At night, Seth Rollins sat by Kitt's bedside, his face pale and his brow tight with endurance, beads of sweat covering his forehead.Alice carefully cleaned the wound on his hand, her voice laced with concern. "If you don't let this hand heal properly, it's going to be ruined."Seth Rollins replied, "Just get through tomorrow. Xavier Grayson isn't easy to fool—I can't let him notice anything off."Alice frowned deeply. "I have a way to make it invisible, but the material will trap heat and cause your wound to fester."Seth Rollins's expression remained unchanged. "It's fine. I'll deal with it after tomorrow."Seeing she couldn't talk him out of it, Alice gave him two shots of anti-inflammatory medication.She disguised the wound on his hand, treated the one on his shoulder, and handed him a course of medicine. "Take these and get some rest."After watching him swallow the pills, Alice lay down on the bed. Since she and Kitt were supposed to be lovers, sharing the same bed was only nat

Besides, the last time she'd appeared at Armand's residence, she'd strapped on a bunch of "padding." If she were still that size, she wouldn't even fit into this dress.Xavier Grayson: "Flashy? You mean those fake teeth?"Chloe Bishop: "..."Those were two completely different kinds of flashy!Xavier wrapped his arms around her from behind. "Not flashy at all. With those fake teeth alone, you've already warded off every man who might have improper thoughts about you—not to mention that bulbous nose."Chloe: "...Mr. Grayson, I suspect you're mocking me."Xavier buried his face in the curve of her neck and let out a low, melodious laugh. "Hehehe... Chloe, I really don't know what you were thinking back then!"Was her disguise really that unbearable?Flustered and embarrassed, she retorted, "Time was tight! I needed a drastic change, or I'd still be recognized. So I just... Stop laughing!"Seeing she was about to get genuinely angry, he reined in his amusement and moved his hands to her

Xavier Grayson had indeed been extra cautious—he'd never brought this many people along before.He held Chloe Bishop's hand firmly. "It's fine. Rex has immense influence here—he's well-connected on both sides of the law. No one would dare cause trouble on his turf unless they want to be blacklisted around here."Hearing that, Chloe smiled at him. "I'm overthinking it."Maybe it was because Xavier was still carrying a bullet wound, or perhaps it was her suspicions, but she couldn't shake this unease.Xavier wasn't a fool. He knew they were in a dangerous period, and he knew that Seth Rollins's men had suddenly vanished. He understood how to plan ahead and handle unforeseen events.After all, even if Seth Rollins was dead, there were still formidable opponents like Armand and Meyer to contend with.But her unease only grew stronger when they arrived at Rex's villa.So while Xavier stepped out of the car to chat with someone, Chloe quickly fired off a few messages in her group chat.The

"Kitt" happened to look her way at that moment. For some reason, Chloe Bishop inexplicably thought of Seth Rollins.After a brief exchange of glances with her, "Kitt's" gaze drifted down her body, scanning her up and down for so long that she couldn't help but frown.Xavier Grayson immediately stepped in front of her, his expression cold as he faced "Kitt." "Long time no see. Your lecherous habits haven't changed one bit.""Kitt" licked his lips and smiled, unbothered. "This girl has great skin. Too bad..."He let the sentence trail off, then wrapped an arm around Alice's waist. "My new girlfriend. Not bad, right?"Xavier glanced at Alice, then led Chloe away, apparently unwilling to engage further with "Kitt."Once they were at a safer distance, Xavier explained to her, "Kitt's a womanizer. Good thing you're Chloe right now. Stay close to me and don't leave my sight."Chloe nodded. She looked back and met "Kitt's" gaze again—that familiar feeling returned. Why did those eyes keep rem

Seth Rollins didn't dwell on his regret for long. Right now, Chloe Bishop was just outside—and she was standing right beside Xavier Grayson.Mistakes could be remedied. What mattered most now was to snatch her away from Xavier and take his life.Suddenly struck by a thought, he immediately called Vaemond, changing his earlier orders. "Inform the team—the plan has changed. No one moves without my command."Vaemond responded at once, "Boss, Xavier is sharp. If we drag this out, he'll sense something's off. A swift strike works in our favor."Seth Rollins's tone was firm. "That's an order."He ended the call without further explanation.Vaemond was right. Every second they delayed increased the risk of exposure, and there was no advantage to waiting.He could order his men not to fire at "Chloe," but in chaos, no one could guarantee her absolute safety—what if she caught a stray bullet?Seth Rollins didn't dare take that risk. He couldn't afford to.If something really happened to Chloe

