"No..." Zena stared at the TV in the living room and couldn't stop shivering. Her face was getting paler and paler. She could not say a complete sentence but kept repeating no. A video was played on the TV. In the video, there were two men, and one of them seemed to be injured. The other man looked a little awkward, and there were injuries on his face. It seemed that he had been beaten. She could recognize that the man was... Andrew. The other man said that he just listened to his boss and didn't know anything else, but Andrew said that it was her who asked them to hurt Xavier nine years ago. The video was not long, but Zena couldn't bear to watch it halfway. She staggered, took a few steps back and then fell back on the ground. It seemed that she had lost all her strength. She gasped for air, as if she would suffocate to death in the next second if she didn't breathe rapidly. Seeing this, Xavier naturally didn't want to see the video anymore. He turned off the
Zena trembled violently, and her heart skipped a beat. Then, she was in a state of panic. "You said that you loved me, so you pushed me into the depth of despair and ruined my life. Even now, I am still living in pain." Xavier narrowed his eyes and said. He said every word in a light tone, but his voice was full of intense apathy and hatred. "You said that you loved me, so you watched me suffer and made me live a lonely life. You said that we had known each other for many years, and you knew that I had no parents and my only relatives were Jimmy and his parents. You did something wrong, but you shifted the blame onto Jimmy. As a result, I hated him, and he was guilty to me. In the past years, neither of us lived a good life because of you. Moreover, I went aboard because of you. I had no family there and didn't dare to make friends." "How can you be so heartless? Huh?" After saying this, Xavier closed his eyes in pain. Whenever he thought of those memories
"As time went by, Jimmy seemed to like me more. He almost hid nothing in front of me. I used him to get close to you, but I could know whether he was lying through his expressions and movements." "He found those people indeed. At first, I wanted to stop him, but after thinking about it, I pretended I didn't know about it." Saying this, Zena sighed helplessly, and her eyes were somewhat blurred, "I wanted to get you so much, so I thought that if Jimmy did so, you would not lose anything, but I..." "I know what Jimmy wanted. He just wanted to show me that you were not as good as you seemed to be and let me give up on you. But I knew everything, didn't I? Besides, even if you really slept with another woman, I didn't think I would leave you, because I loved you so much." "That day, I secretly followed Jimmy. However, I didn't expect that he would stop in the end. At that time, I was completely stunned. If he stopped, I still couldn't be with you, could I?" "Therefo
"Zena!" Jodie melted into tears as soon as she called Zena. Albert quickly walked to Zena. With sharp eyes, he immediately noticed the injury on Zena's face. Although he felt sad in heart, he did not say a word and just looked at Xavier. James also came in, followed by Richard. Xavier did not greet them, and his eyes were bland. Of course, James saw Zena's swollen face, but he did not say anything. "Zena..." Jodie took Zena's hand and sobbed, "Does your face hurt? I came here in a hurry, but..." As soon as she said this, she couldn't help looking at Xavier with anger in her eyes, "Xavier, how can you treat Zena like this? What did she do wrong?" Early in the morning, James brought a few people to her house and only asked where Zena had gone. Seeing James like that, she knew that he must want to do something bad to Zena. She thought that Zena had left anyway, and there was no need for her to hide, so she said that Zena had left for the airport.
"..." Seeing that Xavier did not speak, Albert was a little nervous. Jodie was very high-strung and her heart was about to jump out of her throat. In the past few years, they had been in the upper class, and they knew that daughters and sons of rich and noble families were very difficult to deal with. Although Albert was disappointed with Zena, she was his only daughter. If he didn't negotiate with Xavier and speak for Zena at this time, judging from Xavier and James's actions, he was afraid that... "Xavier..." Albert's mouth was dry. As soon as he called Xavier's name, Xavier said coldly, "No." Hearing this, Albert was stunned. He didn't realize what Xavier was talking about until two or three seconds later. His face turned pale. Jodie could not stay calm anymore. In a trembling voice, she said, "Xavier, don't say that. Can you calm down first?" "I'm very calm." Xavier said, "Almost ten years have passed. If I hadn't been calm for so man
Xavier sneered coldly, "I know you understand." Hearing this, Zena's mind went blank, as if she had been struck by lightning. Xavier's words were so brief, but these words kept ringing in Zena's ears, which made her have a splitting headache. Yeah... she understood what he was talking about. If she did not go to jail that day, she would die here... Ha-ha... She really wanted to laugh, but she couldn't. Her heart was full of sadness and despair. These two choices were like venomous snake and highly poisonous poison. In many cases, multiple-choice questions were the most difficult questions. People would choose the wrong option so easily. At this time, she was facing a multiple-choice question. There were only two choices, but it was very hard to choose. Should she choose to go to jail? She didn't want that. She didn't want to spend the prime of her life in a dark place where she couldn't see the sun. Should she choose to
John sat on the outermost sofa in the living room with his eyebrows knitted and his lips slightly pursed. He always looked dignified. At this time, he did not speak and looked so serious, which gave others an oppressive feeling. "John..." Albert swallowed and said with embarrassment, "As for this matter... Well, we are so sorry and we can apologize to Xavier. As long as you could speak for us and persuade Xavier... Please do me a favor for the sake that we've known each other for many years." Before John could say something, Albert added, "This time, John... as long as you help us, and as long as Zena won't be imprisoned, I will be deeply grateful to you for your kindness for the rest of my life." "That's right." Jodie said at this time, "John, I beg you. Zena is insensible and has caused trouble for you. This is our fault, because we didn't teach her well, but she has realized her mistake sincerely and she regrets it." John didn't say a word and glanced at Zen
After saying this, John narrowed his eyes, "You can't be so selfish." Albert was shocked. His body trembled, and he suddenly didn't know what to say. Zena knelt on the ground, shuddering. She felt a great chill run down her spine. Xavier breathed a sigh of relief. He was grateful and moved. How could Jodie accept what John had said? She was so excited that she blurted out, "I told you that Zena has realized her mistake! Why are you so aggressive? Xavier is fine now! How can you bully my family like this? You ruined our company in order to make yourselves happy! Now you even want to bully my daughter? Selfish? Who is the selfish one? You're going too far!" Albert pursed his lips. For fear that Jodie would anger John completely, he had no choice but to remind her, "Stop!" At this time, how could Jodie be persuaded so easily? She opened her eyes wide and kept yelling, "Why should I stop? They have really gone too far!" Saying this, she gasped and pulled
