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, and Xavier had told him to handle everything as he saw fit. When Bobby called about the lawyer, Timothy had 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.
