Chapter 32
Zivon raised the corner of his lips slightly. "Getting married?"
His noble voice was obviously filled with coldness and shock.
Jenna nodded. "That's right. I happened to hear her foster mother talking about it by chance. It seems as though she was going to get married to that middle-aged widower, Luke Wilson. I don't know what's up with my younger sister. Although Luke's assets would eventually belong to her after his death, how could she let go of her lifetime's happiness just because of that? Ahh... I really have to talk to her properly about this when I see her next time."
Jenna made it sound as though she was concerned about Xavia on the surface with just a few words, but in reality, she was intentionally saying that Xavia was getting married to an old man for the sake of money.
Zivon had a cold expression on his face.
Was the black card that he had given to Xavia not enough? Was she still that short on money?
The air was filled with frost.
Jenna smiled slightly, suddenly clutching her stomach and turning pale. "Ahh. It hurts..."
She had a severe cold uterus and dysmenorrhea. The doctor who examined her determined that it was the result of her giving birth too early.
Of course, this was fake.
Zivon didn't know this, and he attributed Jenna's monthly pain as his own responsibility. After putting his thoughts aside, he said, "You should go to your room and rest first. I will ask Zayne to send some medicine over to you."
"Okay. Thank you, Zivon," Jenna spoke weakly as she clutched her stomach and walked upstairs with much 'difficulty'.
After entering her room, the pained expression on her face dissipated, and it was replaced with a smug and happy expression.
Although Zivon didn't show her much concern, nor did he act like other boyfriends who would take care of their girlfriends and give them utmost attention and concern, Jenna could use this excuse to stay before she would find an opportunity to eventually moved in in future.
Moreover, Zivon was now disgusted with Xavia and this was a very satisfying result for Jenna.
'My dear younger sister, are you doing well?'
In the dark room.
Cold. It was so cold.
Xavia saw that her surroundings were dark and cold. She didn't know where she was, or her exact location at all. She only felt that she was very dizzy,Confused and uncomfortable. Moreover, she kept falling
unconscious as she fell into the darkness. Content belongs to Novelxo.org
It felt as though a century had passed before the blinding sunlight shone into the house and the sound of footsteps rang in her ears before her eyes snapped open.
The first thing that she saw was the room of a nouveau riche that was extremely old-fashioned. Even the small ornaments clearly showed the owner's taste. The man walked over to her step by step and he had a potbelly. He was bald and he looked extremely disgusting at first glance. Content belongs to Novelxo.org
Luke!
It was Luke who had knocked her unconscious and brought her here!

"Luke, you bastard!" Xavia was very agitated as she cursed at him. She stood up as she was thinking of making an escape, but as a result the clattering sound of iron chains sounded. It was only then that Xavia suddenly realized that her hands and feet had been tied up with iron chains. She said angrily, "You are kidnapping me illegally! Let me go! Let me out!"

Luke laughed out loud and he stood in front of her as he looked at her from above.
"You still haven't learnt how to behave even after it has already been so long? It's
okay. You can continue drinking this then."
His disgusting voice was filled with evil.
Xavia frowned.
Before she could even think about it, Luke brought a glass of water over to her. The water looked colorless and transparent, as if it was just a glass of plain water, but it was definitely not anything good!
No! She couldn't drink this!
Her hands and feet were tied now. She would definitely die if she were to drink it!
What should she do?
How would she be able to escape?
Who would come and save her?
Just as Xavia was feeling extremely panicked and helpless...
