The secretary was so scared that she sweated and apologized hurriedly, "Sorry, sir."
Xavier glanced at Harriet who was glaring at him.
"You can leave."
The secretary nodded repeatedly. She was so scared just now and she thought Xavier would scold her for her dereliction of duty.
Xavier signaled for Jacob to carry Ryan out.
Jacob understood and coaxed Ryan. "Let's go. I'll take you to eat something delicious?"
Ryan widened his eyes and his eyelashes flashed. He looked at Xavier, and then at Harriet. He reached out and pulled the corner of Xavier's clothes. "Who is she?"
At this moment, Harriet looked at Ryan with a vicious look.
'Why is he still alive? It seems that Xavier has recognized him.'
"A small potato. You go out with Jacob."
Jacob picked up Ryan. "Let's go. I know a place where there are delicious steamed eggs. It tastes like jelly, tender and smooth…"
Jacob's voice faded away in the corridor. In the office, it seemed that only Harriet's heavy breathing could be heard.
She had lost Xavier, so she tried her best to win Rufus's heart. In order to tie Rufus's heart, she had been with Rufus all this time. Only when she watched the news today did she know that something had happened to Estella.
She visited Estella at the jail and knew it was Xavier who had done all this.
"How can you treat my mother like that?" Harriet questioned, "Anyway, we had a relationship before…"
"Relationship?" Suddenly Xavier interrupted her. "Did we?"
Xavier walked closer and closer to her. "Why don't I remember it?"
Harriet couldn't help but retreat, her voice trembling. "We had a relationship…"
Xavier sneered and grabbed her chin. His eyes were dark and sharp. "I didn't realize you had this ability before."
Harriet finally felt that she was impulsive. She shouldn't have disobeyed her mother and come to Xavier.
Now that he knew the truth, he must hate her.
But when she saw that her mother was charged with premarital adultery and murder, she could not calm down.
In a fit of anger, she rushed to the Jones Group to question Xavier.
"It's all my fault. Please let go of my mom…"
"Well, what's your fault?" Xavier's tone became more and more aggressive.
When she looked at Xavier's cold eyes, her back felt numb, and her heart ached even more. He was so angry with her for Arya.
"No, I did nothing wrong!"
Suddenly, Harriet started to talk differently. "It's her fault, Arya. She should have slept with Mr. Fisher."
A sudden slap hit Harriet's face hard. She lost her balance and fell.
She covered her burning right face and looked at Xavier in horror.
She thought he would at least have some feelings for her for the sake of the four-year relationship. But she didn't expect him to be so cold-blooded.
Xavier asked his secretary to bring a towel over, as if he had just touched something dirty.
The secretary walked in and glanced at the woman lying on the ground. 'You deserve this!'
When Harriet was the fiancee of Xavier in the past, she would yell at them every time she came to the company. She was so arrogant as if she was the boss here.
Xavier took the towel, wiped his hands slowly, and looked down at Harriet. "I don't care who came up with the scheme. I won't let go of anyone who participated in it!"
