Timothy immediately reported to Xavier that Bruce had gone looking for Lily.
"How many people are watching over Lily?" Navier asked, his deep voice calm but tense "Two," Timothy replied.
He snapped a contract shut and threw it onto the table with a sharp thud. "Fire them."
Timothy was puzzled.
Did we hire them to watch a show?" Xavier's temper began to rise
He had assigned people to keep an eye on things precisely to prevent Bruce from approaching Lily. And what
happened? Terence beat him to it and saved her instead.

Timothy had no defense. The men stationed outside noticed Bruce's approach and immediately informed him.
But since Xavier was in a meeting, they hesitated to interrupt. That brief delay was enough for Terence to act
first
He thought that since it was already late, he might as well delay the report a little longer. As a result, he ended
up losing out entirely.
"Where's Lily now? Kavier asked again.
"She's having a meal with the Devereux family" Timothy replied.
Xander's eyes narrowed sharply. "With the Devereux family?
"Yes. Besides Mr. Devereux, Mrs Devereux Senior and Ms. Devereux are also there," Timothy reported truthfully.
Great Not only had she grown close to Terence, but she was also mingling with his entire family. Xavier's jaw
tightened, his side profilesharp and rigid as anger flared. Suddenly, there was a knock on the officedoor. Sarah
peeked in. "Xavier, do you have tfor lunch today? Xyla has been asking to have lunch with you."

Sensing that something was off in the atmosphere, she glanced between Xavier and Timothy. "I'll take care of it."
"Let him handle it, Xavier interrupted. "You can choose wherever you like."
"Got it!" Timothy quickly left, confirming the restaurant where Lily was dining with the Devereux family and
making a reservation.

"Next tyou're free, cby the house for a meal | remember you liked my garlic crab. I'll cook it for you,"
Marika said warmly.
Lily often visited the Devereux residence during her university years with Maryanne. Marika had always liked her.
Whenever Lily cover, she prepared meals.
Lily smiled and nodded. "Sure, I'll visit often. | hope you won't get tired of seeing me."
*Never. When you're not around, Maryanne keeps pestering me. If you come, maybe she'll givea break"
Marika joked affectionately.
Maryanne, too focused on eating, pulled a funny face, prompting a round of laughter in the private room.
Just then, the door swung open, and Xavier stepped in, a faint smile playing on his lips. Behind him were two
women, and the whole scene exuded an air of smug confidence as though he had the world in his grasp *Just as |
