LOGINShe also understood now why Xavier Grayson carried such an overwhelming presence—sometimes even tinged with a hint of bloodthirsty ruthlessness. He was someone who had walked through fire and come out the other side.When he'd returned to New York City a year ago, he was already a king without a crown—experienced, ruthless, and feared.Chloe Bishop couldn't help but ask herself: Chloe, are you truly ready to be Xavier Grayson's woman?As she entered the Bishop estate, she spotted Seth Rollins's car parked right outside the gate—a black Bugatti, low-key yet audacious.Her expression immediately darkened.Xavier Grayson had just left, and Seth Rollins was already here.She couldn't help but wonder—did Seth Rollins know about Xavier Grayson's itinerary?Without getting out, she opened the car door again, slipped back in, turned around, and drove off.She wanted to go see Nora Fatehi—she didn't want to see Seth Rollins.Ever since she'd fled from Seth Rollins's apartment that last time, s
Chloe Bishop felt deeply uneasy.Xavier Grayson's wounds hadn't even healed yet, and he was already going abroad—what could be so urgent?She immediately tried calling him back, but it went straight to voicemail.So she sent him a message instead: "Call me when you get there."The entire afternoon, she felt restless and anxious.When she arrived at the Bishop residence, she parked the car outside the gate and glanced at the vehicle that had been trailing behind her at a distance.Vincent was in that car. Seeing that Chloe Bishop's gaze was fixed on him, he pulled up beside her.She opened the door and got in. "Vincent, your Mr. Grayson said he's going abroad for a few days. Where exactly?"Vincent didn't hold back. He believed Chloe Bishop was a strong woman, different from most. "Something came up in South Africa. Mr. Grayson and Mr. Caesor went together.""Mr. Caesor—Caesor?""Yes."Chloe Bishop frowned. "I had no idea Xavier Grayson had business interests in South Africa."Things w
Ava Adam had also gained quite a few followers over the past couple of days thanks to the Peach Blossom Cup competition, but Chloe Bishop's fan count was still double hers.Even now, the video of Chloe Bishop's race against Anna was still being featured on the homepages of major websites, with views continuing to climb.Only a few days had passed since the event, so Chloe Bishop's popularity hadn't cooled down yet.Jin's fans, however, were feeling down. His leg would take half a year to fully recover—and in the fast-paced world of the internet, six months was more than enough time for his hype to completely fade away.On top of that, many fans had been leaving comments under Chloe Bishop's Whatsapp posts, urging her to represent America in international competitions.She had already responded to that online and didn't plan to say anything more about it.Recently, Bishop Group's retail business had been booming. Chloe Bishop wanted to focus on doing it well—especially on quality contr
Chloe Bishop smiled, reached over to the nightstand, and picked up the snow globe Xavier Grayson had bought her outside the cinema earlier that night. She hugged it to her chest and said with playful glee, "I think you're absolutely right."She was the enchantress sent by God to torment him."Do you like it that much?"Xavier Grayson stared at the snow globe she was clutching so tightly against her chest and felt a twinge of jealousy. He reached over and took it from her. "It's just a pair of little figurines, isn't it?"Inside the snow globe were two adorable figurines—exquisitely made, one boy and one girl, holding hands.The boy had a cool, standoffish look, one hand tucked into his pocket. The girl looked shy, with two rosy blushes on her round cheeks—like the sweetest moment of first love.Chloe Bishop lay in the crook of Xavier Grayson's uninjured arm and pointed at the boy. "See how cocky this guy looks? Doesn't he remind you of someone?"Xavier Grayson snorted. "I'm not that i
Xavier picked up the clothes that Nanny had sent over and headed toward her bathroom, tossing back a cool remark, "Borrowing your bathroom."Chloe Bishop was about to explode. Her lips—the ones he'd kissed—were starting to throb again.No. She had to set some ground rules. There was no way she was letting him stay the night tonight.When Xavier Grayson came out of the bathroom, he found Chloe Bishop sitting in the middle of the bed, hands planted on her hips, looking like she was ready for battle.Xavier Grayson curled his lips and pulled a box out of one of the bags.Feeling ignored, Chloe Bishop was indignant. She fixed him with a powerful stare and said, "Xavier Grayson, I think we need to have a serious talk—"Before she could finish, she saw him take out a syringe from the box.Her expression changed. "What are you doing?"Without looking up, Xavier Grayson replied, "Antibiotics. Those wolves, snakes, scorpions—they all carry a lot of bacteria. So I need the shots."Chloe Bishop:
"Wake up, sleepyhead."Chloe Bishop saw that Xavier Grayson didn't move at all—he seemed to be sound asleep. The theater was nearly empty now, with only the two of them left. If they didn't leave soon, the staff would come to clear the place out."Xavier Grayson?"Still no response.Chloe Bishop frowned and reached out to feel his forehead.His temperature was normal—but she caught a flicker of movement beneath his eyelids.Was he... pretending to be asleep?So she reached down and gently tickled his abdomen.The very next second, Xavier Grayson grabbed her waist and captured her lips in a possessive kiss—the very lips he'd been craving all night.In a luxurious penthouse apartment somewhere in the city, Seth Rollins stood in the darkness, staring at the photos his men had sent him. His eyes were icy cold.He raised the cigarette between his fingers to his lips and took a long, deep drag.The thin veil of smoke did nothing to hide the cold-blooded ruthlessness in his gaze.After a lon
The Ghosts of DubaiSarah Vance raised an arched, heroic brow. "Chloe, did you go and trigger another romantic debt?""Impossible," Chloe Bishop retorted, her voice flat. "Do you see even a sliver of adoration in the way he’s looking at me right now?"She admitted she was attractive, but she wasn't
Sarah Vance let out a soft laugh. "Don't say that. I don't have anything left to teach you two.""Whether you do or not, we’ll talk once we’re moving," Chloe Bishop said, pushing Sarah into the driver's seat before climbing into the back. "Tonight, the three of us are going to feel the true power o
Blood once again stained Arthur Vance’s palm, but he seemed incapable of feeling the physical pain. His mind was consumed by a singular, burning question: Who gave Sarah Vance such confidence? Was it Julian Thorne?. He scoffed at the idea; Julian was an outsider with no real industry in Sea City. E
Xavier Grayson turned a deaf ear to Donovan Tang’s explanation. His razor-sharp gaze remained fixed solely on Chloe Bishop; he demanded the truth from her lips alone."After we parted ways last night, I drove him back," Chloe explained, her demeanor open and untroubled. "There was not a single impr
