Rufus never expected Xavier to be so violent.
"Mr. Jones, we are gentlemen. It's not good for us to hit a woman, is it? As the saying goes, a gentleman knows how to use his words and not his fists."
"I'm sorry, I'm not a gentleman." Xavier sounded aggressive. People could tell from his voice that he was furious. "I came to celebrate the birthday today. Now it's like I have come to a brothel. I don't know who's so blind and let in such kind of a woman."
Xavier didn't show any mercy.
Mr. Gates's face turned red with anger.
Rufus glared at the woman. 'It was okay for her to pester Xavier, but how could she say that she was pregnant? Xavier now had leverage against them.'
Now, no matter what, he had to blame it for Xavier.
Otherwise, the Gates Family would be a laughing stock who let a prostitute ruin a good birthday party.
Rufus stopped Xavier. "If you're leaving, take your woman with you. Don't make my place dirty."
"Mr. Gates, this woman came to your house. She said she was pregnant with my child. I have to show everyone. Jacob, just watch here. If she can't make a baby, she's not allowed to leave."
Xavier's voice was not high, but his words were so clear that everyone present could hear him.
The people below whispered.
Everyone knew that the Jones Family and the Gates Family were at loggerheads for quite a long time. But even if they knew it, no one would say it. They just kept it in mind.
The two families' feud started nine years ago, when the general of the military region was Cullen, and his position became vacant as soon as he retired. At that time, Mr. Jones and Mr. Gates were the candidates to take over.
However, Cullen recommended Mr. Jones, and the Gates Family lost the position.
Mr. Gates was not convinced and secretly set obstacles. There was a drill when Mr. Gates secretly did something, which almost killed Mr. Jones.
From then on, they had been harboring grudges. Although they appeared to be amiable, they were secretly against each other.
Everyone had their own ideas about what was right or wrong from what happened today.
No matter which side they stood on, they would not speak at this time.
No one could tell which side would win in the end.
Rufus glared at the woman angrily and pulled the rug from under her. "How did you get in here? Tell the Jones Family about your grudges. Did you deliberately come here today to cause trouble? Tell me, who asked you to come?"
Xavier didn't even care to look at the scene.
Rufus made up his mind not to let Xavier leave without any trouble and stepped forward to stop him again. Jacob was faster than him and stretched out his long arm to block Rufus.
"It could indeed happen in the Gates Family. A prostitute comes to celebrate her birthday for no reason. It's quite an eye-opener."
"Stop talking nonsense here. She slipped in." Rufus immediately denied it.
"The invitation card is a joke? If people can enter without it, why did you make the fuss and send the invitation card?"
"When this happens in the Gates Family, I will find out the truth. I want to see who's trying to ruin my birthday party."
Mr. Gates, who had been silent for a long time, finally opened his mouth. The imposing manner of a soldier was vividly displayed.
However, between the lines, it could be told that he was determined that someone deliberately messed up and it had nothing to do with the Gates Family.
Some were talking about the incident. Xavier sneered, ignored it, and carried Ryan away.
Ryan could see Xavier's face clearly. He looked calm, but his breathing was heavy, and his forehead was covered in sweat. It was only because the light was dim and others could not see it clearly.
Ryan asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you..."
Xavier hushed Ryan.
Ryan was very obedient and stopped asking.
Xavier got into the car and took off his suit jacket. When he was driving, he opened the window let the wind blow in, so he could stay awake.
He sped up and suddenly a figure appeared in front of him. It seemed that she was in a panic and did not see the road ahead clearly. She waited for Xavier to hit the brake.
He still bumped into her.
Ryan was stunned. "Dad...We hit someone."
Xavier was not in the mood to care about the person he had bumped. Instead, he asked Ryan, "Are you OK?"
