Her knees and elbows were in pain after she fell.
There was also a burning pain on her cheek.
She raised her eyes and saw Heather wearing a dark red cheongsam, with a pearl necklace around her neck, looking at her with an angry expression on her face.
“You just returned to the Lockhart family and you’ve already done such a treacherous thing. You’re allowing the outsiders to talk about our Lockhart family’s upbringing like that?”
“You’re already an adult so haven’t you thought about the consequences of doing such things? Publish a status on your Facebook account immediately and apologize to your foster mother!”
The tone of her voice was sharp and very commanding.
The corners of Xavia’s mouth curled into a cold smile when she heard Heather’s words. Her smile was extremely frightening.
Heather knitted her brows. “What are you laughing at? How can you still be laughing at a time like this?”
Xavia touched her face, stood up and looked directly at her.
“I’m laughing at your self-righteousness. Who do you think you are? You obviously did not put in any effort into culturing or nurturing me but now, you’re actually lecturing me and pretending to be a great mother?”
“Don’t you find your attitude a little ridiculous and pathetic?”
“You!” Heather raised her hand and she was about to hit Xavia again.
This time, Xavia was not that stupid. She reached up and grabbed Heather’s wrist with one hand.
“You want to hit me again? You don't have the right to do so.”
“This is your last warning. If you dare touch another strand of hair on my head again, I will definitely turn the Lockhart family upside down.”
“After all, I hold some evidence that you do not know of. Just try me, and we can have a go at it if you don’t believe me.”
As soon as Xavia said those words, she turned around and walked out directly.
Her haughty back and decisive steps were like the poppies in the wind — eye-catching and intimidating.
Heather stood still in place.
That girl...Wasn’t she just a wild girl from the countryside? How could she possibly be able to turn the Lockhart family upside down?
However, her words and demeanor just now was enough to plant a sense of unease in one’s heart.
Could it be that she really knew something?
When he arrived at the scene, it was a complete mess. The fire brigade, bodyguards and managers were all sorting out and organizing the scene as they discussed the countermeasures to save the people inside.
The air was full of dust and dirt.
Zayne found Zivon with a glance and ran over to him quickly with a medical box.
“Zivon, you have not thought of a way to save the people yet?”
Zivon's cold and handsome face was stained with dirt, but this did not affect his noble demeanor in any way. He said, “The collapse is extremely deep and we have not located the whereabouts of the buried workers.”
“Well…That’s okay. They will be unharmed. Zivon, come over here first. Let me treat your injuries first. I’m worried that they will get infected.”
Zivon objected, “Just get a piece of cloth and bandage it up as soon as possible. There are still things that I have to do.”
Um…
Was he ignoring his own body now?
Although the current situation was indeed a little urgent, what would the little boy do if anything were to happen to Zivon?
