Billionaire And His Son Betrayed Me: Brothers Back Me Up novel Chapter 56

“Where do you think you’re going? Today, we’re settling this once and for all,” Sadie said.

She grabbed Nylia and dragged her toward the private rooms on the second floor. The second floor was much quieter than the bustling first–floor lobby.

Sadie was surprisingly strong, and with her friends helping out, Xylia couldn’t break free no matter how much she struggled.

At the door of the private room, just as Sadie was about to open it, Xylia saw her chance and grabbed a fistful of her hair, yanking hard.

Sadie yelped in pain and let go of Xylia.

Sadie’s friends immediately reached for Xylia’s hair, too, but Xylia whipped out a can of pepper spray her bag and blasted it right at the girls.

They screamed, covering their eyes and dropping to the floor. Taking advantage of the chaos, Xylia made a break for it.

“Xylia, you bitch, you’re playing dirty.” Sadie’s angry shouts echoed behind her.

Xylia didn’t slow down. She ran even faster.

Thankfully, she always kept some self–defense items in her bag when she went out.

Sadie might have been just a girl, but she’d been spoiled rotten since she was a kid, spending money like it grew on trees and hanging out with all sorts of shady characters.

Xylia wasn’t about to go head–to–head with her in a place like this.

Just as Xylia rounded the corner to head downstairs, out of the corner of her eye, she spotted someone emerging from a nearby private room.

The guy had broad shoulders, a trim waist, and an unmistakable aura. It was Joshua whom she’d been searching for.

As soon as Joshua stepped out, he felt an intense stare on him. He turned and met Xylia’s eyes.

A flash of delight flickered in his gaze, but when he noticed the pepper spray she was holding, his face fell. He strode over to her. “What are you doing here?”

Xylia looked at Joshua. His clothes were perfectly in place, but there was a lingering scent of women’s perfume on him.

Xylia bit her lip, but couldn’t bring herself to admit she’d been following him.

Just thought I’d take a look around. What about you? Did you come here alone, or with someone?” she asked. Her eyes stayed glued to Joshua’s face, trying to catch any flicker of truth..

But Joshua didn’t look the least bit uncomfortable, Instead, he lowered his charming eyes, masking whatever he was feeling inside. Just here to talk business,” he replied.

Before they could get more than a few words in, Sadie stormed over with her posse hot on her heels.

Sadie was rubbing her eyes as she ran, and by now, they were puffy and red all around.

When she saw Xylia standing next to Joshua, Sadie couldn’t help but stare at Joshua for a second, totally Caught off guard by how handsome he was. But she snapped out of it fast.

Sadie pointed at Xylia, her voice full of rage. “You dared to hit me? I’m going to make you

time, besides her usual crew of girlfriends, there were also a few guys along behind her.

The moment these guys laid eyes on Xylia, they couldn’t hide how impressed they were, openly checking her

“Honestly, Sadie, if Paul really ditched you for this chick, I can’t even blame him. He’s got good taste,” one of the guys joked.

“For real, just look at her. She looks so fresh–faced, and that hot figure? If you hadn’t told us she’s a few years older than you, I’d totally believe she’s our age,” another chimed in.

Hearing her buddies hype up her enemy like that, Sadie was fuming and finally snapped,

“You bunch of dickheads with balls for brains, keep running your mouths and I’ll gouge your eyes out myself,” Sadie snapped.

With Sadie blowing up like that, the guys instantly shut their mouths. But since they couldn’t talk back, they turned their frustration on Xylia instead.

As they started moving toward her, Joshua quickly stepped in front of Xylia, shielding her.

“Hey, handsome, of all the girls you could go for, you really had to pick this psycho? With a face like you could have anyone you want,” Sadie said, acting like she was giving Joshua some friendly advice.

yours.

But her eyes were full of disdain; she clearly thought Joshua must be out of his mind to be interested in someone like Xylia.

Joshua stood with his back to Xylia, his face icy cold. Those usually charming eyes were now flat and indifferent, and when he glanced at Sadie and her gang, it was like he was looking at something he wouldn’t touch with a ten–foot pole.

“Bunch of brats skipping school to get a taste of the real world, huh? Don’t come bawling when life smacks you in the face,” Joshua said coolly, his presence alone making it clear he wasn’t someone to mess with.

The guys looked like they were losing their nerve.

“What are you all scared of? She’s nothing. There are so many of us. Are we really going to let one guy stand in our way?” Sadie barked, trying to fire up her crew.

With Sadie taking the lead, the whole group rushed straight at Xylin.

Joshua unhurriedly rolled up his sleeves and loosened the top button of his shirt, the veins standing out against his lean, muscular forearms. He looked like he was about to throw down.

The tension in the air was off the charts.

Xylia stood behind Joshua, watching as he knocked out the guys in front of him with clean, ruthless moves- like it was nothing.

By the time he was done, only Sadie and her two friends were left standing, frozen in place. None of them dared to move a muscle.

Suddenly, the door to a nearby private room swung open, and Yana’s voice rang out before she even stepped

outside.

“Joshua, how long does it take to step out for a smoke?” she called, her tone tinged with impatience.

Xylia looked up and saw a familiar figure standing in the doorway. It was she, the wealthy woman, who kept Joshua.

Yana spotted Xylia, too, and she saw Joshua standing guard in front of her, with a bunch of punks sprawled. out on the floor.

Yana marched right up to Xylia. “Hi, I’m Yana Garcia. I’m Jos

Joshua gave Yana a warning glare.

Yana smiled and looked at Xylia. “Boss. Joshua’s my driver.”

Xylia frowned, feeling a wave of confusion.

‘Wait a second? If Joshua’s supposed to be her driver, then why was she the one driving when they showed up? Shouldn’t he have been behind the wheel?‘ she thought, suspicion creeping in.
