Back then—how could she have been so blind!His head throbbed with pain. He pressed his temples, massaging gently to ease the ache.Then suddenly, images of Nora Fatehi and Caesor walking past him, laughing and chatting, drifted through his mind. The sting of it left him gasping, and he slumped forward onto the desk, murmuring softly, "Nora Fatehi... Joy..."Nadia had been yelled at and had endured every dirty look in the office. Fuming, she got into her car and drove back to the Taylor residence.Upstairs, she locked herself in her room, finding fault with everything she laid eyes on.Rubbing her temples, she called out, "Servant!"A servant hurried in from outside."Make some calming tea... and hurry up about it!"The servant rushed off. Before long, a knock came at the door, and the same servant entered carrying a steaming bowl of herbal tea.Without a second thought, Nadia took it and lifted it to her lips—only to spit it out instantly. "Are you people brainless? It's scalding hot

Bishop Group had an event coming up soon. If they didn't make a move, they'd be crushed by the fierce competition in New York City.Xavier Grayson strode out of the conference room and down the hallway, his expression sharp, his demeanor effortless. The black suit he wore only made him look more striking."Finch, take care of the internal pricing across all of Bishop Group's supply chains. Lower everything across the board. And make sure every detail of the event venue is handled properly—create a high-end atmosphere. I need the results by closing time tonight, and they must meet my expectations."Finch nodded, flipping through a few pages of the documents in hand. "Understood. I'll get on it."Xavier Grayson led his people into the office. "Caesor, go downstairs and assist Finch with the inspection. Coordinate the staff. I only want success."Caesor nodded immediately and left with Finch.Xavier Grayson sat down in his office, undoing one button on his shirt with a single hand. He sw

Xavier Grayson leaned against his desk, watching her retreating figure. He couldn't help but click his tongue in mild disbelief. He and Chloe Bishop were already so solid—how could anyone still get such unrealistic ideas?Something didn't add up.Was it because Chloe Bishop had been lying low since her pregnancy, rarely appearing in public, that people assumed their relationship was strained?Or did they think their pride and egos had been wounded, giving them the illusion that a few casual words of devotion might actually move him?Was Chloe Bishop's "public claim" too weak, or was he himself giving off too much room for imagination?It seemed he'd have to take Chloe Bishop out and show some affection more often—if only to keep others from coveting what was his.The Bishop family's assets had held steady, preserving their ranking and the glory that came with it. In fact, they'd climbed several spots higher, prompting rumors that Xavier Grayson was "living off his wife" and currying f

Charles Bishop had been a bit embarrassed to ask. After all, everyone knew how capable Xavier Grayson was—having him at Bishop Group had been a blessing that made the old man genuinely happy.Still, he couldn't help worrying about how these news stories might affect the company and his daughter's reputation."Sweetheart, you've seen those news reports, haven't you? Taylor Group paid out a hundred and three million—all transferred by Xavier into Grayson Corporation's dead assets, indirectly setting the two companies against each other." Charles Bishop's voice was calm, but the curiosity in it was unmistakable.Chloe Bishop let out a light giggle, popping a piece of orange into her mouth. So sweet."Dad, don't worry about it. Neither Xavier nor I care. Let them slander us all they want—we have a clear conscience." She sounded remarkably carefree.But her carefree attitude only made her father more anxious. "But those scandals will still affect the company and your future, won't they? I

Chloe Bishop chuckled. "That sounds nice. I've been so cooped up at home—once I'm done with this pregnancy, I really want to get out and travel for a few months. Otherwise... I'll feel so wronged!"Xavier Grayson nodded, got off the bed, tidied up, and wrapped his arms around her."How's the morning sickness lately? Are your moods stable? Any pregnancy symptoms—like everything annoying you?" he asked gently.Chloe Bishop knew he was looking out for her. "I'm fine. With you treating me so well, what could possibly be wrong?"Relieved, Xavier Grayson said, "Try not to look at your phone too much these days. I know you trust me, but those comments are still negative energy. You're pregnant—it's not good for you to see that stuff. Besides, you've only been reading me the milder ones. You skipped the nasty ones because you were afraid I'd get upset, weren't you?"He took her hand and rubbed it softly.Chloe Bishop lowered her head with a quiet smile, saying nothing. She loved being in Xavi

