Chapter 376

Penulis: Ninth Cup
“If you didn’t like me at all, why would you let a debt of gratitude force you into agreeing to be with me?”

She knew Chris better than that. He wasn’t the kind of man who allowed himself to be controlled by anyone. Even if he owed someone his life, he would never let that person threaten him into anything.

That was why, later, when that old woman from the Xander family pressured him to marry Winter, Skyla had already guessed his answer before he even gave it.

    The poisoned dart fell to the floor.Gavin immediately stepped forward and grabbed the bodyguard’s hand. With his other hand, he yanked the tie from the man’s neck and quickly tied it around his wrist. Then he pulled a switchblade from his side.There was no time to sterilize the blade. Gavin cut into the wound on the back of the bodyguard’s hand to let the poisoned blood drain out.“Get him to the hospital now,” Gavin ordered the bodyguards at the door.After they left, Gavin returned to the closet.The safe was built into the inside of the wardrobe, tucked into a corner the light couldn’t reach.But although the safe looked large from the outside, there wasn’t much space inside. The five poisoned darts on the floor should have been enough to fill it. There shouldn’t be any other hidden weapons.Gavin tossed a flashlight into the safe.Nothing happened.The flashlight also lit up the inside of the safe completely.There was a small box inside.Gavin put on gloves, reached i

    “If you didn’t like me at all, why would you let a debt of gratitude force you into agreeing to be with me?”She knew Chris better than that. He wasn’t the kind of man who allowed himself to be controlled by anyone. Even if he owed someone his life, he would never let that person threaten him into anything.That was why, later, when that old woman from the Xander family pressured him to marry Winter, Skyla had already guessed his answer before he even gave it.“I agreed to be with you, but of course it wasn’t because of her.”His deep voice was cold and merciless.“You just happened to be a convenient tool.”Skyla stared at Chris’s broad back, her face going pale. In disbelief, she asked, “A tool?”“What do you mean?” Her reddened eyes widened as she pressed him for an answer.She didn’t believe it. She refused to believe it.“I was your only girlfriend. I was the first woman you ever acknowledged in your life!”Chris put out his cigarette, his expression unreadable.“Long b

    Gavin went up the stairs, and Chris turned to leave the basement.“Chris!” Skyla called after him. “Do you really feel nothing for what we used to have?”Her voice, full of hope and pain, echoed through the empty basement.Chris was walking up the steps when he heard her. His footsteps stopped.What they used to have...He let out a soft, mocking laugh.“What exactly are you talking about?” His voice was cold to the extreme. “The fact that you saved my life, or the part where you threatened to die so I would agree to be your boyfriend?”Saved his life.Skyla heard the open mockery in Chris’s words, and a chill spread through her heart.After the truth came out that she had only pretended to be disabled, the life debt between them became simple.Over the years, the Xander family had given the Jasper family more than enough. They had repaid her for saving him long ago.Her legs were perfectly fine. Chris no longer owed her anything.But how could she accept him treating her s

    The last time, he had used that same account to publicly acknowledge Winter as his wife.This time, he had used it to issue a statement cutting all ties with her.Skyla looked at the account on the screen. It was Chris’s account, and half an hour earlier, he had posted a clarification statement.She skimmed the rest of the text, but her eyes locked on the final sentence.“Winter Scott and I no longer have any relationship.”Skyla suddenly laughed.Excited, she reached out and hugged the tablet to her chest, reading the statement over and over again.Chris had really kept his word.Back then, Chris had publicly revealed Winter’s identity and placed her in the position of Mrs. Xander.Now, he had personally posted a statement clarifying that he no longer had any relationship with Winter.She wondered how Winter would react when she saw this news.But even as Skyla felt thrilled, alarm bells went off in her mind.She remembered the way Chris had looked at her earlier. Afraid t

    After Winter and Zion left, the spacious penthouse grew quiet. Only the TV in the living room still played in the background, with laughter and the voices of the show’s guests chatting as they played games drifting through the air.It only made the dining room feel even quieter.After taking off his mask, Chris peeled away the fake scar stuck to the corner of his mouth. Looking at the dishes in front of him, he silently picked up his fork.“Cough...”The spice hit the back of his nose, and he took a bite of rice to steady himself.“Cough...”He took a spoonful of soup.“Cough...”The sky outside had already gone dark. He sat alone at the dining table, coughing from the heat as he kept eating.Little by little, he finished every dish on the table.After dinner, Chris opened a bottle of water and drank it all in one go.Then he took out his phone and saw a message the bodyguards stationed near the neighborhood had sent more than ten minutes earlier.“Mr. Xander, Mrs. Xander a

    Try making them?Was she using him as a guinea pig?“All right, Roy. Go sit on the couch. I’ll call you when the food is ready.”Winter put on an apron and started prepping the ingredients.Roy didn’t leave. Instead, he stood off to the side with his cane, watching her slightly chaotic figure move around the kitchen.Only when the phone in his left pocket buzzed did he finally make his way to the living room and sit down on the couch.He took out his phone. Gavin had sent him a draft of the public clarification.He didn’t read it. A second later, Gavin sent another message.“Mr. Xander, the clarification statement is ready.”Holding the phone in one hand, Chris replied, “Leave the rest until I get back.”“Yes, sir.”Zion went out to the balcony to take a call.Winter was reaching for the jar of chili paste on the upper shelf. They had not used it last time, and Zion had casually put it somewhere that was easy for him to reach, but completely out of reach for her.Just as s
