The master bedroom in the Bishop Manor was a landscape of elegant mahogany and silk, but for Chloe Bishop, it felt like a cage of high-stakes social duty. She watched Xavier Grayson as he remained silent, his profile as sharp and cold as carved obsidian.

"You mentioned a car accident on your way here," Chloe said, her voice carefully neutral as she tried to bridge the icy gap between them. "If you suspect it was intentional, it isn't safe to leave tonight. Stay here. At least for the night."

    The political and emotional landscape of Haicheng is shifting from cold-blooded corporate maneuvers to a deadly, shadow-bound vendetta. While Chloe Bishop focuses on surviving the final hours before her divorce, Ann Lan has officially crossed the point of no return in her war against Xavier Sr.Ann Lan stood in the shadows of the hallway, her fingers trembling as she dialed a number she had memorized years ago. "Aaron, kill him. You have to kill him for me. Everything in my overseas accounts... I’ll give it all to you. Just kill him."On a windswept rooftop across the city, Aaron He stood with a heavy expression. "Madam, it isn't that I don't want to finish this. But right now, there is no opening. My wrist is still injured from the last attempt. If I fail this time, my identity will be exposed. Wait. You must be patient."Ann Lan closed her eyes, a sharp pain lancing through her chest. "But I can't wait another second. If you can't do it, I’ll find someone else.""Madam, you just reu

    The atmosphere in the Grayson Manor was colder than the midnight air outside. While Chloe Bishop was finding a temporary, bittersweet solace with Donovan Tang, Xavier Grayson was returning to a home that felt more like a tomb of buried secrets and ancient resentments."Son, you’re finally home."Xavier returned very late. The Old Mrs. and the rest of the household had already retired for the night. Only Ann Lan stood in the foyer to meet him, her elegant, sophisticated face wearing a soft, practiced smile. "I’ve brewed some soup; it’s still warm. Let me bring you a bowl?"Xavier didn't even look at her. He strode past her with a clinical indifference, his voice devoid of any warmth. "I told you to leave. Why are you still here?"Ann Lan quickly masked the dimming light in her eyes. She followed him, her voice light. "Don't drive me away just yet. Let me stay for a few more days, and I’ll leave on my own."She followed him up the stairs, but Xavier blocked her at the threshold of the m

    The air of Haicheng felt heavier after the confrontation in the garage. Chloe Bishop stood outside the restaurant, the chill of the night seeping into her bones as she watched the luxury cars pass by. Her heart was still reeling from the finality of Xavier Grayson’s "Monday at 8:00 AM" ultimatum, but the reality of her current situation forced her back to the present.Leo Thorne stood in the sterile white hallway of the hospital, staring at his phone in utter disbelief. He couldn't wrap his head around what was going on in Xavier’s mind."I don't get it. What the hell is he waiting for?" Leo muttered to the empty air.Xavier had answered his frantic question with only three cold words: "Suit yourself." Then, the line had gone dead.Originally, Xavier had intended to use the news of Liam Martin’s surgery as a bargaining chip—a hook to pull Chloe back to him, to make her plead for his help. But after the elevator confrontation, the desire for such games had evaporated. The pride of the

    The cold, metallic scent of the elevator car seemed to crystallize as the final remnants of the Grayson-Bishop marriage shattered. Xavier Grayson had entered this space fueled by a primal rage, convinced that Chloe Bishop was the one who had repeatedly crossed the line, but her calm, transactional surrender had left him with a hollow, bitter victory.Xavier’s chest burned with a familiar, dark frustration. He had warned her—repeatedly—not to play games behind his back. She had chosen to believe Julian Grayson, investigating him like a common criminal. She had hidden the truth about Sissy, dragging Old Mrs. Grayson into a mess that could have permanently fractured the family's fragile peace. If Sissy hadn't been his father’s flesh and blood, the disappointment would have destroyed the Matriarch.Did she not deserve to be punished?But as he listened to Chloe’s apology—her admission that she had "meddled" and her vow never to do so again—Xavier felt an inexplicable surge of agitation.

    The atmosphere in the narrow corridor shifted from refined elegance to a suffocating pressure cooker. Chloe Bishop had thought she was safe under the public eye of the restaurant, but she had severely underestimated the "Demon CEO's" patience—and his memory.Chloe had finished her meal and slipped away to the restroom, planning to head to the hospital afterward. She needed to check on Tom Wei and then brave a visit to Liam Martin to hear the results of Julian Thorne’s examination. She figured if she stayed away until late, she would avoid another run-in with Xavier Grayson.Just one more day, she told herself. By Monday, I can finally cut these chains.However, as she stepped out of the restroom, her heart plummeted. Xavier was standing in the hallway, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. His gaze was sharp, like a hawk that had finally cornered its prey.Chloe’s first instinct was to bolt, but she hadn't taken three steps before a powerful hand gripped her arm. In one flui
