Game Over, Mr. CEO: Your Wife Is Done Chapter 145
Only then did Winter realize why she hadn’t seen anyone from the Davis family all day.And of the two families those men had mentioned, the Davises and the Zellers, the two people she knew best just happened to be the most prominent sons of each family.The three families had always managed to keep the peace. The Davises, especially, had long maintained a close partnership with the Xanders.But now no one from the Davis family had shown up to this event. In fact, they had become business rivals of the Xanders.Could it be Zac?Winter frowned slightly.A large stage had been set up in the courtyard of the senior care center for the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and the host was speaking onstage.Winter pushed the thought aside. Out of habit, she put on her mask, stood in front of the camera with the stage behind her, lifted her microphone, and began her report.Then, to her surprise, she spotted an elderly woman not far away being helped into a seat.Mrs. Xander Sr. was here too.E

If Steve really was working with Fabian, the implications were unthinkable.Winter didn’t even want to imagine something like that happening with someone she had grown up with.But right now, she couldn’t let a single hint show on her face. She definitely couldn’t let anyone else notice either. If she tipped them off now, it would only make things harder for Chris to investigate.The rot inside the Xander family had to be cut out.Winter looked at him with clear interest. “Oh? And how exactly are you planning to help me, Mr. Steve?”Calling him Mr. Steve instead of Mr. Xander made his position in the company very clear. In the Xander Corporation, he stood below Chris.In terms of money and influence, he was below him too.But all at once, Winter remembered the auction at Windham Gardens that night. Back then, when Chris had bid a hundred million for that sapphire brooch, Steve had told her he could match it, even at that price.She believed Steve had money. Coming up with a hun

Normally, Winter was measured and careful. She had never acted on impulse like that before.Seeing that Roy had neither snapped at her nor stormed off, and was only sitting there on the couch with his head lowered, quietly putting his glove back on, Winter felt a stab of guilt.She crouched down in front of him and pressed her palms together. “I’m sorry, Roy. I...”Roy fastened the magnetic clasp on his glove, then lowered his eyes to look at Winter crouching in front of him, her face full of apology, so ashamed she looked like she wanted to disappear. Something in his gaze darkened. He pulled out his phone.“Why?”Roy held the phone out to her.So her excuse about her hand slipping really had been terrible. He hadn’t believed it for a second.Winter thought it over, but there was no way she could admit that she had suspected he was Gavin. In the end, she could only force herself to say, “I was curious.”Roy fell silent for a few seconds, then typed two words into his phone.“

At the sound of her footsteps, Roy slowly turned away from the window. Beneath the lowered brim of his baseball cap, only a pair of dark brown eyes were visible.He gave Winter a slight nod.She snapped out of it, walked over, and asked casually, “It’s so warm in here. Don’t you get hot wearing a cap and gloves?”After seeing him a few times, she had realized that even though Roy was a little cold, he was actually pretty easy to get along with. Without even noticing it, she had started speaking to him much more casually.Roy lowered his eyes and glanced at the black gloves on his hands, then took out his phone and typed a reply.“It doesn’t bother me.”Even without a voice, the words still felt cool and distant.Winter smiled. “Okay, good.”After setting down her water bottle, she began stretching and warming up.Roy stood off to the side with his arms crossed, watching her calm and impassive as she bounced and stretched all over the place.But Winter’s mind was racing.She

Gavin nodded. “Whoever did it covered their tracks well, so it’s been hard to trace.”He had started looking into it the moment the brooch appeared at the auction, but after all these days, he had only just managed to uncover a small lead.“Do you think Fabian Kane might be involved?”Fabian had the strongest influence in the border region. But if this really was connected to Fabian, how had the brooch ended up in his hands?Chris closed his hand around the brooch, thinking back to what Winter had said about someone in the Xander family working with Fabian Kane.“Someone in the Xander family gave it to him.”Putting the brooch up for auction had been a deliberate provocation, an opening move.And there were not many people in the Xander family who would think to do something like that.Chris set the brooch back in its wooden box and ran his thumb across the bottom a few times.Then he got to his feet, walked behind his desk, placed the box in a drawer, and opened a file lying

After Winter finished speaking, the dim locker room went so quiet it felt as if the only sound left was her own breathing.Even the voices that had been drifting in from the hallway seemed to vanish. It was as if the entire corridor had been cleared out in an instant.Maybe only a few seconds passed. Maybe it was several minutes. Time stretched until it felt endless.“Move. I’m going home.”Winter reached for the doorknob, but Chris caught her hand and pinned it against the door. The thin calluses on his fingertips scraped across her soft skin.She felt his broad shoulder press in toward her and instinctively lifted her hand to push him away.But Chris turned and pinned her against the door instead. In the dim light, his dark eyes looked almost frightening.“This ends here. This is not something you get to touch.”Even in the dim light, her clear eyes shone with fierce resolve.“So many people work every day to keep this world safe. Some of them even give their lives for it. I
