Reborn Of The CEO’s Cold-Hearted Wife Chapter 164: Fault Lines.
Xavier walked Lilith down the corridor himself, his hand resting lightly at the small of her back as though she might collapse if he let go. The mansion was quiet, the kind of silence that followed chaos rather than peace. Lilith’s steps were slow, deliberate, her shoulders slightly hunched, every movement carefully crafted to look fragile without appearing rehearsed. When they reached her room, Xavier stopped at the door, his expression still tight, still strained, though the anger from earlier had dulled into something far more dangerous…uncertainty.“You don’t have to worry anymore,” he said gently, opening the door for her. “I’ll take care of Billy. I’ll make sure he doesn’t come near you again.”Lilith turned to him immediately, eyes widening as if alarmed by the very idea. “No,” she said quickly, shaking her head. “Xavier, no. This is my problem. You shouldn’t get involved. Billy is dangerous. You don’t know what he’s capable of, and I don’t want you getting hurt because of m

Lilith shook her head almost immediately, the denial coming too fast, too clean. “I don’t know who Billy is,” she said, her voice steady enough that someone who didn’t know her would have believed it.Xavier scoffed, the sound sharp and full of disbelief. From the staircase above, Aurora lifted a brow slowly, her expression caught somewhere between disbelief and dark amusement. Even she, watching from a distance, could see how poorly that lie was stitched together. Still, she said nothing. She leaned slightly against the banister, content to observe, eyes sharp and mind alert.“Then who was the man at the restaurant?” Xavier asked, his voice dangerously calm.Lilith crossed her arms as if offended by the question. “I already told you. I don’t know him.”“Oh yeah?” Xavier said, taking a step forward. “Then tell me…what exactly have you been working on in the lab for the past week?”Lilith blinked, clearly thrown off by the sudden shift. “What is going on?” she asked, irritation seepin

Aurora turned around slowly, the movement deliberate, controlled, even though her heart had already begun to hammer against her ribs. The air between them shifted, thickening with something sharp and electric, the kind of tension that warned of damage long before the blow ever landed. Her eyes locked onto Lilith’s face, onto that familiar smile that never quite reached her eyes, and she heard her own voice come out steadier than she felt.“What did you just say?”Lilith didn’t hesitate. She didn’t falter. If anything, the question seemed to amuse her. The smirk curved her lips upward with practiced ease, her posture relaxed, almost indulgent, as though this confrontation was nothing more than a pleasant diversion in an otherwise tedious day. She tilted her head slightly, studying Aurora the way one might study a reflection that annoyed them simply by existing.“You heard me well,” Lilith said smoothly. “Billy. I believe you have met him before.”The name landed like a weight in Aur

Xavier stared at the documents in Professor Adrian Holloway’s hands as though they might rearrange themselves into something less damning if he looked hard enough. His jaw tightened, a slow tension building in his shoulders as he exhaled through his nose and shook his head once, deliberately, as if physically rejecting what he was being told.“What do you mean?” he asked, his voice controlled but strained beneath the restraint. “That’s not possible. You have to be mistaken.”Professor Holloway did not look up at him immediately. His attention remained fixed on the papers, his fingers flipping through the pages again, slower this time, more deliberate, as though he were confirming something he already knew to be true. When he finally spoke, his tone was firm, stripped of hesitation.“I’m not mistaken, sir,” Holloway said quietly. “Not at all.”Xavier took a step closer, his frustration sharpening. “You’re telling me —” He stopped himself, jaw flexing, then spoke again, “—you’re tellin

Xavier sat alone in his office long after the meeting had ended, the skyline beyond the glass walls dimming as the afternoon slipped toward evening. He hadn’t moved from the chair behind his desk, not when the last executive excused himself, not when Ms. Collins quietly peeked in to ask if he needed anything. He waved her away without looking up. His attention was fixed on his phone, resting face down against the polished wood, as though it might vibrate again if he stared at it long enough.It did.The ping was sharp in the quiet room, the sound amplified by his nerves. A message notification flashed across the screen from the number he had just called minutes earlier. Xavier reached for the phone, his fingers already tightening around it, when it rang instead. He frowned slightly and answered without greeting.“Talk to me,” he said.The voice on the other end hesitated, then sighed. “Xav, I’ve got the footage. Clean angles. Multiple cameras. But there’s no audio.”Xavier leaned back

Xavier’s voice came from behind her.“Who was that?”Lilith froze.Not visibly. Not dramatically. But something inside her seized hard enough that for half a second, her lungs forgot what they were supposed to do.She did not turn immediately.She inhaled first,slow and measured,then turned around with what she hoped passed for surprise rather than panic.“Xavier?” she said. “What are you doing here?”He stood a few steps away, jacket still on, phone in his hand like he had just lowered it mid-call. His expression wasn’t angry. That would’ve been easier. Anger was loud, obvious. This was something quieter. Watchful. Careful. The kind of look a man wore when he was putting pieces together and didn’t yet like the picture forming.“That’s not what I asked,” he said evenly. “Who was the man you were talking to?”Her heart thudded once. Hard.Lilith blinked, brows knitting together as if she were genuinely trying to remember.“I… don’t know,” she said. “He asked me something. I think he th
