Chapter 253

When he heard the sound of the door opening, Xavier looked up and saw Harriet coming in with something in her hand. He could not help but frown.

"Xavier." Harriet placed the fruit plate on the desk and called him affectionately.

"You can go now." Xavier's voice was cold, without a trace of warmth

Harriet didn't do as he said. She looked at him with her eyes wide open. "Xavier, we had a good time. Can you be so heartless to me?"

Xavier sneered, "When did I ever have a good time with you? You should thank God that I don't settle the score with you.”

Harriet's face darkened. She didn't expect Xavier to be so cruel regardless of their past relationship. No matter what, she had been with him for three years, right?

"What did you regard me as for the past three years?" Harriet couldn't accept Xavier being so indifferent to her.

Xavier looked at her, so expressionless that he only spat out one word with extreme indifference, "Substitute."

He had always wanted to find the feeling of the first contact from Harriet, but Harriet was never able to give it to him.

Harriet sneered and didn’t give up. "Even now I was not good enough for you?"

Now her family background, identity, and status could match his, yet it was still not enough?

"No." Without hesitation, he said determinedly.

Harriet stared at Xavier, "Okay, remember what you said.”

Xavier's refusal hurt her self-esteem. She hated Xavier's ruthlessness and what Arya had.

Daisy went to the room to see if Ryan had woken up. When she came out, she saw Harriet running out of Xavier's study. Her face darkened slightly. It was indeed awkward to be alone with Xavier, given her relationship with Xavier, especially now when Arya was here. What if something happened? She was still pregnant.

Daisy stopped her, "What are you doing in the study?"

Harriet was already upset about Xavier's refusal. Now as she was stopped by Daisy, she was even more upset and sneered. "What can I do? Xavier and I used to be lovers. Of course, we talked about the past.”

Daisy didn't like her anyway, so she simply stopped trying to please her. Anyway, with Henry to protect her, she could live a good life in the Jones Family.
