LOGINThe family exchanged a few more warm words before the call ended.Xavier Grayson let out a slow breath. Then he felt a pair of arms wrap around his waist.Through the reflection in the window, he saw Chloe Bishop.She rested her head against his back. "I'm feeling a little tired. I'll head home first."Xavier Grayson: "I'll take you. Or let Vincent drive you—I don't feel comfortable with you going alone."Chloe Bishop didn't argue. "Okay."Nadia stepped into the prison.Nicholas Taylor stood outside the glass, watching the woman inside.Nadia approached with red-rimmed eyes. "Nicholas! Help me. Get me out of here.""Get you out? How exactly am I supposed to do that? You've been detained for a month—that's already lenient. Do you really expect me to free you so you can cause more trouble? I think you need to spend some time in here reflecting on yourself."Nicholas Taylor's brows drew together.Nadia was beside herself with grievance. "Nicholas, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you wit
Lady Grayson's lips curled into another smug smile. "Fine, I don't have much else to say anyway. Just tell your father this—this old woman's eyesight is still better than his. I know who's worth keeping and who isn't."Het Grayson said nothing, his expression growing complicated.Lady Grayson didn't linger. She delivered her piece, rose with her attendants, and left without another word.She headed straight to her third son's house.Hiten hurried to welcome her the moment he saw her arrive. "Mom, you should've called ahead. I would've prepared something."She waved a hand and settled onto the sofa. "No need. I'm in a good mood today and just felt like visiting each of my children's homes."Noah overheard and couldn't help but snicker. "Grandma, you're gloating, aren't you? I heard the Grayson Corporation got wrecked by Hank Grayson. And you went over to rub it in, right?"Hiten shot his son a look. "Noah, watch your mouth."Lady Grayson chuckled softly. "It's all right. My little gran
Nora Fatehi's tears spilled over. A thought struck her, and she took his hand. "Once you're out of the hospital, let's pick a date and get married."Caesor held her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. "Say that again."Nora Fatehi: "I said, once you're better and discharged, let's find an auspicious day and get married."Caesor's eyes reddened. This girl finally trusted him, didn't she?A smile tugged at his lips. "Say it again."Nora Fatehi knew he wouldn't let her off easily once he woke up. But she hadn't expected him to act like a child, so delighted by those words that he wanted to hear them over and over."I said let's get married. Will you marry me?"Caesor nodded. "Yes."With both of them awake, Chloe Bishop finally breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced over at Anna."Now that they're both conscious, how are they doing?"Anna pulled out her notepad. "Miss Gwen Grayson is in good shape—a few months of rest and she'll fully recover. But that other guy..." She paused. "He's going
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
“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
Looking into Chloe’s bloodshot eyes, Liam withdrew his probing gaze. He lowered his eyelids, remaining silent and detached, his long lashes veiling whatever emotions stirred beneath.Chloe had always adored Liam’s physical perfection. Even now, standing there in the dim light, he looked like a flaw
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
