GoodReadXavier's sudden arrival plunged the meeting room into a tense silence once more. Xavier hastily stood up and
tugged at his sleeve, asking, "Why have you come?" Xavier, glaring furiously at Xavier, snapped, "What are you
doing here?"
"I'm here to reason with him. Do you expectto stand by and watch you go to prison?" Xavier retorted.
Through gritted teeth, Xavier replied, " So what if | go to prison? | will never hand over the Xavier family to such
a person. Cback with me!" He grabbed Kaitlyn's wrist, intent on leaving.
Frantic, Xavier grabbed Xavier's arm, pleading, "Xavier, don't act rashly. Can't we sit down and discuss this
properly?"
Cynically chuckling, Xavier retorted, "What's there to talk about? It's all just self-inflicted humiliation no matter
how much we talk."
"If I lose, then so be it. | accept defeat! If it means jail or even execution, | accept it! It's just one life. | can afford
to lose it. But | will never, under any circumstances, entrust the entire Xavier family to someone like him. Mom, if
you truly care for me, cwithand never cto see this person again!"
Upon hearing this, Xavier burst into tears instantly. She forcefully shook off Xavier's hand and slapped him across
the face.
With a sharp "smack," the sound of the slap echoed through the conference room, silencing everyone present.

streaked, weary face betrayed her disappointment and anger.
She said word by word, "You are such a jerk. Have you ever thought about me? About your dad?"
"What do you mean by 'just one life'? Isn't your life also part of ours? Joseph and Deborah are already gone. Do
you want your father andto endure the pain of losing a child again? " Her words pierced the air, laden with
raw emotion. Xavier looked slightly bewildered, his expression a mix of emotions as he gazed at his mother
whose chest rose and fell heavily. Her eyes bloodshot with grief and indignation.
"Alright, if you can't let this go, your father and I will go down with you. Whoever wants this Xavier family, take
it!"
"Mom!"
Xavier pushed him away. "Don't callmom. In your eyes, when have | ever been a mother to you? You only
think about yourself, never once considering our feelings." "You disregard your parents’ feelings. Xavier, this is
not how you concede defeat." Xavier almost cried out the final words.
Xavier stood dumbfounded in the meeting room, unsure of what to do next.
He was torn between his parents and his enemy.
His mother was pressuring him to submit to his enemies. What was he supposed to do?
Surely, he couldn't actually have his parents go down with him.
Closing his eyes, Xavier, who had not shed a tear at the loss of his wife and child, now found tears streaming
down his face in the face of his relentless mother.
He turned away, concealing his disheveled state from Alexander's view.
He never imagined he would lose so miserably, appearing so feeble.
Meanwhile, a knock on the door interrupted the scene. It was Landon entering with documents in hand,
seemingly oblivious to the tension in the office as he strode over to Alexander.
"I've been looking for you, Alexander. It seems | have arrived at an inconvenient time." Landon remarked.
Glancing at him, Alexander casually inquired, "Is there an urgent matter at hand, Landon?"
Landon responded, "Have you
