He said, “You are talking to Stefan on the phone? You’re buying a gift?”
It was a light and rhetorical question and it was inexplicably oppressive and compelling.
Xavia pursed her lips. “Mm. We only spoke for two minutes. Don’t worry. It’s my own cell phone and it won’t be tracked. Even if it’s tracked, it’s my identity, and it won’t affect you and Jenna.”
She gave a comprehensive explanation.
It was just so that she could come up with a reasonable reason for her to be talking affectionately with Stefan.
Zivon thought of how Xavia had been happily smiling with Stefan before, but was always so indifferent and restrained when she faced him, so he felt a surge of irritation for no reason at all.
“Come with me.”
“Ahh? Where are we going?”
“What do you think? Are you going to attend your father’s birthday banquet dressed like this?” Zivon said coldly before he strode away.
Even the wind around him was cold.
Xavia frowned.
He could have just said that they were going to buy clothes. Why did he have to be so cold?
She quickly chased after him, and she could not help but laugh when she saw him giving his secretary some instructions.
He was probably annoyed because he felt that she was getting in his and his secretary’s way by being here, right?
That was fine too. She also wanted to stay away from him. Otherwise, she would really be letting Stefan down.
All the way,
Neither one of them spoke up. Xavia was also sitting very close to the side. It felt as though there was a galaxy between them.
The atmosphere in the air was incomparably low and depressing.
Twenty minutes later, the car drove into Southwest Center’s underground parking lot.
All of the world’s top luxury brands were gathered here and it was the most prosperous and extravagant street. Even people who have never been here before would have heard of it.
Xavia opened the car door and got off right away.
She didn’t say a single word from the beginning to the end.
Zivon took her actions to heart, and a trace of coldness overflowed from the corners of his lips.
She wasn’t even going to talk to him anymore after speaking to Stefan on the phone? Her attitude suddenly became so cold?
Xavia was speechless.
She had never thought that he would be so shameless! There was obviously a clear reason for that incident, and he was also the one who had taken advantage of her. However, he was making it sound as though she was depraved.
She clenched her fists and pursed her lips as she said, “So, what if it’s me?”
“Tell me, if the Burton family and the media finds out that you asked your own sister-in-law to pretend to be your wife, then will they continue treating you with the same respect as always? Will Burton Group’s stocks plummet?”
Her voice was very clear and powerful.
It was an absolute counterattack, and a threat!
Zivon knitted his brows. He raised his hand and pinched her chin.
“You’re threatening me because of Stefan Talton?”
“So, what if I am? You were the one who threatened me first.”
Xavia struggled and moved away from his hand angrily. After that, she strode forward.
She didn’t want to be bothered with him at all.
She already felt very aggrieved because she had to replace Jenna, but he had to constantly oppress her. This was not the kind of life that a human being should have.
