For some reason, Xavia felt as if her heart had inexplicably skipped two beats as soon as she heard the news.
Maison said, “Daddy went over there when something so dangerous happened. Will he also be in danger?”
Yulia said, “I don’t think so, right? Your daddy’s a Superman.”
Even though the two little children were mad at Zivon, they were still worried about him when they heard about something like this happening.
Xavia spoke up and comforted them, “Be good, now. Children don’t need to worry about adults’ affairs. The both of you have already been absent from school for so many days. You better worry about yourselves more!”
“Oh.”
“Okay then. Goodbye, Mommy.”
“Goodbye, Aunt.”
The two little children got out of the car and waved goodbye.
Xavia smiled and said goodbye to them. After seeing that they had already walked safely into the kindergarten under the teacher’s guidance, she closed the car door.
“Come, Dolly. Let’s go back.”
“Okay.” Dolly started the car.
Dolly had originally wanted to say something about Young Master Burton’s safety, but when she thought about the heartless words that Young Master Burton had said the previous morning, she decided that it would not be good for her to try and set things up again.
Dolly spoke up and comforted Xavia, “The collapse sounds really serious. Burton Group will be very busy for a while, so no one will have the time to pay any attention to you anymore. So...you can feel at ease and have some peace of mind for a while.”
Xavia lowered her eyes.
That was also true. So many lives and families were at stake and if Xavia were to threaten Ava at this time, it would simply be too inhumane.
Forget it. The big picture was more important.
When Dolly saw that Xavia did not say anything, she could not help but sighed and said, “Xavia, I feel as though your current life has completely deviated away from the expected track. When do you think we will finally be able to leave the Lockhart Mansion?”
Leave…
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on both the Burton family and the Lockhart family now. Even if they were to stop paying attention to them, as soon as Xavia left, everyone would definitely seize the opportunity to start the rumors and gossip again.
“It’ll be very difficult for the time being. I think we might not be able to leave for quite some time.”
“Is that so? That’s really great then! I’m going to take advantage of the opportunity to rip your elder brother off during this time then!”
“No. I’m really in trouble this time! Xavia, I’m begging you! Please!” Cara held tightly onto Xavia’s hand, refusing to let go. Her appearance was very pitiful and it made people feel sympathetic towards her.
Unfortunately, she was really a piece of trash who would only pretend to look like this when she was in need of money.
“Damn it! You’re really annoying! Are you done?”
The car door was pushed open and Dolly, who could not stand looking at Cara anymore, got out and pulled Cara away from Xavia. “You should stop pestering Xavia. If you dare to stop the car again, I will not step on the brakes and will just run you over! Let’s go, Xavia. Ignore her.”
As soon as Dolly was done speaking, she pushed Xavia into the car and closed the car door with a bang. After that, she started the car and left.
Cara was left standing in place and she looked pitiful.
Xavia pursed her small lips slightly as she looked at the person in the rearview mirror.
“Xavia, don’t tell me that you are sympathizing with her? You, of all people, should know how she’s treated you and Yulia, right? She is only coming to you now because she wants money.”
“Besides that, didn’t she just sell your information to the Lockhart family? Why would she still be short of money?”
Xavia had already learnt from Jenna that her foster mother was the one who’d sold her information.
