Huxley was asked out by a friend for a barbecue and to confirm that he wanted to join Salvatore Group.

“Isn’t this Xavier! Huxley immediately recognized Xavier, who was sitting there smoking meat..
Huxley was the same age as Xavier. They were in the same school, same grade, and same class since childhood. Both were silver spooned children, known as the future heirs of the Salvatore family and the Klein family. It was inevitable that people would compare them. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
Salvatore Group was the largest group in Xosa. Huxley had a sense of superiority, so he naturally didn’t want to be surpassed by others. In his eyes, Xavier was just a rambunctious brat.
“It’s really Xavier!” It was Neil who spoke. Xavier also knew him. The three of them used to be in the same class, and! Neil’s pare

“What the matter? Instead of staying at the military base, you came back as a desener?” said Huxley. Since childhood, whenever Huxley saw Xavier, disdain rose within him.
“Huxley, we haven’t seen each other for half a year, but you’re the same as always Xavier put down the fork and said, “Still as arrogant as ever!
“Xavier, don’t cause trouble!” Juliet reminded him. Truthfully, she diden like Huxley. If she hadn’t thought of him as Mikayla’s younger brother, she wouldn’t have chastised her own brother.
Compared with Xavier, who had lived on a military base and had suntanned skin, Huxley looked like a pale scholar
When he heard Juliet, Xavier held back his temper.
However, Huxley thought Xavier was afraid of him and felt proud of himself “If I’m arrogant, it’s only because I’m capable, but you… To be blunt, you’re just some rank–and–file bit character in a place like the military use,” he said. “By the way, didn’t Mikayla want to marry a Guardian because of you guys? Maybe she’s blind.”
“Huxley!” Mikayla called out. As soon as she entered the barbecue restaurant, she saw this “wonderful” scene.
In Mikayla’s eyes, Huxley was indeed an excellent student, but he was a little too obsessed with studying. Although Xavier always fought and brawled, he was very smart. He just didn’t bother with things he did not like, such as studying.
Therefore, his academic performance was not as good as Huxley’s, but Mikayla was more optimistic about Xavier’s personality. Especially at this time, Mikayla was deeply aware that if Huxley took over Salvatore Group, failure and success were merely a matter of thought.
Although Winona and Huxley
ley were her cousins, they were not as close to each other as Juliet and Xavier,
“What You want to scold me again?” Hurley wouldn’t admit defeat in front of his friends.
“You’re responsible for what you say. Think carefully before you speak.” Mikayla chose her words well. She didn’t think respecting Huxley would be good for him now. Now, he deserved to be hit in the head.
Huxley had always been very dissatisfied with working under Mikayla and had wanted to change departments more than once. If it weren’t for the agreement with his brother–in–law, he would not have persisted until now, “Mikayla, this isn’t Salvatore Group. Do you really think you’re the same majestic powerful woman
“I’m your boss in the company, and I’m your cousin at home! If no one teaches you etiquette, I don’t mind teaching you a lesson later!” Mikayla interrupted.
Huxley’s friends looked at each other when they heard Mikayla. “What’s going on? Didn’t Huxley say he’s the most powerful in Salvatore Group besides the chairmant A woman’s his superior.. they thought,
Huxley understood what people were thinking, and even felt like he was being called out. Being called out in public fell heavily on his ears. He cursed with bloodshot eyes, “Who the hell do you think you are? You’re just a woman abandoned by my brother–in–law and crushing on an old man in the military base!”
“Huxley!” Xavier shouted
“Hurley, watch your mouth!” Juliet wanted to throw the drink on the table, but the next second, someone else took action.
Mikayla admitted that she was being impulsive at this moment. She was furious when Huxley criticized Carlos repeatedly! So, she didn’t regret throwing the white drink
“Mikayla, how dare you!” Huxley was furious. The drink was splashed all over his face and dripping down his chin.
Before his slap could land, it was stopped midair by a long and strong hand.
A tall figure walked out of the crowd, as elegant as a leopard. His pure black suit couldn’t hide his remarkable calm temperament.
Huxley’s arm was gripped by a strong palm. His face twisted in pain, and with the white squid dripping down it, he looked even more embarrassed.
The onlookers felt painful just looking at Huxley’s expression.
“Let… go!” Huxley grilled out
“What if I don’t?” There was a faint chill to the man’s words.
Mikayla looked at the man who suddenly appeared and was
was stunned
Xavier felt himself shudder, and a chill spread from the bottom of his feet to his whole body for a moment. He pinched himself and felt the pain. Only then did he realize this was all real. He couldn’t believe that Carlos was there.
He looked at Mikayla. Xavier guessed when he heard Carlos‘ call, but he didn’t believe there was such a coincidence in the world. He certainly didn’t expect it to be reall The person his beloved sister was going to marry turned out to be the person he admired the most.
However, he was praying for Huxley right now. “How dare you say that Mr. Ludwig is an old man! just wait a minute, and you won’t even know what killed you, Xavier thought
Huxley felt like his hand was about to dislocate. He looked up and met Carlos‘ eyes, as
sharp as an
as an eagle, and his heart sank.
If he didn’t know who this person was, then he was truly doomed
Even if Neil and the others wanted to help, they didn’t dare to come forward because of the man’s sharp gaze.
Carlos tightened his grip and said in a slightly hoarse voice, “Co on!”
“It hurts” Huxley had never been squeezed like this in his life. It felt so painful that he almost passed out. Sweat covered his forehead.
The fear in his heart and the pain in his arm made Huxley too afraid to repeat what he had said earlier to this fearsome man.
For the first time, Huxley felt humiliated, like he was trapped in the palm of someone else’s hand.
“Carlos” Mikayla stopped him. It was not out of kindness, but if she didn’t stop him, Huxley’s hand might be broken. The situation would get out of hand
When h
he heard her soft and beautiful voice, a trace of tenderness crossed Carlos eyes before he released Huxley’s hand.
Originally, he had gone to the clubhouse to look for Kashion and Elvis after canceling their appointment over the phone. It wasn’t long before he began to miss Mikayla, so he called her and drove over as soon as he heard that she was having a barbecue.
However, he didn’t expect that someone would say he was an old man! In front of her, even
Carlos wanted to teach this arrogant guy a lesson, but he didn’t expect Mikayla to react so bercely. His heart led with joy then
