Chapter 631

“You’re all in on this!”Felix’s furious shout cut off the lawyer. “Grandpa is dead now, and you can make up whatever story you want! Go on! How much did Layla pay you all off?”“You—” The lawyer’s face flushed with anger. “Are you questioning our professional integrity? For your information, we recorded the entire process when the will was notarized. If you don’t believe us, we can make the footage public.”The butler stepped forward, looking at Felix. “Mr. Felix Perry, even though Mr. Perry Sr.’s health declined, his mind remained sharp. For something as important as his will, he made his decision after careful consideration.“Instead of questioning the will’s authenticity, perhaps you should reflect on why Mr. Perry Sr. chose to leave his shares to Miss Xander instead of his own family.”Wilfred’s voice broke the tension, his tone calm but edged with restrained anger. “Mr. Perry Sr. always prioritized the company’s interests. It’s natural for us to wonder why he would leave suc

Layla slowly stood up, her gaze calm as she addressed the crowd. “I have experience with Perry Corporation's operations. Under Mr. Perry Sr.'s mentorship, I helped Sean Perry manage a subsidiary. The records are still archived. If necessary, I can provide them to the board for reference.”Her words made the room fall silent. Everyone quickly realized that Layla was accepting the responsibility Mr. Perry Sr. had entrusted to her.Seeing that the shares were genuinely about to fall into Layla’s hands, Wilfred's expression tightened with anxiety. “Managing a subsidiary is nothing like running the main company.”“You're absolutely right,” Layla replied, meeting his gaze without flinching. “That's why I will use my experience with the subsidiary as a foundation and continue learning to manage the main company.”She looked around at the hesitant faces in the room.“Everyone here has seen the current state of the company. You can either continue to let the Perry family manage it or trust

The butler smiled through his tears. “Actually, there was so much more I wanted to say earlier, but I didn’t want to delay the service.“When he was in the nursing home, Mr. Perry Sr. often talked with me. No matter the conversation, he always ended up praising you. He once admitted that he used to believe Sean was the best choice to inherit Perry Corporation, but over time, he realized that the true strength came from the person standing behind Sean—and that person was you.“You spent a lot of time with him, Miss Xander. You know how fiercely protective he was of his family and how much he valued the company’s interests. For him to say something like that, it shows just how much faith he had in you.“Miss Xander, I have spent my life trusting Mr. Perry Sr. From now on, I will trust you.”There was such pure, unwavering trust in the butler’s eyes that Layla felt a surge of warmth wrap around her heart. Something seemed to take root deep inside her, a quiet but steady resolve.Her

“I got it.”Sean ended the call abruptly, hesitated for a moment, and then glanced at Kiera. “Kiera, I… that was…”“It's about Xena, isn't it?” Kiera asked calmly.Sean paused, slightly taken aback. “Yeah.”“Go check on her. Just drop me off at the villa. The Jenkins family driver is already waiting for me outside.”Sean opened his mouth, trying to say something, but Kiera had already turned to look out the window, making it clear she didn’t want to continue the conversation.After a brief silence, he forced himself to speak. “I'll take care of everything as soon as possible. Please focus on resting and taking care of yourself while you’re at the Jenkins home.”Ever since Mr. Perry Sr.'s death, Sean had deliberately tried to forget about Xena, waiting for her to give in and sign the consent form for the surgery.Now, it seemed that moment had finally arrived.The car pulled up outside the villa. Kiera unfastened her seatbelt and stepped out without a word, not even a glance ba

The guard glanced nervously at Xena, his voice trembling. “Mr. Perry… she won’t die, will she?”Sean remained silent, his gaze fixed on Xena. Any trace of sympathy had long vanished from his eyes, replaced by an unsettling flicker of excitement.“Xena, you brought this on yourself. Don’t blame me,” he silently remarked.*Almost as soon as Xena was wheeled into the emergency room, the Xander family received a call from Sean, telling them to come to the hospital.Mr. Xander refused to go, too ashamed to show his face. In the end, Mrs. Xander arrived, accompanied by Chris.When they finally found the emergency room, a nurse was already calling out in the hallway, “Who here is family for Xena Xander?”“Here!” Mrs. Xander raised her hand, rushing over to the nurse. “How is my daughter?”“The patient has suffered severe blood loss. We can't save her uterus. We need you to sign the consent form immediately so the doctors can operate and stop the bleeding.”The words hit Mrs. Xander

