So it wasn't that Adrian Grayson was being difficult—it was that someone had decided he shouldn't be good.Xavier Grayson had his triggers. First was Chloe Bishop. Second was Adrian Grayson. The rest were his family and friends.Anyone who dared touch them would face a wrath so merciless they wouldn't even recognize their own father.Let alone a mere teacher.The murderous aura radiating from him filled the room in an instant. The principal seemed to sense it and leaned back slightly.Sweat poured down his forehead in heavy beads."This... Tina, is what the child said true?"Tina, realizing she'd stepped into deep water, immediately shook her head and begged for mercy. "No, that's not it! I didn't say much—I only mentioned that his scars looked ugly. That's all. Nothing else! Children say all sorts of things—you can't expect kindergarteners to have tact, can you?"Even now, Tina was making excuses. The principal stared at her with a mix of frustration and disappointment. "You! Do you

The principal had already humbled himself to the point of utter degradation.Chloe Bishop felt no pity for them. She turned away, took Adrian Grayson's hand, and walked straight out. She trusted that Xavier Grayson could handle the rest.After watching the two of them disappear, Xavier Grayson gave Vincent a small wave.Vincent nodded and stepped forward."From now on, I will not invest another cent in this kindergarten's assets, and all partnerships are terminated. How this school develops from here is entirely your own problem. The fact that I'm not bankrupting you outright is already more than generous."Having said his piece, Xavier Grayson patted Vincent on the shoulder.But just as he lifted his foot to leave, Tina suddenly shouted, "What right do you have to decide my future? Just because you have money? Is being rich such a big deal?"Xavier Grayson's lips curled into a cold, razor-sharp smile—like a hunting leopard, eyes gleaming with intensity. "That's right. Because I have

The fact that Adrian Grayson's biological parents had abused him had always been a silent wound in all three of their hearts.The kind that tore at them every time it was brought up.Chloe Bishop knew Xavier Grayson was consumed by guilt and anger, so she didn't disturb him.After apologizing, Adrian Grayson sat quietly beside Mia, looking perfectly well-behaved—like a completely different child from the irritable little leopard he'd been the day before.Mia doted on him and gently stroked his head.Just then, Xavier Grayson came down the stairs.His face was deathly pale, and Vincent, who followed behind him, wore an odd expression.Chloe Bishop looked at him, puzzled. Why did he look so serious?Before anyone in the room could figure out what was happening, Xavier Grayson crouched down and rolled up his sleeves.Chloe Bishop caught a glimpse and reeled backward in shock.Anna reacted quickly and steadied her. "Miss Bishop!"Chloe Bishop furrowed her brow and dropped to her knees, gr

Chloe Bishop gazed at him for a long moment.She leaned in, gently cradling his injured arm with heartache. "It must have hurt a lot, didn't it?"Xavier Grayson's eyes deepened as he looked at the woman before him. The way she worried over him made her especially beautiful—her red-rimmed eyes like a little rabbit's, pitiful and endearing, stirring an even stronger possessiveness in him.He lightly pinched her nose. "Seeing you like this—it doesn't hurt anymore."Chloe Bishop gave him a soft slap."Stop being so silly! You're this badly hurt and you're still teasing me."Xavier Grayson let out a quiet laugh.Hank Grayson arrived at the designated meeting point to pick up his guest. He scanned the area, holding a sign that read "Firth."After waiting for nearly half an hour, a foreigner finally spotted him.A blond man with blue-green eyes, accompanied by a team of bodyguards, walked up to him.He extended his hand. "Hello, I'm Firth."Hank Grayson immediately grabbed his hand with both

Now the two of them were simply waiting for the shipment to arrive in the afternoon.Lan and Lace sat at the harbor, each munching on an apple.Lace's cheeks bulged like a little chipmunk's. "When is this shipment getting here? We've been waiting for almost two hours."Lan checked his watch. "No worries. President Grayson said three o'clock. It's only two now—we've got time."Lace sighed. Luckily, he and Lan had bought plenty of snacks on the way, so they weren't too bored. The two of them chatted about this and that, lounging around.Just then, they heard the horn of a cruise ship.Lace shot to his feet. In an instant, his cute expression melted into something sharp and serious. "Seems like it's here."Lan looked into the distance and indeed saw a cruise ship approaching from the horizon.He licked his lips, turned back, and let out a whistle.In an instant, dozens of men began swarming toward the harbor, accompanied by several black off-road cargo trucks.Tim, Caesor, and Jace stepp

