Chapter 183
Andrew was ready to make a move again the Jenkins family at any moment, but he had to walt
police actually convicted Xavier fird.
Even though the kidnappers were up and down that Xavier was the one who gave the orders, with no solid evidence and air drying everything, the police couldn’t do anything to convict him.
After all, he was the only son of the Jenkins family. Without any real evidence, Xavier got out on ball in no time.
Back at the Jenkins family home, Xavier stormed straight into Sofia’s study
When he found out that Sofia was working with Lydia, he’d planned to stir up some trouble and make Sofia and the Bennett Family turn on each other. But in the end, he ended up taking the fall himself.
He realized he had underestimated Sofia. She had cut off all his escape routes, and even James was being held back and didn’t dare to help him
He thought, “Luckily, I have one last card to play, Sofia can dream on if she thinks she can toss me aside like a p
a pawn!
When Xavier stormed into the study, Sofia was sitting there with her glasses on, working through some documents.
Seeing Xavier at the door, his face twisted with rage, Sofia didn’t even bat an eye. She casually took off her glasses and said, “You should knock before coming in Have you forgotten all the manners I’ve taught you over the years?”
Her voice was cool and indifferent, not the slightest bit angry–if anything, there was a trace off scorn.
To the outsiders. Sofia was the picture of a gentle, loving mother to Xavier, but behind closed doors, she never bothered to hide her contempt and disgust for him
Xavier had gotten used to it over the years, but this time, he felt especially humiliated and frustrated
y were your people, weren’t they? Did you tell them what to say to
He demanded, “Why did you set me up? Those two kidnappers who got caught they were the police?”
Sofia raised an eyebrow, staying perfectly calm as she shot back, “Weren’t you the one behind Emily’s kidnapping“”
Xavier was at a loss for words. He took a couple of deep breaths, forcing down his emotions. Then he said, “Yeah, I admit it, I was the one who had Emily kidnapped.
“But I had absolutely nothing to do with what happened to Lydia–not even a little bit. Besides, I was only trying to get on Lydia’s good side back then, all for the Jenkins family,”
He sounded so sure of himself, but Sofia just let out a cold laugh. She snapped, “Do you really think I don’t knew what you’ve been up to?” Xavier’s heart skipped a beat, and his anger quickly turned to panic. He stammered, “I don’t know what you’re talking about”
Sofia tossed her glasses onto the desk, crossed her legs, and folded her arms, watching Xavier like she was looking at a pathetic clown putting on a show. She then said, “The only reason I ever chose you was because you had ambition and desire, but you were dumb enough to be easy to control and with a body that could drop dead any day.
“Not like Jackson–he’s smart, capable, and healthy. If I let my guard down for even a second, he’d stab me in the back without hesitation
Xavier clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white. He stood there, frozen, a mix of hamliation, anger, and panic washing over him. But he quickly regained his composure. He’d heard this kind of thing countless times growing up.
He took a deep breath and then said, “Since you picked me and spent all these years teaching me, can’t you help me out just this once know I screwed up, but I promise it won’t happen again“.
Chapter 183
He lowered himself as much as he could, hoping Sofia would cut him some slack this tim
But Sofia just let out a soft laugh and said. “When say you’re stupid, you are stupid. After all these years by my side, have you ever seen mot use a pevní t already planned to toss aside?”
Xavier’s eyes went wide. He knew Solia was ruthless, but he never expected her to cut him off without a second thought. He asked, “Don’t you want the
shares I have?”
Being the only son, the shares Xavier held were gifts from the Jenkins elders–shares that hoth James and Sofia had been fighting over for years.
