Now it was obvious that the relationship between the Jones Family and the Gates Family was getting intenser. Georgina urgently needed to find a way out.
At that time, Xavier refused to cooperate with Georgina, so she tried to get close to Arya, intending to find a breakthrough from Arya.
However, she probably didn't expect Arya to be so vigilant.
"You don't want to tell me yet?" Arya was upset. She could tolerate that he hid something about Janet from her, but she couldn't tolerate this matter.
Hearing this voice, Xavier realized that Arya did care about it.
Xavier sighed. If he didn't tell her, she would not let it drop. "She's Rufus's wife..."
Rufus's wife?
This really surprised Arya. Then why did she approach her? Because she was from the Jones Family?
After all, everyone knew the grudges between the Jones Family and the Gates Family. As retirement approached, the relationship between the two families became tenser, and they even didn't want to do some window dressing.
Xavier didn't say anything, but she knew a little more or less.
"Why did she approach me?" Arya couldn't figure it out.
Xavier walked around the desk to Arya. He leaned against the desk next to the chair. And then he picked up Arya's hand and played with it as if he didn't hear Arya's question.
Arya wanted to withdraw her hand from his, but Xavier clenched her hand tightly, not letting her take it back.
"I'm asking you something." Arya frowned.
"Why do you care so much?" Xavier took her hand and kissed it. "Take care of yourself and the baby in your stomach. And give me a daughter."
Xavier didn't like her to care about these things because he could handle them.
"Do you think I can stay out of this?" Arya questioned.
Now Arya was not in the mood to joke with him. "She came to me, and I almost fell into her trap. Do you still want me to not know anything?"
Arya knew that he was doing good for her and he didn't want her to worry too much, but she was already involved in this matter.
She was Xavier's wife, and naturally, she was the enemy of the Gates Family.
She couldn't avoid it. All she could do was stand with him.
Arya stretched out her hand to touch his face, gently stroking his angular face with her fingertips. "Well, just because we don't have a marriage certificate, so you don't treat me as your wife?"
Xavier's broad palm covered the back of her hand, pressed her hand, and pressed his face against her palm. "She's Rufus's wife..."
If he didn't make it clear today, Arya would not give up.
Xavier let go of her hand and subconsciously wanted to light a cigarette, but soon stopped and threw the lighter on the table. "She has a piece of evidence. She wants to talk to me about cooperation. I didn't agree. She approached you on purpose. Maybe she wanted to take advantage of your relationship with me..."
"Is it Rufus's or Mr. Gates's?" Arya knew from Xavier's words that the document was not good for the Gates Family. Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked Xavier for cooperation.
However, she did not understand that since Georgina had married into the Gates Family and had a child, shouldn't she stand by the side of the Gates Family to tide over the difficulties together at such a critical moment?
Why was it betrayal?
How could it be good for her if the Gates Family fell?
"She seems to believe that you will win, so she came to talk to you about cooperation?" Although Arya was asking, she was quite sure.
If she didn't believe that Xavier would be the winner, how could she talk about cooperation in such a sensitive period?
Between her husband and Xavier, she trusted Xavier?
