Chapter 807

Author: Eli Sole
Chris’s frown deepened. “I’m not trying to put you down. I’m just worried that—”

“That I’ll get scammed?” Shane cut him off, pocketing his phone with a cold laugh. “Isn’t that just another way of saying you think I’m an idiot?”

“That’s not what I meant—”

“Then what am I supposed to think?” Shane exploded. “Every time I go with you to a business meeting, I come back humiliated. Now, when I finally bring in an investor, all you do is question it. You think you’re the only one who can do anything? That I’m worthless?

“You’re the eldest son. You’re supposed to carry the whole family. And me? I’m just supposed to sit at home and be useless? Have you ever thought that maybe I want to contribute too?

“Stop looking down on me!”

Spitting on the floor, Shane sneered, “And don’t act like you’re so great. You can’t even hold this family together. I’ll show you I can.”

Cough, cough, cough—

Mr. Xander broke into a fit of coughing.

Mrs. Xander rushed to his side to steady him, scolding them

    The sky was beginning to lighten, soft morning rays filtering into the room.Carly stirred awake, her head pounding. Still dazed, she caught sight of someone sitting by the bed and bolted upright in shock.She instinctively yanked the covers up and scrambled backward, a panicked scream tearing from her throat.“Don’t scream!”Shane flinched and rushed forward, slapping a hand over her mouth, half his weight pinning her down.The moment Carly recognized his face, she struggled even harder. “Mmph! Mmph!”“Carly, please—don’t be scared…” Shane tried to soothe her, fighting to keep her still. “I didn’t do anything to you last night. I… I just missed you, that’s all…”“Mmph…!”Carly’s muffled sobs were thick with rage and disgust.Miss her? Then why had he arranged for her to be drugged and dragged here after work?Her memory of the entire night was blank. God only knew what he had done while she was unconscious.“Carly, don’t look at me like that…” Shane’s heart twisted seeing h

    Tonight, he was going to make Carly his woman.*At the Lucas estate, Zion and his wife were beside themselves with worry. Carly hadn’t come home, and they hadn’t been able to reach her all night.Camila had already called every friend of Carly’s she could think of. Not a single one had seen her.“Why didn’t you bring her home from work tonight?” Camila sobbed as she clutched her phone. “You’re the one who pushed her to take that job at Lucas Corporation. Why didn’t you keep an eye on her?“If anything happens to her, Zion, I swear I’ll never forgive you! We won’t even be able to live together anymore!“She’s our only daughter. Even if she never worked a day in her life, we could support her forever. Why did you have to push her out there into the world—”“Enough!”Zion’s patience finally snapped. He was already on edge, and her crying wasn’t helping.“I wanted her to work there for her own good. You didn’t object at the time, did you? So why are you blaming me now?“And besi

    Xenos deliberately played it cool. With a wave of his hand, he summoned one of his men. “Take my brother to pick up his gift.”“My brother.” To Shane, it sounded like the highest praise.His grin grew even wider, eyes nearly disappearing into slits. “No matter what it is, thank you, Xenos! From now on, I’ll stick with you and give it my all. I won’t let you down!“You tell me to go east, I’ll never go west! From now on, you’re my real brother!”To show his sincerity, Shane immediately downed three full shots in a row, earning a round of cheers from the room.“Alright, that’s enough. If you keep going, you really will drink yourself under the table,” Xenos said with a chuckle, patting him on the shoulder. “Go get your gift. Save the thank-you speeches for later.”“Got it!” Shane answered excitedly and followed the man out of the room.After he left, one of the men moved closer to Xenos, frowning in distaste. “Xenos, that kid’s a complete fool. Why are you even bothering with him?

    Sean froze. The color drained from his face. “You… you’re lying. Kiera would never…”“You still think Kiera’s some innocent, kind and picture-perfect daughter from a good family? You must’ve forgotten exactly how you ended up like this,” Xena said coldly.“She knew about your illness long before she left the country.”There wasn’t a trace of shame in Xena’s tone. Instead, she sounded perfectly justified.“Even if she found out later about us, does that mean you deserve to die for it? She’s far more vicious than either of us ever imagined. But then again…”Xena let out a mocking laugh. “She gets along just fine with Layla. The two of them set you up together, and you’re still sitting here trying to defend her. How pathetic.“When you’re dead, I’ll be the only one left to deal with your body.”With that, Xena turned on her heel and walked off, the sharp click of her heels echoing with cold finality.For a long time, Sean sat frozen, numb. He couldn’t believe Kiera had wanted him

    Back then, that man’s arrogance had rubbed Lucien the wrong way. Lucien mocked him on the spot with cold disdain.But the man hadn’t gotten angry. He just tossed out one line, “You’ll come begging one day.”Lucien couldn’t help but wonder what made him so sure. Now, he was genuinely curious.*Just after the holiday, YT Corporation announced that Layla would be the official ambassador for their Children’s Charity Foundation—a move that instantly shot to the top of trending searches.For a full day, giant LED screens across the country’s largest shopping malls played the charity’s promo video on a loop. TV stations scrambled to report the news, and online discussions exploded.“Maybe I’m out of the loop, but I’ve never seen this kind of rollout for a charity ambassador before!”“All this for a public service title? YT really poured money into it. Forget corporate charity—this is straight-up spoiling your wife in public!”“Now I’m dying to see their wedding. It’ll be the event
