Chapter 326
Xavier stood at the doorway, listening to the conversation outside. Even though his expression remained unchanged, his ears were bright red.
"Go on; answer them," he said to the bodyguards.
Each bodyguard quickly shook their heads.
Soon, the older women started trying to introduce them to potential girlfriends.
Viola lived in the remote area of Sangine County. The locals had heard that Yvette was Viola's employer's daughter, but she had passed away due to some incident. Later, it had turned out to be a misunderstanding.
The reason they hadn't sought out Viola was because Xavier had come with many people and taken several neighbors away for questioning five years ago.
For a while, everyone thought Viola and her family had offended someone important. Because of that, they had been too afraid to contact Viola when the latter had come back.
Back then, they hadn't dared to lift their heads and look at Xavier when he had questioned them about Yvette's and Viola's whereabouts. That was the reason they weren't able to recognize him. Today, seeing Viola and Xavier, they couldn't help but sneak glances.
They initially felt sorry for him. However, upon seeing him, they admired Yvette for finding such a handsome husband. They thought it wasn't necessarily a bad thing for him to be blind; he wouldn't be able to cheat that way.
After a brief commotion, Xavier and Viola returned to their rooms.
Xavier's ears were still red. He still remembered how Viola referred to him as her son-in-law earlier.
On the other hand, Viola couldn't believe a dignified CEO like Xavier had been taken advantage of by an old woman. What she didn't know was that if it hadn't been for her, Ellie would have had her life cut short.
"I've already sent someone to get a new caregiver," Xavier mentioned.
"Okay." Viola was still feeling weak from her outburst.
She endured the physical pain and told Xavier, "Don't think that I've forgiven you just because I helped you. You're still Yvvy's husband, after all. I just don't like seeing you taken advantage of by outsiders."
Forgive.
Xavier caught the keyword in the sentence.
Mark worked for Xavier. While he had told Xavier about his and Yvette's past, he had naturally glossed over the wrongs Xavier had done.
Thus, Xavier had no idea what he had done to Yvette in the past.
Mark had only told him about how he had tried to win Yvette's favor, bought back Snyder Residence, purchased James' relics, and re-established Snyder Group, among other things.
"Viola, can I ask why you hate me so much? What did I do in the past?"
Hearing his question, Viola could no longer hold back. She recounted all the ways he had neglected Yvette.
"Don't you know? Back then, Yvvy knew nothing about what Yara and Terrence did! She bore the label of scamming you into that fraudulent marriage, silently enduring the
bullying with no way to speak out.
"I still remember how she swallowed an entire bottle of pills to sever her relationship with Yara. And you thought she was marrying an old man for 300 million dollars.
"The doctor said that there is no painless death in this world. For someone like Yvvy, who was so afraid of pain, to reach that point..."
Xavier hadn't realized that his mind
had altered his remaining memories to paint a rosier picture. He only remembered how much Yvette had loved him; he couldn't recall how he had treated her.
Suddenly, his head hurt intensely, as if it were about to explode. Fragmented memories seemed to be forcing their way out.
Not noticing his discomfort, Viola continued speaking.
"I used to live here alone. Every time Yvvy came to visit me, she would talk about how nice you were. But both of us knew you weren't nice at all. You were never nice, and you and Yvvy didn't suit each other the least bit.
With tearful eyes, Viola looked at Xavier and continued, "You know everything now. I am at the end of my life; I have no reason to lie to you.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
"I beg you, let Yvvy go. Claude is a good man. When we were abroad, he took great care of us. Yvvy will surely be happy if she marries him."
