Her Heart Her Terms (Lily and Xavier)

Chapter 405 "Xavier... Xavier didn't defend Sarah," Maryanne said, looking dazed. "The police took her away."

Surprise flashed in Lily's eyes. She quickly masked the look in her eyes and said, "It's probably because he can't outright defend her in public."

There were so many eyes on them, after all. The news of Sarah being taken away for interrogation might make it to the headlines, but Xavier could always get her out in secret.

Either way, it would be better than him unabashedly defending her in public-it would only ruin her reputation.

"That bastard's assistant was interviewed by the media earlier, claiming that he would never be biased toward Sarah. He'll have the police deal with this justly," Maryanne said, hardly believing her ears.

She even doubted whether her phone was broken. Had someone tampered with the scenes of the live broadcast?

But before she could go downstairs and have a look herself, the reporters promptly closed the live stream. They were in a hurry to release the next article.

This proved that what she heard earlier from Timothy during the live broadcast was true.

Staring at the dispersing crowd downstairs, Lily remarked, "They're just saying it for show. Why do you believe them so easily?"

She hardly believed anything Xavier said now.
