"When did you learn to cook?" Chloe Bishop asked, her voice softening as the domestic warmth of the meal finally began to thaw the icy silence."Studying abroad," Xavier Grayson replied. His answers remained clipped, but the sharp, glacial edge of his voice had smoothed into something more approachable."Foreign food really doesn't compare to ours," Chloe mused, taking a small bite of the exquisitely seasoned vegetables."Mmhmm."As they chatted, the atmosphere in the dining hall became almost harmonious. It was a surreal irony; they sat together like two strangers on a promising first date rather than a husband and wife whose marriage was a literal battlefield."Are you close with Arthur Vance?" Chloe asked suddenly, her tone shifting toward the serious. "What do you think of him as a man?"Xavier set down his chopsticks and wiped his lips with a linen napkin. Every movement was a masterclass in "Old Money" elegance, as if he were constantly posing for a portrait of high-tier nobilit

By the time Xavier Grayson realized what had happened, the knot of the apron was already secure. He looked down at the bright, cartoonish print against his bespoke trousers, his expression sour enough to curdle milk. "Did you not hear a word I said?"Chloe Bishop looked up at him, her almond-shaped eyes wide and shimmering with a practiced innocence. "I'm just so tired, Xavier," she whispered, her voice soft and fragile. "I don't have the strength to cook tonight."Xavier stared at her, his jaw tightening. He knew she was playing the "pity card." He knew she was likely exaggerating her exhaustion from the morning’s events to avoid chores. Yet, looking at her, the "Demon CEO" found himself rendered speechless.Ten minutes later, Xavier emerged from the kitchen carrying steaming plates of food. He stopped in his tracks at the sight of the living room. Chloe and Liam Jr. were huddled together on the sofa, sharing a bowl of fruit and watching a movie with rapt attention. They looked perfe

This chapter presents a rare juxtaposition: the terrifying "Demon CEO" of the business world finding domestic rhythm in the kitchen, and Chloe Bishop navigating the remnants of her exhaustion with a mask of calm indifference. While Xavier Grayson attempts to punish Chloe with his silence, it is the young Liam Jr. who forces the standoff to its breaking point.Chapter 61: The Master of the BladeThe living room of the Grayson Estate had become a tundra. Xavier Grayson sat at the center of the sofa, a literal mountain of ice, radiating a bone-chilling aura that made the very air feel heavy.Liam Jr. had tried his best to ignore the "Demon CEO," but eventually, the atmospheric pressure became too much for the five-year-old to bear. Fearing for his own safety, the boy retreated to the guest room and began pounding on Chloe’s door. He knocked until his small hands ached, but there was no response from within.Frustrated, Liam Jr. turned back to his father, who was watching with a sour, exp

Xavier Grayson flicked the white pastry away as if it were a piece of common trash. It rolled across the floor, coming to a stop near Chloe Bishop’s feet."You expect to put a lifelong servant under surveillance based on a single piece of cake?" His voice was flat, devoid of the warmth Chloe had hoped to find.Chloe didn't argue. She simply knelt and picked up the pastry, her movements slow and weary. "It is precisely because I cannot find a 'smoking gun' that I must use these methods, Xavier."She remembered the day of the raid. They had stormed the cellar with such confidence, convinced that Martha would crack or that the "Phantom" would be caught in the light. But Xavier’s men had found nothing. Now, Martha moved through the estate with an even greater sense of untouchable immunity."Do you really think that answer carries weight?" Xavier asked.Chloe looked at him, and for a moment, the "Silent Queen" mask slipped. She remembered the suffocating terror of the cellar, the feeling o

After Chloe drained the "milk" and vanished from the dining room, a heavy, frigid silence settled over the table. Xavier Grayson’s eyes remained fixed on her empty chair, his expression unreadable."What is the meaning of that?" Xavier’s voice was like a subterranean chill.Vince the butler stepped forward, bowing his head. "Perhaps the Young Mistress wishes for a child, Master. Moreover, consistent use of such medication is taxing on the body; it disrupts the natural cycles. It is... uncomfortable for a woman."Vince hesitated, then added tentatively, "If the Master truly does not wish for an heir yet, there are other, more traditional methods that do not require the Young Mistress to ingest toxins."Xavier didn't snap at the butler’s boldness. Instead, he pulled out his phone. Vince caught a "glance" at the screen and nearly choked on his own breath. The most powerful man in Haicheng, the man who could dismantle a corporation with a single signature, was currently on a search engine

"It’s time to change the dressing," Xavier Grayson said, his voice dropping into a low, resonant vibration that echoed against the tiled walls of the kitchen.Chloe Bishop’s eyes flickered with confusion. "If you want your bandages changed, go back to the bedroom. This is the kitchen."Why was he here? The medical kit was upstairs. More importantly, why had he locked the door? Chloe sensed the predatory shift in his gaze and immediately tried to sidestep him to leave, but Xavier’s arm shot out like a coil of steel. He caught her by the waist, pulling her flush against his chest. The cold, sharp scent of his cologne filled her lungs."But I’m still hungry," he whispered, his breath ghosting over her lips. "The wontons were... discarded."Chloe’s heart hammered against her ribs as she looked up at the dangerous smirk playing on his lips. "What else do you want to eat? I’ll cook it for you.""What do you think?"Before she could answer, her feet left the floor. Xavier lifted her effortle

Xavier reached out and gripped the edge of the silk duvet, pulling it back with a sharp, decisive motion. He found Chloe Bishop fully dressed in the warm tracksuit Vince had provided, her small frame curled into a protective ball. His eyes narrowed as they swept over her pale features."Chloe. Get

The vibrant bloom that usually defined Chloe Bishop’s youthful face—a natural, healthy radiance—had been utterly extinguished. In its place was a sallow, deathly pallor that made her look more like a marble effigy than a living woman.Old Mrs. Tang leaned back, her sharp eyes softening as she turne

The silence in the Bishop Manor was heavier than any scream. Chloe Bishop hadn't uttered a single syllable since she crossed the threshold. She simply sat on the velvet sofa, her feet bandaged but her eyes fixed on a point in space that no one else could see.Madam Bishop felt her world tilting. Sh
