By this point, Zivon’s brows were tightly knit together. That little woman hadn’t bothered to tell him any of this…! After a while, he was prompted to ask, “…So the only reason she came back was to find the truth about Jenna?”
Just hearing that woman’s name made Dolly angered as she replied, “…You say it as though she’s targeting that woman! Just so you know, Jenna’s the one who’s been targeting her all these years! …Ah, forget it. Regardless, while we still can’t tell whether she was the cause of the car accident, we do know that only she could come up with a fake pregnancy situation! With that said, whatever Xavia’s planning to do to her, Jenna had it coming!”
“Though I say that, we haven’t even managed to scratch that woman! While we’re on the topic, you should know that the second she learned that her pregnancy was fake, Xavia really tried to win you back. I know she meant it since even though she was wheelchair-ridden at the time, she still made her way to the Civil Affairs Bureau just to look for you. Unfortunately, we bumped into Young Master Saltman instead…”
“It was then when Young Master Saltman told her the truth behind your marriage. That you had only done it to protect her. Naturally, she was simultaneously shocked and hurt to hear that. It made her feel like she’d never be good enough for you, so she stopped trying around then… Following that incident, Xavia impersonated Jenna so that she could get information from Jenna’s manager, but alas, she bumped into you each time…”
“Again, she never tried to hurt you on purpose, Young Master Burton… However, you ended up kidnapping her because of Jenna… Look, I don’t know whether you still love Xavia or not, but please understand that she’s lost her beloved Grandma, and Yulia is still in the ICU… She’s literally on the brink of insanity, so please let her off, Young Master Burton… I beg of you…”
After hearing all those heavy words, Zivon’s expression was as icy as the wintriest of nights. He couldn’t help but recall the night when Xavia had said that she wanted to get back with him… So that woman had meant every word she said at the time…! And he had disregarded her then, of all times…! D*mn it all…!
“…Why didn’t either of you tell me about this earlier…?” growled Zivon who was angry with himself for not catching on sooner. After all, there’s no way he would’ve done all that had he known the truth about the situation!
Regardless, Dolly simply smiled bitterly in response as she said, “I really wanted to, but Xavia kept insisting that you had moved on, and that she didn’t want to disturb you anymore… That aside, didn’t you and Jenna officially get married…? With that said, it’s kind of pointless of me to say all this to you, now that I think about it…”
This left Zivon momentarily stunned. True enough, he had gotten together with Jenna just to humiliate her… For f*ck’s sake…! In the end, Zivon ended up punching the wall in frustration, causing his knuckles to bleed a little…!
