Chapter 169
In the main hall on the first floor.
Oscar, Riley, and Marble, who had changed into proper attire, and the twodies had already
weed Draco Xavier and his second son, Patt Xavier, into the door.
“Oscar, Riley! The older you are, the more handsome you be. No, no, I was rude. Now you should
be called President Thorp and Captain Thorp, right?”
“Oh! This is your youngest son, right? Hey! Thest time I saw him, he was still a naughty and cute
little boy. Now he is so handsome and handsome. He is a talented man. Where is he working now?”
The chairman of Xavy Group, Draco, kindly stepped forward to shake hands with every Young Masters
from the Thorp family.
“I am now a police officer working in the criminal police team, Uncle Xavier,” Marble replied with a faint
smile.
“You actually… became a police officer?” Draco was a little surprised, and his shrewd eyes shed.
In the eyes of that business tycoon, police officers were considered the lowest-level public servants,
earning less, facing danger, and having to deal with all sorts of dirty and tiring tasks. What’s more, the
career path was narrow, and even if you rose to the rank of a senior police inspector, it was.still limited,
far less valuable than inheriting the family business from one’s father.
“My son is not talented, I let you see a joke.” Helena showed a trace of embarrassment. Hér youngest
son’s career had always been a sore point to her.
Among the three wives, she had the highest social standing. Although she didn’t have the desire to
compete fiercely and divide the Thorp family, she was deeply influenced by her original family, and she
had a strong sense of family honor from a young age. Therefore, it was only natural for her to hope that
each of her children would excel, and her expectations for them were exceptionally high.
However, her youngest son, Marble, was a person who “did not want to advance”. He insisted on
keeping his life on his belt as a criminal police officer and did not follow the path she paved for him. It
gave her a headache.

“Second Sister, you are too modest!”
Freya was frank and outspoken. She went forward and patted Marble’s shoulder with a proud smile.
“How is Old Seven not talented? He just became twenty-seven years old, and he already made three
first-ss skills and three second-ss skills. He also broke many cases. He is the light of Medo’s
police force!”
“Not only that, Seventh Brother is now the captain of Medo’s first criminal investigation brigade, and he
is also the captain in the history of their bureau, Uncle Xavier. Riley did not want Xavier family’s people
to look down on his outstanding Seventh Brother, so he also chimed in.”
“Haha… That’s really young and promising, young and promising!” Draco could only smile and agree.

When Marble heard his family praise him, he was even happier than if he had made a contribution. He
shyly grinned and scratched his head.
“Old Xavier! Ouch…”
Stefan, with thepany of Secretary Jared and Sia, walked up to Mr. Xavier and his son with subtle
smiles hinting at hidden intentions.”It’s been a long time since youst came to see me. I thought you
had some problems with your spare parts and went abroad to take care of them. That’s the only reason
you didn’t dare to meet me.”
“Hey! You still have the nerve to say
that?”
Draco felt irony, “Two months ago, I called you to ask you out to ride a horse with me. Wasn’t it you
who refused to ask me out for something?”
“In the past, when I said I was going to ride a horse, you were in high spirits. You had topete with
me even when you were in the sky. I was wondering if you were too old to climb on the back of a horse.
Are you afraid that I willugh at you?”
“Hahaha… then you really worry about salty radish. My body is tough!”
“When you enter the nursing home with me in the future, your wheelchair will definitely be pushed by
me! Just wait and see!” Stefan smirked.
When everyone saw that the two of them were still the same as before, bickering whenever they met,
they couldn’t help but
snicker.
Tonight, Director Xavier wore a well-dressed suit with four pieces of clothing. The foundation of the
carbon ash and the silvery-white thin ck necktie were embellished. He was very energetic.
As a result, they didn’t expect that this old fellow, Stefan, would actually wear a snow-white silk gown.
The fine dark embroidery was full of nobility, and he was also very casual and carefree. He didn’t have
a single strand of white hair on his temples. His back was as straight as a pine – just like twenty years
ago. It was really infuriating!
Draco and Stefan were both men who especially cared about appearance management. When they
were young, they had already put in a lot of effort in dressing up and skincare. They had been
competing like this for twenty years, wanting to drag the other into the coffin.
“Hello, Uncle Thorp.” Patt stepped forward and bowed politely to Stefan.
He and Jerome were of the same father and different mothers, and their appearances were not alike.
Fourth Young Master Xavier had a delicate and handsome appearance, and it was hard to tell whether
he was male or female. Second Young Master’s facial features were more angr. His thick eyebrows
flew to his temples, and his eyes were sunken. His gaze was as sharp as his father’s, and his figure
was slender and rough.
“Oh! Patt, you’re so good too!”
Stefan showed a loving smile to this junior. After all, he had watched Xavier family’s child grow up. “Old
Xavier, didn’t you say that you brought your youngest son along? I haven’t seen your fourth brother for
many years. Why? Didn’t hee with you?”
“Haha… that little bastard said that he had something to do at thest minute and would only arrive
later.”
“Old Thorp, didn’t you say that Chloe woulde tonight? Why didn’t I see him?” Draco looked around
and asked in confusion, “Old Thorp, didn’t you say that Chloe would alsoe tonight? Why didn’t I
see him?”
“Ahem… Chloe also said that she has something to do. She wille back after dealing with it.” Stefan
could not figure out his daughter’s n, but it was reasonable to say that as long as she agreed, she
would never break the promise.
“Tsk, it can’t be that Chloe won’te? No, no! I just came to see Chloe!”
“If I can’t see Chloe, I won’t leave tonight!” Draco was unwilling to let go.
As soon as the voice fell, the bright voice of the butler came from outside the door, “Mr. Thorp! The
First Miss is back!”
“Look, talking about Chloe, isn’t Chloe here now?”
When Stefan heard that his daughter had returned, he instantly beamed with joy, and his eyes were full
of doting radiance.
At this moment, everyone also turned to look outside the door.
Draco’s eyes immediately lit up. He stretched his neck and looked out expectantly.
Patt’s eyes, which had been indifferent the entire time, also narrowed at this moment. He, who was
used to seeing the big scene, even secretly tidied up his tie. All the nerves in his body became
nervous.
“Dad! I’m back!”
A clear and sweet voice that was like sugarcane came over. It was fast and pleasing to the ear, making
one feel both physically and mentally happy.
Chloe, who was as bright as a peach flower, walked with light steps and stepped into the view of
everyone with Jerome.
Apart from Oscar, everyone, including Stefan, was stunned.
And at this moment, the expressions of Mr. Xavier and his son were somewhat intriguing.
Draco frowned slightly, while Patt pursed his lips until they were white. His brows were gloomy and cold
as he pressed his eyes. A gloomy feeling of being set up by others surged in his chest, making him pull
his tie with a dark face.
“Uncle Thorp, Dad, I’m sorry, we arete.”
Jerome first took a deep look at Chloe beside him, and then politely bowed to the two elders.
“Jerome, did you meet Chloe at the door?” Draco looked back and forth between them and asked
tentatively.
“No, Dad.”
Jerome slowly curled his lips, and his tender eyes fell on Chloe’s side face. “I specially went to pick up
Chloe and came with her.”
