Chapter 311

“Young Master Burton, those are the past. I didn’t mean to do it either, so can you stop mentioning it?” Past? Zivon raised his brows coldly. “Miss Lockhart, are you so casual that you can easily refer to what has happened as the past? I’m not as generous as you are, Miss Lockhart.” He was not as generous as she was, or was he lusting after her beauty?! Xavia blushed furiously. “What do you want, Young Master Burton? Don’t forget that you are Jenna’s husband and also the chairman of Burton Group.” He was a married man with a noble status, so everyone’s eyes were fixed on him. As soon as something happened, all hell would break loose. She was threatening him. As Zivon narrowed his eyes, he took a step forward before hugging her and pressing her against the wall. He looked at her at close quarters and said in a deep voice, “So, do you know what kind of price you’ll have to pay for seducing me?” What? Who seduced him?! Xavia opened her mouth to retort but she suddenly came to a realization. He was not talking about the truth, but he was threatening her in return! As she had mentioned, he was Jenna’s husband, a married man and the chairman of a multinational group. If he was involved in any scandals, the fault would always lie with the woman, whereas he could easily manipulate the direction of the affair with a flick of his finger. Everyone would determine that she was ill-intentioned and was snobbish without even letting brother-in-law off. Then, they would scold her for being shameless and criticize her harshly. When that happened, her life would be worse than death. Damn it! She failed to threaten him but she got threatened instead! Did she really have to be so weak? The arrogant look on Xavia’s face was completely gone and it was replaced by fear and apprehension instead. “What do you want? You should also know that whatever happened between the both of us was unintentional and it didn’t happen out of my own free will. I hope that you’ll be magnanimous and don’t hold it against me.” At this moment, she lowered her voice and softly pleaded with him, behaving like a girl with a sense of propriety. As Zivon looked at her small, red lips, he had an even more sinister look in his eyes. “Don’t hold it against you? But I really feel like crushing the culprit who is still so peaceful and indifferent as if nothing had happened after causing trouble. “So, tell me. How are you going to calm the anger in my heart?” Xavia came to the realization! She understood now! She finally understood now! Generally speaking, when there was a little relationship between a man and a woman, the man would be possessive about the woman. Hence, when Zivon saw that she was keeping her distance from him and avoiding him, he felt even more upset. Her estrangement today had aroused his pride and possessiveness, to the point of anger at this moment. However, who was the one who distrusted her and despised her in the first place because he felt that she was dirty? Scum! Bastard! “By the way, I heard that you called me a bastard? I should settle this score properly with you too.” The man’s attractive and dangerous voice sounded. Xavia’s small face was extremely embarrassed! No way! Did Mrs. Lockhart even told Zivon about that? Damn it! She awkwardly said in a small voice, “I was just joking. Besides, a bastard, or a mutt, is so well-behaved, loyal and cute. Even if I called you a bastard, I was actually complimenting you.” “Heh. In that case, should I thank you then?” Zivon pinched her chin and lifted it forcefully as his eyes looked frigid. The rage within his eyes was sufficient to consume her. Xavia felt suffocating. It happened at this time… Knock! Knock! Knocking sounded from the door and followed by a voice outside the door. “Zivon, are you done talking yet?” It was Mrs. Lockhart! Xavia’s body shuddered vigorously as she was like a cat on a hot tin roof. Zivon and her posture and the content of their conversation were so intimate. If Mrs. Lockhart were to see them and find out the content of their conversation, it would all be over! Xavia raised her hands and tried to push him away. However, Zivon took a step forward again in his tall body, pressing against her directly! There was no gap between them!
