"Grandpa hasn't told you, huh?" Chloe straightened up as she narrated the facts nonchalantly, "Xavia’s working for Duskfall. She’s the one who orchestrated all the twists and turns."

Chloe did not wish to meddle in other people's affairs, but neither did she want to owe anyone favors, especially not to someone as arrogant as him.

Joseph froze, his brows deeply furrowed. "How could Xavia possibly be involved with Duskfall? And if she is, why would she still pester me after Grandpa has woken up?"
