"After going around in circles, how do you feel?"Christ wore a smile that stretched from ear to ear, clearly satisfied. A flush of color even rose to his cheeks."Very satisfied. But President Grayson, how did you know I was testing you on purpose?"Xavier Grayson tapped his fingers lightly against the desk. A cold aura radiated from him, and his expression was unreadably grim—tinged with a flicker of anger."President Johnson, you should know what I despise most: distrust. Since you've chosen to work with me, you should trust me unconditionally. There was no need for this little charade. It only annoys me."Christ licked his lips and quickly explained, "No, no—President Grayson, you have to understand. I'm terrified. I don't know who I've offended lately, but someone's been following me around, trying to harm me. I couldn't just hand over my safety to anyone without being sure."Xavier Grayson shot him a sidelong glance. "Fair enough. If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't feel at ease

Chloe Bishop sat on the sofa nearby, staring at the cascading lines of code on the blue screen in utter amazement."Sister Nora, that's incredible. How do you even read that? I can't make heads or tails of it—it's just a blur."Gwen Grayson let out a rueful laugh from beside her. "Don't even talk about blur—I feel like I'm getting hypnotized. It's like a lullaby trying to put me to sleep."Chloe Bishop couldn't help but laugh. Gwen Grayson was truly adorable.Xavier Grayson sat elegantly on the adjacent sofa, hands clasped, watching Chloe Bishop with quiet fondness."Caesor is a world-class hacker," he said. "If he sets his sights on breaching a system, there's no doubt he'll get in. His reputation is known far beyond our borders."Caesor smiled sheepishly. "Alright, alright, enough with the praise. You're making my hands shake."Nora grinned. "Caesor, how about a competition? Let's see who can stack the most viruses on a single vulnerability. Winner takes all, what do you say?"No on

She shook her hand a couple of times, but the cramp wouldn't ease. Xavier Grayson was at her side in an instant, cradling her hand in his and rubbing it gently. "You shouldn't be doing such intricate movements while pregnant—it causes cramps."Chloe Bishop let out a disgruntled "oh" and relented.And so, the whole room watched as Nora and Caesor worked their magic on the computers, fingers flying with intense focus.It was mesmerizing and dizzying all at once."Incredible. No wonder they're from the Dark Empire," Chloe Bishop thought to herself.Within half an hour, Nora suddenly slammed the Enter key. The blue screen flickered and went black.She narrowed her eyes. "Someone on the other side actually cracked one of my viruses. They've got some skill over there."Caesor's screen also went dark. "So what? They broke through one virus. We still have thousands more waiting for them. They could work all day and still not finish."Chloe Bishop let out a soft, elegant laugh. "We're terrible

Back home, Chloe Bishop immediately noticed a bowl overturned on the floor, still filled with steaming hot porridge. She saw a servant carefully scoop it up with her bare hands and dump it into the trash.She hurried over, concerned. "What happened here? The porridge is so hot—why are you using your bare hands?"Mia sighed. "Madam, you should go upstairs and check on Adrian. He's been off ever since he came back from kindergarten today. He wouldn't eat a thing. He wanted to go to his room, but we couldn't just let him starve, so we tried to persuade him to have a little. He got upset and knocked the whole bowl to the floor."Chloe Bishop looked at Mia's reddened hands and knew immediately that Adrian Grayson's stubborn streak had flared up again.It was a trait he'd inherited from the Grayson Family, through and through.She found it exhausting.Since Xavier Grayson wasn't back yet, she hurried upstairs.If he found out about this, it would undoubtedly escalate into another argument b

Xavier Grayson fell silent. Mia was right—some people spent their entire lives trying to outrun the nightmares of childhood. But he asked himself honestly: hadn't he treated Adrian Grayson well?Why couldn't that make up for what happened in the past?Still, he was able to calm himself. Since Chloe Bishop was with him, nothing bad could happen to Adrian Grayson.The next morning, Xavier Grayson didn't go to the office. He wanted to stay home and see how the two of them would handle things.Chloe Bishop came out of Adrian's room and spotted Xavier Grayson, who wasn't at work. She gave him a small smile. "Why aren't you at the office?"Xavier Grayson took her hand. "I saw you with Adrian last night. Did he have another nightmare?"Chloe Bishop nodded. "Yeah. Do you know what happened? After he told me yesterday, I was absolutely furious."Xavier Grayson raised an eyebrow inquisitively and glanced toward Adrian's room. The boy hadn't come out yet, so he kept his voice low. "He told you?"
