Chapter 50

Today was the day of the Fulton family gathering.

In the afternoon, Xavier wrapped up work early and headed back to Fulton Manor.

He figured that by now, Lily must have calmed down from their recent conflicts.

This family event could serve as a chance for her to admit her mistakes.

His Maybach pulled into the driveway, and as he got out, he realized he didn't see Lily's car.

Then he remembered that her car had been totaled.

The image of her disheveled state, with her forehead wrapped in a bandage, flashed through his mind.

If she behaved well today, maybe he would buy her a new car.
