Xavier smirked, his smile not entirely serious, and replied, "If you can come, why can't I?!"At this moment, Clint had already approached the door. Upon seeing who it was, his face revealed unmistakable disappointment, but he still politely spoke, "Mr. Blaze, it's an honor to have you visit. Why didn’t you notify us in advance?"Xavier, acting as though he were returning to his own home, put his hands behind his back and entered without waiting for an invitation.As he walked toward the living room, he casually spoke, "I’m here on someone else’s behalf.""On someone else’s behalf?!"Poppy didn't know the history between Xavier and Serena. After being slapped that day, she only assumed that Serena was two-timing and had latched onto Xavier as a way out.Hearing him say that, she naturally tho

Xavier let out a low chuckle, tilting his head slightly as if recalling something amusing. "Well, not exactly. The original words were much harsher than that!""She... didn't she always refuse to divorce before?!" Clint slumped onto the sofa, muttering to himself, "Wasn't she always unwilling to divorce before?!""Mr. Beckett!" Xavier's patience seemed to have reached its limit. He abruptly stood up from the sofa, putting away his usual nonchalant expression and speaking seriously. "There’s a limit to how much you can bully someone! Serena is such a good woman, and you don’t cherish her, so just let her go. Don’t waste someone else’s chance to treat her well!"With that, he turned to leave, but then stopped after a couple of steps and turned back. "By the way, that first part of the sentence, it’s Serena’s exact words.""And just so you know, I didn’t come here to talk to you. Everything I said was just a one-way notifica

Xavier scratched his messy hair, not offering further explanation, but he asked with concern, "How are you? Are you feeling better? Does your head still hurt?""Much better!" Serena explained awkwardly, "I used to drink a lot, but I guess I hadn’t done it in a while, so my body wasn’t used to it.""Well, now that no one’s restricting you, you can drink as much as you want. Just tell me, and I’ll bring you the best wine in the world!"Serena pressed her lips together, "No, no, I... ""Serena, after everything that’s happened, are you still going to push me away?!""No... it’s not that! It’s just that one shouldn’t receive a reward without merit. I can't accept such an expensive gift from you for no reason, right?""What's so expensive about it? Just a few bottles of red wine.""I know that the Blaze family is incredibly wealthy now, but..."

When Serena arrived at Clint’s company, it was exactly 9:55, neither too early nor too late.The secretary seemed to have received an advance notice from Clint and knew she was coming.Upon seeing her, he simply nodded and politely greeted her, "Good morning, Mrs. Beckett," then led her toward the CEO's office.Following behind him, Serena sarcastically thought, this title of ‘Mrs. Beckett’ would probably change hands before long."Please, Mrs. Beckett, Mr. Beckett is already waiting for you inside.""Alright, thank you!"The secretary wisely left, and Serena turned to look at the imposing, jet-black door in front of her.Finally, they had come to this day!Taking a deep breath, she raised her hand firmly and pushed the door open.Clint was sitting behind a leather executive chair, looking down at the documents on his desk.Hearing the door open, he raised his head and looked at her.

Faint, breathy moans slipped through the closed door—each one like a dagger to Serena Knowles’s heart. The unmistakable rhythm of flesh against flesh followed, shameless and raw. She froze.The sounds weren’t just loud. They were intimate. Intimate in a way only a wife should know.Serena had just come from the hospital, her hands still trembling from the news. After months of fatigue, of late periods and quiet hope, she finally had confirmation—she was two months pregnant. Two fragile, miraculous months.The doctor had warned her to be careful. Her body bore the scars of three miscarriages. “No stress,” he had said gently. “No emotional trauma.”But Serena couldn't wait. Her heart had been bursting with joy. She needed to see Clint—her husband, the man she thought would be overjoyed to hear they were finally having the baby they’d dreamed of.That joy shattered the moment she stepped into his office and heard the woman’s voice, breathless and sickeningly sweet:“Clint, you’re amazing

When Serena opened her eyes again, she was greeted by a dreamy pink light.After a momentary blur, Serena's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly rubbed her eyes.This place...?! Was it... her home? Her bedroom?!How could this be?! Hadn’t she died from massive bleeding after the miscarriage?!But this pink canopy was exactly like the one on her princess bed from her memories!Turning her head, she glanced around. Serena suddenly sat up from the bed. "This... really is my room!" She scratched her head, even more confused.How could this be? After my father passed away over a year ago, Clint sold this property to someone else...When she first found out he was selling her father’s only property, she had rushed to his office to confront him.At that time, her father had already passed, and his attitude towards her had completely changed.The warmth from before was gone, replaced by coldness and impatience in his sharp, deep eyes. "I’m selling Bram Knowles’ house! And..." His thin lips c

At the mention of ‘Beckett,’ Serena's heart skipped a beat, and her face involuntarily darkened. "Just tell him I'm not here!"Darcy nodded obediently and was about to turn away when Serena stopped her. "Wait!"She pressed her lips together, stood up, and walked toward the landline in the living room. "I’ll take it. He went to the trouble of calling the house. What if... he has an urgent matter?"Avoidance isn't the answer! In her past life, that scumbag had used her, deceived her, and ruined her life. This time, she would keep her eyes wide open and see through his tricks!"Serena!" Just two steps out the door, her father's steady voice called out from behind.Serena froze, her heart swelling with emotion. "If you're upset, just come back home. Mom and Dad will always be your strongest support!"Her eyes seemed to fill with tears again..."I know, thank you, Dad!" Serena didn’t turn back, continuing to walk forward.Bram had never had a high opinion of Clint. He felt that Clint was t

