Chapter 16
Xavier's eyes were cold as he addressed Timothy. "Who gave you the permission to contact a lawyer for her?"
Timothy stood frozen, his face pale as he lowered his head, unable to say anything but feeling deeply wronged.
Two years ago, when Lily married Xavier, Bobby had begun using their relationship for his own gain.
Lily wasn't involved in the business world, so Bobby bypassed her and went directly to Xavier.
At first, Xavier had entertained it, but as Bobby made more and more requests, Xavier grew tired and handed
the responsibility to Timothy to deal with.
After Timothy took over, he did what he could to help Bobby when it benefited the Joyner family.
What had started as professional slowly morphed into personal matters. Timothy had asked Xavier's permission,

simply taken care of it.
He had forgotten that Lily and Xavier were in the middle of a divorce.
The conversation that had just transpired between them shook Timothy to his core, each word they exchanged
rattling him.
He had tried to speak up, but neither of them had given him a chance.
"Givethe phone." Xavier extended his hand towards Timothy.
Lily's heart lurched, and her hands instinctively grabbed Xavier's wrist. "Xavier-"

The loud noise startled Lily, and she instinctively moved closer to Xavier.
In the next moment, Xavier shoved her aside, causing her to stumble and crash painfully into the edge of the

broke out on her forehead.
Xavier, however, was already turning away. He rushed toward the door.
"What happened to Sarah?" he called, his tone frantic as he disappeared down the hall.
Lily stood frozen, her mind spinning. Xavier had already left his office and got out of Lily's sight.
He was gone. He left in such a hurry that there was no tfor him to help with hiring Alan for Hayden.
If she could just get to the law office and sign the retainer agreement, Alan would have no choice but to take
Hayden's case.
"Timothy, thank you."

As she hurried out of Nova Group, she saw Xavier's Maybach pulling out of the underground garage. She could
faintly see his face through the tinted window. He was stressed and preoccupied. The car brushed past her, and
she wasn't sure if he had seen her. Maybe he had, but he was too focused on whatever was happening with
Sarah to pay attention to her.
She couldn't help but feel a strange sense of gratitude toward Sarah at this moment-her
® crisis had given Lily the chance to save Hayden.
Shaking off her thoughts, Lily hailed an Uber and headed straight for Jiang's house.
When she arrived, only Hazel was at home.
Seeing Lily return, Hazel rushed up to her. "Did you manage to get Mr. Siester?"
