Unaware that Xavier was behind her, Kathy proceeded towards their original seats in the corner, taking small steps. Upon reaching the sofa, she saw that it was vacant, as Bridgette and her friends were engrossed in the company of wealthy and attractive men at the bar. Kathy's expression turned sour as she felt the discomfort in her feet due to the walking. Just as she was about to sit down and rest, Xavier abruptly seized her arm.Caught off guard, Kathy spun around and found herself face-to-face with Xavier."Xavier, let go of me," Kathy uttered aloud, struggling to break free.“You were so eager to be by my side before. And now you want to discard me? Do you think I'm a mere puppet to be thrashed?" Xavier tightened his grip on Kathy's arm.With regret etched on her face, Kathy uttered;"I confess, I was foolish and oblivious to have fallen for you. You turned out to be a deceitful person disguised as someone trustworthy. And what did I receive in return? Homelessness and destitution

However, Xavier refrained from taking action because he still had leverage over Kathy, which was the Harvard Group. Although the group technically belonged to him, it was Kathy who had built it from the ground up. He doubted that she would easily abandon the Harvard Group.Dominic noticed that Xavier was using his company as a bargaining tool and became concerned that Kathy might be influenced by him. "Kathy, there's no need to worry about anything once you join our Henderson Corp. You're free to propose new plans and suggestions, and we'll give them serious consideration. Our company is different from those that stifle your ideas. You have the freedom to pursue whatever you desire." He assured her."What do you imply, Dominic? To whom are you referring?" Despite being intoxicated, Xavier could discern the sarcasm laced within Dominic's statement."Whoever matches the description is precisely who I'm referring to." Dominic responded bluntly.If Kathy hadn't been present, he would hav

"Can't you fit in the passenger seat?" He asked with a frown, ignoring her question when he saw that she decided to sit in the back seat instead. Kathy couldn't hide her exasperation with Dominic and rolled her eyes."Mr. CEO, we don't have the same status. I don't have the right to sit in your passenger seat," Kathy replied, leaving Dominic shocked by her words. The implication was that they weren't as close as he had believed. He felt helpless, having just defended Kathy, only to have her reject his support.Kathy was unaware of Dominic's thoughts, as her focus was on her swollen left foot. She attributed the swelling to Xavier's erratic behavior, believing that if he hadn't acted out, she wouldn't find herself in such a wretched state. As she gently touched her foot, a sudden intense pain shot through her, causing her complexion to turn pale. Observing Kathy's face turning pallid through the rearview mirror, Dominic questioned her in confusion;"What's the matter with you?""I'm

Xavier inclined his head and gently placed a kiss on Alexia's forehead. "You should take some rest. I can tell you're tired," he advised. With those words, Xavier carefully lifted Alexia into his arms and settled her onto the bed.As soon as her head touched the soft pillow, Alexia felt herself drifting off to sleep. The exhaustion had taken its toll on her. Meanwhile, Xavier retrieved his phone and saw that its battery had died. Acting swiftly, he got a charger and proceeded to recharge his phone. Once it had powered up again, the phone suddenly began to ring, startling Xavier. Glancing at the caller ID, he recognized it as Mr. Wade, an investor and one of his business partners. Uncertain and sensing an ominous feeling, Xavier hesitated before ultimately deciding not to answer the call.After the incessant ringing ceased, Xavier hastily unlocked his phone, only to be confronted by a flood of messages that left him on the verge of a breakdown. As he perused the contents, his heart ne

"Fetch my phone.” Kathy uttered weakly after the nurse departed, gently massaging her throbbing forehead.Xavier, his clothes stained with filth, overheard Kathy's authoritative tone, causing his already sour expression to intensify. Nevertheless, he remained silent, aware that he was responsible for her head injury. Xavier retrieved a small black leather bag from the couch and tossed it towards Kathy. Disregarding Kathy's intentions, he promptly exited the ward.Kathy took her phone from the bag and glanced at the time. It was already 9 AM in the morning. She had missed work, and even if she hadn't, leaving the hospital was out of the question. Frustrated, Kathy let out a helpless sigh and dialed Dominic's number.While stuck in traffic on his way to work, Dominic noticed Kathy's incoming call displayed on his car's screen. Assuming it could be related to some documents or an important discussion, he promptly answered. "Miss Kathy, what can I do for you?""Sir, I need to take a sick

