Chapter 322

:

The Garcia Group’s stocks dropped several points in just one week.

All thanks to Connor, who orchestrated the whole thing.

While Joshua was struggling to keep up with the chaos, Connor sent him an invitation.

It was to a charity gala at the Capital City Club on Friday.

Connor personally delivered the invitation to Joshua, and couldn’t help but feel quite pleased seeing how worn–out Joshua looked.

“Mr. Garcia, don’t hold it against me for playing hardball–business is business, there’s no right or wrong to it. But I’m throwing you a bone here. A lot of big shots in the business will be at that charity gala. You never know, maybe someone there can give you a hand,” Connor said.

Connor had cornered Joshua in the underground parking garage of the Garcia Group.

At that moment, Joshua and Xylia were taking a break and planning to visit their teacher.

When Connor handed over the invitation, Xylia couldn’t help but roll her eyes, thinking, ‘Seriously? Can’t he pick a better time for his games?‘

Noticing Xylia’s obvious eye roll, Connor threw her a look and said, “Xylia, here’s a word of advice: you’d be smart to keep your distance from all this drama. It’s better for both you and Joshua.”

But if Xylia didn’t listen, Connor had no problem forcing her hand–even if it meant making her take a hard line.

Xylia thought Connor was absolutely unnecessary–like an extra scene in a drama nobody asked for.

In her opinion, after a divorce, an ex should be as good as dead–no contact, no crossing paths, pure radio

silence.

But Connor just wouldn’t quit; he was always in her face, never giving her or Joshua a break, and hell–bent on driving a wedge between them.

Only now did Xylia realize Connor wasn’t just a piece of trash–he was the kind of creep that made her skin crawl.

“Whatever happens in my life has absolutely nothing to do with you. If you’ve got so much free time to hand out invitations, maybe you should use it booking yourself a psych consult–seriously, get your brain checked,” Xylia shot back.

Xylia grabbed Joshua and hustled him into the car, making sure he didn’t spend another second around Connor. ‘No way am I letting him get dragged into Connor’s drama again,‘ she thought.

Watching Xylia step up for Joshua like that made Connor’s chest ache with envy and bitterness.
