Chapter 41

Nate’s face flushed red with anger. He lunged forward, clearly intent on confronting Sharon, but Xavier intercepted him halfway.

With a cool, almost languid tone, Xavier spoke. “Nate, there are so many people here, and yet you still dare to get violent. That says a lot about how arrogant you are on a regular basis. And the reason you’re so brazen…”
