Billionaire And His Son Betrayed Me: Brothers Back Me Up novel Chapter 376

Chapter 876

Jared turned his gaze to Nylia and greeted her with a smile.

“Ms. Sadler, long time no see,” he said.

Xylia’s expression darkened. “Who are you, really?”

“I’m here to help you,” Jared replied.

As he spoke, Jared looked at Josic,

Even though Josie kept glaring at him, he just ignored her and kept smiling.

He was clearly showing off his connection with Josie to Xylia.

Josie reluctantly introduced him to Xylia.

“Xylia, this is the friend of Dr. Jace I mentioned–the one who can help set up Joshua Garcia’s surgery,” Josie said.

Josie brought up Joshua Garcia’s surgery, trying to redirect Xylia’s attention.

She was hoping to get Xylia to focus on the surgery instead.

But Xylia’s face remained cold. She stared straight at Josic, her eyes distant, as if she were looking at a complete stranger.

Josie felt a pang of anxiety in her chest under that gaze.

She gritted her teeth and shot Jared a fierce glare.

Who told him to show up?‘ she thought.

Xylia shifted her gaze to Jared.

Is he with us or against us?” she asked Josie directly.

The question was for Josie.

Josie answered right away, “Of course, he’s a friend!”

Xylia was done beating around the bush.

Jared had teamed up with Noelle to set up Joshua Garcia before, and that wasn’t something she could just forgive.

To Xylia, there was no way he was a friend.

But what really surprised her was that Josie was actually friends with Jared.

Did Josie know about Jared’s plot against Joshua Garcial‘ Xylla thought.

‘If Josie really knew… Xylia thought, her mind spinning

How could I ever look at Josie the same way again?‘ she wondered, her heart sinking.

“Josie, you owe me an explanation,” Xylia said, her voice cold and form.

She hardly ever kept anything from Josie. Even about what happened with Joshua and Noelle, she’d told Josie everything

Josie knew. She knew everything.

Turns out Josie and Jared were friends.

Xylia just couldn’t believe they weren’t in cahoots.

Josie knew there was no way to hide it anymore.

She just couldn’t come up with an explanation.

All Josie could feel was that she was about to lose the only friend she had left.

“This is all Jared’s fault!‘ Josie thought, her heart full of regret.

Jared turned to Xylia. “Ms. Sadler, Josie and I are friends, but she had nothing to do with what happened with Noelle and Joshua Garcia. She has her own reasons. I really hope you two can sit down and clear the air.

Then Jared continued, “As for Dr. Jace, he’s a real character. I’ve been friends with him for years, and it took some serious persuading to get him to agree to operate on Joshua Garcia. I hope you’ll talk to Joshua and get him to Alverland ASAP”

Xylia knew Jared was using Joshua Garcia as leverage against her.

He just wanted her to sit down and have an honest talk with Josie.

Truth is, Xylia didn’t want to keep jumping to conclusions about Josie.

They really needed to talk this out.

With that, Jared got up and left.

After Jared left, the room fell silent,

Xylia and Josie sat across from each other.

Neither of them bothered to order anything. Josie looked at Xylia, clearly uneasy.

“Xylia, I knew about Jared going to see Joshua. I’m sorry,” Josie admitted, her voice low.

She was genuinely sorry.

Xylia asked, “Why?”

Josie kept her head down, clearly not wanting to talk about it.

Xylia stared at her, her face unreadable.

“Josie, I know you’re super private. Like back in Norhill, you wouldn’t let me come over or let me in on your personal life. I understand, Xylia said calmly.

“But this is about Joshua. I can’t just go by what you say and accept help from someone who’s hurt him before. You need to tell me the truth,” she said, her voice firm.

Her voice was icy and resolute.

But Josie could hear a catch in Xylia’s voice, a trace of emotion threatening to break through.

osie looked at Xylia in silence, as if she was fighting an internal battle.

Kylia couldn’t wait any longer.

Josie, if you still consider me your friend, then tell me the truth! If you don’t, then there’s no point in us being friends nymore,” Xylia said, her voice cutting through the tension.

Those words cut deep.

But Josie knew that once Xylia set her mind to something, not even a herd of wild horses could drag her back.

osie finally let out a sigh.

ince she was going to lose Xylia anyway, she figured she might as well come clean and let her brace herself.

ɔsie finally spoke, her words coming out slow and heavy.

Kylia found out that Josie was actually from a distant branch of the Alverland royal family, but because of her mixed eritage, her family was always looked down on by the royals.

This time, one of the princesses had set up a design competition, and her real aim was to push Josie’s family out of the icture for good.

f Josie lost, her whole family would suffer the consequences.

That’s why she wanted Xylia to enter the competition for her.

Lylia couldn’t make sense of it. “Why didn’t you just come to me? We’re friends–of course I would’ve helped you!”

How could she work with Jared and use Joshua against me?‘ Xylia thought, feeling a stab of betrayal.

osie let out a sigh.

You said you’d quit designing, and I had no idea what was really going on in your mind. Plus, this competition means igning a contract–if you lose, you could get caught up in the fallout, so….” Josie said, her voice barely audible.

So you were scared I’d refuse, and that’s why you worked with Jared to manipulate me and Joshua?” Xylia asked, her voice

1. cy.

osie lowered her head, saying nothing.

She didn’t deny it.

Xylia felt a mess inside, not even sure what she was feeling anymore.

She grabbed her bag and stood up, looking at Josie Josie, let me think about it. I’ll let you know later.

With that, she walked out without even touching her food.

Josie just sat there, silent, not even trying to stop her.

Her tears just kept falling.

She’d just lost the only friend she had left.
