Chapter 166
Rufus never expected Xavier to be so violent.
"Mr. Jones, we are gentlemen. It's not good for us to hit a woman, is it? As the saying goes, a
gentleman knows how to use his words and not his fists."
"I'm sorry, I'm not a gentleman." Xavier sounded aggressive. People could tell from his voice that he
was furious. "I came to celebrate the birthday today. Now it's like I have come to a brothel. I don't know
who's so blind and let in such kind of a woman."
Xavier didn't show any mercy.
Mr. Gates's face turned red with anger.
Rufus glared at the woman. 'It was okay for her to pester Xavier, but how could she say that she was
pregnant? Xavier now had leverage against them.'
Now, no matter what, he had to blame it for Xavier.
Otherwise, the Gates Family would be a laughing stock who let a prostitute ruin a good birthday party.
Rufus stopped Xavier. "If you're leaving, take your woman with you. Don't make my place dirty."
"Mr. Gates, this woman came to your house. She said she was pregnant with my child. I have to show
everyone. Jacob, just watch here. If she can't make a baby, she's not allowed to leave."
Xavier's voice was not high, but his words were so clear that everyone present could hear him.
The people below whispered.
Everyone knew that the Jones Family and the Gates Family were at loggerheads for quite a long time.
But even if they knew it, no one would say it. They just kept it in mind.
The two families' feud started nine years ago, when the general of the military region was Cullen, and
his position became vacant as soon as he retired. At that time, Mr. Jones and Mr. Gates were the
candidates to take over.
However, Cullen recommended Mr. Jones, and the Gates Family lost the position.
Mr. Gates was not convinced and secretly set obstacles. There was a drill when Mr. Gates secretly did
something, which almost killed Mr. Jones.
From then on, they had been harboring grudges. Although they appeared to be amiable, they were
secretly against each other.
Everyone had their own ideas about what was right or wrong from what happened today.
No matter which side they stood on, they would not speak at this time.
No one could tell which side would win in the end.
Rufus glared at the woman angrily and pulled the rug from under her. "How did you get in here? Tell the
Jones Family about your grudges. Did you deliberately come here today to cause trouble? Tell me, who
asked you to come?"
Xavier didn't even care to look at the scene.
Rufus made up his mind not to let Xavier leave without any trouble and stepped forward to stop him
again. Jacob was faster than him and stretched out his long arm to block Rufus.
"It could indeed happen in the Gates Family. A prostitute comes to celebrate her birthday for no reason.
It's quite an eye-opener."
"Stop talking nonsense here. She slipped in." Rufus immediately denied it.
"The invitation card is a joke? If people can enter without it, why did you make the fuss and send the
invitation card?"
"When this happens in the Gates Family, I will find out the truth. I want to see who's trying to ruin my
birthday party."
Mr. Gates, who had been silent for a long time, finally opened his mouth. The imposing manner of a
soldier was vividly displayed.
However, between the lines, it could be told that he was determined that someone deliberately messed
up and it had nothing to do with the Gates Family.
Some were talking about the incident. Xavier sneered, ignored it, and carried Ryan away.
Ryan could see Xavier's face clearly. He looked calm, but his breathing was heavy, and his forehead
was covered in sweat. It was only because the light was dim and others could not see it clearly.
Ryan asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you..."
Xavier hushed Ryan.
Ryan was very obedient and stopped asking.
Xavier got into the car and took off his suit jacket. When he was driving, he opened the window let the
wind blow in, so he could stay awake.
He sped up and suddenly a figure appeared in front of him. It seemed that she was in a panic and did
not see the road ahead clearly. She waited for Xavier to hit the brake.
He still bumped into her.
Ryan was stunned. "Dad...We hit someone."
Xavier was not in the mood to care about the person he had bumped. Instead, he asked Ryan, "Are
you OK?"
Ryan shook his head.
Zack and his men also chased after him with blood on his face. "Damn it, there's a knife hidden in you.
There's no way that you can run away."
Xavier had already gotten out of the car. Regardless of whether the woman was wrong or not, he hit
the person.
Seeing that Xavier was about to take out the money, Zack waved his hand. "It doesn't matter to you. It
is the woman who ran into your car and she should be responsible for the accident."
Zack wanted to thank him, or else she might have run away.
Xavier was in a hurry to leave, so he didn't stay any longer. He turned around and got into the car,
started the car, and was about to leave.
Zack picked up Arya, who was knocked unconscious. Her head tilted slightly to one side and leaned
out of Zack's arm.
Xavier recognized her at an unintentional glance.
Two hours ago, when the time limit of two days was reached, Zack brought someone to look for Arya.
Arya had planned that even if she wanted to run, she could not run from the Swift Family. Only running
from Zack would not implicate the Swift Family.
So, when Zack came, she left resolutely.
She didn't want to cause trouble for the Swift Family, Mr. Swift was already in the hospital, and Madam
Swift was old.
They couldn't stand it.
The moment she made up her mind, Arya made preparations.
With a knife hidden in her, she sat in the car and pressed the knife against Zack's neck while he was
unprepared, threatening him to let her out of the car.
Arya had been very obedient before. So when Zack let his guard down, Arya got away with it. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
In the process of Arya's escape, Zack had an argument with her. The knife in Arya's hand cut Zack's
face.
"Wait..."
Xavier pushed the door open and came down.
Zack was angry. "You bumped into my person. I was so compassionate that I let you go. What else do
you want?"
For the time being, Xavier couldn't hear him at all. He just walked towards him, almost losing his
footing.
His hand trembled slightly, he pushed Arya's hair back by his slender index finger and clearly saw her
face.
Zack withdrew and put Xavier's hand away. "What are you doing? This is my woman. How dare you
touch her? Do you want to die?"
"Really?"
Before Zack could react, Xavier drew back his fist and threw a punch, and Zack's body was hit back
violently. Just as Arya was about to fall, Xavier took her by the waist and held her firmly in his arms.
If there was some uncertainty just now whether she was Arya or just a person who looked like her, then
now he could be sure that she was Arya. He was very familiar with her body.
No one could replace her.
In the past, he didn't understand why he had an inexplicable sense of familiarity with her.
It was not until he knew Ryan's identity that he knew where this familiarity came from.
Since Edward told him, he had never doubted Ryan's identity.
Zack was hurt by Arya. He was already angry, but he had been beaten up again for no reason. He was
so furious that blood was coming out of the corner of his mouth. "You hit me! You don't know who I am."
He shouted at the rascals who were following him, "Beat him to death. I will take care of it."
Those people were all dumbfounded just now. They didn't expect that Xavier would suddenly bit Zack.
Moreover, his cruelness deterred them and no one dared to move at all.
Seeing that no one was going to do anything, Zack snapped, "If you don't do anything, don't follow me
in the future. Have I fed you for nothing?"
Leo was the first to shout, "Let's go together."
Because they knew that in a one-on-one fight, they were definitely not Xavier's match.
As soon as they rushed up, Xavier hugged Arya and kicked the nearest person out.
He was afraid of hurting Arya, so he gave them an opportunity to take advantage of. A man with a
dagger in his hand attacked Xavier from behind.
"Dad, be careful!"
