It took Chloe Bishop several long seconds to process what Xavier Grayson was actually implying. The silence in the office became deafening as the weight of his accusation settled over them.

"You think..." Chloe finally spoke, her voice trembling slightly with a mix of disbelief and hurt. "You think because I can't let go of Liam Martin, I saw Coach Lee—who happens to have a similar disability—and decided to help him? You think I’d sabotage my own career and join a failing team just because of a

    "So, you won't let go!"Sarah Vance reached out, grabbed a fruit plate from the table, and swung it at Julian Thorne’s head. Julian was quick enough to dodge. "Sarah, are you trying to murder your own husband?" he barked. He recognized the behavior instantly; it was the same shameless tactic she had used years ago when they were younger. Back then, she had actually hit him with a stone, leaving a scar on his head that remained to this day. Despite being nearly thirty, her "fight dirty" instincts hadn't changed. Julian used his strength to wrest the fruit plate from her grip and flung it across the room.Sarah continued her assault, claws out. "Say that one more time and see if I don't tear your mouth apart!" The term "husband" infuriated her; she couldn't stand him taking such liberties with her.The教训 (Lesson) and the PositionJulian finally snapped. He caught her hands, but not before her nails left two bleeding scratches across his neck. "You crazy woman! If I don't give you a less

    Sarah Vance stared at Julian Thorne with icy eyes. She took a strategic step back, her lips parting to deliver a ruthless command: "Get him!"At her word, two hulking bodyguards—fists the size of sandbags—charged forward. They were fueled by a need for vengeance, determined to crush the man who had just humiliated their comrades.Ten seconds later, the hallway was filled with wailing.Julian stood unscathed, casually dusting off his sleeves before his long legs closed the distance toward Sarah. Sensing the shift in power, Sarah turned and bolted. A true "hero" knows when to retreat, and she was a firm believer in self-preservation.But this "hero" didn't make it far. Julian caught her easily, his arm sweeping around her waist as he hoisted her over his shoulder."What are you doing? You lunatic, put me down!" Sarah’s face paled as she struggled, but Julian was like a machine of iron—not only was he incredibly strong, but he seemed impervious to her blows.He kicked the remaining groan

    Liam Jr.’s eyes sparkled as he held up his whiteboard to Xavier Grayson."Is any request okay?"Xavier tapped his fingers on the desk, suspecting what was on the boy's mind. After a moment, he replied, "As long as it is within my power, I will agree." To his surprise, the boy’s demand was modest: "I want to eat the small wontons Chloe makes." Xavier raised an eyebrow; he had expected a demand for Chloe to move back in, but this was easily satisfied. "Fine, I promise you."Little did Xavier know, the crafty child hadn't specified how many times he wanted them.Erasure of a HabitAfter Liam Jr. returned to his room, Xavier washed the dishes. As he prepared to leave the kitchen, his gaze fell upon an apron hanging on the wall. The image of Chloe Bishop busy in the kitchen flashed through his mind. Without a second of hesitation, he pulled the apron down and threw it into the trash.In the master bedroom, every trace of Chloe had been systematically erased. The blankets and sheets were br

    "Everyone dies when they get old," Xavier Grayson said calmly to Liam Jr., "but Great-Grandmother is very healthy right now. She should be able to stay with you for a long time."Liam Jr. scribbled another question: What about Grandma? I like Grandma too.At the mention of An Lan, Xavier’s face darkened slightly. "Grandma is with Grandpa. She’ll come to visit you when she’s free."The Mystery of the Buried BrotherXavier’s mind drifted to the complicated web of the Grayson bloodline. If An Lan was telling the truth, then Liam Jr. was indeed a Grayson by blood. However, the key to the truth—An Nian—was dead, his body cremated and buried long ago.When An Nian died, he had only told Xavier that his mother was An Lan; he never claimed Xavier Sr. was his father. At the time, Xavier had confronted An Lan, who insisted An Nian was merely his half-brother from a different father. Xavier had believed her then and hadn't thought to save An Nian’s DNA samples.Now, investigating the truth was p

    Xavier Grayson was undeterred by Liam Jr.’s violent outburst. As long as the boy didn't harm himself, Xavier was content to let him vent his rage. "What is the use of screaming?" Xavier challenged, his voice steady. "If you have the ability, say those words out loud. If you do, I will take you to see her immediately."Liam Jr.’s face turned crimson, his small hands trembling as he clenched them into fists. He shrieked at his father, but the actual words remained locked behind his vocal cords. Realizing his father wouldn't budge, the boy began to smash everything in sight. Xavier simply locked the door and watched with cold detachment.The Breaking PointWhen there was nothing left to break, the fire in Liam Jr.’s heart still burned. He lunged at Xavier, but the man easily extended a hand to hold the boy’s head at a distance. "I told you, if you speak, I will satisfy your request," Xavier said. "I brought you back from America to make you better, not to watch you throw a tantrum."Driv

    "I called the police," Sarah Vance’s voice crackled over the phone, sharp and unyielding. "I’m letting them deal with him. If I don't kick him out tonight, I’ll change my surname."Chloe Bishop was momentary stunned. "...Well done!"If you can’t win the fight, call the authorities. Chloe couldn’t help but be reminded of their childhood, when Sarah would resort to throwing stones at Donovan Tang whenever she lost a physical bout. The methods had evolved, but the essence—the stubborn refusal to admit defeat—remained exactly the same.Knowing Sarah was safe, Chloe finally felt the gnawing emptiness in her own stomach. Between her hospital visit with Donovan after work and the chaotic evening at the KTV, she hadn't eaten a real meal. It was now past 1:00 AM.Refusing to wake the servants, she headed to the kitchen to boil some noodles. It was only when the bowl was steaming before her that she realized, with a start, that she had prepared them exactly to Xavier Grayson’s specific tastes.
