Slap!
Xavia’s eyes were red with tears as she said, “It was me! But what about you? How did you treat me as soon as you gained some wealth and glory? You made me live in such a miserable state like a dog who had to go around begging for food! Even though Felicity was a bitch who had always despised you and looked down on you, you chose to help her when she asked for help! What about me? What happened when I needed help!?”
“You were the one who let me down!” Xavia said.
“Everything is simply perfect now. You have already left the Crawford family. Finally, I am no longer afraid to tell you this. Even if you really want to escape, will you really be able to do so? Even if you can really escape from the Long family’s clutches, there is still the Moldell family, and the Lynwood family. The entire world’s going for your throat! You are just a miserable outcast, the same as you were back then!”
“I have already said so much. So, why don’t you say something? Answer me!”
Slap! Slap! Slap!
Xavia was so furious that she slapped Gerald three more times, consecutively.
All this while, Gerald had always been a looming shadow that haunted Xavia’s heart.
Being buried deep within her heart for a very long time, it contorted Xavia’s perspective on the world negatively.
Since all of her anger and frustrations were released in one single go, Xavia started to get a little hysterical!
“What else can I say? You can insult and humiliate me now and you can even kill me if it eases your soul!” Gerald replied as he shook his head.
“Hahaha! You still are clueless about what kind of girl I am, even after all this time!”
Xavia replied as she shoved Gerald.
After that, Xavia took a deep breath.
“Gerald, to tell you the truth, I do not have the intention of dragging you back with me to gain recognition from my family for capturing you!”
“I can give you a way out. As long as you are willing to bow before me, admit your mistakes apologize for your wrongs, I will let you go!” Xavia replied as she clenched her fists tightly.
The time she spent in the Long family was spent on gaining the loyalty of these men around her.
Over time, they had grown to become obedient and submissive to her.
“You…you will let me go?”
Gerald was surprised when he heard those words.
Indeed, he hated Xavia because of certain things and there was no denying that he hurt her on multiple occasions.