At that moment, Xavier turned to Rex. "Mr. Rex, someone is causing trouble on your turf. Are you going to stand by and do nothing?"Before Rex could respond, Alice spoke up. "Indeed, someone is causing trouble. But on such a happy occasion, we should give people a way out. Miss Chloe, why don't you apologize to Little Phoenix?"From everyone's perspective, Chloe was the one who'd struck Little Phoenix.Little Phoenix was seething. "Apologize? Fine—then get on your knees and kowtow to me, or this isn't over."Xavier radiated an icy fury, his eyes brimming with cold-blooded cruelty. "Who do you think you are? Three seconds. Get lost. Now."The aura emanating from Xavier was so intimidating that Little Phoenix bit her lip hard, fighting the urge to retreat.But then she remembered that Seth Rollins had been shot and had fallen into the sea—his fate unknown—all because of this man. She couldn't allow herself to back down.She lifted her chin and turned to Rex. "Mr. Rex, you saw what just

This outcome was something neither Alice nor Little Phoenix had expected. Even Xavier was taken aback.He was well aware of Kitt's hostility toward him.Kitt's handling of the situation was completely out of character—it didn't seem like something he would normally do.Chloe Bishop, on the other hand, found herself revising her opinion of "Kitt."Perhaps the man wasn't as dissolute and lecherous as he appeared on the surface."Impossible! She's the one who hit me! Why should I kneel and apologize to her?"Little Phoenix's face cycled through shades of pale and red with rage. "Everyone, judge for yourselves! I got slapped three times at a birthday banquet, and now I'm supposed to kneel and apologize? Where in the world does that make sense?"The guests exchanged glances. They had to admit the punishment seemed a bit harsh. After all, "Chloe" hadn't suffered any real loss, and Little Phoenix had already paid for her impulsiveness with three slaps.Then "Kitt" let out a cold laugh at Lit

Alice quickly pressed down on Little Phoenix's hand, whispering urgently in her ear, "Stay calm. If you make a move now, you'll ruin our plan. Trust me—just wait a little longer. That man and woman won't have long to gloat. When the time comes, I'll personally hand that ugly woman over to you."Alice's words brought Little Phoenix back to her senses. She released her grip on the gun strapped to her leg.Before coming here, Alice had told her there would be an operation tonight—Vaemond and the others were all on standby. She couldn't let this small incident sabotage their plan.Once tonight's plan succeeded, Xavier Grayson's body would be riddled with bullets, and that hideous woman would die an ugly death.If their boss in the afterlife could see it, he'd finally rest in peace.Thinking that way, what couldn't Little Phoenix endure?Meanwhile, Chloe Bishop moved closer to Xavier with concern, discreetly supporting his waist. That slap just now had probably hurt more than just Little P

Xavier shot a glance at "Kitt" and curled his lips coldly. "Chloe, tonight might get rough. Don't leave my sight."Chloe Bishop frowned slightly, then nodded obediently. "Okay."Next, Xavier Grayson led her over to Rex and said in a low voice, "Uncle Rex, could we speak privately for a moment?"Rex had always held Xavier in high regard and trusted him completely. He nodded, gave a few instructions to the person beside him, then said to Xavier, "Follow me to the study."Xavier took Chloe to Rex's study, never once letting go of her hand.The moment the door closed behind them, Xavier's expression turned grim. "Uncle Rex, Kitt is acting very strangely today. Has he been behaving oddly over the past two days?"He cut straight to the point. "Even his voice is off."Rex's face drastically changed. "Are you saying..."Seth Rollins watched Xavier and Chloe enter Rex's study and immediately pulled out his phone, sending a message.Vaemond received it promptly: Xavier has already sensed someth

Rex pressed a button hidden behind the headboard. The bed slowly shifted aside, revealing the floor beneath.He pressed another button, and the edge of the floor panel lifted slightly. He grabbed it and flipped it open, then looked at Xavier Grayson and Chloe Bishop. "Quick—get in."Xavier jumped down first, then reached up to catch Chloe.Thud. A sound came from above. Rex hadn't followed them down. "Go! Don't worry about me."The panel closed, and the lights in the passage flickered on.Chloe noticed Xavier's forehead was beaded with sweat. Her gaze dropped—his white shirt was stained red at the abdomen. "Xavier."He shook his head. "I'm fine. Let's move."He grabbed her hand and ran.Chloe gathered her skirts and followed close behind.In the main hall, everyone had been subdued. The well-dressed elites were now crouched on the floor, clutching their heads and trembling.Fortunately, the gunmen weren't killing indiscriminately—they'd only taken out Rex's bodyguards.Seth Rollins re
