Chapter 477
They remained in a silent stare, Alexander did not to speak further. With a breeze, a faint scent of roses drifted into Quinn's nostrils, momentarily distracting her. He closed the car door and returned to the driver's seat, driving Quinn back.
Quiet for the entire journey, upon her return, Quinn locked herself away in her room. She still intended to flee because of her unfamiliar feelings for this place. She was scared as the surrounding scene was totally unfamiliar.
Alexander looked terrible, and both Miller and Moore dared not speak to him, feeling like he could kill someone at any moment.
He sat in the living room with a gloomy expression, smoking. The ashtray quickly filled up.
A visitor arrived at the door-an apprehensive Miller approached, "Sir, a gentleman named Xavier is here to see you."
As the words left his mouth, Xavier entered and sat directly across from Alexander without a word.
Alexander raised an eyebrow, leaning back on the couch. "What brings my brother-in-law here?"
After a brief pause, Xavier spoke frankly, " State your terms. What do you want me to do?"
The evidence still rested in Alexander's hands, so Xavier had come to discuss terms.
One leg casually crossed over the other; Alexander calmly remarked, "Since my brother-in-law has spoken this way, you must have the chips ready."
With a self-deprecating chuckle, Xavier responded, "What other chips do I have? Nothing but withdrawing the lawsuit. Although there's no clear evidence of murder against Freya, her kidnapping of Valerie is an undeniable fact; she can't be acquitted."
"This hardly qualifies as effective chip. Even if you don't withdraw the case, she would only be charged with abduction in the end."
"What do you want?"
Casually tapping the couch with his finger, after a pause, Alexander gazed at Xavier. "I want all shares currently held by the Xavier family."

Xavier's pupils dilated, and he contained his anger as he retorted, "You are pushing it too far!"Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Alexander's lips curved slightly. "This is the only condition you can discuss with me. As for Freya, she does not need your concern."
The sound of Xavier's fingers squeezing could be heard as he stared fixedly at the man before him. "How is this any different from wiping us out completely?"
"You might consider this, brother-in-law, when you are imprisoned, the legacy of the Xavier family may not endure. It's better to relinquish it to preserve your own life. Who knows, there might be a chance for a fresh start in the future." Finding the notion ludicrous, Xavier scoffed at the idea of a fresh start; surrendering the shares meant no chance of beginning anew.
Alexander's actions clearly indicated a deliberate attempt to crush him, ensuring that he had no chance of starting anew, thereby eliminating any future threat and denying him any opportunity to recover. "So, there is no room for negotiation, is that it?"

Xavier's expression shifted as he abruptly chuckled, "It seems you are already aware."
Alexander remained silent, calmly observing Xavier.
Continuing to smile, Xavier remarked, "I'm clearly not cut out for your games. It's disheartening to think - I only meant to seek vengeance for my family, yet I've been manipulated back and forth by all of you." "Indeed, I orchestrated Juliet's death, and I'm also the one who sent the messages to Quinn."
He became so excited that he blurted out everything he had done. He became so excited that he blurted out everything he had done, including the recent scandals, all of which he had orchestrated. Behind Xavier, there was another mastermind, but that person hadn't acted yet.
In fact, there were many scandals that Xavier hadn't released because Alexander had intercepted them, such as the news of his marriage.
Juliet's suicide was self-inflicted but indirectly caused by him.
