One Night with the Cold CEO 70
Inside the bedroom, Adrian warned his little sister with an expressionless face, "I'm telling you, drop your little scheme with Uncle Xavier. He is not going to be our daddy.""I won't! I'm telling you, Brother, Uncle Xavier is definitely going to become our daddy!" Sara shot back, completely confident in her stance.She could tell that Uncle Xavier liked Mommy, and Mommy liked Uncle Xavier back."..."Adrian stared at his sister in total speechlessness. It was clear he wasn't going to change her mind today, but as long as he was around, he was going to thoroughly vet anyone who tried to get close to their mother.Inside the Grayson Corporation headquarters, Chloe Bishop pushed the office door open as usual, setting a stack of processed documents on the side of the desk.Xavier Grayson was about to let her leave with his usual silence, but when his eyes landed on her bare neckline, he couldn't help asking, "Why aren't you wearing yesterday's necklace?""Mr. Grayson, that necklace hold

The moment he stepped out, his eyes caught the shoes in the entryway—not just his mother's, but also a pair of men's leather shoes. Seeing his little sister glued to his mother's side, he instantly put two and two together: that uncle was definitely in their home."Mommy, the late-night snack is in the kitchen. You can reheat it before you eat," Adrian said calmly, keeping his composure entirely intact."Okay, I'll grab it right now. Take good care of your sister."By the time Xavier Grayson stepped out of the bathroom, the only two left in the living room were the little ones. Ignoring her brother's presence, Sara threw herself straight into Xavier's arms once more.The man caught the child with a gentle smile. Adrian felt a massive headache coming on, looking at his little sister in absolute speechlessness.What on earth was so great about this guy anyway?"You're Uncle Xavier, right?" he suddenly addressed Xavier.At the sound of his voice, Xavier locked eyes with Adrian. The stand

Along the midnight roads of Vegas, the dark Rolls-Royce glided smoothly through the night.Xavier Grayson handed a velvet box over to Chloe Bishop, which she took almost purely on instinct."Open it.""Huh?"She stared blankly at him before carefully prying the lid open. Resting inside was a stunning ruby necklace—the exact piece from the auction earlier."It's yours," he offered, his voice perfectly even.Chloe Bishop froze, her eyes glued to the necklace as an overwhelming storm of emotions surged in her chest. This piece was her mother's last legacy. A sudden sting hit her nose, and it took every ounce of her willpower to keep her composure from crumbling on the spot.Yet Xavier Grayson's sudden gift left her utterly confused. "Mr. Grayson... why are you giving this to me?"Xavier Grayson turned his gaze out the window, his sharp, handsome profile looking impossibly sculpted in the dark cabin. "I only bid on it for charity. It serves no purpose to me, so you might as well take it."

In the very front row below the stage."Mr. Grayson, why did you bid on this necklace?" Chloe Bishop asked, thoroughly dazed.She wasn't so self-absorbed as to think Xavier Grayson had bought it for her sake. After all, he had no idea about the personal history tied to this piece.Xavier Grayson replied coolly, "No particular reason. It caught my eye, so I bought it."So that was why... Rich people really were casually lavish.Chloe Bishop opened her mouth to say more, but after pursing her lips, she ultimately chose to stay silent.The auction proceeded smoothly, and Xavier Grayson later threw down another high bid to secure a painting his father had been eyeing.With that, the auction officially wrapped up."I'm going to the restroom.""I'll wait for you right here, Mr. Grayson." As his secretary, it was hardly appropriate for her to hover outside the men's room.Xavier Grayson gave a brief nod and walked straight toward the restroom.When he stepped back out, a figure was standing

Tony Stark raised his paddle. "One million dollars."She knew he would buy it.The moment Tony Stark made his offer, he instantly doubled the starting price. Most people in their social circle were well aware of the deep history between him and Rachel, so naturally, no one was foolish enough to enter a bidding war against him.Unable to contain the bitter ache swelling in her chest, Ruby raised her paddle on sheer impulse."Two million!"Hearing Ruby’s voice, Tony Stark’s brow furrowed slightly.He understood her mindset all too well. She wasn't actually trying to win the bracelet; she was simply acting out of spite, picking a petty fight with him."Two point five million.""Three million!""Three point five million.""Four million!""Five million."The price escalated rapidly as the two went back and forth in relentless succession.Tony Stark saw Ruby firing off bid after bid, yet he showed zero intention of backing down.Were the two of them really doing this right now?Watching the

"Your friend is quite something," Xavier Grayson remarked approvingly.He seemed to pick up on the dynamic between Ruby and Tony Stark, choosing to observe silently rather than state the obvious. If Ruby hadn't stepped up back there, he certainly would have intervened on Chloe Bishop's behalf himself.A beautiful piano melody drifted gently through the air.As dinner drew to a close, the lights suddenly dimmed. The sweeping rhythm of a waltz began to play. Invited by Liam Martin, Kate Bishop glided into the center of the dance floor on his arm. She looked sweet and bashful in her pure white dress, dancing with graceful poise while he gazed down at her with a gentle, enveloping warmth that felt completely spellbinding.The two seemed utterly lost in their own sweet world—a picture-perfect match.Watching from her seat, Chloe Bishop felt a sudden wave of melancholy. Regardless of what had once existed between them, she was an outsider now, left to watch from afar as others paraded their