Lace grinned wickedly. "Whose idea was that? So delightfully petty."Caesor smiled faintly, his glasses catching a glint of light."Boss Grayson's."Lace burst out laughing at that. "That's brutal!"The cargo was quickly emptied. Caesor did a quick inventory and clapped his hands. "Good. This is everything."The foreigner nodded. "Mission complete, then. We'll be on our way."Caesor and his team watched them leave before getting into their vehicles and heading off in the opposite direction.Firth had already delivered the goods and received his payment. With the money in hand, there was no reason to stick around—why watch Hank Grayson throw a fit and try to haggle for a refund?That would be naively foolish.After seeing Firth off, Hank Grayson drove straight to the dock. Seeing the lone cruise ship still sitting there, he was so excited his hands trembled.He sent his men in to retrieve the cargo while he paced back and forth, eagerly watching.But when his men went inside and came b

Meanwhile, Xavier Grayson was sitting in a café with Mr. Firth, drinking coffee and discussing their partnership.Mr. Firth let out a hearty laugh. "I never expected you and Hank Grayson to have such a deep grudge. Aren't you afraid he'll come after you?"Xavier Grayson looked utterly unbothered. His cold aura filled the space around him, his regal presence rivaling Firth's—like a lone, prideful wolf, sharp and commanding."Afraid? If he dares to come, I'll make sure he doesn't leave." Xavier Grayson raised his coffee cup. "I was surprised that you chose to switch sides and work with me at the last minute. I hope our partnership brings mutual benefit—unlike the one you had with Hank Grayson. And I trust you'll keep this to yourself."The message was unmistakable. First: keep your mouth shut, or it won't end well for you. Second: don't think you can pull the same stunt on me.Mr. Firth laughed awkwardly and nodded. "Understood."Caesor called."Boss Grayson, Hank Grayson just led a gro

Isabella bit her lip, her eyes reddening. "But—this isn't my son's fault! If Xavier hadn't gone too far, Hank would never have done anything rash."Lord Grayson glared at them with barely concealed disgust.Why had he ever been blind enough to let Hank Grayson run the company?Back then, the man had boasted loud and clear that he'd never let them down. And now? He was in jail!The old man coughed twice. "Since he's in prison now, I'll oversee the company myself."Het Grayson thought for a moment and volunteered. "Dad, your health isn't good. How about I take over instead?"Lord Grayson gave him a long, hard look—the kind that said "you're a disappointment." "No need. Right now, I don't have any faith left in your family."Het Grayson was deeply frustrated.Without another word, the old man grabbed his cane and headed upstairs.Isabella sat on the sofa and shot a glance at Het Grayson. "How did things end up like this?! I'm going to the prison to see him."She stood up and left.Het Gr

Chloe Bishop frowned. "I'm not so sure. The Grayson Family are the type to bite down and never let go. Hank Grayson's already in detention, and the company's collapse wasn't announced to anyone. Plus, isn't he still in debt by tens of millions?"Xavier Grayson curled his lips and shook his head. "Tens of millions? Last time, he owed over a hundred million. Now it's closer to two hundred million, I'd say."Chloe Bishop gasped. "No way—that much?"Xavier Grayson's smile was laced with satisfaction. "Exactly. That's the outcome I was aiming for."Looking at that smile, she couldn't help but feel a hint of schadenfreude behind it."You did this?"Xavier Grayson crossed his legs. "Yep. And I have to say, it feels pretty good."Chloe Bishop laughed."So what's your plan for the Grayson Family now? Their corporation is already destroyed—are you going to tear apart their household too?"Xavier Grayson was quiet for a moment, then bit into an apple slice.It was crisp.He chewed thoughtfully.

Seeing the messages from her friends, Chloe Bishop felt a warmth spread through her heart. They were just so adorable.She typed back with a laugh: "What are you all talking about? He's just saying nonsense."Gwen Grayson sent a sneaky emoji. "Oh, really? Really? You think he's just making that up? No way—it's a live broadcast, you know!"Nora followed with a teasing sticker. "You two are killing me with sweetness. The apples I bought today aren't even as sweet as this! I'm telling you, if you two don't end up happily ever after, Adam and I are coming to knock some sense into you."Adam sent a string of laughing emojis.Then she added, "That's so romantic. If a guy said on live TV that he wanted you by his side for life—how happy would that girl be?"She ended with a nose-picking emoji. "You two better be happy, okay?"Chloe Bishop felt a pang of emotion. Adam didn't even know how things were going with Wyatt over there, yet she was still comforting her.Nora couldn't hold back anymor
