Despite how confident Xavia sounded, Sophia was still unwilling to believe all this. In the end, she stared her straight in the eye while asking, “T-then why haven’t you told Young Master Burton about this?! And why haven’t you announced it to the public?! You’re clearly too chicken to do it, right?!”
“As they say, the wicked will only judge others by their own wickedness. From what you just said, I believe you think I should’ve told Young Master Burton about all this at the time, correct? Or that I should’ve shown Yulia to him right after I gave birth to her? Lived a prosperous life with him simply because I bore his child? Actually, with how you usually do things, I should’ve just staged a tragic show and broadcasted it to the entire world, right? Forced him to marry me?”
As Sophia was left speechless, Xavia added, “You and Jenna may have done that, but I have principles to withhold. All I’ve ever wanted was for Grandma to be cured, and for my sister to have a happy marriage… To think that I now have to focus on keeping my daughter safe as well. Either way, I’m not like you people, and I can say that since I’ve seen how heartless you can be.”
“With that said, do you honestly think that the prestigious Young Master Burton would ever fall for someone like you? Then again, given how easily you’re blinded by desire, I don’t expect you to understand. Regardless, don’t ever dry harming me or my daughter again. I’ll have you know that had you won Young Master Burton’s heart through your talent, I would’ve given up on him.”
“But since you keep using shoddy methods, I wonder if I should expect to see you on the ethical reality show soon,” concluded Xavia.
The ethical reality show was a domestic program that circled around exposing moral wrongdoings. Not only did the hosts publicly interrogate people, but they also exposed their unethical methods, and actively made accusations. While it was true that the wrongdoers wouldn’t be sentenced to prison, the impact of being on the show would leave them with a bleak future…
