Serena pointed at the phone on his side of the bed, the screen flashing repeatedly. “Young master, that’s your phone.”

His frown deepened. He turned his head, grabbed the phone, and glanced at it. His expression darkened.

Then, he answered the call. “What happened?!”

“Boss! Quick, check the current trending news! The task you gave me—there’s finally a result!” Falcon shouted excitedly through the phone.

Xavier frowned slightly. “You disturbed me this early just because of that?!”

“Didn’t you tell me to notify you immediately no matter what time it is once there’s news?!” Falcon glanced at his watch. “Besides, it’s almost 8AM already. That’s not early at all!”

“If I say it’s early, it is early.”

That domineering tone left no room for argument.

Falcon pulled a face, deeply feeling t

  • The Art of Revenge   Delusional

    After finishing his speech, Xavier immediately looked toward Serena.Just moments ago, she had been smiling sweetly at him, but now she sat deep in thought, eyes fixed on the floor, as if lost in another world.He gave a few brief instructions to the staff, then stepped down from the stage and walked toward her.“Serena, what are you thinking about?”Serena was startled out of her thoughts. She quickly looked up. “N-nothing! Are you done with your speech?”“You didn’t even notice I finished? And you’re saying you weren’t thinking about anything?”Though he was questioning her, his face still wore a smile, and there wasn’t a trace of blame in his eyes.Serena chuckled awkwardly. “Really, it’s nothing. I just ran into someone I know.”“Someone you know?” Xavier raised his head and looked around. “Who? Anyone you know, I basically know

  • The Art of Revenge   Old Acquaintance

    The air in Serena’s lungs was instantly stolen, and her brain seemed to be deprived of oxygen.There was no time to think, no time to weigh her options—under his gentle push, she stumbled into the room.With a flick of his foot, the door closed behind them.He wrapped his arm around her slender waist, kissing her soft lips as they made their way toward the bedroom.As they collapsed onto the bed, Xavier murmured with deep affection, “Serena, you were wronged today. God knows, the moment I heard that Karina bullied you, how much I wanted to drop everything and run to your side to hold you tight.”Serena finally got a chance to breathe. She tilted her head, panting heavily.“I… I didn’t feel… like I was wronged! Someone like Karina… I’d never take her seriously! She’s not worth it!”“Whether she’s worth it or not is one thing. But I can't tolerate her

  • The Art of Revenge   No Cure

    Back in her room, the moment the door closed, Karina couldn’t hold it in any longer.Leaning against the door, she screamed at the top of her lungs to vent her fury.She only stopped when her throat began to hurt.Lifting her head, she glared in the direction of Serena’s room above and growled viciously, “Serena Knowles, how dare you humiliate me like this—I won’t let you get away with it! Just you wait!”Outside the presidential suite on the 36th floor.After Karina left, Xavier waved his hand and said to Brody, “Keep all the footage from today safe. It might come in handy later.”Brody asked in confusion, “Sir, didn’t Miss Knowles promise just now that the videos wouldn’t be made public? If that’s the case, what use would they be?”With a slight frown, Xavier’s lips curled coldly, “When did you become so talkative?”Brody’s f

  • The Art of Revenge   A Slap

    Clenching her teeth so hard it felt like they might break, Karina finally looked up, forcing a smile in Serena’s direction.“M-Miss Knowles…” Each word was painfully difficult to say. “It was my fault! I shouldn't have disturbed your rest or spoken so rudely to you. I… sincerely apologize and hope… you can forgive me.”Serena nodded with satisfaction. “Mhm! Now that’s more like it.”Karina secretly let out a breath of relief.But in the next second, she heard Serena say, “What if I don’t forgive you? After all, your insults earlier were truly vile. Even after washing my ears several times, they still feel dirty!”“...” This time, Karina was on the verge of exploding!She felt her tolerance being pushed to the absolute limit.She was clenching her fists so hard that her nails were nearly digging into the flesh of her palms.But in

  • The Art of Revenge   Bitter Enemies

    The man first gave her a thorough once-over, and after confirming she was fine, he offered a polite, businesslike smile and replied, “Miss Knowles, I brought Miss Carter here to apologize to you.”“Apologize?!”Serena was genuinely surprised and turned her gaze to Karina.At this moment, Karina was standing stiffly, her face stern and brows furrowed, looking arrogant and domineering—nowhere near an apologetic attitude.Originally, Serena didn’t need or even care about her apology.But Karina’s haughty posture really rubbed her the wrong way.So she crossed her arms, raised a brow, and with a sweet yet sarcastic smile, said, “Sir, look at Miss Carter! Does she look like someone here to apologize? Someone who didn’t know better might think I was the one in the wrong and owed her an apology!”Xavier turned back at the sound of her voice, just in time to catch a flicker of irrita

  • The Art of Revenge   The Protocol

    Karina furrowed her brows, heart in complete turmoil.If she refused to apologize to Serena, Xavier would definitely pull up the front desk footage. By then, wouldn’t he find out she’d actually hit the receptionist?Her image in his mind had already taken a massive hit because of her verbal abuse toward Serena—she couldn’t afford to make things worse.“Xavier…” Holding onto one last hope, she softened her voice, almost begging, “Can’t we let this go for the sake of my father? I just… I can’t bring myself to apologize to a woman who humiliated me.”Pulling out her father now, huh?Xavier sneered inwardly!If he were intimidated by her father or the Carters, he wouldn’t have tried every possible way to reject the arranged marriage with them.But appearances had to be maintained—for now, he didn’t want to completely tear things apart.So he
