Chapter 37 Thrown Out Of The House

• Xavier leaned back in his chair, his piercing blue eyes fixed on his older brother as he observed him from across the room. The tension between them was palpable, with each one keenly aware of the other's presence. A silent electricity crackled in the air, threatening to ignite into a full-blown confrontation. Edward was well aware that he risked a harsh slap from Xavier if he continued to speak.
• But despite the danger, Xavier's piercing stare held him captive. His elder brother's attention was diverted as he questioned his wife with an air of authority. Yet, even in this moment of confrontation, Xavier's eyes remained locked on Edward, cold and unyielding. The man finally turned to Cathleen, breaking the intense gaze, and spoke with a hint of remorse, "My apologies for my inappropriate behavior." The tension in the room remained thick, like a heavy fog that refused to dissipate.
• But then Olivia, with her love for the dramatic, couldn't resist jumping in and adding her own commentary. "Why are you apologizing? After all, she did have sex with both the uncle and the nephew. I had no idea that my friend was going to have such a voracious appetite for power. Ooh, Cathy, Ghosh!" Her voice dripped with intrigue and amusement as she leaned forward, eagerly awaiting a response from the others at the table. The candles flickered in the dimly lit room, casting shadows across their faces. The tension in the air was palpable as they waited to see how Cathleen would react to Olivia's bold statement.
