After Shannon answered a call, her spirits were lifted greatly. She couldn’t believe Zachary had taken the initiative to look for her. After all, he had always kept his distance from her in the past.

Meanwhile, Xavier wasn’t there yet, and the crow

“Is Xavier not coming?”

couldn’t help talking about it.

“Didn’t he promise to come? Why isn’t he here yet? He’s never gone back on his word before.”

“Didn’t you hear the rumors? He’s blind now, so it’s going to be embarrassing for him if he comes.”

“What? No way!”

Everyone was curious if he really was blind. If it were true, things would be interesting for them.

Then, Xavier finally entered the hall with Luther leading him. Everyone looked toward the entrance and saw a man in noble attire.

However, his once sharp gaze looked dull at that moment. They also noticed that he needed Luther to guide him into the hall. When he arrived, he didn’t greet anyone.

Shannon approached him and said to Clifford, “Dad, the doctors said Xav needs to rest more after he got into the accident. Now that you’ve seen him, why don’t we send him back to get some rest?”

When Clifford noticed that Xavier was really blind, he stopped making things hard for Shannon and Xavier,

Just as he was about to let him leave, Zayden said from the side, “Shannon, it’s rare for Xav to join us. Since he’s already here, don’t chase him back so soon.”

“That’s right! We all want to have a chat with him.”

Everyone else said the same thing.

Shannon seemed upset as she looked toward Clifford. He stood up with the help of his walking cane and said, “Let’s have dinner and a prayer first. I’m sure he can rest later. Shannon, come with me to the study.”

“Alright.” She knew he was about to scold her.

After she left, everyone dropped everything and started talking about Xavier in private. Meanwhile, Jeremiah quietly enjoyed his coffee nearby while coldly watching everything that was happening.

Zayden approached Xavier and said, “I never thought you would end up like this, Xav!”

When Xavier heard that, he looked cold. “Who are you?”

Zayden was stunned, and he thought Xavier just couldn’t recognize him. “I’m Zayden! Can’t you recognize my voice anymore?”

Xavier tried to search for that name in his mind and finally remembered that useless cousin of his. “I remember you now. The subsidiary company you were managing went bankrupt half a year ago. Is your new company up and running now?”

Zayden was stunned. Marlene hurriedly stepped forward and spoke for him. “Xavier, I know you’re upset because you can’t see anything now and that your rights at the company have been snatched away.

“But you can’t just vent on my husband. He wasn’t the one who snatched your position. If you want to blame someone, you should look for that guy instead.”

She looked toward Jeremiah, who was having coffee alone.

Xavier didn’t want to waste his breath on them, and he was ready to leave. Zayden stretched out his leg in front of everyone, wanting to trip Xavier and embarrass him.

“Dad, what are you doing? Uncle Xav is going to fall if you do that.” Zayden heard someone speak up. When he noticed it was Malcolm, he was stunned.

Everyone else felt embarrassed for him. Meanwhile, Xavier realized what was going on and pulled back his leg.

Marlene immediately pulled Malcolm to the side and told him to play outside.

Then, Xavier asked Luther to find him a seat somewhere. The crowd started talking about him while shooting him glances of sympathy, mockery, and disdain.

Xavier clenched his fists unknowingly. He remembered everything that happened that day. He swore he would make these people pay for what they had done soon.
