His voice held no emotions whatsoever.
Those who were present were stunned.
“Someone schemed against Jenna?”
“What happened?”
“Hurry up and tell us what's going on. Is she going to make a fool out of herself?”
Everyone was staring at him in anticipation.
It was not one of them?
Keith narrowed his eyes, then smiled slightly. “It’s nothing, it’s just a small matter. In any case, it’s best if it’s not one of you. There is something I have to do, so I'll leave first.”
He stood up and left, his long strides graceful.
“Eldest Brother, Eldest Sister-in-law, does Keith have a soft spot for Jenna?”
“It’d be best not to let him in on the plan.”
“Yes, we'll handle it without him.”
“I want everyone to observe Jenna individually starting tomorrow. Try to find ways to test her. We have to make sure that she lets the cat out of the bag.”
“Yes… We have to destroy her.”
…
Xavia spent the whole night in the car with the dog.
She already knew that Zivon was cruel and dangerous, but it was only today that she truly realized the extent of it.
She suspected that he had no heart at all!
Her heart ached and her body was cold. She couldn't keep her eyes open, and fainted when she could not bear it anymore.
Woof! Woof! Blackie barked twice, then grabbed the thin blanket in the car in its jaws, throwing it over Xavia to cover her body. It pushed the car door open, jumped out and ran back to the villa.
It was 6.30am at the moment.
Zivon was exercising in the gym. He had already done more than a hundred abdominal crunches. His body was drenched in sweat, and his muscles were visible under his thin shirt.
Half an hour later.
In Zivon’s master bedroom.
Zayne put Xavia on an IV drip, then looked at Zivon and said heavily, “She has a high fever of 39.8 degrees, and might even suffer from brain damage because of it. Zivon, did you throw her into an icy lake to punish her or did you put her into the refrigerator and freeze her overnight? She is actually seriously ill now.”
Zivon pursed his lips.
If it was possible, he would like to throw her into an icy lake and feed her to the fishes.
He said coldly, “I simply asked Blackie to guard her in the car for one night. There is air-conditioning in the car… Is that considered a punishment?”
Zayne shook his head vigorously. “Not at all. Blackie looks fierce but he does not bite at all. I have to say, Zivon, you are always so intolerant and will not allow anyone to make even the slightest mistake, but even after she did something like that with Keith Burton, you let her off so easily?”
Based on Zivon’s character, he normally would have given her a very harsh punishment for something like that.
Zivon glanced at Xavia who was on the bed, then looked at Zayne intently. “Do you really think that something happened between Xavia and Keith Burton?”
“Huh? What do you mean? Is that not the case?”
Zivon’s face fell.
