Chapter 27 A Blind Fate
"What?!" Morris exclaimed, a surge of panic washing over him. Tiffany felt her heart skip a beat as anxiety gripped her.
They shared a glance, a silent exchange of fear that their scheme might have been uncovered.
As father and daughter stood in tense silence, Xander entered with a commanding stride that seemed to drop the temperature in the room.
His presence was formidable, and Morris and Tiffany felt the weight of it, their nerves fraying under his scrutiny.
"Mr. Bennett, what brings you here at this hour?" Morris asked, trying to mask his unease with a veneer of ignorance.
Xander gestured to Leo, who nodded and signaled to the guards, "Bring them in."
Within moments, the vagrants were ushered inside, their faces bruised and battered, barely recognizable.
The sight of them sent a chill down Morris and Tiffany's spines, their skin growing pale with dread.
"Mr. Xander, please have mercy! We were coerced! They sent us! We didn't know she was your wife! Spare us!" the vagrants pleaded, collapsing to their knees in desperation. Tiffany, panicking, pointed at them, "They're lying! I never instructed them to do this! They acted on their own! What does this have to do with us?"
Her outburst caused Morris to break out in a cold sweat, stumbling back to clutch the sofa for support.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Tiffany asked, oblivious to the grave mistake she had made.
Xander's gaze, cold and unyielding, turned toward Tiffany. "They haven't revealed any details, yet you seem to know quite a lot."
Shock coursed through Tiffany's veins
Tiffany's eyes widened, her jaw dropping as she realized her error.
After a long pause, Tiffany attempted to deflect the situation, her tone shifting to one of feigned innocence.
"Xan, it's not my fault. We were meant to be engaged, but Isabel forced herself into the picture. She's the one to blame!"
She moved closer to Xander as she spoke, her silk nightgown clinging to her form, highlighting her curves.
Leo watched her with incredulity. He knew many had tried to seduce his boss before, but all met unpleasant ends.
"Leave!" Xander commanded, his voice cutting through the air like a blade. His eyes, sharp and intense, pinned Tiffany in place, rendering her too terrified to move.
