"This has got nothing to do with you. You invited me here to solve this, didn't you?" Javier said finally. "This feud between us has lasted long enough.""You're right, it's lasted long enough." Charles narrowed his eyes. "I can't wait to see you hopeless and despondent when you've lost everything, Javier. Are you ready for that?"Javier laughed and gave Charles a long look. "Why are you so sure that I'll be the despondent one? What if it were you?""What nonsense." Charles knew that he had lost this argument. "You're right, we need to end this feud today. I think Claire will make the right decision, don't you?"Javier nodded with a smile. "Of course."In the other room, Claire clenched her fists tightly and bit on her lip, trembling as she watched the two men arguing. She didn't know what she should do. If she barged in on them, it would just make things worse.Javier was a proud man. One of the reasons why he was so successful was because he stuck to his word. Angrily, he rounded on

Claire struggled against Javier's grasp as he was hurting her, but he was too strong for her. Javier ignored her struggles and continued to stare at her. Claire felt uncomfortable. "Javier, can you let go of me?"The air around Javier seemed to drop in temperature. Claire shivered as their eyes met. Both sets of eyes seemed to have lost all the love and fondness they used to hold when they were lovers. "Javier, please," she whispered. "I really can't tell you why, but please don't kill Charles.""I don't believe you!" Javier refused to let go of her. His gaze was chilly."My girlfriend said no," Charles said suddenly. He wrapped an arm around Claire's waist and pulled her into his embrace."I am not your girlfriend," Claire said through gritted teeth. "I chose you, but that doesn't mean I'm your girlfriend. Watch your words."Charles' eyes darkened. He let go of her and looked at Javier, whose expression was as dark as the night. There were conflicting emotions flicking in his eyes, th

Suddenly, he recalled all the troubles that Javier had brought him and felt extremely unhappy. He angrily punched the wall and thought it wasn't a big deal. Matters in business were easy to deal with for him. He could just have his people do some money laundering. However, Javier would never let him off so easily. He had many pieces of evidence that could destroy Charles and send him to prison. So, he blurted out another shocking issue. "A few years ago, you were unhappy with someone, right? What did you do when you were a teenager? Charles Yackley, dare share it with us?""What can I do when I was a teen? Javier Marquez, you'd better not slander me!" Charles yelled.Then, he clenched his bleeding fist. "What are you trying to say? What do you want?" "Great. It seems you won't share your secrets with us." Javier nodded. Moments ago, Charles wasn't afraid of anything, but now he panicked inside. If all the bad things he did in the past were exposed, he would be doomed. Javier co

"Yes. You two are fooling around," Claire said. However, she was speechless as Charles admitted it so quickly. Claire's nose was red from crying. She endured her anger and acted calm. "How long are you two going to play this game? You guys know it's childish, but you're still using me as a bargaining chip." Javier lowered his head sadly, knowing that he had gone overboard this time. When Claire pointed the gun at herself and questioned him, he couldn't utter a word. Although they had sat down and discussed the matter, the atmosphere was still tense. Charles' attitude kept changing. He was angry for a while, and then he acted strange. It was hard to figure out what he was thinking. Everything that happened tonight was so horrible that even Javier couldn't withstand it. Claire was right. How could they use her like this?Claire bit the bullet and didn't wish for the situation to end this way. She pulled the gun closer to her forehead. "What are you two doing? Don't you think the

Charles felt even more unhappy and shouted, "Are you going to be responsible if something happens to Claire? All you do is talk." Javier felt he was like a talkative clown. He easily swung away from Charles' hand, causing him to retreat a few steps. "I'm a responsible guy. No matter what happens, I'll always find her." As Javier spoke, he walked close to Charles and continued, "To be honest, you have no right to care about her." Javier was the only one who could show concern and care for Claire. Unknowingly, Charles felt ridiculed. The smile on his face disappeared and turned into discontent and indifference. "I'll remember what you said. I hope you'll remember it too; in the future—" "No need for that. I remember my own words, unlike you." Javier didn't show him any respect and left. Charles looked at his broad figure, and disappointment appeared in his eyes. Although he didn't want to admit it, he could never win against Javier's oppressive demeanor. Javier quickly got
