The Rose He Showed Off Is Putting Down Roots in a Garden of Her Own novel Chapter 250

"I am the future leader of this family, but I'm a man first," Zane replied firmly. "A man who sits by and watches the woman he loves suffer, doing absolutely nothing, would make for a pathetic leader anyway."

"Xavier, this isn't a passing obsession. I've waited years for this. Julian made his choice. He crossed the line, and he forfeited his right to her."

Xavier frowned, looking at his friend as if he were completely possessed. "Relationships are between two people. One person trying desperately isn't enough. You have to give your heart to the right person to get a happy ending. Don't set yourself up for heartbreak."

"Vance Group is on the verge of collapse. They desperately need massive capital and influential backers. With that kind of money on the line, you need to be extremely careful. You have to figure out if what you're seeing is genuine love, or just a desperate business transaction."

"You might be giving her your real heart, but can you guarantee she isn't just using you for survival?"

Zane thought of Elara's brief hesitation earlier that night. A sharp pang hit his chest, but he forced a confident smile. "Even if she is just using me, I'm glad I can be useful to her."

When a man reached this level of delusion, there was no point in arguing anymore.

Xavier sighed. "What do you want me to do? Get the anchor fired?"

"No. Just make her panic. Put all the focus on Julian. Stir the pot and accelerate their divorce."

"Fine. I got it."

Zane stood up, adding one last thing. "And don't take his side in this. I didn't destroy their marriage. The court has already heard their case."

Xavier had zero patience left for this hopelessly smitten fool. "Just get out. I need to sleep."

Zane was swiftly kicked out.

The next morning, Zane walked down into the courtyard and spotted Xavier.

Zane flashed a bright smile. "Morning, Mr. Prescott."
