Gwen Grayson's cough made Chloe Bishop whip her head around. She grabbed Gwen Grayson's hand, her eyes full of hope. "Gwen!"

Gwen Grayson's face was pale, and every cough seemed to bring her pain. She wrinkled her nose, opened her eyes, and saw Chloe Bishop.

Immediately, she began to sob softly. "Chloe... I was so scared..."

Chloe Bishop knew all too well how frightened this silly girl must have been—those were real bullets, after all. She wrapped her arms around Gwen Grayson's hand. "Don't be

    Tim realized she had just woken up and probably wasn't ready to discuss something so serious. So he changed the subject. "Alright."—At the hospital, Chloe Bishop sat with Xavier Grayson after he had his wound re-bandaged. The two of them rested on a bench outside.Just then, Finch hurried in through the entrance. "Young Lord Grayson, we've received word—the Grayson Family is planning to sell the company."Xavier Grayson leaned against the wall and glanced at him. "Buy it at the lowest possible price. If I'm not mistaken, they probably only have a few tens of millions left. Use a third-party identity and acquire the company at rock-bottom. Also, lock down all surrounding conglomerates."Finch nodded in acknowledgment—he understood the plan perfectly.After he rushed off, Chloe Bishop looked at Xavier Grayson. "Are you really going to wipe out the Grayson Corporation?""Exactly. A son's debt is the father's responsibility. Since the Grayson Family can't come up with two hundred millio

    Lord Grayson had pulled Tim aside.They'd talked at length about Gwen Grayson, and in the end, Tim had firmly promised that he would never let her down.Lord Grayson hadn't pressed further.Young people, after all, should love boldly and fearlessly.But betting your life on it—that was something else entirely. It was heartbreaking.Gwen Grayson called her family. Her mother picked up quickly."Gwen Grayson! You reckless girl—you're finally awake."Gwen Grayson smiled wryly. "Mom, don't cry. I'm fine now.""You actually remembered to call us? Do you have any idea how your father and I felt seeing you lying there on that bed, barely hanging on? Your father didn't even want to talk to you when I mentioned calling."Gwen Grayson immediately begged for mercy. "Mom, I'm sorry. I really didn't think it through back then. But look at me now—I'm full of energy, right? It's okay.""How's your body now? Is Tim taking care of you?"A happy smile spread across Gwen Grayson's face. "Yeah, Mom. Tim'

    Hiten was deeply drawn to this offer.Ten percent of Eagle Enterprises's shares—that was worth more than the Grayson Family's shares combined!He never expected Xavier Grayson to be willing to bring them along.He felt genuinely moved."That does make it tempting."Xavier Grayson: "I never planned to abandon your family anyway. I was originally going to wait until they sold off the Grayson Corporation before reaching out. I just didn't expect Het Grayson to come borrowing money from you. He's quite the big brother, isn't he?"Noah, listening nearby, was already excited. Eagle Enterprises's standing versus the Grayson Family's—if he could ride with his second brother, their family would never have to worry about money again.Hiten was even more thrilled than his son. "Alright. I understand. I won't help my big brother."Xavier Grayson's voice remained gentle and humble. "Good. I'll get back to work now."With that, he hung up.Hiten set down the phone, his brow slightly furrowed."Xavi

    Het Grayson's voice grew heavy. "I..."But before he could finish, Isabella snatched the phone away from him."Alright, alright, enough talk. Just transfer the money over already—otherwise, the Grayson Family is as good as done."Het Grayson hung up.Hiten stared at the phone in confusion. "What does that mean?"Noah straightened up. "Could it be about that Nicholas Taylor situation? Wasn't it all exposed? Nadia and Hank Grayson conspired together to transfer company assets under their accounts."Hiten nodded in understanding. "That makes sense. They do owe the Taylor family over a hundred million. Now that your big brother's in jail, they're naturally coming to collect."Noah shrugged helplessly. "He brought it on himself. If he'd been a little more aboveboard, he wouldn't be in this much debt. And he still tried to go against Xavier, pinning everything on him. Too bad—evil may triumph for a while, but justice always prevails. The evidence Xavier put out was even more explosive."See

    Isabella gave him a light pinch. "Why did you drag me out here? You didn't even discuss with Father where we're supposed to get the money. If we sell the company, the Grayson Family is finished."Het Grayson paced anxiously outside the door, circling twice."Do you think I don't know that? But how are we supposed to come up with two hundred million? We might have a few tens of millions at most—we're still far from the target."Isabella crossed her arms and thought for a moment. "What about Hiten? Your third brother? He must have something saved up. He's always stayed neutral and played it smart—Xavier definitely won't touch him. Asking him to lend us a hundred or two hundred million should be like pocket change to him, right?"Het Grayson shot her a glare. "Do you think everyone lives off the family fortune like we do? How could Third Brother possibly have that much money? Still, I can ask."He pulled out his phone and called Hiten.Hiten hadn't expected his eldest brother to call him

    "Very well. I'll give the Lord three days to pay me back—principal and interest included. The Taylor family is not to be trifled with. We don't lend money out of goodwill, and your grandson and I are hardly close. Don't blame me if lawyers show up at your door after three days."With that, he turned and left with his people.Christ, seeing him go, had no reason to stay either.He tapped the documents on the table. "I'll give you three days too. I'm working for Xavier now—lawyers and legal representatives will be at your door in three days. Do what you must."This time, Christ was riding on someone else's coattails. He curled his lips into a smug smile that made Isabella grind her teeth."Go! All of you, get out! Coming to our home to collect debts!"Christ left without another word. For the sake of self-preservation, it was best to get out while he could.After the two debt collectors had gone, Lord Grayson coughed twice and collapsed backward.Het Grayson cried out, "Father!"Lord Gr

    Outside the Operating Room.Chloe sat on a plastic chair, still wearing her million-dollar designer wedding dress. She was trembling, sitting as still as a lifeless mannequin. The dress, once pure and white, was now stained with dark, wet patches of blood. Against the crimson stains, her skin looke

    Chloe pinched the tiny scrap of black lace between her fingers, her expression filled with pure skepticism. "Are you serious? Is this even wearable?"Wouldn't just pinning him down be faster and more efficient? she thought.Bella rolled her eyes at Chloe’s lack of romantic vision. "What do you know

    “Have you found out who did this yet?”Liam Martin’s usually handsome, refined face was currently shrouded in a dark, suffocating shadow. He looked cold and lethal—the literal personification of the calm before a devastating storm.At twenty-four, Liam had spent the last six years clawing his way t

    “Where am I?”Chloe Bishop bolted upright, her head spinning with a sickening heaviness. The room was cold, sterile, and completely unfamiliar. She scrambled to get out of bed, her heart hammering against her ribs. She couldn't be here. Tomorrow was her wedding day—the day she would finally marry L