Lucas's gaze burned with intensity—the same light that had once shone in Nicholas Taylor's eyes when he'd fallen for her.Bright. Full of hope.Nadia's eyes flickered. "Why doesn't the girl you like feel the same way?""Because she's already married." The moment the words left his mouth, Lucas seemed to realize he'd said too much. He stood up quickly, ready to leave.But Nadia caught his hand."What's her name? I could put in a good word for you. You're so handsome—there's no reason no one would want you."Her cheeks flushed with a hint of maidenly shyness. When she looked up at him, her eyes seemed to speak volumes.And the young man before her didn't disappoint. "Really? Then... does that mean you've accepted me?"Nadia froze. "Accepted what?"Lucas looked equally startled. "Didn't you just agree to my confession?"She sucked in a sharp breath. This man—he really liked her?Her heart raced like a startled deer. "You mean... you... me?"She pointed between the two of them, and Lucas

"The Dark Horse Leader Emerges Silently—Its President Is Actually Caesor!""Xavier's Downfall and Caesor's Comeback—Is There a Connection?"The news was everywhere. Xavier Grayson narrowed his eyes coldly—it was starting to get on his nerves.Every day, reporters swarmed the gates of Bishop Group, hounding him for his take on Caesor, the dark horse.His take. His take on what?It was simply a matter of timing.His phone rang. It was Caesor."Hello, Mr. Grayson."Xavier Grayson grunted in acknowledgment. "How's it going?""Everything's in place. All of Grayson Corporation's internal enterprises have been absorbed into Eagle Enterprises." Caesor's voice was flat, betraying no emotion.Xavier Grayson gave a satisfied hum. "Good. Keep the pressure on. If we can reel in some of their shareholders, even better. Since Hank Grayson wants to slander me, he can't blame me for returning the favor."Caesor agreed at once. "Understood, Mr. Grayson. I'll get on it. But..."He paused, and Xavier Gra

One made the call, and the rest followed. One by one, the other four directors withdrew their investments.In an instant, Hank Grayson was left alone in the conference room. He sat there stunned for a long moment. How had he ended up signing off on all of it?Maybe it was what they'd said."If Mr. Grayson won't agree to our withdrawal, we'll just breach the contract. The penalty fee can serve as a donation to Grayson Corporation anyway."Hank Grayson had his pride. How could he possibly accept that?If word got out, it would be humiliating.He couldn't afford the shame. So he'd had no choice but to agree. In the span of a few hours, the company had been reduced to just him and a handful of employees—barely a hundred people.He folded his hands over his forehead and let out a bitter laugh. "Just a few hours... and he's bought out my entire company. You're ruthless, Caesor! We have no grudge between us—why are you coming after me?"He slammed his palm on the table in fury. "Caesor! It h

Finch wasn't particularly surprised when he took the call. He glanced at Caesor, catching the hint of amusement on his face, and handed the phone over.Caesor casually tapped the record button. "Hello, Mr. Grayson. What can I do for you?"Hank Grayson let out a fawning laugh on the other end. "So... Caesor?"Caesor replied flatly, "Mr. Grayson, isn't it a bit informal to address me so directly? Are we that close?"Hank Grayson coughed awkwardly. "No, no—close or not, we'll get there after a chat. I heard that Eagle Enterprises was acquired by you, President Caesor?""Is there a problem with that?" Caesor asked.Hank Grayson waved his hands frantically, though no one could see it. "Not at all! That's not what I meant. I just think it's impressive—you knew there was no room to spread your wings under Xavier, so you struck out on your own. True gold always shines. Leaving Xavier's side was the right call, President Caesor."Finch raised an eyebrow. Hank Grayson sure had a silver tongue.

After Caesor announced the meeting time, the entire city of New York City eagerly awaited the day. His name had become wildly popular overnight.Tim stared at the news, crossing his legs lazily. "Caesor, you've done it. The name 'King' is spreading far and wide now."Caesor organized his documents without looking up. "It's still early for that. Mr. Grayson's plan is to first monopolize the business in New York City before expanding overseas."Tim nodded, tapping his newspaper lightly. "Still, the speed at which Eagle Enterprises has grown after you two acquired it is nothing short of astonishing."Caesor felt Tim was praising him, but he adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses with practiced grace. "Then you'd better watch closely—within a year, Mr. Grayson will have taken the business global."Tim smiled. "I believe in you two."Then, as if something else occurred to him, he turned to Xavier Grayson, who had been resting with his eyes closed. "So, Xavier—did you deliberately break away from
