"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
"Uncle... thank you." Xavier said after sitting in the car for quite a while. He thanked John, because John didn't ignore his intention, and he didn't treat him with prejudice after he knew the truth. John and he sat side by side in the back seat of the car. Hearing this, John sighed lightly, "Xavier, you had suffered so much harm and grievances, but why didn't you tell me that year?" If Xavier told him earlier, he would have dealt a blow to the Meng family a long time ago. Anyway, he would never allow anyone to bully his child. When Zena hurt Elizabeth for the first time, he let her go for the sake that they had known each other for so many years. However, he had his limits. It had been so long since Xavier was hurt. He felt sorry for Xavier, and blamed himself at the same time. At that time, James and Xavier were studying in the school, and he was busy with managing the company and socializing with his business partners. He thought that they had grown up
The next day, it was blowing hard. That day, Zena was convicted of multiple crimes and was sentenced to ten years in prison. John blocked this news for Xavier's reputation, so not many people knew about it. Liron and Andrew were also sentenced. However, they were different. Liron was not the chief culprit, and he would be imprisoned for five years. As for Andrew... he would be put to death in a month. Xavier stood in the small garden and looked at the flowers and plants in front of him. There was no joy or sorrow on his face. Early in the morning, he learned this news from James. He had known that the result would be like this, but he was stunned when he heard that. Later, he had been standing here all the time. In fact, he didn't think too much. He just felt it a little boring all of a sudden. In the past, he was afraid and uneasy, and he even said that he would teach those people a lesson. But after everything came to an end, he suddenly
In the following days, everything was peaceful and wonderful. Although John did not talk much, he chatted with Elizabeth occasionally and cared about her diet. Lydia prepared different nutritionally balanced menus for her every day. Apart from chatting with Elizabeth, she took a walk with Elizabeth in the neighborhood and talked about the gossips of stars. As for James, he was very good to her. Ignoring the fact that he didn't know how to cook, he was a perfect husband. Everyone treated Elizabeth very well, and she often felt that she was living like a pig. Except for going out for a walk with Lydia sometimes, she slept and ate all day long. She has just come home for ten days, but she had gained six pounds. That day, when Elizabeth finished washing up and looked into the mirror, she could vaguely see her jowl. At first, she was stunned. Then, she looked at herself in the mirror carefully. When she found that she was really jowly, she sighed helplessly. She retu
