I took a deep breath and said with a straight face, “Madam, since everything has
been cleared up, don’t you think you owe us an apology?”
The woman who was about to leave the scene spun around in shock, fixed her
gaze on me. said, “Apologize for what? You just can't let it go, huh?”
and
She had this bossy attitude, as if we were the ones causing trouble on purpose.
I shielded Jason by my side and insisted, “You need to apologize to my uncle.”
The woman rolled up her sleeves, ready to retort, but was interrupted by a new
voice.
“Mom, what's going on here?”
That voice sounded so familiar.
I followed the sound and immediately saw the Maybach parked on the side of the
road.
And there were Hogan and Cecilia, standing in front of the car.
Hogan was carrying two bottles of expensive wine, looking exactly like a son-in—
law visiting for the first time.
Suddenly, it hit me why the location of my uncle’s workplace had seemed familiar
at first glance.
Cecilia lived here too.
Clearly, this middle-aged woman was Cecilia's mom, Sibyl Irwin.
Cecilia, dressed in a light blue knit dress and black boots, walked up to me and
asked in surprise. “Xaviera, what are you guys doing here?”
Upon hearing this, Sibyl gave me a wary glance, adjusted her slightly ill-fitting
Chanel jacket. and said, “Cecilia, is this the Xaviera you often talk about?”
Cecilia's expression froze for a second before returning to normal, saying, “Yes,
Xaviera has always been very helpful to me at work.”
Sibyl took another look at me, her tone noticeably warmer, “Ms. March, I don’t
know you are my daughter's colleague. Please don’t take offense.”
With her saying that, if I kept pushing the issue, I'd just come off as someone
who can’t take a step back even when I'm in the right.
Thinking about how my uncle still needed to work here, I decided to downplay the
situation, “It's all a misunderstanding; it's good that it's resolved.”
Sibyl visibly breathed a sigh of relief, quickly shifting her gaze to Hogan, smiling
as she said. “Cecilia, is this Mr. Zade?”

Hogan was in a dark patterned sult that day, looking sharp, and with his striking
features, it made Sibyl smile from ear to ear.
No wonder, with Hogan's assets, there weren't many future mothers—in—-law who
wouldn't be pleased.
Hogan also adopted the humble demeanor of a prospective son-in-law, politely
greeting her, “Hello, Mrs. Sibyl.”
As he spoke, Jason by my side stiffened visibly. I belatedly realized and grabbed
his arm, saying, “We have other things to take care of, so we won't disturb you
any longer.”
But Jason didn't want to leave, glaring fiercely at Hogan.
His eyes were undisguised with loathing, and he wasn't trying to hide it.
Hogan, keenly aware of the challenging glare, frowned slightly.
I felt a pang of anxiety, breaking out in a cold sweat, and could only plead,
“Uncle, I'm hungry.”
Hearing this, Jason reacted as if struck by lightning, reluctantly looked away, and
his expression softened a bit as he glanced at me with concern.
That was the first thing I said when I woke up after that incident.
Out of the blue. Cecilia offered, “Xaviera, if you don’t mind, why don’t we have
lunch at my place? My dad's cooking is really good.”
1 was at a loss for words.
What was she up to, inviting us like this?
After a moment, it dawned on me; she was probably just being polite, especially
in front of Hogan.
But this time, Jason, with a stern face, said, “No need, I will cook for Xaviera.”
His tone was so firm it was almost rigid,

I choked down a bite of food, feeling a dense throb of pain in my chest, almost
suffocating.
On the way back, I immediately called Wallis.
“Reach out to Frank proactively?” Wallis was puzzled, “But would a big shot like

I was calm, “We have to give it a try.”
It was only by trying that we would know if there was another possibility.
