Following that statement, Sophia tossed her phone at Xavia… and to Xavia’s dismay, Sophia hadn’t lied. Dana had truly sent that message… and at that moment, Xavia felt like she had been struck by lightning. In the end, her legs went so weak that she had to wobble over to a bench to ensure that she would fall…
How… How could Madam Young have died because of her…? She had only refrained from telling her the truth due to their good relationship…! How had things gone so wrong so quickly…?!
Zivon himself was now frowning. After looking at the two for a bit, he held Sophia by the wrist before moving a bit further and saying, “We don’t know the exact details yet, so it’d do you good not to jump to conclusions. That aside, you should know for a fact that Xavia’s been helping your mother from the very start. With that said, I’m sure you’re well aware of how she feels about all this.”
Even if Xavia had indirectly caused most of this, her intentions had been kind, so she shouldn’t have to be blamed like that.
Regardless, Sophia simply sneered in response. There was no way in hell that she would let Xavia off the hook that easily! Her mother was dead for God’s sake! How much did this man love that woman for him to be this blinded by favoritism?!
Now fully inconsolable, Sophia retorted, “I beg your pardon, President Burton? My mother died! Are you expecting me to be grateful to Xavia instead? I apologize, but I simply can’t do that.”
Following that, Sophia walked off, prompting Zivon to squint as she went further and further away… After a sigh, he returned to the courtyard where Xavia could still be seen looking extremely downcast at the bench.
Walking to her side, he then said, “Don’t take what she said to heart. She’s just a bit irrational due to her anger at the moment.”
Naturally, there was no way that Xavia could ignore all that. For one, not only had she liked Dana, but she kind of considered Sophia to be a friend as well. With that in mind, how couldn’t she feel bad for indirectly causing Dana’s death while also making Sophia hate her? Even so, Xavia knew better than to wallow in self-pity. After all, she knew that in the end, the most agonized one was Sophia.
With that in mind, she collected her thoughts and got to her feet before saying, “…I’ll try not to. That aside, do help Miss Harrison with the funeral arrangements for now… I can only imagine how busy she’s going to be in the next few days…”
