Chapter 150
The secretary was so scared that she sweated and apologized hurriedly, "Sorry, sir."
Xavier glanced at Harriet who was glaring at him.
"You can leave."
The secretary nodded repeatedly. She was so scared just now and she thought Xavier would scold her
for her dereliction of duty.
Xavier signaled for Jacob to carry Ryan out.
Jacob understood and coaxed Ryan. "Let's go. I'll take you to eat something delicious?"
Ryan widened his eyes and his eyelashes flashed. He looked at Xavier, and then at Harriet. He
reached out and pulled the corner of Xavier's clothes. "Who is she?"
At this moment, Harriet looked at Ryan with a vicious look.
'Why is he still alive? It seems that Xavier has recognized him.'
"A small potato. You go out with Jacob."
Jacob picked up Ryan. "Let's go. I know a place where there are delicious steamed eggs. It tastes like
jelly, tender and smooth…"
Jacob's voice faded away in the corridor. In the office, it seemed that only Harriet's heavy breathing
could be heard.
She had lost Xavier, so she tried her best to win Rufus's heart. In order to tie Rufus's heart, she had
been with Rufus all this time. Only when she watched the news today did she know that something had
happened to Estella.
She visited Estella at the jail and knew it was Xavier who had done all this.
"How can you treat my mother like that?" Harriet questioned, "Anyway, we had a relationship before…"
"Relationship?" Suddenly Xavier interrupted her. "Did we?"
Xavier walked closer and closer to her. "Why don't I remember it?"
Harriet couldn't help but retreat, her voice trembling. "We had a relationship…"
Xavier sneered and grabbed her chin. His eyes were dark and sharp. "I didn't realize you had this
ability before."
Harriet finally felt that she was impulsive. She shouldn't have disobeyed her mother and come to
Xavier.
Now that he knew the truth, he must hate her.
But when she saw that her mother was charged with premarital adultery and murder, she could not
calm down.
In a fit of anger, she rushed to the Jones Group to question Xavier.
"It's all my fault. Please let go of my mom…"
"Well, what's your fault?" Xavier's tone became more and more aggressive.
When she looked at Xavier's cold eyes, her back felt numb, and her heart ached even more. He was so
angry with her for Arya.
"No, I did nothing wrong!"
Suddenly, Harriet started to talk differently. "It's her fault, Arya. She should have slept with Mr. Fisher."
A sudden slap hit Harriet's face hard. She lost her balance and fell.
She covered her burning right face and looked at Xavier in horror.
She thought he would at least have some feelings for her for the sake of the four-year relationship. But
she didn't expect him to be so cold-blooded.
Xavier asked his secretary to bring a towel over, as if he had just touched something dirty.
The secretary walked in and glanced at the woman lying on the ground. 'You deserve this!'
When Harriet was the fiancee of Xavier in the past, she would yell at them every time she came to the
company. She was so arrogant as if she was the boss here.
Xavier took the towel, wiped his hands slowly, and looked down at Harriet. "I don't care who came up
with the scheme. I won't let go of anyone who participated in it!"
Harriet trembled and looked at Xavier. "Even if it was her that night, I've been with you for four years.
Didn't you have any feelings for me…"
Xavier threw the towel at Harriet's face. "Don't blow your own trumpet!"
Arya had been imprisoned for four years because of them, and she had been tortured by the prisoners
who were bribed by them. She even could only give birth to Ryan in the prison.
She must have suffered a lot.
At the thought of it, his heart ached as if it had been cut by a knife.
Bit by bit, the pain eroded his heart and lungs.
He let out a muffled shout. "Someone, throw her out!"
Soon, two strong security guards lifted Harriet. Harriet struggled, "Don't touch me…"
The two security guards knew Harriet, who used to be the fiancée of Xavier.
For a moment, they hesitated and looked at Xavier.
"Didn't I make myself clear? Or do you want to be fired?"
The two security guards were scared. They didn't want to lose their jobs. They immediately picked up
Harriet and pulled her out.
"Xavier!" Harriet shouted crazily. "It's too late even if you know it. She has been thrown into the sea by
my mother. Maybe she has been eaten now…"
Harriet admired Estella for throwing Arya into the sea.
Even if Xavier missed her now, his mind would perhaps change as time went by.
"Arya is more pathetic than me…"
Xavier's hands trembled. 'Has she really died? No, I don't believe it!'
The things on the table were thrown to the ground by Xavier. His body slightly bent, one hand on the
table, pressing against his chest, as if this was the only way to relieve some pain.
When Jacob came back with Ryan in his arms, he saw the mess…
Jacob pursed his lips and watched quietly, knowing why Xavier did this. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
He held Ryan's hand and rubbed the back of his hand. "Ryan, you don't want him to be sad, do you?"
Ryan nodded. "But how can I make him happier?"
Jacob coaxed Ryan, "He'll be very happy if you call him dad."
Xavier must have been looking forward to it.
Jacob put Ryan down and patted him on the shoulder as if he had assigned an important task to Ryan.
"Go ahead."
Ryan blinked and looked at Jacob. "Can I?"
Jacob nodded and said affirmatively, "Yes!"
Jacob's words seemed to have cheered him up. Ryan walked towards the office. Xavier was immersed
in some pain and did not notice anyone coming until his legs were hugged.
He looked down and saw Ryan blinking.
Ryan couldn't say the word "dad."
In the past, he had been looking forward to having a father. This month, Xavier had given him paternal
love.
However, the word "dad" was so strange that he didn't know how to say it.
"Mommy would not like to see you like this." Ryan tried to comfort Xavier in his own way.
Xavier's heart softened. Ryan was the only treasure Arya left to him.
He could always see Arya's image from Ryan's eyes…
