Billionaire And His Son Betrayed Me: Brothers Back Me Up novel Chapter 37

“What are you two doing?” Connor barked, his face dark with anger as he walked over, reaching out to grab Xylia

Joshua’s eyes went cold. He released Xylia and stepped between them. “Xylia almost fell. I was just helping her, is that a problem?”

Connor glared at Joshua, furious that Xylia had brought him to their home. “Xylia, you really are something! Bringing a man home while still married? Are you out of your mind?”

Xylia frowned. “Connor, watch your mouth. He’s my friend. Not everyone is like you!”

It was the harshest thing Xylia had said to Connor. His face darkened. “Say that again.”

Joshua smiled at Connor. “Mr. Ford, instead of slandering your wife here, maybe you should focus on your company. The Sadler family won’t be helping you anymore. If you can’t get any more contracts from East Gonsia. Ford Group won’t last much longer.”

Connor stiffened, his mind racing. Joshua knew about Ford Group’s troubles so well.

Xylia was too angry to pay much attention to Joshua’s words.

Joshua turned to Xylia. “Xylia, we’re just having a meal, and he already thinks the worst. I guess for him. having dinner with another woman is the same as being in an affair.”

Connor clenched his fists tightly.

“I’ll leave.” Joshua said, turning toward the car.

“Alright, let me know when you get home,” Xylia said.

Joshua paused, glancing back at her with a soft smile. “Sure.”

As the car pulled away, Xylia didn’t spare Connor a glance and walked toward Ford Mansion.

Connor was fuming, desperate to stop her and get some answers.

Xylia stepped aside to avoid him. Whenever he got angry and tried to grab her, his hand would land exactly on her injured right wrist.

“Xylia, did you tell your lover about Ford Group’s situation?” Connor demanded.

“He’s not my lover,” Xylia shot back, glaring at him. “And I’ve never been involved with your company. How could I know anything about it?”

Connor always thought of Xylia as a woman with no real abilities, just someone who cared about the family He assumed she wouldn’t understand anything about the business side.

But his anger was clouding his judgment. “I don’t care whether you told him or not. I’m warning you,

bring someone like him home again, I won’t let it slide.”

Xylia scoffed. “Connor, how many times have I talked about divorce? Do you think I’m joking?”

55 vouchers

“Nylia, you better not push me,” Connor growled, his teeth clenched. “Do you think because those rumors about you are gone, everything is fine? You’ve already hurt Ford Group. A woman like you, what can you do after you divorce me?”

Xylia met his gaze, her voice cold. “You know I didn’t cause the hit–and–run, but you keep bringing it up to attack me.”

Connor hesitated, his expression faltering. “Even so, you spent three months in prison. Can you really say you didn’t learn anything bad in there?”

Xylia sneered. “Connor, I’ll find out who framed me. And I’ll be divorced from you by the end of this month.” With that, she turned and walked into the mansion.

Connor stood there, watching her retreating figure. A wave of unease surged within him. He had never seen Xylia like this before. Beneath her usual softness, there was now a strength he couldn’t ignore. This time, she seemed serious.

But he couldn’t let Tessa’s reputation be tarnished, so he couldn’t take any risks.

He pulled out his phone and called his assistant. “Double–check the hit–and–run case. We can’t let anything suspicious get out.”

Joshua sat in the backseat of his car, replaying the events from earlier in his mind. Xylia had even asked him to let her know once he was home. It seemed like they were growing closer.

“Mr. Garcia, the task you assigned is going smoothly,” his assistant said, speaking formally now that he was of his role as a rideshare driver.

Joshua’s gaze sharpened. “Keep watching”

The next few days, Xylia took extra care of her injured wrist. Whenever she wasn’t working on designs, she went out. She had hired a private investigator to quietly look into the hit–and–run case.

After meeting with the investigator, she received a call from Ford Mansion. “Mrs. Ford, you need to come back quickly. Your son is sick.”

Xylia froze. After thinking it over, she decided to go back. Sonny was her son, after all.

When she arrived home, she ran into Tessa, who was hurrying in. Seeing Xylia, Tessa didn’t hide her disdain. “Xylia, what’s the point of rushing back? Sonny only wants me.

“Even when he’s sick, all he talks about is me. If not, Connor wouldn’t have called me to come. You really are a failure as a mother.”
