Chapter 77
Carlos told her not to worry about Xavier when they parted last night because he would ask someone to solve the issue. With favourable evidence. Husley wouldn’t be able to make things difficult for Xavier. However, Mikayla didn’t want him to interfere in the Salvatore family’s affairs and in only deal with Juliet and Xavier. Then family issues had accumulated for over twenty years, and Logan and his family’s hostility toward them wasn’t new. Only the Salvatore family members could resolve it. She thought she would have trouble sleeping at night because of those problems, but she unexpectedly slept well Mikayla got prepared for work early the following day and went downstairs. That was when she noticed that her parents were heading out.
“Mika, you’re up“” Sylvia put on a shawl and straightened Jorge’s coat. “Huxley’s in the hospital after being beaten up. I’ll visit him with your dad”
“Then I go to the company first before heading over. The housekeeper brought Mikayla her breakfast after she sat down. She had to go to the company first to assign today’s new tasks and have a meeting with the manufacturers in the afternoon. No matter how unwilling she was, she had to visit Huxley.
“It’s okay. Don’t worry. We’ll be there even if you’re busy” Jorge looked at Mikayla dotingly. Then, Sylvia linked arms with him, and they left the house together.
Mikayla took a bite of her food, unfolded the newspaper and read the news. As expected, the fight between Huxley and Xavier was plastered all over it. Meanwhile, the news of her and Carlos attending Kevin’s piano concert also took up a lot of space, with praise for both of them. She wondered, Has Mom seen this But she rarely reads the newspaper. Recently, people in Xosa have been talking about Carlos a lot. Not sure if someone was behind it or if it’s just media hype. However, given his personality, if he didn’t want people to know, it wouldn’t be hard for him to keep things under wraps. Hence, he must’ve approved it… I don’t know what he’s thinking. She stopped pondering, then folded the newspaper and finished her oatmeal before asking Josiah to pick her up.
The journey from the Salvatore manor to the company only took about ten minutes. Before getting off she told Josiah to wait for her downstairs. When she arrived at the office, she got to work with Maxius before assigning tasks to the others. Meanwhile, Quinnlyn exited Mikayla’s office after receiving information that the latter would be absent in the morning. Others also heard about what happened to Huxley. They had worked together for a few days, but they didn’t probe even even though they were curious. It took Mikayla an intense hour and a half to handle her work, during which she received a call from Juliet. Then, she picked up her coat and walked downstairs, asking Josiah to take her directly to Xosa People‘) Hospital. When she arrived, she asked the receptionist where Huxley’s ward was before heading there
Winona was walking toward Mikayla when the elevator door opened. With long, wine–red hair, a pleasantly made–up face, and expensive clothing, the latter could be considered quite a beauty.
She walked out, but Winona didn’t intend to leave.
“Mikayla,” Winona called out,
Mikayla stopped, looking infifferent. “What can I do for your
You and your fiance have really i
y been in the spotlight lately–you two are on the front page of the newspaper every day.” Winona turned to face Mikayla.
Mikayla’s stunning beauty was undeniable. Her striking features captured attention from any angle. She exuded a unique, inimitable charisma. Her clothes and accessories seemed like they were merely there to complement her, as everything she wore carried her distinct style and charm. Hence, this was why Winona was jealous of her. When she was a child, no matter how beautifully she dressed, as long as she was with Mikayla, their family elders would always praise Mikayla before turning their attention to her. In her eyes, those words were perfunctory and like charity. She was also beautiful, capable, and hardworking, but she paled in comparison to Mikayla, who was born gorgeous. No matter how hard she tried in school, she couldn’t surpass Mikayla Since birth, Mikayla had always been the eldest daughter of the Salvatore family, Jorge was the chairman of the Salvatore Group, a position initially belonging to Logan. Every time outsiders mentioned the daughter of the Salvatore family, the first person who came to their minds was Mikayla. However, she beat Mikayla when it came to Jaxon, Winona looked at Mikayla arrogantly and she thought of that.
“Why Are you jealous?” Mikayla lowered her eyes and smiled.
Winona sneered. Jealous! You’ve got to be kidding me! You’re not married yet! We don’t know if something will happen and cause you to be left alone again. I wonder if any other man in Xosa will still want you then?”
“Winona, didn’t I say there was one thing I haven’t told you yet? Mikayla moved closer. “Have you forgotten my warning? If you insist on messing with me, I won’t mind kicking your ass earlier!”
“I’m not scared, Mikayla. We won’t let Xavier off the hook. You’ll watch your best friend’s brother go to jail Winona stood straight, looking smug.
“Well, just you want. You’ll know whether I’m just all talk and no action or not? Mikayla glanced at her coldly. “The world doesn’t revolve around you, and you don’t get the final say in Xavier’s matters! There was no point in continuing the conversation with Winona, so she turned and left.
Winona’s eyes twinkled sinisterly as Mikayla walked away. She mused, ‘Kick my ass? You’re welcome to do that if you have what it takes!
Mikayla found the ward where Huxley was. She noticed how Logan’s family gave her parents cold shoulder. She could cut ties with them, but her kind–hearted parents couldn’t. Therefore, even though she knew that this could happen, she still chose to show up.
