Chapter 528

Felix took a sip of his beer before asking, "Do you really think this was a coincidence? If the Saphira family wanted to visit me, they could have done it anytime. Why specifically now?"

Although he was unsure about Barack's background, Felix knew the situation was not as simple as it appeared.

Seeing his expression, George decided not to pursue the topic further.

"Oh, by the way, Malcolm is a direct descendant of the Crayden family. He's also one of Lady Nala's suitors," George mentioned. "He's actually one of those powerful pursuers Mr. Gibson warned about earlier." The implication was clear-George wanted Felix to be careful. Felix merely nodded, as Nala's romantic affairs were not his concern.

Nonetheless, he figured Malcolm would likely let the Ethan incident slide after the Saphira family's intervention. After all, it was simply not worth the trouble.

An hour later, as they were leaving, the elevator stopped one floor down. Felix could not help but be shocked when he noticed who was entering the elevator, and he exclaimed, "When did you come back?" Jack jumped in surprise. Upon seeing Felix, his eyes darted away nervously. "I got back this afternoon, you-"

Someone suddenly pushed Jack from behind, forcing him into the elevator. "What's wrong with you? Too drunk to remember how elevators work?"

Felix then noticed Wendy standing behind Jack, clearly having had more than a few drinks, as she was swaying on her feet. She even giggled and slurred, "I-I think I'm hallucinating... I'm seeing Felix in the elevator. As Wendy

is pretty drunk. She seemed down today for some reason. I'm leaving her with you since I don't know her place in Canraville."

Before Felix could respond, Jack darted out through the opening elevator doors with impressive speed.

"You'd better watch your back!" Felix called after him, making George chuckle.

"What's Jack doing with Wendy'?" George asked curiously.

"He quit Stellar Group and now works for Wendy, handling their Canraville operations," Felix explained.

When they reached the parking level, George snapped his fingers, and someone quickly

approached. "Take Felix home."

Felix frowned. "Can't you see I've got company? How can I go home?"

Throughout the ride, Wendy stumbled and rambled incoherently, making it impossible to get her address. "Should we take her to a hotel?" George suggested. After some hesitation, Felix eventually decided to take her to his place. After all, he did not feel comfortable leaving her alone at a hotel in her current state. "What's that look for?" Felix threatened playfully, raising his fist, when he caught George's expression after helping Wendy into the Range Rover. "Nothing! I know you've got game and wouldn't take advantage of the situation. Anyway, I'll head out now!" George replied with a grin.

Felix sighed as he got into the car. He had given Wendy an acupuncture treatment to help her sleep, which seemed better than letting her remain rowdy.

When they arrived at his villa, the driver immediately left. Felix carried Wendy from the garage into the house. As they entered, the living room lights suddenly turned on. Someone was sitting on the couch, their eyes meeting Felix's.

Felix blurted out, "Xena?"
