When the woke u
she was in a large villa.
Xavier had put her under house arrest in the room, although he hadn’t tied her hands and feet, unless she jumped from the balcony, she couldn’t even dream of escaping.
Finally, she gave up struggling and slumped by the bed.
Xavier walked in carrying food, squatted in front of her, and said softly, “Honey, you must be hungry, right? I had the kitchen make your favorite dishes.”
He spoke while arranging the tableware.
Celente raised her eyes, but they were filled with coldness.
With a lift of her hand, the knocked over the food and said angrily, “You tied me up and brought me here, are you trying to keep me as a per?”
She hadn’t expected him to go this crazy,
Xavier looked at the mess on the floor, choked, and opened his mouth, saying hoarsely, I didn’t kidnap you.”
I just wanted to see you, but you kept avoiding and hiding from me. I had no other choice but to resort to this. I just wanted to have a good talk with you.”
Talk Talk about what?!”
Celeste’s fingertips trembled slightly as she forced herself to calm down, then said, “Are we going to talk about why you fall for Vivian, or how you two conspired to hurt me?”
Just thinking about those things made her whole–body tremble
Xavier froze in place, his bloodshot eyes filled with pain and regret.
“No, that’s not it.” His voice was hoarse, as if suppressing countless emotions. I don’t like her 1 just couldn’t control my desire for a moment. I only found our later that she did so many things behind my back to hurt you. I’ve already made her pay the price. I’m sorry for making you suffer…”
Upon hearing that, Celeste curled her lips into a cold laugh,
Those past grievances and pains were so lightly dismissed by him, even letting Vivian bear the sole responsibility, while he himself washed his hands of it completely.
She raised her eyes, her gaze full of sarcasm. So! You want to use I didn’t know to nullify all the wrongs I suffered this past month?”
Xavier’s Adam’s apple bobbed, his voice so low it was almost a plea: “Honey, I’m sorry… I’ll spend my entire life making it up to you, doubly so.”
He knelt on the ground like a devour believer, seeking Celeste’s forgiveness.
“Make it up?”
Celeste pulled her lips into a sarcastic smile, Xavier, do you even remember how you treated me time and again for Vivian’s sake?”
Xavier stiffened all over.
Every word she spoke was like a knife carving into his heart-
“That dinner party, you firmly believed I made Vivian go through a ‘casting couch situation, and afterwards you found someone to teach me a lesson.”
“That time at the annual meeting, to appease her, you not only threw my family heirlooms necklace into the sea, but also forcefully dragged me to apologize to her, causing me to fall from the building and almost die”
That time when the confidential information was leaked, to protect her, you didn’t hesitate to push me out to take the blame, and I spent three days in the detention center living like a ghost, not human.”
“That time during the kidnapping, you believed her slanderous words, insisting I was the mastermind, and held me down on the operating table, then without anesthesia, you brutally cut me ninety–nine times…….
With each sentence she spoke, Xavier’s mind replayed the events, and his face grew paler by the minute.
The Celeste didnt
there
Instead, she lifted her skirt, revealing a large, hideous scar on her thigh
