Chapter 39


    Marshal hurriedly said, "I was interested in a site, so I wanted my brother-inw to show up. And I


    could take it..."


    Harriet''s face darkened instantly. Marshal told her this yesterday and she refused.


    She didn''t expect him to mention it again.


    She didn''t even know how to exin to Xavier, so she could only scold Marshal, "You should do what


    you want to do on your own..."


    Marshal was not an easy person, and he was unhappy when he heard it. "You haven''t married into the


    Jones Family yet. Don''t forget how you get where you are today, if not Ar..."


    "Marshal!" Harriet interrupted Marshal in a hurry. She grabbed Marshal and red at him. "You''re my


    brother. I''ve always pampered you. It''s my birthday. Do you have to make a scene?"


    Looking at Harriet''s warning eyes, he was also aware that he had almost said the wrong thing.


    He was kind of embarrassed but refused to admit his mistakes. He said stubbornly, "Why didn''t you


    help me since you said you spoiled me? It''s not about money. I just need him to show up."


    Xavier tugged at his cor. He had already thought that if he married Harriet, such things would


    probably happen frequently.


    He took a breath and patted Harriet on the shoulder meaningfully.


    "Xavier..."


    "I gotta go."


    How could Harriet be willing? When Xavier came, many people envied her.


    After staying for such a short time, he would leave without even eating the cake. How would others


    think of her?


    Harriet held Xavier''s hand, unwilling to let it go.


    Xavier''s brows drew together in a frown, "Harriet, you''ve never been unreasonable, have you?"


    Harriet moved her lips. She wanted to be dignified and generous, but today was her birthday.


    And she just wanted to keep him here. Was that unreasonable?


    "You are my fiancé. It''s my birthday. I hope you can stay and celebrate it with me. Is it wrong?"


    Harriet looked misty-eyed.


    In the end, Xavier just asked, "Are you sure you want me to stay here?"


    Harriet hesitated for a second and nodded. She knew that if she insisted, Xavier would stay, but he


    would be unhappy.


    She was going to say nice things to him when the dinner was over.


    To avoid Marshal mentioning that again, Harriet asked Este to take him away.


    Xavier did stay, but in a perfunctory manner as he didn''t say a word the whole time.


    Harriet didn''t dare to make any demands.


    At the end of the party, some people came up to make him an acquaintance. Xavier didn''t even take a


    look at them and left first.


    Harriet wanted to see him off. Xavier asked her to entertain the guests, and he drove away.


    He left Harriet standing there awkwardly.


    Este also saw that Xavier seemed very unhappy today, so she came up to ask her daughter what


    was going on.


    Harriet exploded. "It was all because of your son."


    Este''s face darkened. Although she loved her daughter, she cared more about her son.


    "What did you say? He''s your brother!"


    "If I had a choice, I wouldn''t have a brother like him. He''s ipetent but he dreams of doing


    something big."


    Harriet was furious.


    "If it weren''t for him, how could Xavier be angry?"


    "Harriet, watch yournguage!"


    Marshal came down from upstairs and heard Harriet''s words. He got angry and pointed at Harriet.


    "Believe it or not, I will tell Xavier today that you''re a liar. Who do you think you are? It''s only because


    you are an imposter of Arya, the unlucky woman, and you can get where you are. But you are


    despising me today..."


    "You, what nonsense are you talking about?" Este hit Marshal on the back. "Don''t say that in the


    future. If someone hears, we''re done."


    "Mom, did you see that? When Xavier was here just now, he almost spilled the beans. He''spletely


    spoiled."


    Harriet threw her hand and ran upstairs.


    Este tugged at her son. "Don''t be angry with your sister. She was careful in the Jones Family. Didn''t


    she do it all for us? Without your sister, what do you think our family has? Will we have what we have


    today?"


    "But, I just like that ce. Mom, it''s profitable..."


    "What kind of ce is that?"


    Marshal''s expression froze. "You don''t understand. I''ll figure it out myself. I can''t rely on anyone. I have


    to rely on myself."


    After that, Marshal left the house in anger.


    Upstairs, Harriety on the bed and cried.


    Este came tofort her. "Oh, Marshal didn''t mean it. Don''t be angry."

    "How can I not be angry? Xavier doesn''t like me at all. Marshal is always causing trouble. Now that


    Arya is out of prison, if he finds out..."


    Este grabbed her daughter''s arm. "How did you know that woman was out of prison?"