"Why did you bring her to the hospital? Didn't Kathy betray you?" After hearing Xavier's words, Alexia inferred that Xavier and Kathy had reconciled. "Because I had to." He bluntly uttered.But Alexia interpreted it differently. "Did you visit her yesterday?" She inquired further, visibly bittered and upset.Xavier paused and glanced at Alexia in annoyance."Are you finished with your questions?"Recognizing Xavier's impatience, Alexia ceased her inquiries and obediently remained silent. However, she remained dissatisfied. Despite Kathy leaving Xavier, he still had lingering thoughts about her, which ignited jealousy and drove Alexia to madness.If Xavier were aware of Alexia's thoughts, he would likely become furious. His visit to Kathy was solely prompted by the news reports. He intended to retaliate against her, but he hadn't anticipated an accident occurring. Despite harboring doubts within himself, Xavier still found Kathy to be somewhat useful, so he decided to kindly take he

Xavier was utterly defenseless against Dominic's words. Every single thing they reported was undeniably true, without a shred of falsehood. Standing on the sidelines, Alexia interjected, addressing Kathy; "Are you simply going to stand idly by and watch this man insult Xavier? Didn't you once love him? How can you now team up with others to bully him?"Upon hearing Alexia's words, Kathy burst into laughter and retorted; "Alexia, have you lost your mind? Xavier and I have no connection anymore. Why should I come to his aid? I didn't even call the police, and that's already more than enough."Alexia was left speechless and anxiously grabbed Xavier's arm, pleading, "Xavier, I'm the one who reported this news. It's just a ploy by the mall. If you want to retaliate against me, go ahead. I have plenty of secrets that you can uncover."Xavier's intimidation no longer affected Dominic. Xavier was now helpless, futilely struggling but unable to achieve anything significant."Let's go," Xavier

In Kathy's ward, her phone suddenly buzzed, its sound piercing the quietness. Hastily, she reached for it and saw that it was a message from Dominic inquiring about her well-being. In response, Kathy sent a concise reply: [I'm fine, thank you.]Upon receiving Kathy's message, Dominic shook his head once with a charming smile in his office. He felt that Kathy would've said that even though she was still in pain or hurt.While eating the food that Dominic bought for her, Kathy contemplated how best to express her gratitude. Should she repay him, treat him to a meal, or buy a gift? After careful deliberation, she resolved to invite Dominic to a meal after their workday the following day.Following their dinner, Kathy freshened up and noticed a reduction in her headache and dizziness. She visited a doctor, who prescribed medication for her. After taking the prescribed medicine and packing her belongings, Kathy left the hospital.Upon her return to her apartment, it was already 8:30 pm. Ka

"Why are you asking me that?” Kathy was a bit puzzled. Given her boss-subordinate relationship with Dominic, why did Abigail seem to doubt her?"Darling, don't you think the CEO is showing too much interest in you?" Abigail teased, and Kathy furrowed her brow. "I don't believe he's excessively focused on me."Bridgette and the others stared at Kathy in astonishment, while Abigail pointed towards Kathy's forehead. "Girl, we all witnessed how caring the CEO was when you were ill that day. His demeanor was incredibly gentle..."She intended to continue, but Kathy raised her hand to stop her."Abigail, it's perfectly normal for the CEO to show concern for his exceptional subordinates. Even if it were Xavier, wouldn't he ask why you didn't come to work if you were absent for a day?"Abigail and the others found Kathy's words somewhat unsettling, yet they struggled to come up with a rebuttal for some time."Why are you all staring? Let's eat quickly. Once we're done, we still need to con

"Oh my goodness! This is incredibly inappropriate! And to think she's even involved in a love triangle? Isn't our CEO enough for her?" Jaclyn's face contorted with disgust, and her sentiment was shared by the others in the room."I always believed Kathy to be competent in securing the Topcom contract. She appeared dignified on the surface, but I never anticipated such promiscuity and deceit," Dwight shook his head in disappointment and remarked, "It just goes to show that you can never truly know what lies within someone's heart."With a few twisted words, Maricela successfully painted Kathy as a disreputable woman who used her body to advance her career, causing Kathy's reputation within the distribution team to plummet.Even Mrs. Lena, who initially held a favorable opinion of Kathy, found herself developing a strong aversion towards her. After all, a diamond that shines too brightly blinds, and a diamond tarnished loses its value.Kathy clutched a report in her hand, ready to deliv
