Xavier had just returned from the villa halfway up the mountain with Adrian Grayson. He had gone to pay his respects to Lana Rose and Noah, telling them in person that he was getting married tomorrow.Lana Rose's mental state was unstable, so Xavier had her confined to her room to spare Adrian Grayson the pain of seeing her like that."You're thoughtful. Let's go."Shawn nodded at Xavier, and the two of them walked together toward the back hill.Carrying the lifelike "Little Snowball" in his arms, Adrian Grayson went upstairs. He stood outside the door for a long time before finally summoning the courage to knock.Chloe Bishop had just finished tidying up. She heard the knock and went to open the door.When she opened it, there stood Adrian Grayson holding a pure white puppy—both boy and dog staring up at her with two pairs of big, dark, gleaming eyes.Adrian Grayson was wearing the cute cartoon puffer jacket she had bought for him. He looked absolutely adorable—the kind that made you

Chloe Bishop didn't ask Adrian Grayson what was in that photo. She already knew it had to be something "ugly"—something damaging.If she had opened that box downstairs on the first floor, she would never have been able to hold her head high in the Grayson family again. Even Lady Grayson would have been deeply disappointed in her.Just thinking about it made her scalp tingle.A week had passed now. She wondered whether Xavier Grayson had caught the culprit yet.Tomorrow's wedding—she couldn't shake this uneasy feeling in her heart."Should we go downstairs and see your father?"Chloe Bishop pushed aside the foreboding thoughts. Whether the culprit had been caught or not, tomorrow's wedding would go on.Adrian Grayson shook his head. "No, you can't see Daddy today—it's bad luck. We just went to see Grandpa, Grandma, and my dad. Daddy said they'll watch over us from heaven."Chloe Bishop understood at once the purpose of Xavier Grayson's visit. She took Adrian Grayson's hand and led him

At 6:30, the wedding procession departed from the Grayson Residence. A grand line of luxury cars stretched down the road, with a stretched Rolls-Royce as the lead vehicle.The sky was still dark when they set off. By the time they arrived at the Bishop residence, the first pale glow of dawn was just appearing on the horizon.Chloe Bishop's bedroom door was firmly shut. Nora and the others were already prepared to make the groom and his groomsmen work for it—it all depended on whether their red envelopes were generous enough."Think Xavier Grayson will do the seaweed dance?""What if he refuses to play along?""And if he guesses wrong on that lip print—wouldn't that be awkward?"Chloe Bishop listened to her friends' chatter as she studied her reflection in the mirror. The girlish nervousness from months ago was gone. She looked calm, composed, and at ease.But there was a new softness at the corners of her eyes and brows.Half a year ago, she had been a girl eagerly anticipating her we

"Sing it—'Conquest'! Or don't even think about taking our Chloe away!"Jade, Jake Tully, and the others joined in the jeering.Vincent, Lan, and the rest of the groomsmen were furious—glaring daggers... and then shoving red envelopes straight into the hecklers' hands.The group got stuffed with a pile of red packets. They opened them and lit up like kids scoring candy: Hmph. At least they know how to play along.Justin Taylor watched a red envelope fall right in front of him. He reached out and caught one, then looked at Xavier Grayson with cool, detached eyes. "It's just one song. Not exactly a tall order. How about I sing it on your behalf, President Grayson?"Caesor smirked. Tsk. Justin Taylor is testing the waters.They'd already made it crystal clear—the groom had to sing. Why was he sticking his nose in?Xavier Grayson gave a cold, thin smile. "Appreciate the offer, Second Young Lord Taylor. But I'll pass."From inside the room, Gwen Grayson's voice rang out again: "Cousin, you

"Ha ha ha..."The crowd burst into laughter. Look at how anxious Mr. Grayson was!Xavier Grayson glanced down at her bare, pale feet and furrowed his brow. He set Chloe Bishop back on the bed, knelt on one knee, picked up the red wedding shoes from the floor, and gently slipped them onto her feet.Once the shoes were on, without waiting for anyone to tease him, Xavier Grayson scooped her up again and headed downstairs.Adam nudged Gwen Grayson lightly. "Wouldn't have guessed it—your cousin looks like he's carved from ice, but he's actually such a romantic."Gwen Grayson said, "All I can say is—that man has serious strength."Just then, Caesor noticed the maid of honor hadn't followed. He turned back, looked at her, and extended his hand—graceful, sunny, and refined.Gwen Grayson immediately abandoned Adam and Nora, placed her hand in his, and the two walked off hand in hand.Adam: "... Nora, are you sure this best man is a college student? He seems more like a player who clubs every n
