Chapter 51
Chapter 51 It was obvious that Joanna had stolen Hayden away , so waint Nevin a bit out of his mind ? Xander didnt even focus on that , after bearing what Hayden said , he got so mad that his beard practically stood on end .
What do you stolen Youre still just a kid ! Youre just asking for a beating .
Go stand ourside ! mean My eyes narrowed slightly .
Over the years , the Parker family had hardly used any form of punishment other than picking watercress .
Standing outside was something I hadnt seen before , Nevin bared his teeth , completely unwilling to admit he was wrong .
If you want to ! He turned and bolted for the door Every damn day , youre the most troublesome one , Xander said , tossing two books at Nevins back as he left .
Nevin patted his butt and walked out , unfazed .
Xander felt his blood pressure rising and leaned against the desk , feeling a bir dizzy , Grandpa , are you okay ! Hayden hurried over to support hum Xander shook his head , his gaze falling on me next .
Yvonne , the Parker family owes you an apology .
I cant believe this kid … By the end of his sentence .
Xanders jaw clenched tight .
He knew this little grandson caused trouble all the time , but he had no idea it had gotten this out of hand .
Its all in the past .
Fin not taking it to heart , I said slowly , shaking my head .
I never expected the Parkers to give me any kind of explanation .
They were all Parkers ; who would really stand up for me , an outsider ? Sometimes , its important to know ones place .
If Hayden hadnt brought it up .
I wouldnt have mentioned it at all .
Tonight , It But Xander was someone who cared deeply about face and reputation .
If he didnt know about this , that would be one thing , but now that he did , he wouldnt just let it slide .
He sighed and sat back down , taking a long time before he spoke again .
When your grandfather passed away , he entrusted you to the Parkers .
Now I have let him down .
I couldnt help but think of my grandfather .
I had begged him to compromise and negotiate the marriage with the Parkers , but right then , I felt such regret .
He must have been disappointed in me loo .
Even if he were lying on the ground now , my actions probably kept him from resting peacefully .
opened my mouth , ready to say something , but Xander pulled out a file from the drawer .
This is the blueprint and related documents for the Pax Occana .
Take it as compensation from the Parker family His sudden offer took me by surprise .
I dont need this .
Deborah already gifted me a villa , and 1 … They really were a family that liked to use material things to make up for everything .
Since childhood , that brat Nevin hus been spoiled rotten .
I know hes gotten into fights .
Regardless , youre still his sister in law , to help him out , Xander added .
Now I began to understand ; the Pax Oceana wasnt just compensation for me , but also something to protect Nevin .
It was said that the fax Oceana was a luxury cruise ship under the Parker Group , and its annual entertainment revente exceeded hundreds of millions .
Xander was seriously throwing down a lot of resources this time … but I had long since wanted to cut ties with the Parkers entirely .
I cant accept this In other words , I wasnt going to help Nevin Xander froze in his chair , his piercing gaze darkening a few shades .
Hayden , who had been silent the whole time , suddenly spoke up .
If Grandpa is giving this to you , then just take it .
1 looked at him in surprise , and before I could ask anything , Hayden shoved the blueprint into my hands and quickly told Xander , Grandpa , Yvonne understands your good intentions .
Well handle this mater ourselves All right .
Only then did Xander nod , satisfied .
Then well take our leave .
After that , Hayden took my hand and started to walk out As soon as we reached the dour , I yanked my hand away from his .
What are you doing ! I dont need you making decisions for me .
I was a bir angry , why did he think he could seeept things on my behalf ? 1/2 Extra Check in 7:47 PM c Chapter 51 Hayden turned to me , his charming eyes boring into mine as he spoke slowly and deliberately .
So , what do you want to do ? Tell Grandpa that you want Nevin to go to jail He needs to face the consequences for his own mistakes .
I replied , furrowing my brow and raising my voice a bit.
A few maids passing by nearby turned their heads to look at us .
I didnt care anymore ; I was already at a breaking point .
But it was Hayden who yanked me away .
Back at Rosy House , I headed upstairs to take a shower .
As I looked in the mirror .
I noticed a big bruise on my lower back that was throbbing faintly.
I hadnt really noticed it earlier … 1 wanted to grab some ointment to ease the pain when Hayden suddenly barged in .
I hurriedly pulled my shim down to cover the bruise , irritated as I snapped , Whats your problem ? Cant you knock ? This is my house , Hayden shot back , catching me off guard .
He frowned and added , Pull your shirt up .
What ? I thought I misheard .
Hayden shot me a cold glance , his fingers reaching for the hem of my nightshirt .
I instinctively pulled back and questioned him , What are you doing ? Theres a bruise on your back , he said slowly , eyes still fixated there .
I froze for a moment , then realized he mustve seen in when he walked in .
My expression darkened , and coolly replied .
Its none of your business .
Ill call the doctor , Hayden said quickly , Im not that delicate 171 just put on some ointment , I shot back .
1 definitely didnt want to make a big scene in the middle of the night … He paused for a moment , then suddenly offered .
Thi help you u put on the nintment .
1 widened my eyes , not processing it fast enough before he snatched the ointment bottle from my hand .
Hayden was genuinely trying to help me .
I can do it myself , 1 said , refusing Are you afraid of Grandma finding out ? Or are you just scared of me ? His deep , enigmatic eyes seemed to draw me in .
I scoffed , Scared of your Come on Hayden , thats just wrong .
Isnt it always you who avoids me ? Hayden frowned , falling silent , I thought he might finally give up , but then I suddenly felt a chill against my lower back .
You .
I wanted to scold him , but a finger pressed gently against the bruise .
I winced in pain and gasped .
I had thought those bruises only looked scary ; I hadnt realized how much they actually hurt .
Nevin was like a raging bull , his strength was absurd .
Hayden paused , raising his voice in frustration , Why didnt you say anything ? Youve been putting up with this all day ! 1 casually turned to take back the ointment from him .
Am I supposed to bring it up just so you guys can mock me ? I tried to head for the bathroom to apply the ointment , but Hayden grabbed my wrist and pulled me back to him .
Yvonne , do you really see me this way ? Isnt it true ? I retorted , bracing myself for his dark gaze and the shadow looming over me , as if it were blotting out the sun .