Chapter 636

The news that Xena had lost her uterus in surgery reached Layla’s ears before Xena even left the operating room.At the dining table, Levi’s voice came through William’s phone, which was on speaker.“It’s karma… pure and simple,” Levi sighed.“Absolutely,” Layla replied casually, using tongs to place a few slices of steak onto the sizzling grill in front of her, as though she were commenting on the weather.“I should probably pay her a visit. After all, she used to call me ‘sister’ with such enthusiasm. Now that she’s going through the worst time of her life, it would be heartless not to check in on her.”The rich aroma of the grilled meat filled the air, smoke curling up in gentle wisps, but her voice remained calm and emotionless, untouched by the warmth around her.*Two days later, Xena slowly opened her eyes, the bright sunlight flooding the room making her momentarily disoriented.Her last memory was of falling down the stairs. Panic gripped her, and she instinctively tri

Unfortunately, all Xena saw in Chris's eyes was the cold calm of someone who had weighed the pros and cons and made his choice.That quiet indifference struck her like a knife, leaving a deep, throbbing wound in her heart.Tears streamed down Xena’s face, but suddenly she laughed bitterly. “Of course… I only lost a uterus, but the Xander family can finally stop worrying about the Perrys targeting them.”Chris frowned. “Xena, I’m trying to help you see this clearly. There’s no need for your sarcastic attitude.“Besides, you caused this whole mess. You’ve disgraced the family, and instead of reflecting on your actions, you’re blaming us?“This painful lesson should teach you something. Maybe now you’ll learn how to live properly and stop causing trouble—”“Enough!”Xena clapped her hands over her ears, stumbling back, her eyes wild with pain and fury. In that moment, she didn’t even try to hide the bitterness and resentment in her gaze.“I don’t share the Xander family’s blood. W

“I’ll kill you!”Xena’s voice was a raw, furious scream. She tried to lunge at Layla, but pain surged through her abdomen, twisting her face in agony. She could barely move, let alone stand.“Layla!”Chris couldn’t watch any longer. His voice was sharp, his expression dark with anger.But Layla didn’t even spare him a glance. She turned away, her voice calm and dismissive. “We’re done here. Mike, let’s go.”She didn’t look back as she walked out, leaving Xena thrashing and screaming at the doorway, her voice hoarse with rage.“Layla! Come back here! I’ll kill you! Do you hear me? I’ll kill you!”Mrs. Xander’s heart broke as she rushed to her daughter’s side. “Xena, please calm down! Don’t listen to her! We’re still your family…”But Xena’s rage was a storm she couldn’t stop. She screamed and cried, her voice echoing through the hallway until doctors and nurses rushed in. They held her down and administered a sedative, and her thrashing slowly ceased as she fell into unconscious

The scene was a breath of fresh air, instantly brightening Layla's mood and clearing away the gloom from her encounter with Xena. Layla took a seat at the tea table, glancing between the two men. “You two seem pretty close?”“Not really.”“Very close.”Their synchronized answers made her pause, and Xavier shot William an exasperated look. “Will you stop pretending you barely know me? Especially in front of Miss Xander.“Don’t listen to him, Miss Xander. I’ve known him for years. Honestly, without him, I wouldn’t be where I am today. He’s practically a second father to me.”As he spoke, Xavier poured a cup of tea and slid it toward Layla. “Speaking of which, I wanted to ask if you’ve had time to consider being the face of our foundation? I know you’re incredibly busy, so I didn’t want to bother you. That’s why I had to use William here to set this meeting.”Xavier leaned in, his expression earnest. “Please, Miss Xander. I’d be incredibly grateful if you’d consider it, even if it

“You’re a little too chatty today,” William remarked in a calm, almost warning tone.Xavier just shrugged off the subtle reprimand, choosing to completely ignore it. He leaned closer to Layla, launching into a dramatic account of the pressure he was under trying to handle the Lucas Corporation team. His storytelling was so animated and detailed that Layla found herself thoroughly entertained.Seeing her engaged, William didn’t bother interrupting. He simply watched Xavier’s performance in silence.Half an hour later, Xavier finally paused, feeling parched. He reached for his tea and took a long sip before continuing. “Oh, and guess what? Lucien couldn’t sit still. He actually called me himself, putting aside his pride. The mighty CEO of Lucas Corporation, begging for a meeting.“Following your suggestion, I had my assistant send him an official invitation. Signed by the president of YT Corporation, of course.” Xavier’s grin turned mischievous, his eyes sparkling with excitement. “I
