Chapter 1355 – Hunter’s Experience
*****For several long seconds after hearing Xavier’s question, Hunter remained completely silent, not reacting a bit.But looking at him right now, the look of pain, exhaustion, and suppressed fury in his eyes alone already answered half the question.It was so intense that even Xavier, someone usually too lazy to care deeply about most things, found his curiosity intensifying.Finally, after a moment that felt like a long time, Hunter exhaled a long, unbearably heavy breath, like a man trying to spit out an entire week of suffering through a single breath.Then his fists tightened so violently that the wounds across his knuckles reopened slightly, staining the bandages faintly red again.“Boss…” he finally muttered hoarsely. “I’ve been getting hunted nonstop since the day you departed.”Silence.This response… if not for the suffocating atmosphere that currently enveloped the room, the statement would almost have sounded ridiculous.The man named Hunter… is being hunted.Even Xavier
Chapter 1354 – A Completely Changed Hunter
*****Hearing the driver, Xavier nodded lightly, paid the fare, and stepped out of the vehicle.The place before him was a somewhat rundown, quiet motel near the outskirts of the city… the kind of place that only stranded people patronize.Seeing this, however, Xavier merely narrowed his eyes slightly.Then, without lingering around, he calmly scanned the main building for a moment before casually heading toward a particular room as though he had visited countless times before.Once he arrived outside the room, he lifted his hand, preparing to knock, but then suddenly…Click.The door slowly opened by itself, a sight that instantly sharpened Xavier’s gaze.Through the slight opening, he caught sight of the room’s interior… and pitch darkness greeted him completely.The kind that made one suspect a vampire was paying monthly rent inside.But before Xavier could think much further…“Boss… please enter,” a low, hoarse voice said quietly from within.Xavier, "_."His brows furrowed faintl
Chapter 1353 – “I’m Very Smart”
*****Completely oblivious to Grace’s reaction after he escaped, Xavier didn’t waste even a second after stepping out of Villa Number One.He was absolutely convinced that if he delayed even slightly, his prideful wife would storm after him, shove the card back into his face, and lecture him with that cold, elegant expression of hers.And Xavier, being the intelligent man that he was, naturally chose survival first.Without hesitation, he jumped into the estate’s assigned vehicle, urging the driver toward the estate gate.The moment they arrived there, he immediately flagged down a taxi like a fugitive fleeing a crime scene and slipped inside so quickly that even the soldiers guarding the gate stared at him strangely.“Sir… are you being chased?” The taxi driver asked cautiously after watching Xavier repeatedly glance behind him.Xavier instantly coughed dryly. “No.”Then, after a pause, he added seriously.“Well, I’m running from my wife.”The taxi driver, “_”The driver silently fac
Chapter 1352 – Grace’s Tenderness
*****At this moment, both Williams and Susan were wearing completely different outfits from yesterday.Not only that.The outfits were new as well, a realization that left Grace stunned for a moment until, ultimately, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.Her mother had lied with such confidence and righteousness that even professional scammers would probably bow respectfully before her.‘Mother… if you simply wanted to go shopping, couldn’t you just say so directly?’ Grace thought helplessly.After all, Xavier’s parents had already given her parents enough clothes just yesterday… enough to last comfortably for days.Yet somehow, her mother still used “limited clothing” as an excuse.‘Amazing… truly amazing.’Unable to help herself, Grace gently massaged her temples, suddenly feeling exhausted.Beside her, Xavier also smiled bitterly.Originally, he had wanted to accompany his wife personally, spend time with her before leaving town, tease her during shopping, and maybe secretly h
Chapter 1351 – A Smart Move Vs A Smart Move
*****By this point, Grace had completely regained her calm and elegant demeanor.No trace of her earlier embarrassment remained visible on her face.If anything, she looked so composed that no one would ever believe this same woman had nearly combusted from embarrassment during breakfast less than thirty minutes ago.Looking respectfully at everyone, she spoke.“Due to the recent chaos and unexpected situations, I would need to head to work today,” she explained gently, her gaze unconsciously lingering slightly longer on the two mothers.The moment Xavier heard that opening sentence, his eyes couldn’t help but narrow subtly.Then internally, he instantly rolled his eyes.‘What an incredibly smart woman,’ he thought to himself proudly, instantly understanding what Grace was trying to do.If she had bluntly announced that she intended to go to work, the two mothers would absolutely refuse on the spot and bombard her with concerns, especially after this morning’s misunderstanding.But n
Chapter 1350 – Grace’s Speechlessness
*****“Does… that mean you’re no longer mad at me?” Xavier asked seriously, staring fixedly at her.Instantly, Grace paused for a second before looking at him, smiling faintly.“Was I mad at you before?” she asked back, her voice still calm and gentle.‘Huh?’ Xavier blinked, his brain going blank for a second, then…‘Right…’ Realization slowly struck him. ‘She hadn’t actually been angry,’ he thought to himself.‘She had simply been caught off guard and reluctant to see me leave right after we had finally grown closer.The realization stirred his heart intensely.But still, Xavier quickly forced himself back to reality.“Then… are we okay now?” he asked again carefully.Oddly enough, Xavier suddenly felt nervous waiting for her answer.Grace, however, remained silent for several seconds.And the longer that silence stretched, the more unstable Xavier became internally.By the third second, his mind had already gone into chaos, one thought after another echoing in his head

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.
