"Oh, who do we have here? It's Ms. Loyle," Xavier said sarcastically. He eyed Lexi up and down. Upon noticing her undesirable outfit, he clicked his tongue in disapproval.Lexi saw Zachary glance at her indifferently. She composed herself and said, "Mr. Zox, I apologize for what happened last time.""I'll accept your apology if you finish this bottle of liquor," Xavier said. He pushed a bottle toward her with a hostile expression. Last time, she very nearly castrated him. He couldn't let her get away without some punishment. The bottle contained exceptionally strong liquor that could be life-threatening if consumed entirely.Quinton smiled and offered, "Mr. Zox, how about I drink half of it for Ms. Loyle?""No. If Ms. Loyle doesn't want to drink, she can strip for us," Xavier replied. A few of the young men around him cheered."Yes, give us a striptease!" they echoed.Yvonne looked shy as she rolled her eyes at Xavier and said with a laugh. "Mr. Zox, we women are not interest

The chaotic atmosphere finally settled when Lexi received an injection that put her into a peaceful slumber on the hospital bed. Having just done a good deed, Claude was washing his hands now. He stared at his slender fingers for a moment and chuckled.…Lexi slowly opened her eyes. Instantly, her nose picked up the smell of disinfectant typically associated with hospitals. Her ears detected a man's low voice coming from nearby. Once she returned to her senses, she turned her head and saw a man speaking on the phone by the window at a low volume. His voice was extremely hoarse, but his words were firm and merciless. "Make sure he spends the rest of his life in prison."On the other end of the call, Jason Sanchez laughed and teased, "Claude, I can't believe you're getting angry over a woman. This isn't like you!""I must be possessed or something," Claude replied apathetically. Then, in a somewhat fearless tone, he added, "I'll get myself exorcized someday.""Alright. Leave thi

In the afternoon, Quinton delivered a document for Lexi to sign on behalf of Zachary. He didn't know the contents of the document."Lexi, I'm sorry that I couldn't stop them last night." Quinton genuinely felt remorseful.Lexi shook her head. "There were so many of them, and you couldn't have fought them off. I should still thank you."She wasn't the type to direct her anger at innocent people who tried to help."Xavier won't trouble you anymore. He's in prison now, and Jenkins Corporation has ceased all business dealings with the Zox family."When Lexi heard that Xavier was in prison, she recalled Claude's phone call earlier that morning. It seemed he had helped her again.As for Jenkins Corporation ending its collaborations with the Zox family, she didn't naively believe it was for her sake. Business was just like war. If the Zox family and Zox Corporation fell, Jenkins Corporation could expand by taking over some of their assets.Quinton wasn't trying to defend Zachary. He ju

The door to the hospital room opened once again. It turned out that Zachary and Yvonne had come. Yvonne was wearing a white floral dress, and her beautiful face was free from makeup. She looked innocent and pure.Lexi glanced at them before looking away indifferently. She didn't look upset at all. Martha regarded them coldly. Since she was still in recovery, she didn't say anything hurtful right off the bat.Yvonne was holding a bouquet of Martha's favorite chrysanthemums. "Mrs. Jenkins Senior, I'm here to see you," she said. Then, she continued awkwardly, "When I walked out of the elevator, I happened to bump into Zachary."Mary linked arms with Yvonne. "Grandma, Yvonne and I made plans to come see you today."Since they were here to visit, Martha wasn't going to kick them out. She merely said with indifference, "Thanks, Ms. Xenos."Zachary walked over to Lexi's side and coldly handed her a piece of bread. "I rushed here right after getting off the plane. Have something light

Zachary had bought out the entire cinema just to take a few photos. "Damn rich people," Lexi sighed internally.Now that they had accomplished their mission of a movie date, Zachary took her to a restaurant. They booked a private room this time, so there was no need to buy out the whole restaurant.Now an expert, Lexi went along with his plan and took the photos. Once that was done, she picked up her handbag and left.As he watched Lexi walk away in a hurry, Zachary frowned. He picked up his phone and planned to send the date photos to Martha later tonight. Then, he got up and took his leave too.The table was already filled with the food that they had ordered, but neither of them had the desire to pick up their cutlery.After Lexi walked out of the private room, she unexpectedly ran into Claude at the restaurant. Today, he was dressed in a formal black suit that made him look regal.There was a woman in an evening gown standing next to him. She looked very young and gave off a g
