Jacob couldn't figure out what Xavier meant.
Xavier put the folder on the desk and leaned back slightly. His tone was cold. "What? You don't understand what I'm saying?"
Jacob braced himself. "I've already brought her up. Do you really not want to see her? I don't think she's in a good condition. There's a scar on her face..."
It was fine if he had not mentioned the scar on her face. But once he said this, Xavier thought of her determination that day.
The anger never subsided. He grabbed the folder on the table and threw it at Jacob. "Get out!"
Jacob was so frightened that he quickly retreated.
When he walked by the door, he was still in shock. He didn't know why Xavier was so angry.
Didn't he clearly like Arya before?
He even got involved with someone like Eli because of her.
All these years, no matter what tricks Rufus used, he had never fallen for them.
Jacob looked back at Arya, who was standing by the side. "How did you offend my big boss?"
Arya pursed her lips and did not say a word. Could she say that she couldn't stand Xavier's beastly behavior and broke up with him?
"You go. I'm afraid I can't help you. I've never seen him so angry. It seems that you've offended him very gravely."
Jacob sighed slightly and said in confusion, "You are the person I have ever seen who can affect his emotions the most. He even dealt with Eli because of you. Then why is he so angry with you?"
Arya looked at Jacob and asked in confusion, "Who's Eli?"
Jacob didn't hide it from her. He had to let her know what the big boss did for her so that she could know how good Xavier was to her.
So Jacob told her everything.
"That Marshal went into prison, in the end, has something to do with the big boss. If he hadn't let Howard find fault with Estella to punish Estella, Marshal wouldn't have clashed with Howard and murder him."
The more Jacob spoke, the more he felt that Xavier had changed. "He never got involved in those things because of the Old Master. All these years, there were always certain people who tried to drag him down. He could handle all that calmly, but because of you, he not only got involved but also caused so much trouble."
Arya was stunned. She had always thought that Xavier was only perfunctory about punishing Estella and did not really do anything about it.
After all, it was his future mother-in-law.
However, he did it.
Arya could not tell what was going on in her heart. It was bitter and astringent, but there was a trace of warmth.
"Go back," Jacob said to Arya.
At this time, it was better not to annoy Xavier.
Arya had to leave the company first, but she didn't go back. Instead, she went to Xavier's villa.
She had already made a decision, so she wouldn't give up easily.
She would not easily back down.
It was because Arya wasn't ruthless enough that Estella framed someone around her again.
She wanted Estella to lose his most proud son-in-law and never have a backer.
Nanny Joy was surprised by Arya's arrival, but she let her in without asking.
After knowing her identity, Nanny Joy was not as enthusiastic about her as before.
After all, most people would like a mistress.
Arya understood, but she didn't explain.
She was a bad woman. This time, she came to Xavier to destroy his relationship with Harriet.
Even if she was scolded by others, she would gladly accept it.
She prepared dinner with Nanny Joy, and Nanny Joy slowly found out it's Xavier's cooking flavor.
When dinner was almost ready, Arya asked, "Does he come back every day?"
Nanny Joy nodded and said that he came back every night.
Initially, Nanny Joy also planned to leave after Arya left. She became the only one left in the huge villa. Xavier was not around all day. She could finish cleaning up in the morning, and the rest of the time she was idle.
Xavier didn't let her go. The villa used to be cold and quiet. Later, Arya lived in it. He was used to having people around. Nanny Joy was fine, and she could make the villa dustless.
He felt good to have a hot meal ready when he was tired.
As soon as Nanny Joy finished speaking, the door opened, and Arya felt she had her heart suddenly in her mouth.
Although she was fully prepared and knew that she would see Xavier soon, Arya's body still became uncontrollably stiff.
Xavier came in from outside the door, unbuttoned his coat, and called out to Nanny Joy. "Get me a glass of water."
"I'll do it." Arya took the initiative to do that. Sooner or later, she had to face it.
