Chapter 208 A Warning to Teresa

“Are the bags ready?”

Xavier remained completely unshaken. He stepped outside and looked straight at Jacob.

Jacob winced. “Not… not yet.”

Teresa spoke up, “You can skip the packing. Stanley wasn’t feeling well, so he’s decided to head back. Dr. Wills has already taken him to the car.”

Hearing that, Isabella instinctively glanced toward Xavier.

She was genuinely surprised Stanley had backed down this easily–and because of Xavier, no less.

fter Xavier’s earlier challenge, she’d expected a much bigger storm to follow.

avier’s expression didn’t flicker. “Jacob, see my grandfather out.”

That won’t be necessary,” Teresa cut in, her tone sharp. “Are you really going to show your grandfather zero consideration? He left ecause he wasn’t feeling well, not because the two of you ran him off.”

fter a pause, Teresa shot another look at Isabella, hesitating as if she wanted to say more.

sabella caught her gaze and spoke quietly, “Teresa… thank you.”

ver since Jason had been taken, Teresa had been quietly helping her.

hough Isabella didn’t fully understand why Teresa’s attitude toward her had shifted, she still felt she owed her those words.

There’s nothing to thank me for,” Teresa replied coolly, though her chest felt strangely tight.

‘Isabella’s child wasn’t Sander’s… she wouldn’t be this uneasy.

hat Isabella really had some kind of hold on him.

ust as Teresa turned to leave, Xavier called her back.

Aunt.”

This time, his voice wasn’t entirely ice there was a trace of something else

Teresa assumed he was about to thank her alongside isabella, and the thought of their united hant unitated her for no good

‘I told you, no thanks needed”

‘That’s not why I stopped you”

Xavier’s tone was calm, but it hit Teresa like a splash of cold water

“Has Wilson’s situation been hardled?”

His voice turned cool again, Mentioning Wilson seemed to bring back the authority his tone–almost like he was interrogating

her.

Teresa was momentarily speechless.

When had her nephew become such a fiercely protective busband? If he weren’t injured, she had little doubt Xavier would’ve torn Wilson apart himself.

Not that she would’ve minded seeing that, honestly.

“Wilson is dead,” Jacob quickly updated Xavier. “He took his own life. Our people are still cooperating with the investigation.”

“And the others?” Xavier pressed.

Jacob knew exactly who he meant–the men who’d laid hands on Isabella.

Xavier had given clear orders: every one of them, down to which finger they’d used, would pay.

“Right here.”

Jacob lowered his voice and handed his phone to Xavier.

The photos that came through were brutal.

According to their contacts, those men had been dealt with by Stanley even before Wilson ended his own life.

Originally, Stanley had only wanted to smooth things over with Xavier and close the chapter. But Xavier had refused to back down -he’d insisted on Wilson.

Over the years, Wilson had done plenty for Stanley.

He was no saint, and Stanley had used his dirty work to wipe out more than a few factions that opposed the Moore family.

But no matter how useful Wilson had been, he could never outweigh Stanley’s ties to Xavier–to the family bloodline.

Xavier understood that well, so Wilson’s suicide came as no surprise.

Stanley would always sacrifice Wilson, but he’d never let someone who knew so many family secrets fall into Xavier’s hanets,

Teresa let out a dry laugh. “Xavier, you really have no sense of loyalty, do you? Wilson served your grandfather for decades, and you got rid of him just like that. Taking advantage of Stanley’s age now, acting like there’s no one left in the Moore family who matters?”

As much as she despised Wilson–hated him to the core she’d also seen his loyalty to Stanley. In some ways, Wilson had felt more like family to Stanley than any of them.

Looked at that way, Xavier had never truly cared about the Moore legacy

The thought left Teresa feeling hollow

She probably meant less to him than a single strand of Isabella’s hair.

But more than anything, she wanted to throw it back at Stanley the son he’d pinned his hopes on had turned to nothing, the

grandson he’d groomed as his heir had turned against him… yet she, the daughter he’d dismissed and married off for advantage, was still the one clinging to some idea of family

Xavier ignored Teresa’s sarcasm.

Then, as if something else crossed his mind, he offered her a cold, slight smile.

Teresa felt chills run down her spine at the sight of him smiling her way.

Kavier almost never showed any expression toward her.

“When it comes to Moore family affairs, Aunt… you’re somewhat of an outsider yourself, aren’t you? Why trouble yourself so much? You’d be better off focusing on your own son.”

Xavier’s words were spoken softly, almost solely for Teresa’s ears.
