with Nadia in advance.
"You" Landon was fuming. However, he couldn't Lash out farther with Xavier's presence. After all, Xavier hadn't
said a word yet. The room fell into silence for a moment. Everyone's gaze shifted to Xavier. His expression was

Timothy reminded him. "Right!" Landon immediately picked up the wine bottle and poured a full glass for Lily.
The wine glass beside her was already filled before Lily could react
She instinctively glanced at Xavier. She was two seats away from him, and their line of sight was almost level.
Yet, her gaze met with his in an instant.
His deep eyes carried a cold and intense gaze as if he didn't know her but was utterly displeased with her.
