Your Love Is My Weapon

Chapter 248

Arya shook her head decisively, "It's not funny at all."

"Don't you think it's too late?"

Xavier finished speaking and reached out his long arm to hold the back of her head. He did not allow

her to dodge and kissed her lips hard. His kiss deepened, mixed with his helplessness, his indulgence,

and his heartache.

Henry's disapproval of Arya depressed him, but that was his father, and he couldn't go too far.

Arya reached out to his neck and responded to his kiss. She didn't care about anything else when she

was with him. She didn't care what others thought of her or whether they disapproved of her.

The kiss lasted for a long time. Xavier let go of her and touched her rosy cheek. "I'm sorry."

He said he wanted to protect her, but his hands were tied.

Arya put her hand on the back of his hand and looked at him. She said to him seriously, "Don't. I'm glad

to be with you."

She had fallen for him when he protected her with his life. As long as she could be with him, she could

overcome any obstacles.

She would reject a man if she didn't like him. When she fell in love with someone, she was willing to do

anything.

She would do anything for Xavier.

Xavier looked at her. Perhaps, only after experiencing loss would he learn to cherish her.

"Let's go to sleep, okay?"

Arya didn't know how to act coquettishly, but Xavier was still surprised by such a stiff action. He had no

resistance to the woman he liked.

Xavier propped up his upper body and moved to the bed. Arya made room for him, and Xavier held her

in his arms.

It was getting dark outside the window.

Mr. Gates did not expect Xavier to wake up and the fall of the Robin Family. Henry was still in power,

and Xavier was in charge of the Jones Group again. If Xavier knew that he had something to do with

Terrence, Xavier would retaliate.

Even if Xavier had guessed or already knew, he couldn't do anything to Mr. Gates casually without

evidence.

Mr. Gates was at his study with his son.

"Dad, Xavier is awake. What are you going to do?" Rufus asked.

They couldn't fight the Jones Family head-on. They were all prominent figures in W City. If they fought,

they would only benefit those who coveted their position.

After all, Mr. Gates and Henry were about to retire.

Mr. Gates thought for a moment and said, "Let Terrence bear all the blame."

Rufus frowned, "I'm afraid he won't keep his mouth shut."

Mr. Gates narrowed his eyes, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deepened, looking somewhat

sinister, "Didn't you work with him?"

Rufus suddenly realized, "Leave this to me."

Mr. Gates nodded. "Okay. Be careful."

"Sure." Rufus said.

Early in the morning, Rufus went to the hospital that Terrence stayed.

Terrence was lying lifelessly on the bed. His wife was standing beside the bed, sobbing softly. Beside

her was a little boy in his teens, standing quietly.

Terrence was annoyed and said impatiently, "I'm not dead yet. Why are you crying?"

He was not doomed. After all, the Gates Family was involved in the incident that had harmed Xavier.

His only hope was that Mr. Gates could save him.

"Do I want to cry? Our son is still so young. What do you want him to do in the future?"

Terrence's wife, Fiona, was worried about their son's future. He was only in his teens.

"Go out or stop crying. You are upsetting me!" Terrence scolded. Her cries upset him even more.

As soon as Terrence ended his words, the door of the ward was pushed open. Rufus came in with his

hands in his pockets. "Don't be so angry. It's not good for your health."

Rufus heard Terrence's words clearly outside the door.

Terrence's eyes lit up when he saw Rufus. He looked at Fiona. "Take our son out."

Fiona wiped her face and dragged their son out. When the door closed, Terrence asked hurriedly, "You

can save me, right?"

Rufus looked at him coldly. He didn't like that Terrence was still hoping for them to save him.

"You have nothing. What's the use of me saving you? Do you think Xavier will let you go just by

pretending to be sick?"

Terrence suddenly became alert and looked at Rufus uneasily. "What do you mean?"

Rufus moved up his lips, "You seem to have only one son, don't you?"

Terrence sat up abruptly, "What do you want?"

Rufus pulled over a chair and sat down. "When you asked me to invest in the acquisition of the D&C

Inc together with you, I trusted you and wanted to help you, but I lost all my money because of you.

What do you think we should do about this?"

"I'll pay you back."

Terrence's voice was low.

Rufus screwed up his eyes, thinking that Terrence didn't understand the situation and wanted to get out

of it. Terrence went too far. How would Xavier spare him?

Terrence finally realized that Rufus didn't come to save him.

He looked at Rufus coldly, "Don't forget that you guys have been a part of that. Do you think you can

get away with it?"

Terrence laughed, "I don't have that much power, and Xavier is not stupid."

Rufus shrugged, "Only if he doesn't know."

Terrence laughed even more crazily, "Why do you think that I would keep my mouth shut?"

"You will." Rufus was sure. He bent over and approached Terrence. "If you want your only son to suffer,

tell him. No one will stop you." Rufus sat back down and said calmly, "Even if you tell him everything,

Xavier can't do anything to me for the time being. No one knows who will win. But you have no way out.

If you are sensible and say nothing, I won't care about the money I lose. I can give your wife and your

son a sum of money so that they can live a comfortable life."

Terrence became gloomy and lifeless. Rufus was telling the truth.

He was silent. He couldn't afford to offend the Gates Family. He had nothing but his only son. Vincent

couldn't let anything happen to his son.

But he was unwilling to give up and begged desperately, "Can't you save me?" This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Rufus refused, "No!"

There was no need to save him because it was impossible to do so.

And someone had to take responsibility for this.

Rufus stroked his wrinkleless collar. "I'll give you two ways. One is to keep your mouth shut, and I'll

keep your wife and son safe. The other is to say whatever you want, but whether your family will

disappear from W City remains unknown."

Terrence lay sprawled on the bed with no light in his eyes. His face was ashen. He struggled for a long

time and said, "I can promise you not to say anything, but I have a request."

"Say it."

"I want my son to go abroad." He was worried about his son's safety at home.

"Sure." Rufus nodded.

"Give me ten million." Terrence didn't dare to ask for more. He knew Rufus would refuse. The money

he asked for was enough for his family to live abroad.

Rufus frowned slightly and hesitated for a moment before agreeing, "Okay."

Terrence said these words with all his strength.

Rufus looked at him. "Look on the positive side. At least your son can grow up safely."

After that, Rufus turned around and left.

When Fiona saw Rufus come out, she quickly took her son into the ward.

Rufus walked to the gate of the hospital and saw Arya.

She came to the hospital for pregnancy testing. She didn't know that Terrence was in this hospital.

Xavier was going to come with her, but Henry asked him to go back to the Old Residence.

Arya also saw him, but she didn't want to greet him. She walked towards the car.

Rufus quickly stepped forward and stopped her, "Why are you hiding from me? Shouldn't you say hello

when you see me?"

"We don't know each other well." Arya replied stonily.

They were foes, and she felt disgusted that he pretended to be her friend.
