"You looking down on me?"Ava Adam didn't bother hiding the disgust in her eyes. She was a pretty girl, but the way she curled her lip laid bare every bit of her ugliness.Hank Grayson couldn't stand to look at her. He frowned."Enough talk. Just get on with it."She shot him one last contemptuous glance before turning and walking out.Less than twenty minutes later, she returned with an officer. The door was unlocked, and the two of them—now both in disguise—slipped out without a trace.—Meanwhile, the day of the celebration banquet was drawing closer.Xavier Grayson and Chloe Bishop were swamped with preparations—shopping for gowns, arranging the grand feast, and overseeing every last detail.Both families were fully involved. Charles Bishop and Zara took charge of the venue design, while Shawn and Lady Grayson sat nearby, sipping tea and chatting elegantly about the young couple.The hotel bustled with activity.Chloe Bishop stepped out in an evening gown and studied her exposed c

Xavier Grayson remained composed, neither arrogant nor impatient. He raised his glass gracefully and clinked it in the air from across the room with a distant CEO.Just then, Finch rushed in from outside.He came up to Xavier Grayson and whispered in his ear, "Young Lord Grayson, Hank Grayson is here."Xavier Grayson's lips brushed against the rim of his glass. "What's he doing here?"Finch replied, "Not sure. But at this time, he should still be locked up in detention. How did he get out? Should we call the police?"Xavier Grayson thought for a moment, then waved his hand. "No need. If he wants to come and humiliate himself, let him. He must have someone backing him to get released. Find out who pulled the strings."Finch nodded and turned to leave, but Xavier Grayson held him back."Wait."Finch looked back curiously. "What is it, Young Lord Grayson?"Xavier Grayson gave him a sidelong glance, then swept his gaze across the venue. "There are a lot of people here today. Make sure you

Gwen Grayson was a little miffed. "You tricked me!"Tim quickly grabbed her wrist. "No, I didn't. I know you too well—I know exactly how to cheer you up. As long as you're talking, everything's fine. After the banquet, I'll take you out for some glutinous rice balls, okay?"Gwen Grayson's eyes lit up instantly, fixed on him intently. "And?"Tim thought for a moment. "And your favorite grilled skewers, roasted octopus, spicy hotpot, steak and pasta, and that juice you love."Gwen Grayson licked her lips. The small gesture made Tim's mind go blank for a second, a fire kindling low in his chest. His hand instinctively tightened around her waist, drawing her closer.Gwen Grayson was now acting every bit the little diva. "I don't just want to eat. Later tonight, let's go clubbing! I remember your ex-ex-girlfriend hangs out there too. We'll buy a huge pile of snacks, sit in the corner, and watch her eat. She'll be dancing on the floor, and we'll just sit there and stare at her. Let's piss o

In a dark corner elsewhere, Hank Grayson stared with bloodshot eyes at the two figures spinning across the dance floor.Xavier Grayson and Chloe Bishop.After getting out of detention, he'd gone straight home.He'd thought he could win back his father's, mother's, and grandfather's forgiveness. But who could have guessed—he was met with a beating and a torrent of abuse instead.Because he'd been locked up, Lord Grayson had taken over his company.And once the old man started digging, he uncovered gaping holes in the company's finances.The discovery enraged Lord Grayson so much that he couldn't get out of bed for three days. Het Grayson was beside himself with worry.Hank Grayson had gone home hoping to explain himself. Instead, the old man hurled his cane at him and ordered him to get out of the Grayson Family for good.He'd barely escaped prison, thinking his family would help keep him out for good. But then—he was cast out!All of it was Xavier Grayson's fault! If not for him, his

Xavier Grayson comforted her gently. "Don't be afraid. I'm here."The group waited outside the operating room.Xavier Grayson soothed Chloe Bishop while Gracia, Zayed, Lace, and the others finished handling Hank Grayson's situation, then escorted both families safely home.Tim and Nora both looked pale.Nora hadn't shed a single tear, but her expression said it all—she was barely holding herself together.Her eyes were hollow. Her face was ghostly white.Tim crouched on the ground, his head buried in his hands.Just then, the operating room doors swung open.Everyone rushed forward.Tim and Nora were the fastest.When they saw that the person being wheeled out was Gwen Grayson, Tim finally broke down, crying like a child.He grabbed her cold hand and whispered softly, "Gwen! Gwen!"The doctor let out a sigh of relief. "The bullet hit her shoulder. The surgery went well—she won't have any lasting complications. It grazed a nerve, but we got lucky. If it had hit directly, her entire lef
