Chapter 111

Chapter 111“Are you saying that I’m not worthy of you?” Xavier questioned.
“What do you think?” Josephine retorted.
All of a sudden, he gave a self-derisive laugh. “Yes, I’m not worthy of you with my lowly status. But why
would you rather date someone who had been to prison instead of giving me a chance? Am I even
lowlier than an ex-convict?”
He abruptly became emotional, and his tone turned harsh.
Upon hearing that, Josephine frowned. “Whomever I date has nothing to do with you, and you don’t
have the right to question me about that.”
“Do you know the kind of person Kai is? Not only is he an ex-convict, but he’s also a Lothario! Do you
know that he already has a girlfriend? You’ve been duped!”
As Xavier spoke, he fished out his phone and showed her the photos of Kai with Hilda.
Josephine stared at the photos, her expression turning increasingly grim until her brows scrunched
deeply.
Xavier inwardly crowed with delight when he glimpsed her expression and immediately added fuel to
the fire, saying, “This girl is known as Hilda Wallace, and she’s his girlfriend. They’re childhood
sweethearts and are now colleagues at Sentiment Chemical Limited. It was even him who
recommended her to work there!”
Josephine said nothing, merely staring at the two people in the photo silently.
“My feelings for you are genuine, Josephine. I’ll never dupe you. What’s so great about him? How is he
better than me?”Xavier continued pouring out his heart to her.
Slap!
Just a moment after he had finished speaking, Josephine slapped him across the face hard without
warning.
novelbinThat blow blindsided Xavier, and he gaped at her incredulously. He could not fathom why she struck
him.
“How dare you take photos of Kai secretly? Did you think that I’ll accept you by doing so? You’re
wrong. You’re so very wrong! I believe that he’ll never dupe me, and you don’t need to come to me with
these photos either! You wanted to know how he’s better than you, didn’t you? Fine, I’ll enlighten you—
you can’t even hold a candle to him!”
With that said, Josephine shouldered her bag before she got to her feet and left.
As Xavier rubbed his cheek that had turned bright red from the slap, a terrifyingly vicious glint entered
his eyes.
“You’re forcing my hand, Josephine! You drove me to this!” he hissed through gritted teeth, enunciating
every single word.
When Josephine had exited the restaurant, her brows creased once more.
Although she claimed to believe Kai and did not care about the photos in the least, she had long gone
on the warpath upon seeing them.
Women were enviers, so she could not possibly be unfazed at the sight of her man acting so intimate
with another woman.Taking out her phone, she called Kai straight away. She had been searching for the medicinal herbs in
the past few days, so she had not contacted him. Never had she expected him to hook up with another
woman behind her back.
At that precise moment, Kai was having lunch with Hilda and Maria. Due to the short lunch break, they
could only eat at a roadside stall near the office.
When he saw it was a phone call from Josephine, he promptly got up and went to the side to take the
call.
“Where are you?” Josephine demanded, cutting straight to the chase.
“I-I’m at home!”
Kai did not want her to know that he was presently working at her company. Besides, he was not
planning to work there for long and would resign after gathering all the herbs and finding the spiritual
brush to restore his mother’s eyesight.
That was because he wanted to focus on training as the fifteenth of July was drawing ever closer. If his
capabilities did not reach the required standard, he would not be able to go to Nameless Island.
Hearing his answer, Josephine tried her best to suppress the fury blazing within her. “At home? Okay,
stay at home then!”
After saying that, she hung up on him.