    "I met her at a jewelry store, where she worked as a salesman..."


    "Which one?"


    Harriet thought for a moment and said, "LAN Jewelry, mom, what''s wrong with you?"


    "She''s released from prison now. Although she definitely has nothing to do with the Jones Family, we


    have to guard against her. We have to get her out of W City." Este looked sinister. "I didn''t expect her


    to have a chance to survive and evene out."


    "Mom." Harriet grabbed Este''s hand. She knew that this was a big deal. If Xavier knew the truth


    about that year, he would definitely throw her away without hesitation.


    She was afraid at that thought and grabbed Este''s hand tightly. "Mom, you have to make sure that


    woman doesn''t have a chance to get closer to Xavier."


    Este looked grim. She would do the same without her daughter saying it.


    "Even if I don''t expel her from W City, I will make her notorious. Even if the truth is found out one day,


    she won''t be able to enter the Jones Family. She won''t be able to deal with us without the power of the


    Jones Family."


    She knew well how much the Jones Family cared about virginity.


    Harriet held Este tightly. "Mom, I never want Xavier to know the truth. I love him. I want to marry


    him."


    "Sure, sure, he won''t know the truth." Este patted his daughter''s hand andforted her.


    "I''ll make sure she doesn''t get a chance."


    Este narrowed her eyes as if they were filled with poison.


    Xavier unknowingly drove the car to the vi. He didn''t get out of the car. He lit a cigarette. The lights in


    the vi were still on. He knew that the woman must be there.


    He dialed her number.


    Arya was bathing Ryan when she saw the caller ID. She tensed up and hesitated for a moment before


    picking up the phone.


    "At home?"


    "Yes, are youing back tonight?" Arya asked carefully.


    "Do you want me toe back?"


    Xavier took a pull on his cigarette.


    If Ryan was not there, she might have said yes perfunctorily.


    Xavier took the silence as her answer. He curled his lips and flirted with her on the phone. "Afraid of


    me? I don''t bite!"


    "I''m not afraid of you, I just don''t want to make you angry." Arya didn''t lie.


    His temper was so terrible that she didn''t want people around her to get hurt.


    Xavier''s expression and tone were meaningful. "I get angry for you because I care about you."


    Arya was dumbfounded and didn''t know how to answer.


    "I''m noting back today. Good night."


    Xavier threw away the cigarette butt and started the car to leave.


    When Arya heard the noise, she ran to the window and saw the car leaving.


    Her expression becameplicated.


    She couldn''t figure out what Xavier meant.


    After spending half a day with Arya, Ryan no longer rejected her.


    Arya watched the car leave before turning back to the bathroom and continuing to bathe Ryan.


    Xavier didn''t go back to the hotel but asked Jacob to drink with him.


    There were only two men in the dark room.


    Jacob poured wine for Xavier and said seemingly unintentionally, "Shouldn''t you be with Miss Harrison


    at this time? Why are you free toe out for a drink?"


    Xavier raised his eyebrows and curled his lips. "If you want to tell me something, just say it. Don''t y


    tricks."


    Jacob smiled. "Nothing. Just when I came here, I saw Marshal in another private room. He was fooling


    around with a bunch of punks."


    Xavier snorted coldly.


    It was disdain, and it was annoyance.


    He sank into the sofa and asked vaguely, "Do you think I''m insane?"


    Jacob immediately understood what Xavier was referring to. He thought for a moment and said, "Have


    you noticed that Arya and Miss Harrison look alike?"


    After a pause, Jacob continued, "I think you stayed with Arya because she looks a little like Miss


    Harrison."


    After hearing what Jacob said, he thought about it carefully. They were really a little simr.


    But Arya''s cheeks were more delicate, but a little thin.


    He wasn''t sure about her character. She looked gentle but she was actually very stubborn.


    It was actually a little difficult to grasp her weakness and make her obey.


    Harriet was also beautiful, coquettish, and sensible many times, but he couldn''t find the kind of feeling


    he wanted in her.


    Xavier shook his head. "They''re not the same kind of people. There''s noparison."


    In contrast, Arya was more like a woman with a story, which could arouse his curiosity.


    Jacob continued to pour Xavier wine. He also filled a ss for himself and drank it all in one go. It was


    probably true that the wine could make a coward brave. In normal times, Jacob would never dare to


    ask.


    "Boss, who do you prefer?"
