With how icy his tone was, the trembling Nathan was quick to kneel before Xavia and plead, “M-Miss Lockhart…! You know deep down that he isn’t such a person, right…? With that said, please stop throwing such accusations…!”
Whitney herself paused for a moment before saying, “…Indeed, Miss Lockhart! Zivon is simply concerned for me as a friend, and it really isn’t what you think! So please stop saying such things to him…! He really loves you, you know…?”
Xavia would’ve been fine had anyone else said those to her… Alas, the people trying to convince her were Zivon’s lapdog and his mistress! The sheer irony…! In the end, she was prompted to reply, “…You know what? Maybe you’re all right! Maybe I’m just being completely unreasonable! With that said, a villain like me doesn’t deserve to be among all of you! Now then, Young Master Burton, please let me leave!”
For a moment, Zivon thought that she had finally seen the error in her ways. Sadly, by the time her sentence was over, he realized that she had learned nothing!
Since he didn’t say a word, the bodyguards didn’t move… and after a while, Xavia glared at Zivon before growling, “I need to use the bathroom. Unless I don’t have a right to do that?”
…In the end, all he could do was glance at one of the bodyguards, and he stepped aside to allow Xavia out…
As Xavia bolted out without the slightest hesitation, Whitney couldn’t help but raise a slight brow. This was the first time she had ever seen someone speak with Zivon with such a tone… and in the end, she couldn’t help but mutter, “…Don’t you find Miss Lockhart to be a bit rude, Zivon…?”
After giving her a glance, Zivon replied, “There’s nothing rude about her doing whatever she wants in front of her husband. If she’s being impolite, then it’s only because I spoiled her too much.”
