The Millionaire And His Billionaire Ex-Wife

Chapter 329

Richard smirked at her in amusement.

“You really think I’d just tell you what I’m up to?”

Xylia sat tall and unshaken, as steady as a pine tree.

“You’ve got me locked in here, cut off from the outside world. Even if you told me why you’re doing all this, it’s not like I could stop you, right?”

Richard stared at her in silence, the curve of his lips growing wider.

“Honestly, I really appreciate how you stay so calm and collected,” Richard said.

‘If only she hadn’t gotten mixed up with Joshua, I’d probably like her even more, Richard thought.

But in the end, he kept his mouth shut.

Richard made Xylia eat, but she just picked at her food without any interest.

After she finished, instead of sending her back to her room, Richard took her outside the villa.

It was the first time in two days that Xylia had felt the sun on her skin. Instinctively, she couldn’t help but crave its warmth.

‘I didn’t realize just how much I missed sunlight,’ Xylia thought, her eyes drinking in the light.

Richard’s estate sprawled wide, its white stone paths completely paved with smooth pebbles—each step felt like a free foot massage straight from nature.

He took Xylia on a winding walk, turning this way and that until they ended up in the back garden.

At first glance, Xylia immediately spotted a blank tombstone smack–dab in the middle of the flower beds.

Xylia felt an uneasy shiver as she stared at the blank tombstone in the center of the flower bed, but she made sure not a hint of worry showed on her face.

Before she could even voice her question, Richard answered, “That’s my father’s grave.”

Xylia kept quiet, thinking to herself, ‘What does his father have to do with me, anyway?‘

‘There’s no way I’m paying my respects, Xylia told herself, determined not to budge in the slightest.

Richard completely ignored Xylia’s reaction, his voice cool and casual. “My father didn’t die of old age, and it sure wasn’t illness either. So, want to take a guess what happened to him?”

As Richard turned toward her, Xylia caught the cold, sinister smirk curling at the corner of his mouth.

She could feel a chilling hostility and unmistakable murderous intent radiating off him, all of it aimed
