“Ouch! It hurts! Wait, don’t leave! Don’t do this, Xavier. I really have something to tell you. It’s about Zyon!”
He did not turn around. “Spill then.”
Gritting her teeth, Yulissa said, “Are you not going to face me? Can you please turn around and look at me?”
Xavier let out a chuckle. “Is that necessary?”
“Why not?” Feeling disgruntled, Yulissa provoked Xavier with her words intentionally.
She continued, “You’re unable to overcome the hurdle in your heart. That’s why you can’t take a look at me. You’re supposed to hate me, but you still have me in your heart. Is that why you dare not turn around to look me in the eye?”
Listening to that, Xavier chuckled. Her words seemed like a massive joke to him.
With that, he finally turned around. His face was devoid of expression. Meanwhile, there was a sarcastic look combined with exasperation in his eyes.
“You truly have overestimated yourself, Yulissa.”
He controlled his wheelchair and moved forward as he voiced coldly.
“I don’t want to look at you because you’re not worth my time. Do you understand? Anyway, you can tell me about Zyon now. I’m running out of patience.”
As Xavier said that, Yulissa could tell that he was getting impatient, as she noticed that his eyes were turning red.
Grandpa had conducted experiments on mice when he made the medicine. Their eyes would become red when they turned mad. It’s similar to what’s happening to Xavier now. His eyes got red as well. It seems that the effect of this medicine is reacting well in his body. However, one injection is not enough!
Inwardly, Yulissa planned to give him another jab because of his tone and attitude toward her.
“All right. I’ll tell you. Stuart and Zyon have begun to curry favor with many high-ranking executives. They have snatched the rights you had in Fairchild Corporation. Besides, they also intend to take over your father’s influence in the country. Not only that, Zyon intends to make Rufus amend his will by getting married soon. If he could make his fiancée pregnant in the following month, then he has a high chance of inheriting his assets.”
She continued, “This time, the father and son duo is determined to get what they want. If Rufus disagrees, I think something dangerous will ensue. You have to stop delaying and make a move soon!”
Xavier frowned. “How’s your cooperation with the police?”
“Everything is going well.”
“Okay. That’s great. On a side note, I want to take something back from you,” uttered Xavier.
A frown appeared on Yulissa’s face. “What? Since I return, I don’t recall taking anything from you.”
“The badge.” He fixed his gaze on Yulissa and went on, “You took a black badge from me about a month ago. It doesn’t belong to you. You lied to me and stole the badge from me.”
After giving his words some thought, Yulissa smiled faintly in response.
“Indeed, I have that badge. If I’m not mistaken, you don’t own the badge. Am I right? I bet you don’t know what that is as well.”
“So what? Where is it? Give it back to me.”
“You should mind your attitude.” Yulissa leaned back against the bed and said, “Shouldn’t you come over to please me if you want something from me? Since you ask for the badge personally, I think it must be important to you. I’ll return the badge to you if you can come over and carry me to the bed. Or else, it’s a no from me.”
Xavier narrowed his eyes.
