Chapter 430: It’s Certainly Not Easy for Him to Kill Me
As Yigol Mamet’s eyes filled with hot tears, Xaviera Evans thought that Caleb Mamet must have bullied him. She immediately lost her temper, “Caleb Mamet is really too much! You are his brother after all, how could he bully you till you cried? What on earth did he say to you? Did he hit you, but you’re too scared to admit it? Did he cause any serious injury? Don’t be afraid of him. You shouldn’t just take it lying down when he bullies you, hit him back!”
Hearing Xaviera’s indignation, Yigol looked at her with sadness in his eyes. His lips quivered slightly, “Xaviera, whatever you do, don’t dare to provoke him. I’m a living example!”
Looking at him, Xaviera was full of sympathy, “Caleb is always bullying you. You’ve been oppressed for so many years, why do you still love this brother so much? Why would you enjoy being abused?”
Yigol wiped his tears, feeling aggrieved, “In fact, he’s not that strong. I only kind of submit to him. Even though he can knock me down with a punch, killing me is not an easy task for him. After all…..”
Xaviera quickly asked, “What?”
With a deep look in his eyes, Yigol said to her, “After all, murder is illegal. He can’t kill me.”
Xaviera:
Yigol: “Even if I fight back, I definitely can’t beat Caleb. This is a conclusion I’ve drawn from many bloody lessons. Also, if I resist, it will provoke even more violent retaliation from Caleb. So, it’s better to just let him beat me. After all, I’m his brother. He can’t kill me, at least, I can keep my life.”
Xaviera: He’s really a wise guy!
On the way back, Yigol remained sullen. After they returned to Site 29, people around them gathered gradually.
“Didn’t Zara Woods just say she was going to quit? Then why did she return to Design Site 1? If she doesn’t want to quit, then she shouldn’t have said such things. She’s feeling too full of herself!”
“She was just saying that. She won’t really quit. After all, she’s the most hopeful contender for the championship!”
Curious, Xenia Jaak approached Xaviera, “Xaviera, I heard the President of ZR called you?”
Immediately, everyone pricked up their ears and also asked curiously, “Yeah! Why did the ZR President ask you to stay? Do you know him? What does he look like? I heard he’s hard to approach!”
Xaviera: “Uhm…”
Xenia pulls Xaviera to a corner with a low voice, “Xaviera! You’re really something! The ZR President has always been secretive and has never invited any designer to meet him alone. He actually helped you check the surveillance and also invited you to his office. Do you two have…”
Xaviera didn’t know how to explain so she just awkwardly laughed.
Xenia suddenly realized, “I understand now! Don’t worry, I won’t tell Mr. Caleb Mamet. You’re already married, there’s no way you would have any designs on the ZR President. Right?”
Xaviera made a stressed face, “Well…Don’t get me wrong, actually…”
Before she had a chance to finish, she heard a few girls whispering, “If the ZR President took a liking to her, she would instantly be on top. There’s no need to compete here anymore, she could sit directly on the judges’ panel. Half of the kingdom of the design industry would be hers, why bother competing?”
“But I heard that the ZR President doesn’t like women. Is he really interested in Xaviera? Although Xaviera is gorgeous, there are many other beautiful women. How could the ZR President take a liking to a newcomer?”
“I also find it strange that the President, who generally keeps his distance from women, suddenly likes a woman. It feels off!”
Excited, Xenia said, “Xaviera! Everyone is curious. What’s your relationship with the ZR President? Does he really like you?”
Before Xaviera could respond, the assistant of Caleb Mamet arrived, carrying an expensive men’s watch and a cup of hot latte.
As soon as the assistant appeared, everyone stared with bated breath.
“Wow, that latte must be for Xaviera!”
“I’m so envious. Once you gain the favor of the ZR President, you don’t have to struggle for the rest of your life. From Cinderella to a wealthy wife, the events in the novel have actually become reality.”
Seeing the situation, Xenia pushed Xaviera, “Quickly go and accept it, Xaviera! This is the ZR President’s affection for you!”
