Chapter 370: Upon hearing Divya's words, Xander couldn't help but be amused.
He smoothed the lock of red hair on his head and replied nonchalantly, “Me, being reasonable? Never. If it's rationality you seek, go to my brother. As for me, I follow my whims.
I cling to what pleases me, and discard what obstructswithout a second thought. Your son, unfortunately, was both displeasing and obstructive, so naturally, I had to kick him aside." Flashing a mischievous grin, Xander added, "Do you find fault with that?" Divya was taken aback. Confronted with Xander's brazen and unpredictable demeanor, and knowing the McCoy family's inability to contend with the influential Hoffmans, she saw avoidance as their only recourse.

Xander posed a greater challenge than Divya and Zayn.
While the latter two could be openly reprimanded, Xander required a more cautious approach. Not only did she not dare to offend him, but she also had to cater to him.
Any displeasure he harbored could lead to drastic measures against the Nash family.
As Divya and Zayn exited, Xander's mood visibly brightened. He lounged on the sofa, legs casually crossed, and commanded, "Tell Tiffany to cdown. I wish to see her." Hannah managed a forced smile and said, “Mr. Hoffman, Tiffany isn't feeling well today. She can't cdown." "What did you just say?" Xander's expression soured. He was taken aback by the rejection. "Are you tellingTiffany doesn't want to see me?" With caution, Hannah responded, “Mr. Hoffman, Tiffany is really unwell. Perhaps you could visit another time?" In a sudden outburst, Xander slapped the armrest of the sofa, visibly upset. "Enough with the excuses! I don't care if she's sick or not. As long as she's breathing, she needs to meethere!" Hannah inhaled deeply, trying once more to reason with Xander. "Mr. Hoffman, did you chere to propose to Tiffany? Honestly, it might be best to reconsider. Our families aren't on the slevel." Xander's patience seemed to thin. Angrily, he ran his fingers through his red hair and remained silent. Persisting, Hannah added earnestly, "Mr. Hoffman, your family holds significant power in this city. Our family is quite modest, and Tiffany is already a mother of two. Your brother would never consent to this marriage." "Enough!" Xander scowled, interrupting her. “Who said anything about marriage? I choose to be single all my life and have no plans to marry!" Hearing this, Hannah let out a sigh of relief. "Then, why do you want to see Tiffany?" "I want her to draw something for me. I plan to give it to someone else," Xander explained.
Hearing that, Hannah breathed easier. It was a relief that Xander hadn't cwith intentions of proposing. No parents would dare to marry their daughter to someone like him. Getting Marissa to draw for him shouldn't pose a problem.
However, after pondering for a moment, Hannah still resisted the urge to call Marissa down.

Marissa was a legend in the art world. Any piece she crafted started at two hundred million it wasn't fitting for such a master to just casually draw for others. Moreover, it was clear Xander intended to acquire one of Marissa's artworks for free.
As Hannah hesitated, Xander's patience wore thin. He slammed his hand on the armrest of the sofa, bellowing, "What are you waiting for? Are you trying to forceto demolish your villa?"
