Chapter 157
The next day, Xavion sat in his office, feeling as if he had a thorn in his flesh and was sitting on pins and needles.
He couldn’t figure things out, and he felt a tightness in his chest
He really wanted to grab Xyla and interrogate her fiercely, to find out what was going on in her mind.
In the end, Xavion couldn’t sit still any longer. He rushed to Xyla’s mansion.
To his surprise, Zeno was there too.
The sight of Xyla and Zeno sharing a lovey–dovey moment cooking together was absolutely an eyesore to Xavion.
Xyla’s smiling face suddenly turned into a scowl when she saw Xavion..
“Kavion, what are you doing here? How did you get in?”
Xavion boldly took a seat on the couch and replied, “I have the keys to your place, so naturally, I just walked in. How else would I have gotten in
“Well then, you might as well return those keys to me. After I get married, it won’t be convenient for you to come and go as you please
Xavion’s expression darkened suddenly, casting a tense atmosphere in the room.
The keys are mine now, Why should I return them just because you say so?”
Xyla exclaimed, “Are you out of your mind? Those keys belong to my house, and I’m telling you to return them!”
in
“Pift, what are you to me? Why should I listen to you?” Xavion sneered, seemingly undisturbed.
“You! You’re being completely unreasonable! Xyla’s face turned red with anger.
Xavion unabashedly grinned and then headed into the kitchen.
“Oh, you’re making so much delicious food! It just so happens I haven’t had lunch yet, and I haven’t even had breakfast. 1 think I join both of you for lunch! You wouldn’t mind if I added a set of tableware and joined you, would you?”
“I do mind! I mind a lot! Can’t you see we’re having a private moment? Are you seriously going to interrupt this?” Xyla glared at Xavion with a fierce expression.
“Of course, why wouldn’t I? I’ve got thick skin, you know. Do you want to test it?” said Xavion.
Xavion grinned mischievously and inched closer to Xyla, even going so far as to invite her to pinch his cheek,
Xyla shot him a few stern looks, then turned and darted away.
of Xavion.
Unable to stifle her laughter any longer, she burst into giggles. However, she was coticerned about revealing her plan in front
She had no choice but to retreat to her room, where she leaned against the door and let herself smile without holding back Xavion’s behavior just a moment ago was incredibly cute; thought Xyla
Not only did she find it impossible to stille her laughter, but she also came close to yielding to the temptation of reaching out and pinching his cheek.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Xavion glared at Zeno as if he were facing an archenemy.
“I suggest you leave Xyla as soon as possible. Otherwise, I won’t let you off the hook.”
Zeno suddenly sneered, “Xyla loves ne so much. Do you think she’d give me up because of a few words from you?”
“You!” Xavion clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
“You scumbag, you acted so gently in front of Xyla, and now that she’s not here, you’re so arrogant. Have you convinced yourself that she can’t do without you?”
“Naturally, Syla said she would add my name to the property deed for this house. It will be our future home. So, what makes you think I would leave? Zeno smirked.
“You! You scoundrel! You’re only after Xyla’s money! Mark my words, today I won’t let you, this scumbag, get away with it!” Xavion could no longer contain the raging turmoil within him,
Pow
Navion landed a direct punch on Zeno’s body.
However, Zeno was no pushover and retaliated with a punch toward Xavion.
And a fight broke out between the two of them.
They fought from the kitchen to the living room, causing quite a commotion
When Xyla descended the stairs, what she saw were the two of them rolling on the floor, locked in combat.
Her eyebrows twitched, and she hurried over to break up the fight.
“Stop fighting, both of you! Stop it
Bur the two of them lost in their fury, paid no attention to her.
Xyla became anxious and rushed to separate them.
However, they were too engrossed in their brawl to notice her arrival.
Then, Xyla, an innocent bystander, fell to the ground with a loud thud.
A vase followed, shattering into pieces.
Only then did the two men stop their fight and turn their attention to her.
Sitting on the floor, Xyla clutched her stomach with a look of agony. “My stomach hurts so much, so much..
“Xyla Xavion rushed to Xyla, anxiously checking on her condition.
“Xyla, what’s wrong?”
Kyla’s face was contorted in pain, and beads of sweat formed on her forchend.
“My stomach my stomach.”
Ignoring everything else. Xavion picked up Xyla and carried her outside to the car, speeding all the way to the hospital.
Outside the operating room at the hospital, the two men stood waiting
Chapter 157
Xavion’s complexion was ghastly pale, and his demeanor exuded an icy coldness that seemed to permeate the entire hospital corridor.
“If anything happens to Xyla today, I’ll make your whole family pay for it!”
Zeno turned to Xavion, locking eyes with him. “What do you mean by that? Xyla’s fall wasn’t solely my fault. Don’t you think you share some responsibility!”
“Humph” Xavion sneered. “Once I’ve dealt with you and sought vengeance for her, I’ll make amends to her, naturally.”
But what if she doesn’t make it today?”
“What the hell are you saying? Xavion’s anger flared, and he seemned ready to punch Zeno again.
Quickly stepping back, Zeno clarified, “I mean if! If, hypothetically speaking, she were to unexpectedly pass away because of us, what would you do?”
Xavion continued to sneer
“First and foremost, there’s no ‘if. She’ll pull through. Secondly, even if what you’re saying were true, I’d make you pay first, and then I’d follow her to make amends in the afterlifer
Zeno smiled. Humph. Mr. Johansson, I didn’t expect you to harbor such deep feelings for Xyla. You’re even talking about sacrificing yourself for love.”
“Do you think everyone is like you? A scumbag who manipulates women for personal gain!”
Zeno retorted with a sneer, “Mr. Johansson, while you’re busy berating me, perhaps you should also take a moment to reflect. on yourself. After all Xyla chose me, and I’m the one she’s marrying, not you. That should tell you something.
“You!”
Xavion turned to glare at Zeno, his eyes radiating a menacing aura that seemed capable of causing destruction.
He clenched his fists tightly, itching to give this scumbag a sound beating.
Yet, begrudgingly, he had to admit that what Zeno had pointed out was true.
Xyla had indeed chosen to marry Zeno over him
Xavion’s frustration boiled over as he questioned himself. “Why? Why? How can he even compare to me? I have both money and good looks! Why did Xyla choose to marry Zeno, a worthless scumbag, instead of me? If Xyla doesn’t give me a reason today, I won’t let them go through with this marriage!”
Half an hour later, the lights in the operating room went out, and Xyla was wheeled
out.
Without waiting for the doctor to speak, Xavion rushed over and asked, “Xyla, why would you rather marry this scumbag Instead of me
Xyla hesitated for a moment and then responded, “Because Zeno is willing to marry me, and you’re not
Xavion immediately grew excited. “Who said I’m not willing? I am willing! 1.
