    Chapter 7 A Cmity


    Golden rays engulfed the sky as the sun began to set in Quakersville.


    With Hannah and Jacob apanying her, Micha sped in the direction of Sommer Gardens in her


    Land Rover.


    They had not received much information through that phone call, not even a greeting. All Jonathan had


    said was that they should head to Sommer Gardens as quickly as possible before hanging up abruptly.


    Sommer Gardens was the mansion that had been prepared for Micha and Zack.


    Worried that the newlyweds might be ufortable living with inws, the Xander family had


    graciously provided them with plenty of personal space.


    However, Hannah had heard a woman sobbing during the call. The phone number belonged to Lucille,


    but there wasn’t a word from her apart from that cry for help.


    Weren’t they supposed to be decorating the new house?


    Why were we asked to head over right away? What on earth happened to Lucille?


    Numerous questions formed in Micha’s head. For some reason, she began to recall that mysterious


    phone call she had received a while ago.


    No. It can’t be!


    Just as she tried to dismiss her own thoughts, a cold and hoarse voice rang out from behind her. “What


    the hell could’ve happened that Mr. Jonathan had to call us over personally? What did that idiot Lucille


    do?”


    I’ve been waiting all this while to be part of the Xanders, only for something like this to happen on


    the day before the wedding!


    It was only natural that Jacob wanted to find out what had happened.


    Micha peered at her grim-looking father through the rearview mirror. Perhaps still hungover, the man


    was rubbing his temples with his brows slightly creased.


    Comparatively, Hannah appeared much calmer, despite being unable to hide the distress in her eyes.


    “He didn’t say much over the phone. We’ll just find out when we get there,” she said ndly.


    “It’s Mich’s wedding tomorrow. If that little brat does something to disgrace our family, I’m going to skin


    her alive!”


    Hearing that, Hannah could no longer suppress her anger. “Ha! So, are you truly worried about Mich’s


    future, or are you just scared that this is going to ruin your ns of buttering up the Xander family?” she


    sneered.

    “Are you aware of what you’re saying in front of our daughter? Why would I have to butter the Xanders


    up when we’re about to be connected by marriage? Of course I’m worried about Mich’s future, but if


    Lucille’s done something to get on Mr. Jonathan’s bad side, I may not be able to save her!”


    After all, everyone knew how ruthless Jonathan Xander was.


    Despite looking like a gentle and elegant schr, the man was, in fact, extraordinarily cold-blooded and


    monstrous.


    There were also many rumors concerning him in the corporate world.


    After many who tried plotting against him went bankrupt, it became publicly acknowledged that


    Jonathan was like a cmity. No one should ever invoke his wrath.


    As such, Jacob, a somewhat reputed real estate developer, was certainly no match for a man like


    Jonathan, whose business spanned across the entire nation.


    Thus, it was no surprise that Jacob could not help but panic at the mention of Jonathan.


    But I don’t get it. Ever since Jonathan left the country when he was twenty-two, he’s been working in


    the dark and never makes a public appearance except during New Year’s and his parents’ birthdays.


    So why did he suddenly decide toe back?


    Is he here to attend Zack and Mich’s wedding?


    Feeling his headache intensify, the man red at Hannah icily, bringing her back to her senses.


    Taking into ount that their daughter was in the car with them, Hannah swallowed her words and


    gazed out the window expressionlessly.
