âYes, Colin Tanner,â Xylle said softly, her head lowered, her eyes glimmering
with a touch of sadness. âAfter we returned from Yeternia, the Tanner family
took me back to Zovince. Thatâs when I met my uncle, Teddy, He was very
kind to me, always wearing a gentle smile. It was he who told me that I was
the daughter of his late brother, Colin.â
Emmanuel didnât interrupt her story, even though he didnât believe Teddy was
as benevolent as he appeared. He just wanted to hear the full story first.
âTwenty years ago, there was a tragedy within the Tanner family,â Xylie
continued. âMy father was killed under mysterious circumstances, but before
his death, he made arrangements to have me taken far away from Zovince
to Nuthana to escape our familyâs enemies. Uncle Teddy later took control of

that I could come back and live a good life, the life my father would have
wanted for me.â
She finished the story, though it was clear she didnât know all the details.
Emmanuel didnât press her for more but instead asked, âHave you heard that
Teddy might have killed your father to take control of the familyâs vast
empire?â
Xylie nodded slightly. âIâm not completely naive. Since returning to Zovince, I
havenât had to go to school or work, and though Iâve been watched most of
the time, Iâve managed to learn a lot about the Tanner family. Iâve heard
whispers of what you just said, but Iâve kept my own opinion. Uncle Teddy has
shown me photos and records, proving that he and my father had a clase
relationship. Heâs always been so kind to me that I find it hard to believe those
rumors.â

evidence of Teddy killing his brother. Even if there had been whispers back
then, no one had ever produced real proof.
âIs that what you wanted to tell me, Emmanuel?â Xylie asked, her curiosity
piqued. âWhy are you in Zovince?â
Women, even shy and reserved ones, were always curious about the men
they admired, and Xylie was no different.
âOne of the main reasons Iâm here is to deal with Teddy Tanner,â Emmanuel
replied, not hiding his intentions.
âWhat?â Xylieâs eyes widened in shoek:
âYes, I donât believe Teddy is a good man, and we have a deeper grudge

Forget my opinion for a moment. What do you want?â Emmanuel looked at
her seriously.
The truth was, the man she wanted to marry was standing right in front of
her, but he was already married. It was an impossible dream. So, in her mind,
it didnât really matter whom she married.

Nathan wasnât a bad person. Yes, he had a wandering eye, but his character
wasnât terrible, and he wasnât unattractive. She didnât really mind the idea of
marrying him. But now, with Emmanuelâs disapproval, she didnât know how to
spond.

Emmanuel found himself at a loss for words. Like most men, he wasnât sure
how to handle it when a woman said, âI donât know.â
âThis engagement⦠it didnât originally belong to me,â Xylie finally answered
Emmanuelâs first question. âThe Chapman and Tanner families had been
planning a partnership for a while, but Yuna looked down on Nathan. She

so thatâs how it isâ¦â Emmanuel nodded, confirming his earlier suspicions.
Xylieâs answer fit perfectly with what he had already guessed.
âEmmanuel, after talking with you today, Iâll definitely keep a closer eye on my
uncle Teddy. If he really is a bad person, I promise I wonât help him,â Xylie said,
offering her assurance.
âThank you, Xylie,â Emmanuel smiled gratefully. âBut when it comes to your
marriage, I still hope you can make your own decision. I wish for you to marry
the man you truly love and find happiness.â
âMmâ¦â Xylie nodded, then lowered her head shyly, her eyes stealing a gla

at Emmanuel, a soft sigh echoing in her heart. Will I ever be able to marry the
man I truly love?
After their conversation, Emmanuel prepared to leave the Chapman familyâs
hospital. As for the marriage between Nathan and Xylie, he had made his
stance clear. Whether or not the two families went through with it was up to
them. If the alliance between the Chapman and Tanner families succeeded,
he would be unable to stop Catherine from becoming president. In that case,
his only remaining option would be to assassinate Teddy, avenging his fallen
comrades from the Wolf Warrior Unit.
Ashton seemed to still be with Nathan, so Emmanuel left the private hospital
alone. He intended to head back and video chat with his wife to check in on
the situation in the West End, but along the way, a black car suddenly
blocked his path. Emmanuel frowned. Even Levi wouldnât dare stop him, so

who could it be? Moreover, the person seemed to have anticipated his route,
intercepting him on a nearly deserted road. Whoever it was, they were bound
to be troublesome.
When the car window rolled down, and he saw the familiar eyes of the
person inside, Emmanuelâs expression relaxed into a knowing smile. Suddenly,
it all made sense.
âWell, if it isnât the genius strategist? Whatâs up?â
âIâve come to give you some information I know youâll want,â Magnus adjusted
his glasses with a confident grin.
âIs that so? Now youâve got me curious. What is this information you think I
want?â Emmanuelâs curiosity was piqued. He knew all too well the capabilities
