Zivon was absolutely terrifying this close up, and his tone reminded her of a beast lurking in the darkness, waiting to swallow her whole…
As if that wasn’t enough, Xavia was left slightly stunned now that she knew that he had seen her with these clothes that night. She had made sure to carry the garments on her back too…
Still, what did any of this have to do with him? Why was he so angry? Whatever the case was, she was instantly saddened just recalling what he had done that night. With that, she was prompted to say, “…You wouldn’t believe whatever I said anyway, Young Master Burton. Since that’s the case, why even bother asking me to elaborate?”
“…You wouldn’t have believed yourself either if you were in my shoes… Regardless… I’m giving you a second chance to explain yourself. Do it properly,” commanded Zivon. This was a clear warning, and anyone who knew Zivon in the slightest would know that he never gave others second chances…
Despite the seriousness of his tone, the corners of Xavia’s mouth simply curled into a smile as she replied, “Look, you’re clearly the one who misunderstood the situation and tried to harm me. Despite that, to think that you’d still act this condescendingly high and mighty as you order me to explain myself by giving me a ‘second chance’… I guess that shows just how different both of us are… Regardless, I do have some things that I’d like to clarify.”
“I’m sure you see me as nothing but a plain, ordinary, and penniless woman whom you can bully as you please, Young Master Burton. In fact, you probably see me as nothing more than your plaything. Even so, please just leave me be. After all, I still need to make money to support Yulia as well as myself. I really don’t have the energy or even qualifications to spend time acting all ambiguous and playing around with you.”
“Please understand that I’m different compared to the girls you usually get along with. Just so we’re clear, I’m only willing to interact, get along with, and date a good man who’s able to move my heart. With that said, I’d never get married to someone like you, Young Master Burton. Besides, the person you’re married to is my elder sister.”
“I hope you still remember that I’m merely cooperating with you by taking her place. With that said, you have no right to be angry with me, nor do you have a right to interfere with my private affairs. Either way, the second Jenna awakens, we’ll simply return to our respective lives. We won’t need to deal with each other anymore by that point.”
“As for what happened that night… If you’re willing to believe me, then look into the man on the second floor that night who was wearing a cap. If you prefer not to believe me, so be it. Now then, I’ve already said everything I wanted. Since I still have some matters to attend to, I won’t be taking any more of your time, Young Master Burton,” said Xavia as she slipped away from his arm before walking toward the bathroom…
From the start till the end, every word she said was clear and powerful. With how calm she looked while saying all that, it almost felt like she was talking to a complete stranger… Regardless, Zivon himself remained frozen in place, feeling like he had just been tossed into a bottomless abyss…
