Chapter 1288 – “Cat Got Your Tongues?”
*****“Which modafucker drove that van anyway?!” a pot-bellied man exploded, his voice so loud it practically slapped the air itself.Thick veins bulged aggressively along his neck as if they were also offended on his behalf. “Are you trying to give me a heart attack?! I still have some debts to pay, you bastard!”His glare shot toward the black van like a loaded weapon, and that was all it took.It was as if he had pressed a hidden “release chaos” button.“Is it a fucking toddler driving that thing?!” someone barked from the crowd, his voice laced with disbelief and leftover fear.“Did you want to kill someone today, or is this your daily hobby?!” another yelled, still clutching his chest like his soul had almost checked out early.“Fuck it! I thought only emergency vehicles and authorized cars were allowed here?! Who let this coffin-on-wheels in?!” a third added, waving his hands dramatically like he was filing a complaint to whoever cares to listen.The noise surged, rising
Chapter 1287 – The Car Dealership
*****At the same time, inside a car dealership.It was already approaching evening… around five, and yet the place remained lively, buzzing with activity as though the day had only just begun.Customers still flowed in and out steadily.Employees still moved with practiced efficiency, greeting each visitor with polished smiles that could probably sell ice to a snowman.Deals were still being negotiated, voices rising and falling in calculated persuasion.Somewhere deeper inside, engines were still being revved and admired.Everything remained smooth, orderly, and predictable as ever.This was the same dealership Xavier had visited a few hours earlier… the one that had delayed him endlessly, force-feeding him cup after cup of coffee until he was dangerously close to staging a caffeine-fueled rebellion.[Reference: Chapter 1202]The receptionist… the very woman responsible for his earlier suffering, had returned to her usual self.Gone was the strange behavior from before, a
Chapter 1286 - “You Can All Open Your Eyes Now”
*****This time, Xavier stopped right in front of the Flight Blue Lincoln Navigator, its polished surface gleaming under the soft evening light like a perfectly wrapped secret waiting to be unveiled.“Please don’t open your eyes until I say so,” he said, his tone brimming with barely contained excitement.At that moment, he didn’t look like the same composed, unreadable man from earlier.No… he looked like an overgrown child on Christmas morning, clutching the biggest present in the room and absolutely refusing to let anyone peek before the grand reveal.If anything, his energy was so infectious that even the air around him seemed to buzz.With that, Xavier turned around for the third time, moving with careful precision.Together with Little Lola… who was now fully committed to her role as Assistant of Suspense, they guided Susan and Williams forward.“Careful, careful,” Little Lola whispered loudly, giggling, which again defeated the entire purpose of whispering. “Big surpris
Chapter 1285 – “No Sneaking Peaks”
*****The three women and Little Lola moved first, sticking close behind Xavier, their steps quick, and their eyes already gleaming with anticipation.Little Lola, in particular, looked like she might burst at any moment, her tiny fists clenched in excitement as she bounced along.Behind them, David and Williams followed at a more measured pace, appearing utterly calm… but their eyes betrayed them.Before long, they reached the exit, and just as they were about to step out…Xavier stopped, then turned.“Please, everyone… kindly close your eyes,” he said politely, though the mysterious glint in his gaze and smug grin on his lips had intensified to an almost suspicious degree.“This…”Brows furrowed instantly.‘Close our eyes?’‘What kind of gift needs blindness to work?’‘Is this still a gift or a plot twist?’Their curiosity skyrocketed, colliding violently with mild suspicion. But in the end…They complied.One after the other, their eyes closed, all of them choosing to
Chapter 1284 – ‘I’m Absolutely Enjoying This’
*****Grace froze for a split second, dumbfounded. Then she quietly shut her mouth again, swallowing the rest of her words before they could make things worse.Meanwhile, Xavier didn’t think twice about it.To him, her concern was exactly what it sounded like… concern and nothing more.“Oh, before I forget,” he said suddenly, his tone shifting as he smoothly changed the subject, as though the previous exchange had never happened.Grace blinked, instantly refocusing on him.“I have a gift for you,” Xavier added casually, though the slight gleam in his eyes betrayed a hint of excitement.“Huh?”Grace’s lips parted slightly, her expression blank for a moment as she processed his words.“You… have a gift for me?” she repeated, almost as if confirming she hadn’t misheard.Xavier nodded immediately, his eyes lighting up in a way that was both boyish and suspiciously mischievous.Grace hesitated for exactly half a second before giving in.“…What’s the gift?” she asked, curiosity
Chapter 1283 – ‘That Explanation… Works?’
*****His mother was still seated comfortably, listening to his mother-in-law ramble on in animated celebration, her face glowing with excitement as though she had personally conquered the world.His father, on the other hand, stood firmly beside his father-in-law, nodding along with supportive enthusiasm, occasionally adding a word or two that only seemed to fuel the already unstoppable momentum.The entire scene was lively, noisy, and overflowing with joy.Little Lola had already returned to her corner, completely absorbed in her Labubu toys, humming softly to herself as though nothing else in the world mattered.Not one of them looked up, reacted, or even noticed that Xavier had left… or returned.Xavier paused slightly at this, glancing around with a faint, wry smile creeping onto his face.“…Wow,” he muttered internally. “So this is my position in the family.”For a brief second, he actually looked like he might file a complaint.Then he shook his head lightly, amused mo
