A Legacy of Guilt

After staying with Liam Jr. until he fell asleep, Xavier Grayson returned to his own room. His mind was a turbulent mess of suppressed memories and growing irritation. He downed glass after glass of wine, yet the dull ache in his chest remained.

The scene of Liam Martin’s death played on a loop in his head—Liam’s bloody hand gripping his, gasping out his final wish: "Take care of Blueberry and our son for me". Following the accident, Xavier had brought them back to Sea City. B

    The DismissalChloe Bishop stood frozen, caught between the urge to flee and the weight of the family’s grief behind her. Sissy’s unrestrained wailing echoed through the hall, a stark contrast to the heavy silence between Chloe and Xavier Grayson. Xavier looked at Vince, his voice carrying its usual edge of cold indifference. "See the guest out."There was nothing left to say. For the first time, neither the Matriarch nor An Lan tried to make her stay. Vince let out a regretful sigh and gestured toward the door. "Miss... Miss Bishop, please."But Chloe couldn't leave yet. It was already Wednesday, and every hour without the racing car was a wasted day of practice. Swallowing her pride, she looked at Xavier. "I have a few words I need to say to you."Xavier walked toward her, his long legs eating up the distance until he stood directly over her, his handsome face a mask of ice. "Wait for me outside."The Hour of NeglectChloe’s wait lasted over an hour. The sun, which had been high whe

    The Breaking PointThe atmosphere in the living room was thick with a hope that Chloe Bishop was about to dismantle. Liam Jr. tugged at her sleeve, his writing pad filled with desperate pleas: he missed her, he wanted her to come home, and he craved the small wontons and noodles she used to cook for him. Old Mrs. Grayson shared that Xavier Grayson had finally kicked Blueberry out the previous night, lamenting that Chloe had been wronged for far too long. An Lan simply sighed, remarking that with Xavier’s stubborn temperament, he was destined to die alone.No one asked Chloe why she was actually there.As the minutes ticked away, Chloe’s anxiety grew. When An Lan stood up to prepare her signature dishes in the kitchen, Chloe knew she had to strike. "Mother, please don't trouble yourself," she said, her voice trembling but firm. "I’m only staying for a moment. I won't be staying for dinner".Returning the PastAvoiding their eyes, Chloe reached into her bag and pulled out the jewelry bo

    The Little Scholar’s ComplaintInside the Grayson estate, the atmosphere was unexpectedly light. Sissy had been studying hard, her small face scrunched in concentration as she mastered new characters. An Lan offered a rare, encouraging smile, while Old Mrs. Grayson beamed with pride."Our Sissy is truly brilliant," the Matriarch said, patting the girl’s hand. "When your brother gets back, you must recite a poem for him."Sissy nodded solemnly. "I remember, Grandma. If I make Brother happy, maybe he’ll finally let me go see my sister-in-law."An Lan tilted her head, a playful glint in her eyes. "And what will you say to her when you see her?"Sissy thought for a moment before standing tall. "I’ll recite a poem for her! In the south of the Yangtze, we can gather lotus. How lush are the lotus leaves! The fish play among the lotus leaves. The fish play to the east, the fish play to the west, the fish play to the south, the fish play to the north..."Beside her, Snowball, the little lapdog

    The Corporate Battle at Bishop GroupAfter his impulsive midnight drive across the city, Xavier Grayson finally parked outside his penthouse and leaned heavily against the steering wheel. The cold dawn light filtered through the windshield, illuminating the ridiculous state he was in.He was still wearing his black silk pajamas.His expression darkened instantly.For a long moment, he stared blankly ahead, unable to believe what he had done. The Xavier Grayson who had always been composed, calculating, and untouchable had actually rushed out of the house in the middle of the night simply because Chloe Bishop had disappeared without a word.It was insane.Worse, he had driven halfway across Sea City looking for her like a jealous husband.A humorless laugh escaped his lips.“I’ve completely lost my mind.”Meanwhile, chaos was unfolding at Bishop Group.The conference hall on the thirty-second floor was filled with tension thick enough to suffocate anyone entering. Senior executives sat

    The False Alarm"Who are you? Put Chloe Bishop on the phone, immediately!"Xavier Grayson sat bolt upright in bed, his mind racing with dark images. "Beards" and "prickly skin"—every word pointed to a man in Chloe’s bed. Now that a second woman had appeared on the line, Xavier’s mind spiraled into a scandalous scenario involving two intoxicated women and a mystery man. As a man—and especially as her ex-husband—he could not sit idly by.On the other end, Lulu let out a drunken hiccup and giggled like a fool. "You’re ordering me around? I won't do it!".Xavier’s temple throbbed with fury. He swung his legs out of bed and rushed out of the bedroom, his voice cold and teeth-gritted. "I told you to give the phone to Chloe, now!".Lulu, completely fearless in her drunken state, chuckled, "Hehe, you’re looking for Chloe? You haven’t even told me who you are"."I am Xavier Grayson!".The "Beard" RevealedDownstairs, the night-shift servants watched in bewilderment as their master stormed out

Following the accident, Xavier had brought them back to Sea City. Blueberry had promised to remain a widow, and in exchange, Xavier had poured the resources of Grayson Media into her, propelling her to A-list stardom. These secrets, carried alone for so long, felt like a weight crushing the air from his lungs.Lying on his sprawling bed after finishing an entire bottle, Xavier felt a sudden, sharp sense of emptiness. Usually, he could reach out and pull Chloe Bishop into his arms; now, his hand only met a cold pillow.The "Arrogant Pig"A sudden ringtone shatte
