Chapter 1237 – “Uncle!!!”
*****“I got you!” Williams declared triumphantly, his tone brimming with unrestrained joy as he swiftly moved a piece across the board.Before Xavier’s father could even react, his queen was captured.“Sh!t!!!” David blurted out immediately, his face flushing red with frustration as he stared at the board in disbelief.“And I was hoping you wouldn’t notice that,” he added bitterly, shaking his head like a man personally betrayed by fate itself.“Hahaha!” Williams laughed loudly, clearly delighted, his earlier burdens seemingly nonexistent as he basked in his small but satisfying victory.Seeing this, David clicked his tongue, visibly annoyed. “Don’t get too full of yourself,” he shot back, narrowing his eyes. “Remember, I’m still ahead of you by three.”But Williams didn’t even flinch.If anything, his grin widened.“Then I’ll just catch up,” he replied effortlessly, his voice light and completely unconcerned, as though losing or winning didn’t matter nearly as much as the f
Chapter 1236 – ‘…This is Dangerous.’
*****Grace caught Xavier off guard the most.This was the same woman who dominated the business world with an icy presence, the so-called ice goddess whose mere gaze could make seasoned executives break into cold sweats.She had always been strict, composed, and distant… her personality as sharp and unyielding as polished steel.There was always an invisible barrier around her, a quiet pressure that made people instinctively keep their distance, to speak carefully and act cautiously.Yet, right now…Xavier found himself staring at her, his thoughts momentarily derailing.She wasn’t dressed in her usual elegant, imposing attire. There was no tailored suit or commanding presence wrapped in authority. Instead…She was wearing one of his T-shirts… simple and slightly loose, draping comfortably over her frame and softening her entire appearance in a way that almost felt forbidden to witness.Her hair fell more naturally, her posture relaxed, and her expression warm in a way he ha
Chapter 1235 – The Unexpected Scene
*****Xavier’s mouth slowly fell open, his lips parting as his eyes widened inch by inch until they nearly threatened to spill out of their sockets.For a brief moment, he didn’t even breathe properly, his entire expression frozen in stunned disbelief as though his brain had abruptly short-circuited.Whatever he had expected upon stepping into the living room… this was not it. Not even remotely close.He had been fully aware that his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and wife would have woken up by now… after all, several hours had already passed since everything happened.That thought alone had been weighing heavily on his mind throughout the entire ride back.Because once they woke up, there would be no more unconscious escape from reality. They would be forced to confront everything head-on… the betrayal, the humiliation, and the bitter truth that they had been deceived and driven out of what rightfully belonged to them.That was the part Xavier had been bracing himself for.In
Chapter 1234 – Xavier’s Concern
I*****Xavier stopped abruptly, his mind catching up to his mouth and slamming the brake so hard that it might as well have screeched.The damage had already been done.The old man’s face drained of color almost instantly, his expression shifting into something that looked disturbingly close to existential dread, as though he had just heard a forbidden incantation that might summon calamity upon his bloodline.Xavier stared, then blinked once.“…Yeah,” he thought flatly. “This is definitely an allergy.”A wry smile tugged at his lips again, this time more pronounced, though still restrained.He nearly apologized out of reflex, but he caught himself just in time, his lips pressing together briefly as he redirected the sentence with surgical precision.“My appreciation to Sage Myron then,” he corrected smoothly, shifting the target of his gratitude away from the visibly distressed old man.The effect was immediate.It was as though a switch had been flipped.The old man’s rig
Chapter 1233 – Xavier’s Bewilderment
*****After departing from the car dealership, Xavier didn’t make any detours or entertain any lingering thoughts about what had just transpired.He merely told the chauffeur to drive him straight to Oceanview Estate, his voice calm and unhurried, as though nothing of significance had occurred.Silas’s earlier revelations… shocking as they should have been, didn’t seem to occupy even a fraction of his attention.It was as if the entire conversation had been neatly filed away and discarded, irrelevant to his current priorities.To any observer, it would almost appear as though the matter had nothing to do with him at all, as though he were merely a passerby rather than the center of the storm.By the time the black Escalade pulled into the wide grounds of Oceanview Estate, the sky had already turned into the soft colors of late afternoon.It was around four in the evening, the sun hanging lower in the sky, casting long shadows across the driveway and lawns.Xavier stepped out o
Chapter 1232 – Silas’s Urgency
*****Time stretched unnaturally, each passing second feeling heavier than the last.For what felt like an eternity, Silas remained frozen in place, neither moving nor reacting, until finally, his lips parted again.“Have… the other first-rank families discovered his identity?” he whispered to himself, the words coming out slow and uneven, sounding as though they were forcing themselves through a tightening throat.The thought struck him with the force of a lightning bolt, and almost immediately, his entire body reacted… trembling uncontrollably as a cold sweat broke out across his skin.“My… my family has indeed… kicked an iron boulder this time,” he muttered, his face pale as the weight of realization settled heavily on him.His voice wavered despite his effort to steady it, the fear now impossible to hide. “Seems not just our legs would be broken this time, but… we might even be vaporized.”The words hung in the air, grim and suffocating, as the full extent of the situation
