The wind seemed to stop and the laughter of the children faded away the moment their eyes mat 

As the world around her fell silent, the words Emelie had said when she had chased after him echoed in her ears. 

“If you leave this time, I won’t chase after you anymore, Wesley” 

“Eme,” the man said. 

Emelie’s throat felt constricted, and it took her a long time to finally respond. “Wesley” 

Wesley was back 

A lot happened that night on the tenth of January. 

Ashley discovered her surprise pregnancy, as was caught in an affair, Emelie found out she wasn’t her parents‘ biological daughter, and Wesley suddenly appeared. 

Meanwhile, William met with Jayden at the Westward Club to discuss a little–known incident of the past. 

“You’ve been visiting Weston frequently before the New Year. When I went to Cloudex to look for you, Mr. Rushton said you were investigating Weston. What investigation were you conducting? You were just trying to get close to Ms. Hoven, right? You even got Lyle to help you,” Jayden said, exposing William 

The Westward Club was closed that night, William and Jayden sat at the bar, with Lyle as their bartender. 

Although William had taken off his suit jacket and was wearing only a shirt and vest, he still looked as dignified and elegant as ever. 

He glanced down at his phone, where Elias bad texted him asking if he wanted to go out for a drink. 

He sent him the location of the Westward Club, and Els replied, “Olay.” 

As Jayden swirled his drink, he teased William, “I told you you’d regret how you treated Ms. Hoven before. Is karma hitting you now? Do you need some tips on how to win her 

Willam put down his phone, calmly saying, “Thanks, but I’ve already won her over.” 

While Lyle knew about it, it was surprising news to Jayden “You’ve already won her over?” 

William rested his chin on his hand and repbed, “She’s wearing my wedding ring now. You can see for yourself the next time you see her.‘ 

That was news to Lyle. 

He stopped mixing the cocktail and stared at William together with jayden. Once they confirmed he wasn’t joking, Jayden laughed, impressed. 

“Did you go all in because you’re afraid she’d run away again? Not bad! You did everything so quickly. So, why did you want to meet today? Are you inviting me to the wedding?or are you going to ask me for a gift? I’m planning my own wedding too, so we can call it even,” Jayden said. 

Lyle mixed the cocktail a few more times as he chackled. With them married, he could finally let go of the lingering thoughts he had Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

He poured the pale yellow liquid into two glasses, the color of a bull moon. 

He handed one to William. “Congratulations, Will “‘ 

William clinked glasses with him 

After Lyle took a sip, becasually sat on a high stool, starting a video game where he seed through his opponents like they were made of butter. 

William also took a sip of wine. 

The drink carried a hint of mint, feeling like snow in his mouth, bringing a cooling sensation to his stomach. 

His expression gradually tuned serious. “I wanted to talk to you about the Xander Group that existed over twenty years ago.” 

“The Xander Group? The one that’s gone? Why the sudden interest?” Jayden asked, finding his question strange. 

Willam answered with another question. “How much do you know about them?” 

Jayden tapped the table with his slender fingers and smiled. “My master’s thesis was on the Xander Group. I did extensive research, even interviewing the judge who sentenced Xander Pierce. 

“Lanalyzed the math reasons for the group’s downfall, and my thesis was published in Elsevier. You’ve come to the right person.” 

William nodded. “Tell me more.” 

“Where should I begin… Well, let me put it this way if the Xander Group still existed today, the so–called “Big Four‘ in the business world would only be second–tier,” Jayden said. Jayden’s statement cought Lyle’s attention, and he looked up from his game. “That impressive? So why did they disappear? I’ve never even heard of this company.” 

Jayden smiled, “Of course you haven’t. Xander Pierce, the founder of Xander Group, was sentenced to death about 25 years ago. If he were reincarnated, he’d be your age now,” “Death penalty!” Lyle’s eyebrows shot up as he slid his chair over, “Now I’m interested.” 

Jayden glanced at William. “But if you want to know about the Xander Group, why not ask your father? He should know more.” 

Williain replied, “Why do you think I’m asking you instead of him?” 

There was always tension between William and his father. 

Jaylen shook his head and then said, “There were both acts of fate and acts of men.”
