# Chapter 170: Files, Fury, and a Lesson in Maturity
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 170 of "The Untouchable Ex Wife" — and let me tell you, this chapter delivers a moment that manages to be both physically painful and oddly heartwarming at the same time. So brace yourselves, because we're about to witness explosive anger, a very unexpected missle, and Leia at her most motherly.

The elevator doors slid open with a soft chime, revealing the long, quiet corridor of the top floor. Leia took a steadying breath, ready to storm into Xavier's office and have it out with him. But to her surprise, the employee beside her made no move to step out. Instead, the young woman offered Leia a nervous smile and an encouraging nod. "You can do it," she said softly. "I won't go in with you, but you can call us if anything happens."
Leia blinked, caught off guard. Call them? What exactly did that mean? But before she could ask, the employee practically scurried away, pressing the down button with frantic haste. The elevator doors closed on the woman's retreating figure, leaving Leia standing alone in the hallway, a sinking, uneasy feeling curling in her stomach.
She huffed in irritation, her brow furrowing. "Why do I feel like..." she muttered to herself, trailing off. Something was clearly wrong. The employees had been acting strange all day — skittish, nervous, walking on eggshells. Whatever mood Xavier was in, it couldn't be good. But Leia wasn't the type to back down from a confrontation.
Shaking off her unease, she squared her shoulders, marched toward the office door, and pushed it open without ceremony.
What happened next was so sudden, so violent, that Leia had barely a second to register the danger.
A stack of files came flying at her like a weapon — papers fanning out mid-air with terrifying speed.
"How dare you come back?! This proposal is even more ridiculous than the trainee you found!"
"Ah!" The sharp corner of a folder cracked against her cheek and forehead, sending a searing bolt of pain through her skull. Leia stumbled backward, a pained scream escaping her lips before she could stop it. The impact stung viciously — her face throbbed where the thick cardboard had made contact.
Silence hung in the air, heavy and awkward.
Xavier froze. His eyes widened in horror as he recognized the woman now clutching her face. He had expected another subordinate to come groveling for forgiveness with yet another shoddy proposal. He had not expected *her*. The anger drained from his expression instantly, replaced by the guilty, panicked look of a child who had just broken his mother's favorite vase.
"I... why are you here?" His voice cracked, losing all its earlier fury. He hurried around his desk, rushing to her side, his hands hovering awkwardly as he reached for her. Trembling, he gently touched her head, tilting it to inspect the damage. His voice dropped to a worried, anxious whisper. "How are you? Do you need to go to the hospital?"
"Go away!" Leia shoved him back with force, her other hand pressed against her throbbing face. Her voice was venomous, dagger-sharp. "You could use a gentler way if you wanted to kill me. You know I can't stand pain."
Xavier winced. "I'm sorry. I didn't know it was you. I—"
"Does it matter who it was?" Leia cut him off, her pain morphing into pure indignation. She fought back the sting of tears and instead channeled her anger into a proper lecture. She lifted her chin, glaring at him through watery eyes. "You're turning thirty in a few years," she said, biting each word out clearly, "so can you behave like a mature adult for once?"
The CEO of a massive company stood silent, chastened, looking like a schoolboy who'd been caught throwing rocks at windows.
"They're here to work for you," Leia continued, her voice rising with frustration and genuine distress. "You don't own their lives. Do you have to be so fierce towards them? If the person who came in here was suffering from high blood pressure, they would have died on the spot from this. How would you resolve it then?"
Her words weren't just a reprimand — they were a mirror held up to his behavior, forcing him to see the ugliness of his temper reflected right back at him. Her tone shifted, sounding less like an angry ex-wife and more like a disappointed mother scolding an unruly child who should have grown up by now.
And Xavier couldn't meet her gaze. His eyes darted to the side, a guilty flush crawling up his neck. For a man who dominated boardrooms and commanded legions of employees, he was surprisingly silent and subdued, looking anywhere but at Leia's wounded face.

And that, my dear readers, is how Chapter 170 comes to its close — with Leia's pain, Xavier's guilt, and a relationship that continues to blur all the lines between hostility, affection, and maternal scolding.

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
Oh, what a rollercoaster of a chapter! My heart actually skipped a beat when Xavier hurled those files at the door — and then skipped again when I realized it was Leia who took the hit. This woman cannot seem to catch a break around her ex-husband, and yet she never fails to stand her ground. I loved every second of Leia's fierce, motherly scolding. There was something so beautifully human about watching the powerful, intimidating Xavier shrink into a guilty little boy around her. Their dynamic is endlessly fascinating — equal parts warring exes and close companions. The chapter was short, but it packed an emotional punch that left me aching for more. The physical pain, the awkward tenderness, the lingering guilt — all of it was perfectly written.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
Will Xavier actually swallow his arrogant pride and properly apologize to Leia? Given his remorseful expression and her wounded face, I predict the next chapter will bring a tender moment where Xavier struggles to express his true feelings — possibly offering to tend to her injury himself. But knowing Leia's fiery spirit, she won't make it easy for him. She'll probably push him away again, only for him to reveal yet another layer of vulnerability — perhaps explaining *why* he was in such a furious state in the first place. Could the source of his anger be jealousy? Revenge? Or something connected to their complicated past?
