Chapter 781

Author: Eli Sole
“You didn’t get to see Miss Xander’s temper before, did you?” Ivan shook his head. “She’s probably the only person on this planet who can throw attitude at William and still walk away unharmed.

“Don’t say I didn’t warn you,” he added, giving William a firm pat on the shoulder. “Keep spoiling her like this, and she’s going to end up running the show.”

That earned him a cold glare from William.

“Come on, Ivan, don’t talk nonsense,” Carter cut in. “She’s nothing like those girls you used to know. She’s not the type to get spoiled.”

“Exactly! Quit trying to stir up drama between them,” Levi chimed in.

Ivan turned toward Levi with a raised brow, now clearly interested. “You’ve got a lot of nerve speaking up. You better tell us straight—why’d you suddenly quit being a doctor? Didn’t you always say you’d spend your whole life saving lives in a hospital? That being a doctor was your ultimate calling?”

Put on the spot, Levi looked a little embarrassed. “How do you remember all that?”

    Mrs. Xander sighed. “How do you expect him to give up? The family's in ruins. Even though he’s bedridden, he’s more anxious than anyone.“You know what he’s like—he’s spent his whole life chasing power, always needing to come out on top. Do you really think he can accept being…”Useless.The word circled in her mouth but never came out.“Mr. Lucien Lucas helped us once before. Your father keeps thinking he might help us again. And let’s be honest—we’ve sent him enough gifts and money over the years. He can’t just turn his back on us completely, right?”“Things aren’t like they used to be.”Chris’s voice was cold. “If Mr. Lucas actually wanted to help again, he wouldn’t have ignored our calls for the past few months. I don’t know what Dad’s still holding on to.“What, does he need Mr. Lucas to reject him to his face before he’ll give it up? He’s already like this. Does he need another blow on top of everything else? Can’t he stop making things harder for me?”He shook off Mrs. X

    “Alright. I’ll wait.”Chris quickly pulled a business card from his pocket and placed it on the coffee table, afraid Layla might change her mind. He stood up at once. “I’ll head back now and organize the files. I’ll send them over as soon as I can.”Before Layla could respond, he rushed out of the office in a flurry.After watching him leave, Layla picked up the box of cookies from the table with a blank expression. Without a second glance, she threw it directly into the trash can beside her.*After an hour’s drive, Chris returned home. Just as he entered, he ran right into Shane heading out the door. Caught off guard, Chris was slammed in the shoulder by Shane.He nearly lost his balance. Turning back, he called out, “Shane, where are you off to now?”But Shane didn’t even glance at him. He walked straight into the elevator.Ever since that night with Declan, Shane had locked himself in his room almost every day. And when he did go out, he wore a scowl like the whole world

    “That night… I ran into Mr. Lucas. I’m sure you’ve already heard about what happened between me and Shane. Pretty embarrassing, huh?”Chris let out an awkward laugh—part self-mockery, part shame, and a little bit of helplessness.The Xander family’s downfall was something he had never imagined.As the eldest son, he always had a smooth ride. People treated him with respect. He was used to admiration, not ridicule. Now, with hostility coming at him from every direction, he felt completely lost.“After I sold all my shares and officially cut ties with the company to start something of my own, I realized nothing was as simple as I thought.“Business used to be easy. Even clients from big corporations would treat me with a smile. We were all businesspeople—shouldn’t we have been equals?“But now, every client I meet is worse than the last. They either squeeze me on cost or toy with me for fun. Every time, I tell myself it’s fine—as long as I close the deal, it’ll be worth it.“But t

    “But it’s nothing serious. Gwen will come to terms with it eventually. Don’t stress too much. Just be happy with William. He’s been through a lot.”Olivia sighed softly. “A man like him… staying loyal to one person for all these years? That’s practically a myth in our circle.”Layla was just about to respond when someone knocked on her door. She gave Olivia a quick goodbye and ended the call.Setting her phone down, Layla called out clearly, “Come in.”Her assistant stepped in, followed closely by Chris.Layla glanced at him, then turned to the assistant and said, “Bring us two cups of tea.”The assistant nodded. “Of course.”Chris looked stunned, almost unsure how to react. “You’re… not kicking me out?”“If you want to leave, no one’s stopping you,” Layla said coolly, closing the folder on her desk with a flick of her hand.“I’m not leaving. I came here specifically to see you…”The situation wasn’t playing out the way Chris had expected, and for a moment, he didn’t know how

    Just as Xenos had made clear—he hadn’t come to discuss anything with Yuna. He was there to issue orders.So he didn’t need, nor did he care about, her response.“You’ll be contacted with instructions. Use this time to prepare yourself.“You’ve been out of the organization for too long. You’re out of practice. Even your lies are rusty.“I don’t believe for a second that you’re not interested in Levi Young.”With that, Xenos walked to the door. After checking through the peephole to confirm no one was outside, he opened it and left.Yuna stood motionless, listening to the door click shut behind him. Then, without warning, she slammed her fist into the wall. Blood welled up around her knuckles.His final words had been anything but subtle.If she didn’t follow orders, he would go after Levi.But Xenos was a snake. His promises meant nothing.So what reason did she have to trust him?*With the arrival of September, North City was fully steeped in autumn’s chill.The September

    “You made the decision yourself. Why should I question it?”Yuna’s voice was already tinged with impatience. “You’re an adult, Levi. What, you still need me to map out your life for you?”“I’m not asking you to,” Levi said, his voice tight with urgency. “I just… I just wanted you to really see me. After everything we’ve been through, do I really not even count as a friend in your eyes?”“I don’t need friends.”Yuna’s tone turned colder. She moved to shut the door. “You’re clearly drunk. Coming here to act out—what do you expect me to do? I’m going to bed. I don’t have time to deal with a drunk.”Seeing her about to close the door, Levi panicked and pressed his hand against it, voice rising without meaning to.“I left the hospital for you! I wanted to become someone strong enough to protect you! Yuna, I—”“Are you insane?!”Yuna snapped, shoving him hard.“I don’t need your protection! Stop doing these self-sacrificing, self-indulgent things and pretending it’s for me. To me, y