Xavier gave a faint smile, showing a set of perfectly white teeth, "Where are you going? Let me give you a ride!""No need! I can take a taxi myself!"Xavier leaned out, looked around, then said, "At this time, it’s hard to get a cab. Don’t be stubborn, just get in the car!"After a moment’s thought, Serena decided not to argue with herself, reaching out to open the passenger door.She tried a few times, but the door didn’t budge. With her arms crossed, she sarcastically looked toward the back seat, "You told me to hitch a ride, but now you’ve locked the door. What’s the meaning of this?!""Come on!" Xavier patted the seat beside him, "The back is more comfortable!"Serena blinked, speechless.The Blaze and Knowles families had been close for generations. Bram and Xavier’s father, Henry Blaze, were childhood friends who had grown up playing in the mud and climbing trees together. Later, one entered politics and became the Mayor, while the other entered business and became the Chairman

Xavier seemed to take pleasure in the moment, casually glancing in Serena’s direction.Serena silently nodded at him. Despite the tinted windows between them, she felt like he could see her.Xavier smirked, turning back casually. "What’s wrong? Didn’t Clint love you so much he divorced his wife for you? Surely he wouldn’t mind covering a tiny scratch like this. Or..." he let the pause hang, "should we call the police?""...!"Poppy’s face went pale. She hesitated, then forced a smile."Mr. Blaze, this really isn’t a big deal. No need to trouble the police. How about I just write you an IOU?""An IOU?!" Xavier looked her up and down, his tone sarcastic. "If it were someone else, fine. But Poppy Castano, your reputation in the circle isn’t so great. I can’t accept your IOU.""You!" If it were anyone else, Poppy would have snapped back, but with Xavier, who even Clint was wary of, she held her tongue.Seeing her face fall, Xavier was pleased with himself. He waved his hand.

The Art of Revenge Uninvited Guest
After hanging up the phone, Clint hurried back.When he entered the house, the butler was startled. "Mr. Beckett, how come you're back? Didn't you say you had something important tonight and would be working late, not coming back?!"Clint handed his coat to the butler without replying, and instead, asked in a low voice, "Has she come back?""She?!" The butler was confused. "Oh, Mrs. Beckett went to her family’s home and hasn’t returned for several days.""Got it," Clint replied shortly, not saying more.The butler couldn’t read his mind, so he reported proactively, "Today, Miss Castano called the house. She said she needed to see you. I told her you weren’t home, but she seemed skeptical, saying she called the Beckett Corp, and your secretary said you were at home. Is there some misunderstanding here?"Clint didn’t even turn his head, "Don’t worry about it. Next time she calls, no matter whether I’m
The Art of Revenge Trap
Xavier smirked, replying defiantly, "I’ve known Serena my whole life. I’ve seen all sides of her. Rest assured, she didn't embarrass herself in front of me, so there's no need for an apology. Besides, Serena is an independent person. If she has anything to say, she can tell me herself. There's no need for you to personally apologize to me.""Heh." A soft laugh came from the other end, and Clint fell silent again."Alright, Mr. Beckett, goodbye!" Xavier said, about to hang up."Mr. Blaze!" A hurried call came through the phone."Is there anything else?!" Xavier's brow furrowed slightly."I need to speak with Serena. Could you return her phone to her?"Xavier raised an eyebrow and glanced at Serena with a probing look, silently asking, "He wants to talk to you... you...?!"Serena, annoyed, pushed her disheveled hair behind her ear. After a moment, she stretched her hand out. "Give it to me!"Xavier didn’t stop her and handed th

Tears fell uncontrollably, and Serena sobbed as she wrapped her arms around Xavier's neck. "It's all your fault!"He was stunned for a moment, letting her pull herself closer. "Serena, what do you...?!"Serena could no longer distinguish between reality and fantasy. She just felt overwhelmed with grievance and urgently needed an outlet for her emotions.She pulled Xavier close and buried her face in his shoulder, sobbing like a wounded little animal, her shoulders shaking with each cry.A warm hand rested gently on her back, patting her soothingly, "Serena, it’s okay, don’t cry, don’t be afraid. I’m here for you."She cried for what felt like a long time, but eventually, the sobs died down.Maybe the alcohol in her system had evaporated with the tears, and she was feeling clearer.When she came to, she suddenly let go, sat up straight, and stared blankly at Xavier.He studied her eyes carefully, seemingl
The Art of Revenge Drunk
They both drank in silence, the atmosphere surprisingly harmonious and peaceful.Perhaps it had been too long since she last had a drink, but after just one cup, Serena felt her head starting to spin.She stood up, intending to pour herself another drink. However, her steps were unsteady, and she stumbled back into the lazy sofa.Xavier saw this and quickly put down his glass, walking over to her. “Stop drinking. You’re already a little drunk.”“I’m not drunk!” Serena waved her hand in protest, “I have a high alcohol tolerance! Come on, pour me some more!”“You can’t drink anymore!” Xavier reached to take the glass from her hand, but she quickly dodged him.Laughing lightly, he said with a tone of indulgence, “You’re so drunk you can’t stand, but your hands are still so nimble…”“Drunk? Who’s drunk?! I’ll tell you, I’m famous for

"Ah!" Serena wobbled in her high heels, losing balance and stumbling forward. She squeezed her eyes shut, bracing for the impact.But before she could fall, a warm hand caught her firmly at the small of her back, steadying her.She blinked her eyes open and found herself staring into Xavier’s dark, amused gaze.Her heart thumped. Quickly regaining her posture, she shoved him away and cleared her throat, her voice laced with embarrassment. “Seriously? You live here and still manage to bump into someone?”Xavier grinned, smug. “Excuse me? You’re the one who turned around and crashed into me. What was I supposed to do—vanish?”“I moved so you could open the door.”“My door’s never locked. You know that.”Serena scowled. “The last time I was here was years ago. How was I supposed to know you still haven’t kicked that habi
