Chapter 1342 – “Aunty, You Are Glowing Differently this Morning”
*****Just last night, she had still been the same calm, aloof woman countless people in the business world called the “ice-goddess.”Yet now… one shirtless man had nearly turned her brain into mashed potatoes.It was humiliating.No…It was catastrophic.And the worst part was that Xavier clearly knew exactly what he was doing.That shameless man had practically paraded around slowly on purpose earlier, acting innocent while committing crimes against her mental stability.The thought alone made Grace bite her lower lip bitterly.“Hopeless…”Still, despite all the chaos in her heart, she gradually forced herself to calm down.Before long, her breathing steadied, her expression gradually calmed, and the embarrassment slowly faded from her face until at last, the elegant, cold, and untouchable Grace finally returned.At least outwardly.Meanwhile, after getting dressed, Xavier finally walked back into the bedroom.The moment he entered and saw Grace sitting there calmly wi
Chapter 1341 – Grace’s Embarrassment
*****“Go get dressed,” Grace said abruptly, her tone completely changed.It was no longer weak or flustered.Instead, it became strangely strict, almost like an icy queen trying desperately to regain control over her collapsing empire.Hearing that sudden tone shift, Xavier paused briefly before obediently nodding.“Okay.”Grace narrowed her eyes slightly in suspicion. ‘That easy?’But before she could think further, Xavier casually stood up from the bed, and that single action nearly sent Grace’s soul flying out of her body again.Xavier was stark naked.His tall frame looked almost unreal, every muscle smooth and well-defined without appearing overly bulky.His broad shoulders, firm chest, narrow waist, and long legs all fit together in a way that seemed unfairly perfect.And then… Grace’s gaze accidentally drifted lower.In the very next second, her brain stopped functioning again.She swallowed hard unconsciously, her heartbeat pounding so violently that for a moment
Chapter 1340 – “Go Get Dressed”
*****At this moment, Xavier could only stare dazedly at Grace, her face so unbearably cute that for a brief second, his mind genuinely stopped functioning.The usually cold and aloof woman before him was currently standing there with flushed cheeks, avoiding his gaze like someone who had committed a crime against humanity itself.It was such a devastating sight that Xavier’s heart instantly lost balance, and before he realized it, his eyes suddenly blazed with dangerous heat, his breathing growing rougher.“I could have you again right now if you allow me,” he growled hoarsely.By the side, the low, heated sound instantly startled Grace so badly that her heart nearly leapt out of her chest.“You…” She subconsciously stepped backward, panic flooding her face. “What… what are you talking about?”Xavier swallowed hard at her appearance.“What we did last night,” he confessed shamelessly, and hearing him, Grace’s entire face instantly turned crimson again.The redness spread fro
Chapter 1339 – Xavier’s Shamelessness
*****Before seeing Xavier, Grace had still been sleepy enough to barely keep her eyes open.Yet somehow, the instant her gaze landed on his face, every trace of drowsiness disappeared completely.Instead, she unconsciously found herself staring, and staring, and somehow still staring.The warm expression on Xavier’s sleeping face, the relaxed look he rarely showed around others, the faint smile that occasionally appeared at the corners of his lips…Grace had completely lost herself watching him.At some point, she had even started wondering what kind of dream could make him smile so gently like that.Then another dangerous thought followed immediately after.‘Was I in that dream?’And before she even realized how ridiculous she looked…Xavier woke up and caught her red-handed.Grace was so embarrassed that she nearly died spiritually on the spot.But Xavier?“Hehehe, you don’t need to be shy,” he teased mischievously while leaning slightly closer. “Your husband is extrem
Chapter 1338 – Grace’s Panic
*****“Ah!”Grace suddenly cried out softly and jumped back like a startled rabbit whose secret had just been exposed publicly.Hearing this, Xavier blinked blankly, completely caught off guard.But then… something felt wrong.The atmosphere, surroundings, and even warmth itself.The realization instantly made Xavier frown slightly before instinctively turning his head around again.In the following second, his expression changed.The garden was gone… and so was the recliner.The sunlight, flowers, and peaceful scenery had all vanished as well.Even the two girls were nowhere to be seen again.Instead, he found himself lying inside a cozy, quiet bedroom, the dim lighting and surroundings quite familiar.Just then…Xavier’s eyes widened slightly as realization finally struck him fully.“That was…” He paused, a helpless, bitter feeling suddenly rising inside his chest. “A dream.”The warmth, laughter, and peaceful atmosphere… everything had felt unbelievably real.Especi
Chapter 1337 – A Peaceful Moment
*****At this moment, Xavier was reclining lazily in a wooden recliner, a faint, satisfied smile resting on his face as he calmly flipped open another page of the book in his hand.Beside him, a small stool held a chilled cup of beer covered in tiny droplets of water, and every now and then, he would casually reach over, take a slow sip, then continue reading as though the world itself had finally decided to stop troubling him for once.The atmosphere around him was completely peaceful.The warm afternoon breeze drifted gently through the garden, rustling the flowers and leaves softly, while sunlight bathed everything in a golden glow.Birds chirped in the distance, the fountain nearby produced a relaxing trickling sound, and for the first time in what felt like forever, Xavier truly looked at ease.There were no enemies, schemes, pressure, or anything, just peace.Then suddenly…“Papa!”A tiny, melodious voice sounding like a sound from heaven, echoed out without warning, st

It’s dragging and boring to say the least. Get on with the story line or you’re going to ruin it big time.
The scene in the conference room took several chapters only to conclude with Lucius leaving. This is longer than a whole episode of Perry Mason.
