hapter 15

Lily felt desperate, humiliated, and angry.

In front of her, Xavier was the epitome of calm indifference, his sharp features radiating the arrogance of someone who held all the power. Could she really threaten him?

Maybe she could in this moment, but could she handle the repercussions of Xavier's retaliation afterward?

She quickly hung up, turning her gaze back to Xavier, her unfinished plea hanging in the air.

"Just save Hayden, and you can have whatever you want from me!" she blurted out, almost pleading.

Xavier looked at her, his expression dripping with condescension. "What do you think you can do?"

He didn't need anything from her. He just wanted her to go back to being the obedient woman she had once been.

Now, she was nothing but a hedgehog, full of spikes. Though they didn't hurt him, he couldn't stand seeing her like this. She made it seem as though she had suffered such great injustice, as if he had done something cruel to her.
