Before dinner, Xia Zhengguang looked up and instructed the butler.
"Yes, sir."
What could the butler say to his master’s demand? He could only do as he was told.
However, whether or not Xia Jiajiao would actually come home after he called was beyond his control.
While the two of them ate, the butler went to the landline in the living room, took out his cell phone to find Xia Jiajiao’s number, and dialed it using the house phone.
There was no answer the first time. The butler waited a moment, then dialed again.
After a long wait, Xia Jiajiao finally answered the phone.
"Hello...?"
Through the earpiece, the butler could clearly hear the deafening music blasting from Xia Jiajiao’s end.
’Needless to say, she’s either at a club or a bar.’
Xia Jiajiao acted like a good girl in public, but her true personality was closer to that of a wild child.
"Miss, it’s me."
The butler tried to keep his tone normal as he spoke to Xia Jiajiao.
"Who is this?"
Xia Jiajiao clearly hadn’t been paying attention, and her reply was tinged with impatience.
"Miss, your father wants you to come home as soon as possible."
’Once she gets back, she’ll find out what a massive upheaval has rocked the family.’
’Just a moment ago, her father had personally told her brother that he was going to cancel all of Xia Jiajiao’s credit cards.’
’He wasn’t sure if they’d been canceled yet, but the butler knew a grim scene awaited Xia Jiajiao when she got home.’
"I just got here. My friends will be upset if I leave early.
Just tell Dad I’m not coming home yet."
Xia Jiajiao still thought she was the same pampered heiress of the Xia Family and hung up the phone right after she finished speaking.
Little did she know... this was the calm before the storm.
At some point, Xia Zhengguang had come to stand behind the butler. Seeing him hang up, he asked, "Well? When is she coming back?"
Xia Zhengguang had no intention of hiding the truth for Zhang Yiqin’s sake.
As soon as Xia Jiajiao returned, he was going to make her pack her things and move out of the Xia Family’s house.
’How could the product of an affair continue to live under the same roof as them?’
Xia Jiajiao thought the butler’s call was just a formality, a token gesture to tell her to come home. She never imagined anything else was waiting for her.
She didn’t think anything of it and certainly didn’t head home immediately.
"Sir, the Miss is still with her friends. Their dinner isn’t over yet, so I suppose she can’t leave."
The butler tried his best to phrase it delicately, to save Xia Jiajiao some face.
Hearing the butler’s words, Xia Zhengguang snorted coldly and turned to Xia Zhiyun. "You go. Find out where she is and drag her back here!"
Xia Zhengguang felt he couldn’t wait a second longer. Just thinking of Xia Jiajiao reminded him of the fact that he’d been cuckolded.
Xia Zhiyun glanced at the sky outside, which was already pitch-black. In the end, he said nothing, simply grabbing his car keys and heading out.
Xia Zhiyun didn’t just start searching for her blindly. After leaving the house, he took out his phone and called Xia Jiajiao.
Xia Jiajiao might dare to hang up on a call from the house landline, but she would never dare to hang up on Xia Zhiyun.
The call connected, and it was answered almost immediately.
"Brother, why are you calling me at this hour? Did the butler snitch on me to you?"
Facing Xia Zhiyun, Xia Jiajiao reverted to her good-girl persona.
"Where are you."
