Chapter 1034
In return, Xavia simply smiled bitterly. Rather than make things difficult for her, he was intent on completely ignoring her… He hadn’t even allowed her to explain herself back then, and he had even threatened to end their relationship… As it turned out, he placed higher value on his work and Sophia…
Though she was deeply upset by the thought, she didn’t want Yulia overhearing any of this, so she quickly replied, “…Things are fine. Now let’s get in the car and have a look at the design…”
“…Very well,” said Keith, prompting the trio to enter the car before driving off shortly after…
Unbeknownst to them, Zivon had been watching this entire time from his Maybach that had been parked at the corner of the car park. As the car disappeared from sight, Zivon’s eyes couldn’t help but go dark. How had that sweet girl suddenly switched sides this quickly…? Were there truly no sincere women on the planet…?
Either way, it wasn’t long before an image of Xavia and Keith made it into the headlines! In the picture, Keith could be seen opening his car’s door to help Xavia—who was carrying quite a bit of things—out. With how friendly they looked, everyone immediately saw them as couple-like.
‘…Is Young Master Keith two-timing?’
‘Xavia’s probably the one who initiated all this! Knowing how kind Young Master Keith is, he was most likely unable to decline her request!’
‘This woman is really something else! To think she has the guts to do all this after pretending to be Jenna and getting dumped!’
‘How shameless! Go seduce someone else!’
Since Zivon hadn’t stepped in this time, the news quickly went viral, garnering over ten thousand comments in less than half an hour! It didn’t help that some people began saying things like, ‘If some of you aren’t aware, something similar happened last night! There was a trending post that showed her hooking up with Young Master Keith at the hospital! However, it quickly got taken down!’
‘The hell? She’s capable of deleting such posts so quickly now?! To think that I used to assume she was a nice person…!’
‘That b*tch can burn in the flames of hell…!’
After reading through all those insults, Dolly stomped her foot while growling, “Who the hell took that photo…?! That assh*le is clearly just trying to smear Xavia’s reputation!”
It was around then when Xavia got home… and upon seeing how exasperated Dolly was, Xavia couldn’t help but ask, “…Did… something happen?”
“Look at this bullsh*t! They’re saying you’re cheating with Young Master Keith again! It doesn’t help that all those numbskulls in the comments keep insulting you! That aside… Young Master Burton helped cover up the previous cr*p, right? Get him to deal with this as well! Otherwise, it could permanently affect your reputation!” grumbled Dolly.
“…What?” replied the dumbfounded Xavia as she read through the post on Dolly’s phone… and once she was done, she found herself even more confused.
Someone had slandered her reputation before this? And this was the second time? Thankfully, some of the commenters had posted screenshots of the previous post, which allowed Xavia to at least be sure that this wasn’t just a hoax. Still… for someone to take care of it so late at night… Had it been Zivon? Or Keith?
Regardless, Xavia knew that this had to be dealt with quickly, so she quickly got on Facebook and began typing, ‘Young Master Keith and I are just friends, and he only gave me a ride today to discuss some design plans. I believe @Keith has a car monitor. If so, could you share the video?’
It didn’t take long for Keith to react, and soon after, the video was online for all to see. From start to finish, Xavia had sat in the back seat, with Yulia sleeping by her side. Thankfully, the child was small enough to be obscured from the camera’s view. Regardless, the two had conversed naturally with zero physical contact up till the point Keith helped her out of the car. After thanking Keith, Xavia had left without another word…
‘…This is… nothing like I had imagined!’
‘Forget being friends, the two almost felt like strangers throughout the video…’
‘Hey, you’re all missing the point here! Apparently Xavia’s the designer of the green space?!’
‘That’s right! To think she was able to come up with such a grand concept! What a genius!’
‘Hey, where are all those b*stards who cussed at her? Come out and apologize!’
Reading through the comments, Xavia couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. She was just about to send Keith a thank-you message, but before she could even start typing, Xavia received a message from Keith first, stating, ‘I wanted to step in a bit earlier, but I was worried that I’d accidentally bring you more trouble. With that said, please accept my heartfelt apology…’
