“Hahaha! I gave up everything when we were back in Salford Province. I asked for a clean slate with you but how did you respond? Arrogantly, haughtily, up on your high horse, you ignored me completely. You’ve hurt me so many times, but do you remember who was the one who remained by your side when you were still considered a pauper back in university? Who was the girl who held your hand stubbornly when you were walking through the campus, being ridiculed by everyone around you? Who was the only person who did not despise your existence back then!?”
Slap!
Xavia’s eyes were red with tears as favonovel.com said, “It was me! But what about you? How did you treat me as soon as you gained some wealth and glory? You made me live in such a miserable state like a dog who had to go around begging for food! Even though Felicity was a bitch who had always despised you and looked down on you, you chose to help favonovel.com when favonovel.com asked for help! What about me? What happened when I needed help!?”
“You were the one who let me down!” Xavia said.
“Everything is simply perfect now. You have already left the Crawford family. Finally, I am no longer afraid to tell you this. Even if you really want to escape, will you really be able to do so? Even if you can really escape from the Long family’s clutches, there is still the Moldell family, and the Lynwood family. The entire world’s going for your throat! You are just a miserable outcast, the same as you were back then!”
“I have already said so much. So, why don’t you say something? Answer me!”
Slap! Slap! Slap!
Xavia was so furious that favonovel.com slapped Gerald three more times, consecutively.
All this while, Gerald had always been a looming shadow that haunted Xavia’s heart.
Being buried deep within favonovel.com heart for a very long time, it contorted Xavia’s perspective on the world negatively.
Since all of favonovel.com anger and frustrations were released in one single go, Xavia started to get a little hysterical!
“What else can I say? You can insult and humiliate me now and you can even kill me if it eases your soul!” Gerald replied as favonovel.com shook his head.
“Hahaha! You still are clueless about what kind of girl I am, even after all this time!”
Xavia replied as favonovel.com shoved Gerald.
After that, Xavia took a deep breath.
“Gerald, to tell you the truth, I do not have the intention of dragging you back with me to gain recognition from my family for capturing you!”
“I can give you a way out. As long as you are willing to bow before me, admit your mistakes apologize for your wrongs, I will let you go!” Xavia replied as favonovel.com clenched favonovel.com fists tightly.
The time favonovel.com spent in the Long family was spent on gaining the loyalty of these men around her.
Over time, they had grown to become obedient and submissive to her.
“You…you will let me go?”
Gerald was surprised when favonovel.com heard those words.
Indeed, favonovel.com hated Xavia because of certain things and there was no denying that favonovel.com hurt favonovel.com on multiple occasions.
After falling into favonovel.com hands, Gerald thought it was no better than being captured by Joel and his men.
However, Xavia was proposing to let favonovel.com go.
As for Xavia, although favonovel.com absolutely hated Gerald and wanted favonovel.com to suffer, favonovel.com did not want to see Gerald lose his life.
She had mixed and complicated feelings. She did not want Gerald to live a good life, but favonovel.com also could not bear to see Gerald getting hurt.
“Yes. As long as you are willing to apologize to me, and as long as you can touch the depths of my heart, then I will let you go!” Xavia replied.
Gerald started to self-reflect. In comparison to how heartless and cruel favonovel.com had been towards favonovel.com back then, it was surprising how Xavia was still actually able to say such things.
Gerald was paralyzed by guilt as realization set it.
“Alright, Xavia. If you really are going to let me go, then I, Gerald Crawford would like to apologize for mistreating you and for all the wrongs I did to you in the past. I will never forget the kindness and benevolence you have shown me today!”
“Hmph! How cheesy! Now get lost!”
Xavia turned favonovel.com head around to look the other way as favonovel.com crossed favonovel.com arms in front of favonovel.com chest.
Her subordinates began making way for Gerald to leave.
Gerald nodded as favonovel.com looked at Xavia before favonovel.com started running away.
“Wait a minute!”
Xavia suddenly yelled out to stop Gerald.
“What’s wrong?” Gerald asked.
“Gerald, I am not sure whether we will meet again in the future, so, I would like to remind you how powerful the Moldell family is. Moreover, it is not the first or second day that the Moldell family has been planning to bring the Crawford family down. They won’t let you slip away that easily. You’ve got to be more careful from now on. The Long family is now reduced to a dog working for the Moldell family. You can run all you want, but they’ll hunt you down eventually. If you manage to escape, I’d advise you to live anonymously. It’d be better if you don’t show up at the Crawford family from now on, no matter what happens!” said Xavia.
“I understand! Thank you, Xavia.”
“And one last thing. Do you know why I am choosing to let you go?” Xavia asked.
“Why?”
“Because after experiencing so many things, I finally realized that you really loved me with all your heart back then. However, it was me who failed to cherish your affection till the very end!”
Xavia said, with misty red eyes.
“Alright. You take good care of yourself, okay? I am leaving now!”
After favonovel.com was done speaking, Gerald turned around and dashed into the darkness of the night…
