Pregnant and Favored: See You in the Morning, Young Master novel Chapter 618

Meanwhile, two guards were whispering to each other at a table near Xavia’s cell.

“Did you know that Young Master Burton came over today? He was even more imposing than he looked on the news! He truly is an extraordinary man…”

“He’s really nice too. After all, he occasionally comes over to meet his fourth uncle, and he’s been doing this in the past decade. How affectionate and filial!”

“You say that, but he’s quite ruthless to others…”

“Huh? Why would you say that?”

“Well, our leader had assumed that Young Master Burton would want to meet Xavia before this. After all, she’s his relative, so it’d only be normal for him to pay her a visit. That aside, when our leader asked Young Master Burton if he wanted anything else arranged for him, Young Master Burton actually pretended not to know what our leader was talking about! He didn’t even mention Xavia’s name and simply met up with his fourth uncle before leaving…”

“…That… you may want to keep it down. She’s already in pretty bad shape and I believe it’ll be even harder for her to come around if she were to hear about this…”

“…Agreed.”

Unfortunately for them, Xavia had already heard all of it!

When she first heard Zivon’s name, her eyes instantly lit up and she rushed to the door to eavesdrop. After all, she had thought that he had come over to save her. Unfortunately, that was far from the truth. In fact, now that she knew what had happened, she felt like an icy blade had been stabbed into her heart…

How strange… She already knew that she didn’t mean anything to someone as high and mighty as him. Besides, who would want to be associated with a murderer? With that in mind, why was her heart still aching this badly…?

Her train of thought was cut short when the iron door creaked open. Following that, a guard appeared at the door and said, “You’re Xavia Lockhart, correct? The Fourth Master has requested you to have a chat with him.”

…Fourth Master? The person Zivon had met with earlier? Why did he want to talk to her? Before Xavia could even reply, another guard came over to say, “Hold it. Young Master Keith is here, and he’s applied for the necessary documents. With that said, we should prioritize taking her to him.”

Taking a good look at the document—that had an official seal on it—that Keith presented to her, Xavia couldn’t help but tremble in disbelief. Written clearly on the document, was text that stated that she was free to go…!

After taking the paper and reading through it again, Xavia—whose hands were now quivering like jelly—was prompted to ask, “…H-how did you do it…? What happened…?”

In response, Keith replied in a soft voice, “When I heard about the incident, I did some investigating of my own and got someone to perform an autopsy on the corpse. Ultimately, it was discovered the guard had actually died of a heart attack. The abdominal wound wasn’t what killed him.”

“With that in mind, Mike Walston has to take responsibility for all this since he hired the dead man without checking his physical condition. That aside, I negotiated with Mike to keep the matter suppressed. I even had him give a compensation of twenty million dollars to the parents of the deceased man.”

“What more, upon learning that their son had actually died of a heart attack, they had nothing else to say. Now that they’ve taken the money, the matter is essentially dealt with…”

…So… this was what truly happened…?
