Love Unspoken

Before he opened the door, Kyle added, "Xavier is waiting in your office."

Ignoring his words, Alexander entered the room and noticed Xavier sitting on the sofa with Walter beside him. They were chatting. Xavier appeared worn. Grey hair was visible on his head.

Upon Alexander's arrival, Xavier merely looked at him with a fatigued expression.

Alexander sat across him and casually asked, "What brought you here, Xavier?"

Xavier locked eyes with him, a mix of fatigue and a hint of cryptic resentment evident in his gaze.

"What do you think? Don't you know?"

Alexander chuckled, crossing his legs and lighting a cigarette. "How am I to know? I don't read minds."

Xavier was irritated by his arrogant demeanor. Clenching his fists, his fingertips audibly cracked.

"My father was so upset when he found out about my situation that he ended up in the ICU. Isn't that your fault?"

Raising an eyebrow, Alexander found it somewhat amusing. " Xavier, what's wrong with you? Why do you keep accusing me?"

"Don't play innocent. Who else could it be if it wasn't you? You want the stake of the Xavier family, don't you? Well, you'll have it." Alexander paused, studying him for a moment. "Do you finally understand, Xavier?"

Xavier chuckled in frustration.

Alexander smiled faintly.

Walter interjected, "Since it's settled. Have you prepared the contract?"

Annoyed, Xavier replied, "No. Come to the Xavier's house tomorrow."

He turned to Alexander and asked, "Are you planning to merge Kennedy Enterprise under Kennedy Enterprise?

If brought under Kennedy Enterprise, the shares would not technically belong to Alexander but to the company itself. The funds would then be distributed based on the proportion of Kennedy Enterprise's shareholders. His actual shareholdings wouldn't increase.

"Why would I? I never intended to." Alexander retorted.

Puzzled, Xavier furrowed his brow. "Then what's your plan?"

"You needn't worry about that, Xavier, Get the transfer contract ready when you go back."

Xavier narrowed his eyes in thought before saying, "I can prepare the contract, but you need to ensure my family's safety."

"How do I do that? If you come over and accuse me like today, I won't know what to say."

Xavier hesitated, catching the undertone of his words.

In the future, if anything happened to his family, he would immediately suspect Alexander. If someone framed him, he would likely shift the blame onto Alexander. This guarantee seemed futile.

Xavier fell silent, grappling with an unsolvable dilemma. Giving his shares to Alexander could upset some people and potentially lead to retaliation against his family.

After a long pause, Xavier looked at Alexander and said, "I just need to promise me that my family will be safe. No one should harm them under any circumstance. Although we had been enemies, I admit I can't defeat you. I don't want to put my family at risk anymore. Please, think about it, especially for Valerie's sake."

Though Xavier was still upset, he couldn't stand the idea of his family suffering because of his conflicts with Alexander.

As harsh as it may sound, the dead were dead and the living ones must move on.

Acceptance was the only way out despite resentment and anger.
