But a single question nagged at the back of her mind: If Xavier truly wanted to cannibalize the Bishop Group, why marry me? By making her his wife, he was technically merging his interests with hers. It felt counter-intuitive for a predator to marry his prey.Chloe turned on the faucet and splashed cold water over her face, forcing herself to focus. She couldn't crumble now. She had to wait for Aria Summer’s report from the States.When she stepped out of the bathroom, Xavier and Liam Jr. were already dressed and ready. Xavier’s sword-like brows knit together as he surveyed her. "Uncomfortable?"She had been in the bathroom for far too long, and her complexion was ghost-white."No," Chloe lied, avoiding his piercing gaze. "My foot just fell asleep."Xavier didn't press her. He scooped up Liam Jr. and gestured toward the nightstand with a voice that brooked no argument. "Drink that glass of milk on the table."With that, he carried the boy downstairs.Chloe stared at the white liquid,

In the early morning, Chloe woke up in Xavier’s embrace to the vibration of her phone. It was a call from Liam Vance.Remembering the chilling words Julian Grayson had whispered to her the night before, Chloe’s expression flickered. She cautiously moved Xavier’s heavy arm from her waist, slipped out of bed, and retreated into the bathroom, locking the door behind her.“Liam, did you find something?” she whispered urgently.Liam’s voice came through the receiver, heavy and somber. “The driver’s superior has been identified.”Chloe’s grip on the phone tightened until her knuckles turned white. “Who is it?”“Xavier Grayson.”The name hit Chloe like a physical blow, a thousand pounds of weight crushing the breath from her lungs. “Are you certain?”“I have a video. See for yourself.” Liam sent the file through and continued, “Nathaniel Webb has been with the Grayson Group since the era of Xavier’s Father. After the father went to prison, he followed the uncle, Arthur Sr., and when Arthur S

"Is something wrong? Does this man have a history?" Liam Vance asked over the phone, his voice laced with concern.Chloe clenched her fists so hard her nails bit into her palms. Her heart felt as though an iron hand were squeezing the life out of it. "I can’t be sure yet, Liam. Please, I’m counting on you. This is everything to me."Liam didn't push for details. He knew Chloe well enough to recognize the edge of desperation in her voice. "Understood. I’ll start the investigation immediately."As soon as she hung up, Chloe dialed Sarah Vance and Aria Summer. Sarah had the digital prowess to dig into Xavier’s domestic travel logs, while Aria’s connections in the States could verify his movements in that small town near Sara Jay.By the time she finished the calls, Chloe felt physically ill. The accusations had come without warning—a heavy blow to the solar plexus that left her gasping. She wanted with every fiber of her being for Julian to be a liar. She wanted to believe in the man she

Julian Grayson, the eldest grandson of the Grayson line, stood impeccably groomed in his tailored suit. He exuded an air of maturity and stability—a direct contrast to the chaotic "Demon CEO" energy of his cousin.He nodded slowly and handed Chloe a thick file. "This might be useful to you."Chloe took the documents, her eyes scanning the pages. With every sentence she read, the blood drained from her face. "No... this is impossible. Xavier would never do this."The documents detailed a systematic plan by Xavier Grayson to cannibalize the Bishop Group."Why would he?" Chloe’s voice trembled. "The company’s books are meticulously managed. Even if he wanted to siphon funds without being detected, how much could he really take? Tens of millions? A few hundred million? Xavier doesn't care about that kind of money."Julian leaned against the mahogany railing, crossing his arms. "I think you underestimate him. He might not care about the money itself, but he is addicted to the thrill of the

Old Mrs. Grayson sighed softly, her voice low and intimate. "Your grandfather is old; he’s prone to confusion. If he calls Xavier a 'little animal,' does that not make himself the 'old animal'?"Chloe couldn't help but let out a small laugh at the matriarch’s bluntness."There," the Old lady said, patting her hand. "A smile is better. What grudge can’t be overcome with a little laughter? Stay here, I’ll get some ointment for you."Chloe watched her walk away, admiring her resilience. She had heard rumors about the Grayson family's fractured history. She understood why Old Master Grayson might resent Xavier—Xavier’s ruthlessness was legendary—but she wondered if there were deeper secrets hidden beneath the surface.When the Old lady returned, she carefully applied a cooling balm to Chloe’s swelling hand."Grandmother," Chloe asked softly, "tell me about Xavier. I want to understand him."The Old lady offered a wistful smile. "What is there to say? He’s been brilliant since he was a chi

Old Master Grayson shook with a rage that bordered on convulsive, his finger trembling as he pointed at Xavier. "Get out! You curse, get out of this mansion immediately!"The Old Master’s hatred was rooted in a bloody family history. He had three sons. The eldest, Arthur Sr., had been sent to prison by Xavier on charges of embezzlement. The second, Xavier’s own father, had spiraled into a murderous insanity following the betrayal of An Lan.The Old Master loathed the mother and son who had dismantled his lineage. To his eternal agony, the power of the Grayson empire had fallen into the hands of the grandson he detested most. The shock of Xavier’s hostile takeover had paralyzed the Old Master, leaving him confined to a wheelchair.Chloe was shaken by the sheer violence in the room, but Xavier remained eerily calm. He reached down to comfort Liam Jr., who was trembling in his lap, and looked at his grandfather with a terrifying, hollow indifference.Suddenly, Old Mrs. Grayson slammed he

Every movement Chloe Bishop and Liam Jr. made was currently being broadcast live onto Xavier Grayson’s high-definition office monitor. As his cold gaze fell upon the sight of Chloe sitting on the hardwood floor, leaning against the sofa and buried in her studies, his expression darkened into a mask

Chloe stood there in a daze, seriously questioning if her brain was functioning at full capacity.In the modern business world, any entrepreneur becomes hyper-sensitive at the mere mention of "land." They think of value, development, and appreciation. But to her? The word "land" had been nothing mo

The air at the banquet table crackled with a different kind of electricity—the friction of familial shame. Silas tried to deflect his mother’s fixated matchmaking with a playful scoff. "Exactly, Mom. Stop making it sound like Tiffany is some clearance item no one wants."But Aunt Sarah was undeterr

What was Xavier hinting at?The realization washed over Chloe like a sudden wave of warmth. Her intuition had been right all along—the "eviction" wasn't a final goodbye; it was a brutal, cold-blooded lesson. He had wanted to break her pride, to make her remember who held the reins, and to ensure sh
