# Chapter 82: A Sibling Rivalry and A Hidden Warning
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 82 of "The Untouchable Ex Wife" — a chapter that feels like a breath of fresh air after all the heavy emotional turbulence of the story so far. It's a moment where we get to see the charmingly chaotic sibling dynamic between Leia and Liam, and trust me, these two are absolutely hilarious together!
---
At long last, Leia finally released Xavier from her embrace. Deep down, she knew that if he stayed any longer, a confrontation between him and Liam would be inevitable — and that was a scene she desperately wanted to avoid. If those two alpha males ever got into a fight, she would be forced to make an impossible choice, and the very thought of breaking up with Xavier made her heart ache.
Turning her attention to her recently returned brother, Leia's eyes sparkled with mischief and affection. "You heartless man! You travelled the world for such a long time. Did you have any unforgettable experiences? And the most important thing is..." She paused dramatically, extending her palm toward him with childlike eagerness. "...Did you come home with a gift for me?"
As she cheerfully helped Liam carry his luggage into the grand Osborne Mansion, her excitement was palpable. But Liam, ever the protective older brother, was hardly in the mood to indulge her playful demands. His face remained clouded with worry and disapproval over the relationship he had just witnessed.
"The only gift I have for you is a slap! Do you want that?" He retorted, his voice laced with frustration. "I need to knock some sense into a lovestruck fool like you!" A wave of sadness washed over him as he gently patted her cheeks. His voice slowed, heavy with concern. "Didn't you suffer another heartbreak recently? Why did you jump into another abyss right after you just crawled out of one?"
There was a history here, painful and bitter. Liam couldn't help but blame himself for Leia's past failed relationship with William. He had been careless, too lenient, and his foolish sister had been tricked because of it. If only he had been stricter back then... But now, Xavier was an entirely different kind of threat. The man was experienced, slick, and far more sophisticated than William could ever hope to be. He operated in shadows and games that Liam himself wasn't entirely certain he could win against. So how on earth could a naive and innocent woman like Leia possibly stand a chance?
Leia pouted, her temper flaring. "Liam, I told you. Xavier is different from those bad guys. He loves me very much, and he deserves my love. You don't like him because you think that he's on Stefan's side. You just assume that your enemy's friend is your enemy too, don't you?"
Liam's face reddened slightly, caught off guard by her accuracy. "I'm not that petty..." he mumbled, scratching his nose in embarrassment. But he rallied quickly, scoffing at her romantic delusions. "You claimed that he loves you very much, but are you sure it's not just wishful thinking? He said he's a playboy and doesn't care about others, but you fawn over him like a fangirl. You drive me mad!"
Leia stomped her foot, utterly frustrated with her dense brother. "Hmph, you won't understand. It's because he's too proud and can't bring himself to admit that he loves me. Let me tell you a secret — his phone is full of photos he secretly took of me. He even told me that I am his bedtime dessert. Don't you see how much he loves me—"
But before she could finish her gushing confession, Liam's handsome face twisted into a mask of pure rage. "He took your photos secretly?" His voice dropped dangerously. "Oh, so he's not just a playboy, he's a pervert too. How can you date such garbage?"
"What? You're so mean! I don't want to talk to you anymore!" Leia threw Liam's backpack onto the floor with all her might and stormed away furiously, her cheeks puffed with anger. "Well, lucky for me, I don't want to talk to you either!"
But Liam was not about to let her off so easily. With his longer legs, he caught up to her effortlessly and deliberately bumped into her, sending her stumbling sideways.
"Liam! How old are you? Ugh, you're such a child!" Leia rolled her eyes dramatically, whacking his shoulder with her palm.
And just like that, they regressed to their childhood days — chasing and hitting each other through the spacious halls of Osborne Mansion. They made quite a commotion, shouting and laughing, but the night was late and the rest of the Osborne family had long since retreated into their slumber. For a moment, the vast, silent mansion was filled only with the echoes of their bickering.
A mischievous grin spread across Leia's face as she pushed Liam onto the plush sofa, determined to beat him up. She rained down playful punches, but her strength was no match for her brother's. In seconds, Liam had flipped their positions and pinned her down easily.
"Are you going to apologise? You know I'm right, you little witch!" He demanded, his fingers finding her ribs and beginning to tickle mercilessly. His eyes gleamed with triumph and brotherly mirth.
"Haha! Liam, you sly fox! Let me go!" She squirmed and shrieked between breathless laughs.
"Tell me you're sorry and that you won't be a kiss-ass first!"
"No, I won't. I... Hahaha!" Leia gasped for air, tears of laughter streaming from the corners of her eyes. Then, in a moment of desperate cunning, she froze and stared past his shoulder with wide eyes. "Ah, Ren, what are you doing here?"
The effect was instantaneous. Liam released her and snapped into a dignified sitting position, casually leaning back on the sofa as if he hadn't been mercilessly tickling his sister moments ago. He smoothed down his disheveled hair with practiced nonchalance.
"Pfft!" Leia burst into uncontrollable laughter at the sight. "Looks like you're a bigger kiss-ass than me, brother dearest! How dare you fool your brother! It's over for you!"
"NO —!" Liam roared, realizing he had been duped.

And with that scene of sibling love and playful warfare, this chapter comes to a close. It was a much-needed interlude — a glimpse of warmth and genuine family connection amidst the cold, calculating games of the business and romance world. Leia has a fierce ally in her brother, even if he expresses his love through constant nagging and teasing. But beneath the surface of their banter lies Liam's deep concern — and he has seen something in Xavier that continues to trouble him.
**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
To be honest, this chapter felt like a delightful slice-of-life moment. After chapters filled with intense emotional revelations and dangerous power plays, watching Leia and Liam revert to their childhood petty squabbles was pure joy. Their affection for each other is so genuine and heartwarming that I couldn't help but smile throughout the entire chapter. However, there's an undercurrent of worry — Liam's protective instincts tell him that something is off about Xavier, and given that this is the man who has been in the orbit of Stefan (a known enemy), we can't help but wonder if Liam's concerns are truly baseless or if they are a warning sign we should be taking seriously. The playful tone masks deep familial love and an impending storm.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.5 / 5 Stars
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
Now that Liam has returned and had his first proper interaction with Leia's new relationship, and with his lingering suspicions about Xavier's role in the ongoing conflicts with Stefan, I predict that Liam will waste no time investigating his sister's new lover. He will likely dig into Xavier's past and his true relationship with Stefan — and what he uncovers may place him in direct conflict with Xavier, potentially forcing both men to face each other in a serious confrontation. Meanwhile, Leia may be caught in the middle, realizing that her relationship is being tested not just by outside forces, but by the people she loves most.
