Chapter 139


    Este asked Louis to tighten Arya up and put her in the car. They then drove out of the mansion.


    After a long time, they pulled up by a remote beach outside of W City. They carried Arya onto the


    wooden bridge, under which there was a deep river.


    Este asked Louis to find a stone and tie it to Arya.


    After that, Este sshed some water on Arya to wake her up.


    Arya trembled at the cold water on her face. When she woke up, she saw Este looking down at her.


    She tried to move but found her body couldn''t move a little bit. Only then did she realize that she was


    tied to a few stones, and her heart beat violently. She felt fear went all over her body when she saw the


    situation around her. However, she didn''t show any panic on her face.


    Este squatted down and patted her face. "How pathetic you are! The person you''re looking for is right


    in front of you, but you don''t even know."


    After that, Esteughed smugly. As long as she disposed of Arya, everything would go back to


    normal.


    Harriet would be Xavier''s fiancé, the Harrison Family would be a reputable family that many people


    fawned on, and she would be a nobledy.


    Arya stared at Este and said, "Everyone will die sooner orter. Do you think you are different?"


    Este frowned and snapped, "Say it again!"


    "Of course, I dare. You can''t escape from death, either." Arya''s tried to stay calm and not disy the


    fear on her face. She finally understood that Este wanted her to die.


    She wouldn''t stop until she reached her goal.


    Este suddenly felt flustered.


    ''Die? But I will die after Arya!''


    "Arya, your mother couldn''t beat me. You can''t either!" Este ordered Louis loudly, "Push her down!"


    Arya was pushed into the water before she could feel the fear. There was a loud bang with a huge


    ssh of water.


    Arya wanted to grab something, but her hands were tied. She couldn''t move at all. Her body began to


    sink slowly. Suffocation made her brainck oxygen, and she couldn''t think straight. All she could feel


    now was fear, and the only person she worried about was Ryan.


    Ryan…


    She opened her eyes in the water but couldn''t see anything clearly. She exhaled desperately, but all


    she breathed in was water. She felt it hard to breathe as if someone was strangling her.


    Before she lost consciousness, she saw Xavier in a trance who was looking at her.


    It was not clear whether it was the water or Arya''s tears on her face.


    "Will you miss me if I die?"


    ***


    At the same time, Xavier left right after Arya. He went straight to the ce where Jacob imprisoned the


    former butler of the Harrison Family.

    Jacob didn''t expect Xavier woulde so early.


    "Where is he?" Xavier walked in a haste.


    He really wanted to know all about Arya.


    "He''s inside." Jacob led Xavier in. The corridor was in a mess.


    There was an unpleasant smell.


    Xavier frowned at the smell but did not stop.


    Soon, Xavier saw the elder man he had seen in that neighborhood.


    He stood not far from the butler.


    He asked directly, "Do you know Arya?"


    The butler flinched and remained silent.


    He had already hurt Arya once. He couldn''t hurt her again.


    Jacob walked over and whispered, "He won''t say anything."


    Xavier narrowed his eyes and snorted. He could prise anything from others as long as he wanted to.


    Xavier waved at Jacob. Before he could say anything, the butler said, "Who are you, and why are you


    asking about Miss Harrison? I won''t betray her even if I die."


    His words surprised Xavier.


    ''This man, who Arya doesn''t like, is so protective of her.''


    There was a lot of information in his words. He mentioned ''again''. Did Este try to hurt Arya many


    times?


    Xavier couldn''t help but pursue, "I don''t want to hurt her. I just want to know about her…"


    The butler still didn''t believe him. He was afraid that Xavier was lying to him. "How can you prove that


    you are not a perpetrator?"


    Xavier rubbed his brows, not expecting the butler to be so stubborn.


    "If I wanted to hurt her, why would I want to know about her from you? It would be easier to kill her,


    wouldn''t it?"


    The butler agreed after a while of thinking.


    At the same time, he seemed to have thought of something. He stared at Xavier for two seconds and


    said slowly, "I used to be the housekeeper of the Harrison Family. Four years ago, no, I should say five


    years ago. After Arya''s mother died…"


    "How did she die?" Jacob interrupted.


    Xavier nced at Jacob but didn''t stop him. He also wanted to know if she died from cancer as Harriet


    imed.


    "Richard had a secret affair with Este not long after he married Danielle. Five years ago, Este


    brought Harriet and Marshal into his family. Danielle couldn''t ept Richard''s betrayal and jumped


    down from a tall building…"


    All of a sudden, the air condensed in the narrow space.


    Xavier, in particr, felt a panic.


    Jacob saw it and quickly passed a cigarette to him. Xavier lit it.


    His voice was low and deep. "Keep talking."


    "Then, thepany wasn''t run well. Este told Richard to let Arya marry Mr. Fisher, who had lost


    three wives, and Arya refused. Este wanted to set a trap for her and made her get pregnant.


    However, things didn''t go as nned that day. Arya didn''t have sex with Mr. Fisher… Just at this time,


    Marshal got into an ident and killed someone… Richard and Este were afraid that their son would


    go to jail, so they let Arya be the scapegoat…"
