No longer a pushover

Chapter 162 Alfred said calmly, "I can handle this alone. There's no need to involve Cedric."

Why would he need Alfred's help to teach Justin a lesson? It would be like using an axe to cut a watermelon.

Xenia remarked, "You? I think you're not powerful enough. Wasn't Alfred filled with bravado? Why is he hiding away now?"

"Shut up," Justin said. He added, "Why are you taking that tone with him?"

Even he didn't dare to speak to Alfred like that.

Xenia felt sad. "What's wrong with what I said, Justin?"

Alfred smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes. He said to Justin, "Ask her to leave. We'll discuss this among ourselves."

"Right, right. Xenia, please leave the room and shut the door behind you."

"Justin, this has to do with me as well. Why do I have to leave?"

Xenia felt like Justin wasn't respecting her. Men never valued women once they roped them into a relationship.

Justin said impatiently, "Just get out like I told you to. Do you not understand English or what?"

He didn't want to let her watch how Alfred beat him up. He wanted to preserve his reputation.

Xenia stomped her foot and walked out angrily, leaving the two men in the room.
