The very next morning, he quickly negotiated a contract with President Walker before boarding a plane back to Darlsbury... But unbeknownst to him, there was something else brewing within a ward back in Darlsbury!
“Miss Harrison! Though that b*tch had told us that she’d leave Young Master Burton’s side, she instead flew off somewhere to get Young Master Burton to go over to her! To be able to form such plans just for her personal advancement… How shameless!” growled the infuriated Jenna who was sitting on her wheelchair.
She, for one, had initially been glad that Xavia was finally gone. To think that Zivon would follow her in just a few hours!
“That aside, if she really wanted to break up with him, she wouldn’t have made it so easy for Young Master Burton to locate her! I’m sure she’s using this method to create the illusion of sadness, but alas, Young Master Burton doesn’t seem to see through her tricks! The fact that he actually tailed her all the way over to Thalassic City also highlights how incompetent we are compared to Xavia when it comes to playing cat and mouse!”
Upon hearing all that, Sophia—whose back was leaning against the bed—couldn’t help but go even paler than before… Honestly, even though her eyes were closed back then, she had heard Xavia telling her that she’d leave Zivon’s side so that Sophia could have her way… It had made Sophia think that at the very least, Xavia still had some semblance of consciousness…
She had honestly thought that their grudges could end with Xavia finally leaving her life… Alas, things had just gotten far worse than before.
When she first woke up and learned that Young Master Burton hadn’t stayed by her side ever since he dropped her off at the hospital, she had asked Jenna about it due to her burning curiosity… and in the end, she found out that the two were now in Thalassic City! It didn’t help that everything that Jenna had said made complete sense! Zivon’s heart truly did belong to Xavia…
Sophia’s train of thought was cut short when Alma suddenly walked over while reporting, “Um… Young Master Burton just called to ask if Miss Sophia is awake… He said that he’d come over in about two hours to talk to her…”
