An aggrieved Jenna replied, “Yes, you’re right, but I was forced into it! I already have Maison and a husband as wonderful as Zivon. How would I do something as disgraceful as having an affair?”
“The reason why I made out with Keith was because we were drunk at a family dinner and accidentally slept together. After that, he asked me out every now and then and started to pursue me. I was worried that he would make our affairs public, so I was forced to cooperate with him.”
“I did tell him that after the wedding, we would treat the whole thing as if nothing ever happened. That video was taken before the wedding. I never expected it...I didn’t think it would be exposed to the public.”
“Right now, the entire internet is laughing at me while discussing me enthusiastically. If this matter is pinned down on me, Grandma will definitely kick me out of the house, given her character. I will be loathed by the world and no longer have a foothold.”
Every word that came from Jenna was in excruciating pain, full of apprehension, and sounded terrified.
Xavia looked at Jenna. There was even a trace of sympathy from her. The high and mighty noble lady of the Lockhart family in the past would also be scared and pleaded for help.
But…
“What’s the use of you telling me this? Your prayers shouldn’t go to me.”
“It’s you, Xavia! You have to listen to me.” Jenna excitedly took Xavia’s hand and looked up at her, and explained, “You can step out and admit the woman in the video is you. You have to help me!”
What?
Jenna wanted her to take on the storm on her behalf! To be the woman who messed around with Keith! So this was the trap!
Xavia sneered and refused Jenna’s request outright, “That’s impossible! Your matter has nothing to do with me. I won’t be your scapegoat.”
“What about Maison? Don’t you care about Maison either?”
‘Maison? What does this matter have to do with Maison?’
Jenna explained every word seriously, “Once I am pinned down with this matter, Zivon will definitely divorce me. Then, the boy will be motherless. He will become the object of ridicule from now on. A laughing stock as a kid with an ‘incestuous mother’ and lived with it from his childhood all the way to his adulthood. The boy was already autistic. If he encountered such a matter again, I’m worried that he... can’t bear it.”
Xavia was stunned. Any other children would have the problem bearing that, not just Maison…She did not think of this.
