Every word Xylia spoke felt like a needle piercing Connor’s heart.

With each sentence spoken by Xylia, his complexion grew increasingly pale; by the end, his gaze had once again become vacant and dull.
Xylia saw the hand he used to block the door tremble as it clenched into a fist.
She was thinking of closing the door now to rid herself of this detestable drunkard.
Unexpectedly, the drunkard was still forcefully pressing against the door.
Connor muttered, “Xylia, all of this is my fault. But Tessa… the life she was meant to have was taken away by you. I am repaying the debt on your behalf.”
Connor now finally understood why Xylia acted so uncharacteristically–almost with crazed determination- resolutely insisting on divorcing him three months ago.
It turned out she had known all along. He made her take the blame to protect Tessa and even broke her limbs.
No wonder he had previously sensed that something was amiss with Xylia; she hated him.
Xylia was sick of such words.
She no longer wished to engage in arguments with him.
“I did not interfere with her life. If you have feelings for her, do not use me as an excuse. From the moment we received our divorce certificate, there has been no relationship between us.” With that, Xylia used both hands in an attempt to close the door.
But Connor suddenly straightened up and, with great force, pushed the entire door open.
Startled, Xylia had no time to react before Connor once again seized her hand and pressed her against the
entryway.
“Do you hate me? Do you hate me right now?” Connor stared at Xylia as if possessed.
Xylia attempted to repeat her previous tactic and kick him, but he restrained her legs, leaving her unable to
move.
“Connor, let go now!” She struggled desperately, glaring angrily at Connor as she fought.
Connor looked at Xylia in this state and, to his surprise, felt somewhat reassured.
He suddenly smiled and muttered, “Your hatred for me only proves that you still love me. Without love, there can be no hare.
Xylia thought that he had lost his mind.

She yelled. Let go of me!”
Connor said. “However, Xylia, even if you hate me, you should not willingly degrade yourself by seeking one patron after another to protect you. Yes, Kaden Sadler is rich, but what’s with Joshua Garcia? You even fancy a lousy chauffeur like him. Are you really that desperate, or are you just not picky and will take any man?”
His remarks became increasingly inappropriate.
Xylia’s checks flushed with anger, but she could only resign herself helplessly to Connor’s methods.
Connor was smelling the familiar fragrance on Xylia, then suddenly buried his head in her neck, drawing in
her scent.
Xylia’s eyes brimmed with tears; her struggle grew more intense.
“Help!” she shouted loudly.
Connor hooked the room door with his foot and was about to kick it shut..
Just after exiting the elevator, Joshua heard Xylia’s cry for help. His gaze sharpened, and he ran over in a few
steps.
As he saw Connor holding Xylia, his eyes immediately reddened, “Go to hell!”
He kicked open the door just as it was about to close, grabbed Connor by the back of his collar, and immediately punched him.
Connor fell to the floor, a metallic tang spreading in his mouth.
He became somewhat more clear–headed.
Seeing Joshua comforting Xylia in his arms made my anger flare up instantly. Joshua Garcia, don’t forget that you’re the Garcia family’s chauffeur. Even if your position is lowly, you still have a chance to get ahead thanks to the Garcias. How could you possibly be interested in a shameless slut like Xylia?”
Joshua gently patted Xylia on the back. Upon hearing Connor’s words, he calmly spoke in her ear, “Don’t be afraid. Let me handle this.”
He let Xylia go back to her room. Then, he closed the door before he walked toward Connor.
Step by step, he walked silently across the soft carpet, an endless sense of oppression accompanying him as he approached Connor, who lay on the floor.
Connor was intoxicated, and his reactions were half a beat slower than usual.
It was not until Joshua walked up to him and grabbed the front of his collar that he finally reacted.
Joshua said gloomily, “Connor Ford, you failed to cherish what you had and repeatedly debased yourself in front of Xylia. Now, you must bear the consequences yourself.”
Connor had not yet grasped what Joshua meant by his words.

However, when confronted with Joshua’s eyes as terrifying as a demon’s, he felt waves of bone–chilling cold. spread throughout his body.
“You…” As soon as he opened his mouth, Joshua started punching him.
A barrage of punches and kicks struck him, leaving him barely conscious.
A few minutes later, Connor lay on the floor, covered in blood.
Joshua tapped his hands together.
He lifted his gaze and glanced indifferently at the surveillance camera at the end of the corridor, pointed at Connor on the floor, then walked to Xylia’s room and knocked on the door.
His voice became gentle once more. “It’s me, Xylia.”
Soon, Xylia opened the door.
Within just a few minutes, Xylia had already regained her composure.
As she opened the door, Joshua was the first to step in front of her, even before she could look toward the corridor.
He merely instructed gently, “Go in.”
Xylia had no choice at all and was pushed into the room by Joshua.
Connor lay collapsed in the corridor, his entire body wracked with pain, still muttering to himself, “Just a lousy chauffeur, and you dare to hit me? I’ll make you pay for this…”
Ten minutes later, the rescue team prepared by the cruise ship arrived on the tenth floor and carried Connor down to a lower floor.
Xylia had already changed into loungewear.
When she returned to the living room, Joshua heated a cup of milk for her.
“Thank you,” Xylia said.
She took a sip of milk and then looked at Joshua.
In the end, unable to restrain herself any longer, she asked, “You didn’t beat him up too badly, did you?”
