Chapter 320

“You should listen to my arrangements on what you should say and do after you go in later.” His tone was attractive and low. He clearly did not say anything about a plan but she felt that he had thought of a way, giving her an inexplicable sense of security. He should already have a plan in mind, right? Was he waiting here on purpose? He knew that she would certainly back down. Mixed emotions filled Xavia’s heart. In spite of hating him that she did not want to have any interactions with him, she still had to submit to him and rely on him at the end of the day. It seemed that she was no different from Mrs. Lockhart, right? When both of them stepped into the old mansion, another gentle and graceful figure stepped out of the darkness of the night. As he stared at their slowly fading backs, he narrowed his eyes under his glasses with a look of amazement, disbelief and fierceness. Jenna fell into the water on her wedding day and was now in a vegetative state? The person just now was not Jenna? Who was it then? He turned around and left quickly to look into it. In the traditional living room in the Burton family’s old mansion, the lights were brightly lit and almost all of the furniture and furnishings in the mansion was made out of dawn redwood, exuding a faint fragrance. However, an old woman was seated in the highest armchair, looking serious. The other people sitting on either side also had various different expressions on their faces. The atmosphere was oppressive and depressing. Xavia, who followed Zivon’s side, walked over there and said nervously, “Good evening, Grandma.” “What is so good about the night? You both anger Grandma so much that she already has one foot in the grave now!” Helen spoke up to add fuel to the fire, fearing that the conversation would not heat up. The other people also chimed in. “That’s right, Miss Lockhart. Oh, no. Should I say Miss Princess instead? You seem to enjoy showing your face in public and appear on the trending search every other day.” “You even posted pictures of you in your pajamas on the Internet to display your affection to others? Are you really that afraid that people would not remember your existence?” “Uncle Zivon, why are you now relying on making appearances and creating hype to get noticed now? Aunt-in-law even dared to disrespect you in front of people all over the world! Do you know what all the netizens are talking about now? I’m really worried about the company’s stocks.” Each and every word was just an attempt to rub salt into the wound. Zivon stood coldly and arrograntly under the light with a handsome appearance and a chill aura around him. Not a trace of panic was visible on him, but on the contrary, he seemed dangerous. It seemed that someone else had made a mistake. The voices of the few people gradually diminished until they became completely silent. No one dared to continue talking about this noble man who seemed like an exile immortal. 　　 What did it mean to shake the audience without saying a word? This was it! Xavia, who secretly felt relieved, spoke up, “Grandma, Big Brothers and Sisters-in-law, and all of my dear relatives, things are not as you see it is. I didn’t mean to disrespect Zivon.” Ava sitting on the main seat finally spoke up in a serious voice. “What’s going on then? Jenna, in my eyes, I know that you aren’t such an ignorant girl. I hope that you’ll explain yourself clearly.” If she could explain things clearly, she would still be that good girl in her eyes. If she could not explain things clearly… Xavia clenched her fists slightly and said, “Grandma, in fact, Zivon and I have been acting all this time. Those love proclamations I posted were just shows for the news and media.” What? What?! They were just acting? To put on an act for the news and media? Ava narrowed her eyes and asked, “What is the meaning of this? Explain the whole story clearly to me.” Everyone else also fixed their eyes on Xavia as they were full of curiosity. Xavia pursed her lips. She glanced at Zivon before she slowly explained, “Someone tried to scheme against me during my father’s birthday banquet the last time. They even tried to get a man to molest me in order to ruin both the Burton family’s and the Lockhart family’s reputations. I was very scared and helpless at that time. “After encountering Zivon, not only did he distrust me, but he even believed in Fiona’s words and thought that I was secretly having a secret rendezvous with another man. He even forced me to apologize to Fiona. “I was very disappointed in him. Ever since that day, I went back to Lockhart Mansion with the excuse of recuperating at home in preparation for a second pregnancy. I just posted those pictures on the Internet so that we could maintain a superficial relationship lest people would make a big fuss out of our relationship. “Young Master Saltman also knows about this matter. He specially invited us to meet up out there tonight in an attempt to help us to reconcile.” Not only did her words show the grievances that she had suffered, but it also showed her generosity. She was willing to maintain their relationship even when she had been wronged.
