“Mr. Lestrange, you flatter me! May I ask what brings you here today?”

Veronica greeted Levi with a polite and poised demeanor. Despite facing

such a high–ranking official, she remained calm and composed, displaying

the grace of a skilled diplomat.

“Ms. Veronica, Ms. Xylie Tanner heard that Mr. Chapman was shot last night at

Hunter’s Den. She came specifically to check on his condition,” Levi explained

as he introduced Xylie.

Xylie stepped forward, her face slightly flushed as she shyly smiled. “Hello, Ms.

Veronica.”

And that was it. She didn’t say anything more.

The truth was that Xylie had no real emotional connection to Nation THEY

had met once in Yeternia, and all she knew was that he had many diffends

Other than that, she knew little about him.

“Hello, Ms. Xylie,” Veronica greeted her warmly, maintaining her grace coste

observed the young woman who was to be her future sister–in–law Evie was

a simple and introverted girl, the epitome of a modest and traditionalcay-

perfect for a wife. The only flaw Veronica noted was that Xylie locked the

boldness and presence needed to handle large–scale family matters for the

Chapmans.

Sensing the lull in the conversation, Levi quickly interjected, “Woy lost how Mr.

Chapman’s injuries are? Could Ms. Tanner visit him to express her concem?

between the Tanner and Chapman families, securing the Chapman farity’s

support for bigger plans. However, Veronica gently declined, I’m sorry, but

Nathan is still unconscious from the gunshot wound, so he cannot receive

visitors.”

“Is that so?” Levi frowned slightly, frustrated by Veronica’s evasiveness. Her

excuse was flawless, leaving him without room to argue. He could only say,

“Then please, Ms. Veronica, when Mr. Chapman wakes up, do inform us

immediately. After all, the wedding is at the end of the month, and we need

to finalize the details as soon as possible.”

“Of course,” Veronica replied, her expression calm as she spoke to Levi,

though her eyes remained fixed on Xylie’s face. “However, given Nathan’s

condition, it’s uncertain when he’ll regain consciousness. If he doesn’t wake

up soon, the wedding might have to be postponed.”

At these words, Xylie’s eyes brightened noticeably, and her delicate hands,

clenched into small fists.

Veronica, ever astute, immediately understood the meaning behind Xylie’s

body language. She was hoping for the wedding to be delayed–or perhaps,

not happen at all.

Lovi, however, was growing anxious and pressed Veronica. “Ms. Veronica,

what exactly is Mr. Chapman’s condition? The Tanner family knows many

ronowned doctors. If necessary, we can arrange for a consultation

immediately to ensure Mr. Chapman recovers as soon as possible!”

“Thank you, Mr. Lestrange. We appreciate the Tanner family’s generosity,

Veronica responded diplomatically. “Our family’s best doctors are already

consulting on Nathan’s case. If he isn’t better within a week, we’ll gladly

“A week? That’s too long. This can’t be delayed. If Mr. Chapman isn’t awake in

three days, we’ll bring in our medical team to treat him,” Levi declared,

unwilling to be swayed. His experience in negotiation was clear–he wasn’t

going to be easily stalled by Veronica’s polite deflections.

“Very well, then. If there’s no improvement in three days, I’ll contact the

Tanner family,” Veronica agreed, understanding this was a compromise they

both had to make.

Emmanuel could no longer remain silent. He stopped forward and called out,

“Xylie!”

Instantly, the quiet and reserved young lady looked up in exciternent, even

taking a few quick steps toward him, exclaiming “Emmanuel!”

Seeing the scene unfold, Veronica and Levi had quite the reaction. Veronica

wasn’t sure which woman her brother was truly interested in, but one thing

was clear–Xylis wasn’t in love with Nathan, she was clearly in love with

Emmanuel,

Levi, on the other hand, stepped forward, blocking Xylie and sternly

addressing Emmanuel, “Mr. Lowe, 1 see you’re here de well. However, Ms.

Tanner is engaged to Mr. Chapman, so I must ask that you keep your

distance. Thank you”

“And what if i don’t?” Emmanusl never liked to compromise when dealing with

opponents, and he certainly wasn’t going to start now. His response was icy

and defiant.

“In that case, I’ll have no choice but to take Ms. Tanner back with me

immediately!” Levi snapped his fingers, and several bodyguards quickly

stepped forward,

Xylie’s expression immediately shifted to one of disappointment and anxiety.

She looked at Emmanuel, desperately wanting to catch up with him. Luckily,

Emmanuel wasn’t one to let her down. Stepping in front of Levi, he asked Xylie

directly, Xylie, I’d like to speak with you. Do you want to?”

ervously toward Levi, fearing what he might do in response.

“Alright, let’s gor Emmanuel didn’t waste any time. He grabbed Xylie’s hand

and started to walk away, only to be surrounded by Levi’s men.

Emmanuel remained unfazed, his eyes sharp and his voice as cold as steel.

The bodyguards hesitated, their eyes on Levi. They were highly trained

professionals, but they had never encountered someone so brazen in front of

Levi and his team. Ernmanuel’s boldness was staggering.

Levi’s face darkened, and after a tense moment, he gritted his teeth and

relented, “I’ll give you thirty minutes–no more. Any longer, and you’ll bear the

consequences.”

He knew there was no way his men could stop Emmanuel, so his words were

more about saving face. At the same time, it put pressure on Xylie. He knew

Emmanuel wouldn’t care about their threats, but she might.

Sure enough, Emmanuel ignored him completely, but Xylie seemed a little

anxious as she followed Emmanuel out of the building.

Veronica watched the whole scene with a thoughtful smile playing on her

lips. Even she wouldn’t have dared to show such disrespect toward Levi, yet

Emmanuel treated him like he was nothing. Her brother’s master was

ertainly bold.

Once outside, Emmanuel led Xylie to a quiet lawn away from prying eyes and

finally released her hand. “Xylie, tell me the truth–what’s the story behind

your engagement to Nathan?”

He had known about this back when they were in Yeternia, but at the time, he

hadn’t cared enough to dig deeper. Now, with everything at stake, he needed

to know the truth.

Xylie bit her lip, remembering Levi’s stern warning, and felt a wave of fear.

“You don’t want to tell me?” Emmanuel asked, his voice softening

“No, no!” Xylie hurriedly waved her hands, her delicate fingers trembing

Emmanuel could see the fear in her eyes and decided not to push her

further, giving her time to gather herself. After all, Xylie wasn’t like wornen

such as Veronica or Hattie, who had grown up in wealth and power,

strong–willed and fearless. Xylie was different–raised in poverty, she’d

suddenly found herself thrust into the role of the Tanner family’s puppet,

destined to marry into one of the richest families. It was only natural that she

felt lost and frightened.

Taking a deep breath, Xylie finally spoke. “As you already know, my parents in

Yeringham were just my adoptive parents. My real father’s name is Colin

“Colin Tanner?” Emmanuel’s eyebrows furrowed at the mention of the name.

He never would have guessed. Xylie was actually the daughter of Teddy’s

older brother! The revelation was nothing short of dramatic.
