Chapter 1036

Q: If Young Master Burton was stuck in a broken-down car in heavy rain with a sick female colleague, what would he do? A: Sit back and wait for rescue B: Dash to a pharmacy to get medication for his colleague C: Carry his colleague out in search of help D: Care for her in the car as much as he can E: Leave to save himself the hassle F: None of the above. Xavia had chosen B, mostly because he knew that he wouldn’t abandon a colleague in need. However, he wasn’t gentle enough to the point where he’d give a colleague any more care than that either. Her point of reference was Jenna, since Zivon hadn’t seemed to care much about her back in S City. Regardless, Zivon’s own answer was C, in which he’d carry his colleague out in search of help… He had even included a footnote, stating, ‘I’d only allow friends, especially female ones, to come along on business trips, so there’s no way that I’d leave her be. That aside, I wouldn’t just sit back and do nothing.’ This ended up startling several of the participants. After all, to think that that infamously icy man would be so righteous! Xavia hadn’t expected his answer as well, though… In the end, any female colleague of Zivon’s was most probably as outstanding as Sophia. If he could eat with her and celebrate her birthday together, then it only made sense that he’d show concern to her as well… Her train of thought was cut short when she heard Dolly exclaim, “My god! Have you seen the news, Xavia?! You’re in first place…!” As the overjoyed Dolly began shaking Xavia’s arm in glee, Bianca was quick to add, “Though you didn’t score a hundred, ninety-nine is still extremely impressive! Regardless, you can now be together with Young Master Burton without having to hide in the shadows anymore!” Despite how happy the two were for her, Xavia herself looked rather glum. Though she had won on paper, she knew that in reality, she had utterly lost to Sophia. That one question was proof that she and Zivon were simply lightyears away from each other… It was at that moment when a stern voice suddenly called out, “Is anyone home?” Upon hearing that, Bianca and Dolly quickly walked out to see who it was… and shortly after, they were greeted by the sight of several men in black. “…And all of you are…?” “Lady Burton wishes to speak with Miss Lockhart regarding the matchmaking app. We’re here to escort her,” replied one of the guards. This confused the duo. After all, wasn’t all this disclosed to the entire world? The old lady wouldn’t be able to fake any of this! Still, Ava wasn’t a person they could afford to mess with, so they quickly pushed Xavia out before saying, “May as well follow them! Don’t worry, you’ll still be able to be in an open relationship with Young Master Burton after today!” …Even if they said that… It was already all over between her and Zivon… The results weren’t going to change anything… As Xavia hesitated, the bodyguard was quick to declare, “You’ll meet Lady Burton, Miss Lockhart. Whether you like it or not.” Knowing Ava, Xavia knew that the guards weren’t kidding when they said that. That aside, she could already tell what Ava wanted to discuss. In the end, she sighed before following the group of men into their car… and shortly after, they arrived at the old mansion. Though Xavia was no stranger to the majestic courtyard, she couldn’t help but feel pressured being here again. After all, she was now under a new identity… Whatever the case was, the second Xavia got to the living room, she heard a powerful voice say, “It’s been a while, Third Young Lady…” Facing the voice, Xavia was greeted by the sight of the serious-looking Ava who was sitting on the main seat. What’s more, Sophia was sitting right next to that old woman…
