Chapter 273
Timothy temporarily focused on the phone number. After briefly taking the phone, he returned it to Xavier.
Lily's phone was less than two years old and still looked new. It had a cartoon-themed case and a privacy screen
protector.
He had often watched her use this phone, her small hands making it appear much larger when she held it. But
now, the phone seemed like a toy in Xavier's hands, easily manageable with just one hand. He didn't have the
habit of prying into others’ private affairs. Still, when he accidentally brushed against the Whatapp while
putting the phone in his pocket, it logged in automatically.
Because he had been using this phone for a long time, no password or verification was needed, and he was
logged in effortlessly.
Several message notifications popped up. They were delayed messages. Even though Lily had already replied
and answered a video call from Maryanne on hern

‘new
phone, the messages popped up again on this one..
Xavier took out the phone and opened WhatsApp. Maryanne and the work group were pinned to the top.
Following that were various contacts related to her, but his contact was nowhere to be found.
He frowned as if anticipating something. He clicked into the settings to check the blacklists and found his
number there.
Before he could do anything, Whatwas logged out as it was logged in on another device.
Xavier returned to theand opened her phone's contact blacklist. As expected, his number was there.
He casually tossed the phone onto the desk, unwilling to touch the ugly phone anymore.
The office door was knocked on. He pinched the bridge of his nose, adjusted his demeanor, and responded,
"Cin."
Sarah entered, holding the list of the third-round qualifiers for the Avelon Designs Competition. She walked over
and placed it in front of him.
"Xavier, the list of third-round qualifiers is out. | haven't received your reply, and the other judges weren't very
impressed with Lily's work, so she's been
eliminated."
She had never wanted Lily to advance. Since Xavier hadn't reached out again, she wouldn't give Lily any special
treatment.
"Got it." he glanced at the list, and indeed, Lily's nwas missing.
He was willing to give Lily anything if she obeyed him, even if she lacked the ability. However, she refused to do
so.
Sarah hesitated momentarily, then asked tentatively, "Are you and Lily not back together yet?"
He placed the list aside and interlaced his fingers on the desk, his expression neutral. "That's not something you
should be concerned with. Go find Timothy and have him arrange your work at the company." The company had

"Alright." She was delighted. "I'll go get busy."
She turned to leave the office, but her phone suddenly rang just as she was about to find Timothy. Seeing the
unexpected caller ID, she swiped to answer.
"Xyla, why are you callingat this hour?
It was the middle of the night abroad. On the other end of the line, Xyla coughed wealdy, her voice laced with
tears.
"Sarah, are you alright?"
"Of course, I'm fine. Did you have a bad dream?" Sarah tumed into a nearby hallway, her tone soft and
comforting. "Silly girl! Dreams are always the opposite of reality!"
Xyla then denied it, hesitating for a while before saying, "Sarah, Corey did something wrong and upset Xavier.
I'm afraid Xavier will cafter you."
Sarah paused, her expression gradually tuming serious. "What happened?"
