Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 691

At first, Xavier hesitated about whether to make this decision or not.

The reason was that the driver had been working with him for several years and had always done well, so he was unwilling to let the driver sacrifice his life in vain if he did not get a fair verdict.

Then, he figured it out.

When it came to things like a “fair verdict”, even if it was fair, a dead person would not be able to see it. The most important thing was to help him take care of his family and not allow them to suffer any harm.

The Foster family could not touch Spencer Nolan now, but they would have their revenge sooner or later.

Thinking about this, a stern light flashed in Xavier’s eyes. However, it only appeared for a moment before disappearing. It was followed by his usual gentle expression.

He looked at John beside him and said, “There’s nothing to see here. Come and join me in a game of chess.”

John’s chess skills were handed down from Xavier, and now he had already surpassed the latter.

However, John and Xavier played different styles of chess. John was more aggressive while Xavier was better at defensive plays.

Therefore, when the two played with complete concentration, they would be evenly matched.

When John saw that Xavier was still in good spirits, he did not refuse and nodded his head to agree.

He took the chessboard and pieces from the cabinet beside him, and the two sat down to play. It took almost half an hour to finish the game.

In the end, John won.

Xavier shook his head helplessly as he looked at the chessboard where not a single one of his pieces remained. “Old age really handed it to me. I can’t even win against you now.”

John laughed and said, “You should be happy. You taught me well.”

Xavier’s eyes narrowed in a smile at that point, and he nodded. “Yes, the new generation constantly surpasses the old, but they wouldn’t be pushed forward if it weren’t for their predecessors, right?”

John nodded. “Yes, yes, you’re right.” As he spoke, he looked at the time and said, “It’s almost time. Let’s go.”

Xavier then put away his smile and let John push him to the living room.

Meanwhile, Spencer was still sitting in the living room. His heart already had an answer half an hour ago. However, he still felt reluctant.

Therefore, when he saw Xavier, his first words were not to agree but to ask instead, “How exactly did you end up suspecting me? Is it just because I like Emmy?”

Xavier did not expect that Spencer would still be clueless after half an hour. He sighed helplessly and could only tell Spencer the truth that he had seen him that day.

Xavier was silent for a moment before sighing. His voice was low and did not seem happy as he said, “I didn’t know…that you thought this way.”

John frowned. He did not know much about what happened back then, so this was his first time even hearing some of it. Therefore, it was not his place to say anything now.

Xavier was silent for a while before saying, “At first, I really didn’t think that things would end up like this. If I had known earlier, then I wouldn’t have gotten close to her back then. Because of the pity in my heart, I…”

John’s heart thudded when he heard the words that sounded off. “Dad, you couldn’t have really…”

Xavier glared at him. “What are you thinking about? Back then, I saw her as a girl and thought that she was quite pitiful. Although she was raised by the Wright family like one of their own, she was aloof, prideful, and sensitive. She liked to let her own thoughts run wild, so I just straightened out some stuff with her.

“At that time, your mother and I already knew each other. I knew that she was your mother’s younger sister, so I looked after her even more.

“Back then, your mother happened to be studying abroad and didn’t have many siblings, and it just so happened that I was a professor at Emilia’s school at that time, so she was also considered my student. It was reasonable that I wouldn’t try to distance myself from her.

“Later, It wasn’t that I didn’t notice her feelings for me, but it was too late. She never told me directly, and it wasn’t good for me, as a guy, to just run over and tell her, ‘Little Miss, don’t take a fancy to me. I don’t like you and I already have a girlfriend’.

“Wouldn’t that be too hurtful and disgraceful? That’s why I didn’t say anything at that time. I thought there would be a perfect solution for things to work out so that no one would get hurt.

“You all know what happened later. When your mother returned to China and we decided to have the wedding, that’s when she found out that your mother was my girlfriend. She was very reluctant to accept it at that time, but I told her very straightforwardly that I only saw her as a younger sister, not as a woman.”
