Removing her mask, Xavia replied, “I’m here to meet Chairman Burton. Step aside.”
With how commanding her tone was, the guard immediately backed off. This… was young mistress Jenna, right…?
Xavia herself didn’t bother telling him who she really was. Instead, she quickly made her way upstairs before heading toward Zivon’s office. Once she was there, she pushed the door open before asking in a rather loud tone, “What’s the meaning of all this, Zivon?”
To her surprise, Xavia was greeted by the sight of several senior executives—all wearing suits—staring at her in shock. Why the hell were there so many people here?!
The executives themselves were wondering why ‘Jenna’ was not only barging into Zivon’s office, but also speaking to him in such a tone! When had she obtained such a temperament?!
Realizing that Zivon himself was seated at his desk—with his usual prestigious and frigid posture—, Xavia froze for a moment before eventually saying, “…Apologies, you can resume the meeting first…”
Following that, she quickly retreated from the office, leaving the senior executives extremely confused. The hell? Was she not being all high and mighty just seconds ago? Was that all just an illusion?! Or did Young Master Burton secretly have a strict and controlling wife…?
Staring at the speculating people for a while, Zivon eventually said, “…We’ll stop here for now. You may leave.”
Upon hearing that, the senior executives immediately got to their feet before respectfully saying, “Alright.”
Pursing her lips, Xavia then stared him right in the eyes before saying, “Maison doesn’t have that many belongings with me in the first place. Regardless, I’m here to ask why you’re taking Maison away from me.”
It was only after she said that when she remembered that he was Maison’s father. With that in mind, she was the one who didn’t have a right to stand here and question him… Even so, she shook the thoughts off before adding, “You left Maison with me yet you’re taking him away out of the blue. Do you think I’m his maid or something? I’d just like to remind you that I’m not being paid to babysit here.”
Xavia had used a slightly louder tone in hopes of countering his fearsome aura. In response, however, Zivon casually took a checkbook from his drawer before signing his name on it… Following that, he held the cheque up before asking, “Is fifty million dollars enough?”
This almost made Xavia cough in shock! Fifty million?! She had just said that on a whim yet he was humiliating her with cash?! Now furious, she walked over to him before saying, “You know I’m not after the money. If you really don’t want Maison around me anymore, I demand a good reason!”
