Xu Chong's daughter spun around.
Xu Chiye stood behind her.
His gaze was icy.
A cold smirk played on his lips.
Xu Chong's daughter stumbled backward in fear.
"I... I need to go..."
Xu Chiye let out a scornful laugh.
He pointed at Zhang Hao and his mother.
"You brought them here, didn't you?"
"If you're leaving, take them with you."
Xu Chong immediately looked at his daughter.
His eyes burned with anger.
His daughter frantically waved her hands.
"It wasn't me..."
Xu Chiye made a gesture.
A server stepped forward with a camera.
The video clearly showed it.
Xu Chong's daughter bribing the server.
She led Zhang Hao and his mother in through the staff entrance.
Her face turned deathly pale.
She suddenly pointed at Xu Panjiao.
"She told me to do it!"
Xu Panjiao immediately denied it.
"You're lying!"
"Why would I ever do such a thing?"
Xu Panjiao looked at Mr.Valentine.
Her eyes welled up with tears.
"Uncle, please believe me."
"The Xu family raised me. I would never be so ungrateful."
Mr.Valentine gave a cold laugh.
Without proof.
He couldn't move against Xu Panjiao yet.
Xu Chiye frowned.
"Panjiao, I believe you."
He turned to Xu Chong.
"Uncle Xu, your daughter plotted against the Xu family like this."
"Does she have no respect for Third Uncle?"
Cold sweat dripped down Xu Chong's forehead.
He knew the situation was grave.
He rushed to his daughter.
And slapped her hard across the face.
"Shut up!"
The slap was vicious.
The girl spat out two bloody teeth.
Xu Chong bowed to Mr.Valentine.
"Third Master, I failed to teach my daughter properly."
"I will send her abroad immediately for... experience."
Mr.Valentine rubbed his jade thumb ring.
His tone was flat.
"She is still young. Experience is indeed needed."
"GMR is a good choice. She can study there."
Xu Chong's pupils constricted.
GMR was a war zone.
Sending her there was a death sentence.
But he didn't dare object.
"You are absolutely right."
"I will arrange the paperwork immediately."
Mr.Valentine smiled faintly.
"I will have someone assist with the visa."
A chill ran down Xu Chong's spine.
This cut off all his escape routes.
He dragged his daughter away hurriedly.
Mr.Valentine looked at Zhang Hao and his mother.
His voice turned frigid.
"Since you are family to Zhizhi."
"The Xu family will extend you every hospitality."
Zhang Hao wet his pants in fear.
His mother, however, beamed with joy.
"That's more like it, we're all family now..."
They were led away.
Mr.Valentine raised his glass.
"Everyone, a toast to my daughter's return."
The hall fell silent.
No one dared utter another word of dissent.
Evelyn Ross looked at Mr.Valentine.
Her expression was complex.
This man.
He held the power of life and death so effortlessly.
The banquet concluded smoothly.
Guests began to depart.
Xu Chiye ran up to Evelyn.
"Little sister, ride home with me?"
Evelyn shook her head.
"I'm returning to the Nan residence."
"Chloe is shy. Moving isn't convenient right now."
"And I have matters to attend to."
Xu Chiye said urgently.
"Cortez Sect matters?"
"I'll take you to meet the Sect Leader tomorrow."
Evelyn nodded.
"Alright."
Elsewhere.
Marcus Valentine looked at Mina Sherwood.
"Still not coming home tonight?"
Mina lowered her eyes.
"I'll return after the baby is three months old."
"How many days left?"
"Three or four."
Mina looked up.
"Marcus, see you at the hospital in four days."
