Chapter 688 The Backbreaking Work Of Appeasing The Petulant Child-In-Chief

Anyone in the know could tell exactly what was going on: Xander had a specific axe to grind, and his target was Shaelyn Peach. Shaelyn simply replied, “Last I checked, Mr. Griffin, whatever’s between Zayn and me is none of your business.” The crowd was aghast by her audacity—she fired back at Xander, of all people! Did she have a death wish? Even the looks on Mr. Otto and her companions from the Aeolus House changed. Furtively, they tried to shoot her signals demanding her to stop talking before she killed herself just because she had a smart mouth. Xander’s eyebrows were practically knitted together. Enraged, he scoffed mirthlessly, “Do you expect an applause for your temerity, Shaelyn? How brave of you to disrespect me! Shall I applaud Aeolus House, for producing such a brave and stunning member, Mr. Otto?” His face was so stormy that anyone would have guessed how infuriated he was. Even a simple sneer sounded as imposing as the boom of a thunder, and the crowd visibly tensed.
