Chapter 73
When Xavier had arrived at Glenview Villa, he'd realized that the place Sarah had chosen to live in was his and
Lily's former marital home.
This was the first the'd visited since the renovation. The style was decent, but unfortunately, Sarah was
already living here. Every corner of the place bore her mark.
He did indeed have mysophobia; he couldn't live in a house that had been inhabited by someone else, especially
not as a marital home. There was no need to ask Sarah to leave. He didn't want to prepare another house for
her.
But Lily was here as the designer to take measurements.
The surprise in his eyes faded, and his brow furrowed instinctively.
"Xavier, these are the designers from Lupier. This is Ms. Cooper and Ms. Joyner."
Sarah walked up behind Xavier, resting her hands casually on the back of the couch, her posture intimate.
Nadia couldn't contain her excitement-so it was true that Xavier and Sarah were a couple! She knew the secret
but didn't dare to speak out. "Hello, Mr. Fulton."
Lily, standing beside her, struggled to hold back tears. She didn't want to lose her composure and make a scene
here.
Aside from a brief look of surprise when he first saw her, he showed no guilt or unease.
By now, his expression was back to normal, and his lips curled into a cold, indifferent smile.

"Ladies, which one of you is the lead designer?"
Nadia didn't want to reveal any personal tension in front of Xavier. She quickly looked at Lily. "Ms. Joyner is our
lead designer. Lupier is currently cultivating new talent."
The design fee for this house was at least several hundred thousand dollars, and it would easily reach seven
figures, including the materials. This was considered a major project in the design world.
Even if Xavier was unfamiliar with design, he knew that a company wouldn't entrust a project worth millions to
someone without confidence in their abilities-unless someone had deliberately promoted a newcomer.
If the project failed, someone else would step in. If it succeeded, the newcomer would beca rising star.
He immediately thought of Terence.
Xavier leaned back on the couch, his fingers gently massaging his wrist as he looked Lily up and down.
"Talent? What makes you think she's talented, Ms. Cooper? What sets Ms. Joyner apart?"
Nadia froze.
The title "Ms. Joyner" sounded so mocking to Lily's ears. In his eyes, she was nothing more than a housewife. To
associate such a lofty title with her was a joke. It didn't matter.
No matter who designed this house, it would be renovated and remodeled. Whether she felt heartache or not
was irrelevant. Face and pride didn't matter.
What mattered was that she needed to stand tall before Xavier and not let him hurt her with his words.
"My graduation project won an award, and | received many other awards during my university years."
He suddenly laughed. He stood up, hands in his pockets, and walked over to Lily.
He was taller than her, looking down at her condescendingly.

Did she think she'd becimportant just because she wore a suit and had worked at Lupier for two days?
The overwhelming air of superiority surrounded her. She could see her reflection in his eyes. She gritted her
teeth and met his gaze.
Nadia hadn't expected things to go so awry with Xavier. She quickly moved to Sarah's side. "Ms. Lynde, please
try to persuade Mr. Fulton..."
At the very least, she needed Lily to

His intense gaze remained fixed on Lily. Her small, delicate face was pale, her glossy eyes dark and filled with
stubbornness.
