Her Heart Her Terms (Lily and Xavier) novel Chapter 284

At the same time, Xavier didn’t want Lily to get too comfortable accepting the “charity from the Devereux family.

She stared at him for a few seconds. “Xavier, are you crazy?”

He suddenly appeared as a client–was he really asking her to design a house for him?

“The case is here.” Xavier threw a property deed and a design contract onto the table

He had come fully prepared. The marital home that Sarah had burned was still left unresolved, and he didn’t know how to handle it. Now, it seemed, Lily would design it again.

She recognized it as Glenview Villa, and for a moment, she was hit by a wave of painful memories. Her face turned pale uncontrollably.

“I’ll file a complaint then.” His face darkened, in st

in stark contrast to hers.

To accept the Devereux family’s “favor“, she could smile and please them, but when it came to him, she threw a tantrum.

“She’ll accept it!” Landon quickly walked out, smiling ingratiatingly at Xavier. “Lily’s been a bit busy lately. Let me rearrange her schedule, and I’ll make sure your house design is done.”

He began re–evaluating Lily in his mind. He hadn’t even looked at the contract but gestured for Lily to sit and sign it.

After all, a man like Xavier had power and money–he didn’t need to play games or be underhanded. He dealt with things openly.

“Lily, stop standing there. If you close this deal, the headquarters will treat you like the pillar of the company!”

Seeing Lily motionless, he urged, “Otherwise, the issue of your absence yesterday won’t be solved!”

She knew she couldn’t compete with the power of capital

She sat down, opened the contract, and was about to take a look when she felt a tightening on her wrist.

Xavier’s hands, with their clearly defined joints, grabbed her wrist, and his rough palm brushed against her delicate skin.

“He he he…” Landon laughed awkwardly, blinking rapidly, but Lily didn’t join in.
