Pregnant and Favored: See You in the Morning, Young Master novel Chapter 1714

If Hershel’s earlier words had been a dagger to her heart, it now felt like she had been impaled with a spear. Nobody liked being a substitute, and though it hurt, she knew better than to express her displeasure to Hershel.

With that, she took a deep breath before saying, “…Why are you pretending like you know him well when you’ve never been a responsible father to him? You sicken me…”

“H-how dare you say that…?! Very well…! Let’s see who gets the last laugh, Xavia…! I assure you that even after he marries you, he’ll eventually divorce you to be with Whitney! Honestly, your shamelessness is on a whole other level…! Did you know that even if he stops work now, he’ll still be given millions of dollars every day! I can easily claim that he’s the most valuable man in the entire country!”

“Yet you…! A nobody from the countryside with zero education and familial ties wants to marry him? You’re just an ant who doesn’t know its own weight! He’s way out of your league, and getting into such a marriage will only bring you more trouble!” growled Hershel before stomping off, leaving Xavia momentarily too stunned to even react…

She didn’t need him to remind her that Zivon was like a literal God compared to her… but at the same time, she had also started seeing Zivon as a normal human now after being with him for so long. At the end of the day, as long as they loved each other, nothing else mattered. As for the public’s opinion… They probably didn’t mind either, especially after that Jenna fiasco…

With all that in mind, this was the first time in a long while that anyone had come looking for trouble with her regarding her social background. It was upsetting, to say the least. After all, there was nothing she could do to ever change all this. Unbeknownst to her, two individuals had been present in the shadows this entire time…

One of them was a frowning Jovan who couldn’t help but mutter, “That old fart must have a death wish! Should we teach him a lesson?”

Ian, for one, was really tempted to break that old man’s neck after hearing all those insults! However, he took a deep breath before saying, “…Oh, we’ll teach him a lesson, alright! But now’s not the time to strike!”
