In a magnificent single apartment, she sat on the sofa and sized up the luxury that she had never seen before. She and an elegant, scholarly man reservedly clasped hands together. “Young Master Keith, thank you for protecting me during the critical moment. If it weren’t for you, I would have been taken away by Xavia Lockhart’s men.”
Keith poured a glass of fresh juice elegantly before he walked over and handed it over to her. He sat down on the sofa and said, “You kept talking about Xavia Lockhart. Do you have any important evidence?”
The person in front of her was too friendly and gentlemanly, looking like someone knowledgeable and polite at first glance.
Without a second thought, Maria answered truthfully, “No, but I have known Xavia Lockhart for more than ten years. I will not mistake the aura on her. The fact that she did not dare to stand up to confront me today proves that she clearly has a guilty conscience. Besides that, Xavia Lockhart also came to Darlsbury, but no one had heard from her at all during this period of time. She’s fully under suspicion of the crime.”
So, there was no definitive evidence?
Keith’s eyes under his gold-rimmed glasses darkened as he gave her a friendly reminder. “Miss Labelle, I understand you but you should also know that everything relies on evidence. With such empty words, no one will believe you.”
“Yes. I know that too. Therefore, I am grateful that you could take the time to listen to me. I won’t act recklessly. I’ll definitely find evidence for Xavia Lockhart’s impersonation!” Xavia said solemnly as her eyes looked sharp.
She seemed to harbor a deep hatred for Xavia.
Keith did not care about Xavia. In his opinion, it was not the time to reveal the truth yet. At the very least, Xavia could not be in any danger as long as Jenna was not awake.
He pushed his glasses and said, “Miss Labelle, my secretary just reported that Uncle Zivon’s men are still looking for you out there. You’re bound to be in danger if you go out in these two days. How about this? You will hide here at my place first and think about any potential evidence. You will come out to expose the truth when they think you have already left and disappeared. What do you think?”
His tone was soft and gentlemanly with a refined temperament.
A gentle gentleman was the deadliest.
The overjoyed Maria could not conceal her excitement as she said, “Is that really possible?”
“Mm. You can also tell me if there is anything that you need.”
“Thank you! Thank you so much!” Maria’s cheeks were flushed and her eyes gleamed. She obviously thought that Keith liked her.
Keith smiled faintly before he turned around and walked out of the apartment.
Zivon glanced at her and casually replied, “It’s the birthday gift that I prepared for Jenna which will be posted on social media.”
So, that was it! It was for Jenna!
Xavia knew that from his casualness and based on her understanding, the owner of this moment was not Jenna.
She smiled faintly and said, “Okay. I will cooperate with you to take pictures.”
Both of them sat at the dining table. Nathan quickly took out his cell phone to take pictures. Before Xavia could even pose for the picture, Nathan said, “Young Master, Miss Lockhart, I already took the pictures.”
So fast?
Sure enough, it was perfunctory.
No. She should feel relaxed if he was perfunctory. What was she complaining about in her mind?
