favor.Williams’ thoughts became chaotic, one crashing into the next as he tried to make sense of it all, but no matter how hard he tried, nothing aligned.Nothing made sense or followed the rules he had known all his life.But despite that…There was one thing he couldn’t deny.The joy.It rose within him quietly at first, then stronger and fuller, until it filled his chest completely, pushing everything else aside.No matter how confusing it was or unbelievable it seemed…This was real.Four of those untouchable existences… openly supporti
Chapter 1260 – Williams’ Chaotic Emotions
*****At this moment, it wasn’t just a grin again on Susan’s face.No.Her smile had stretched from ear to ear… so wide that it looked like it might split her face if it went any further.Her eyes shone brightly, almost unnaturally so, like someone had lit two small torches inside them.“Hehehe!”Unable to control her emotions again, she suddenly burst into uncontrollable laughter… so intense that it directly shattered the silence of the room, making nearly everyone flinch so violently it was as though they had been struck.“This is real after all!!!” she exclaimed loudly, her voice rising, trembling with overwhelming emotion.“Hahaha! This is not a dream!!!”Her laughter echoed loudly through the room, tears already beginning to spill from her eyes as the flood of emotions finally broke through the dam she had been holding all day.Pure, overwhelming joy, schadenfreude, delight, shock, relief, and gratitude all surged through her at once, blending into something chaotic and
