The Love I Begged For Was Never Real novel Chapter 368

"It's Mom and Dad who are useless... we can't save you..."

Mrs. Xavier covered her mouth, sobbing uncontrollably. "We begged everyone we could, trying to get you the best legal team in The Metropolis, trying to bail you out. But the moment they heard it was a case involving the Hayes and Pierce families, those attorneys refused to even meet us."

"Your dad called our old family friends for help, but everyone avoided us. The Hayes and Pierce families have spoken; no one dares to go against their will. We can't do a thing against those two families..."

Second-rate families like the Xaviers, who had long been marginalized and were barely surviving in the social circle on the charity and gratitude of The Hayes Group, had absolutely no right to speak up.

With the Hayes and Pierce families issuing the order, all the top-tier attorneys and law firms in The Metropolis shut down all communication channels with the Xavier family overnight.

Who would dare go against the will of those two big shots at the critical juncture of the tragic death of the Hayes heiress?

"Dad, Mom... has Gideon... done anything to Xavier Holdings?"

With Gideon's paranoid and ruthless personality, he was convinced Giselle had died by her hands.

She was genuinely terrified that once Gideon completely lost his mind, he would drag everyone in the Xavier family—including the parents who raised her—down to hell to accompany his sister in death.

Mr. Xavier reached out a trembling hand, wiped the tears from the corner of his eye, and let out a long sigh.

"For now... not yet."

Mr. Xavier's voice sounded dry and exhausted.

"Although The Hayes Group and the Pierce family completely cut off all commercial cooperation with us over the past two days, Gideon himself hasn't directly issued an order to snipe the Xavier family's assets."

"Word has it that Gideon and Julian Pierce have been leading their men at The Southview Peninsula Hotel, tearing through all the city's cleaning systems and approval channels, investigating the truth of that night like absolute madmen."

"Now the entire upper-class circle of The Metropolis is in complete chaos. All the elite families are in a state of panic, terrified of being implicated in the slightest. But... as long as they are still investigating, as long as they are looking for the truth..."
