Chapter 1023
However, before she could even get her phone, she suddenly heard a familiar voice say, “Oh my! What a coincidence, Xavia!”
Turning to face the voice, Xavia saw that it was a beautifully dressed Jenna together with Keith who had a fancy suit on. Naturally, the sight of the two instantly caused Xavia’s expression to sour.
Her hatred toward Jenna needed no explanation, but Keith. Oh, Keith…! In all honesty, she had been impressed by him before, but after he played along with getting Jenna out of that mess, Xavia realized that businessmen would always be businessmen. Who knew what else he was capable of? Still, since she still needed to collect evidence and bide her time, Xavia knew better than to lash out.
Forcing a smile, Xavia then asked, “…Indeed. What are you two doing here?”
“Oh, I’m here for my maternity check-up. I’m pregnant, remember?” replied Jenna with a smile.
…Wait. That wasn’t an act?
Sensing the disbelief in Xavia’s eyes, Jenna then said in a sincere tone, “…What? Did you think that was all an act? I truly am pregnant! That aside, since I now wish to be a good mother and live a nice life with Keith, let’s just put the past behind us, alright…?”
In all honesty, Xavia couldn’t help but feel moved. After all, to think that Jenna would actually be pregnant! Then again, Jenna and Keith did meet each other quite a few times in the past, so it shouldn’t be that much of a surprise to her… Even so, Xavia wondered what Keith would do with Linda’s child… Also, was Xavia really going to lay her hands on a pregnant woman…?
…No. She couldn’t trust this liar anymore! If this woman had motherly love, then she wouldn’t have tried to kill her back then! Hell, she wouldn’t have tried to kill Grandma…! With that in mind, Xavia gave a subtle glare at Jenna before putting a cheery façade on as she said, “…Congratulations. As long as you don’t continue messing with me, I’ll put the past aside.”
This, of course, instantly made Jenna relieved. After all, now that Xavia had Zivon, she was quite worried that Xavia would use him to help exact her revenge. Thankfully, her stupid sister was still weak to pregnant women…
Shaking the thought off, Jenna then faked a smile before replying, “I’m glad to hear that. Speaking of which, did you know that Young Master Burton is currently visiting Grandma—at the old mansion—with Sophia? Take it from me that Sophia isn’t as stupid as I am, and that Zivon actually admires her quite a bit… In other words, you’d best watch your back.”
Following that, Jenna wrapped her arms around Keith’s before walking off, leaving Xavia frozen in place…
…Zivon had said that something had come up at the time… That ‘something’ was him visiting Ava with Sophia…?! Wait, this was one of Jenna’s tricks, wasn’t it?! It had to be! Unsure what to believe, Xavia quickly got her phone out to give Zivon a call…
To her dismay, midway as she was waiting, she realized that Zivon had ended the call early! Before she could attempt to call again, she received a message from him, stating, ‘I’m almost done. Wait for me.’
…See? He was so busy that he couldn’t even pick up… With that in mind, Jenna was clearly lying! Not wanting to think about it anymore, Xavia then began scrolling through Facebook… However, the second she checked on the trending tab, her eyes instantly widened. At the top of the trending tab, was the hashtag, ‘#Young Master Burton and President Harrison meet!
The main post had the caption, ‘Young Master Burton headed to the old mansion with President Harrison at seven tonight, and it appears that the old lady likes her very much! Very few women have had the opportunity to head to the old mansion together with him, so this is big…! Are the two already meeting each other? Do our applications still count?’
Attached to the post, was a picture of the two getting out of Zivon’s car, apparently about to enter the old mansion. The two were equally irresistible-looking, and their powerful temperaments matched to a tee…
Even the people in the comment section were going wild, saying things like, ‘Be together! Get married already!’
‘It’s only right for such powerful people to be together!’
By this point, Xavia’s expression was completely rigid. Had he really gone back to the old mansion with Sophia…? He had been there from seven till now… and he hadn’t even bothered to answer her call…?
