Chapter 468 A Wise Surrender Is Better Relentless Persistence
Xavia’s tightly wound string of composure instantly snapped.
“You saw the surveillance footage, so you should know the truth! The robbers rejected me because of my
pregnancy and shifted their sights to Chloe! What’s wrong with that?!” she exclaimed.
“Did the robber discover your pregnancy or did you voluntarily disclose it?”
Given their slender frames, Xavia and Chloe could easily conceal their pregnancies, even at three months,
especially when wearing loose clothing.
She staggered, almost losing her balance. “So what? In the face of life and death, I want to live. Is there anything
wrong with wanting to keep the baby in my belly alive? Besides, Chloe isn’t that noble either.”
Megan chimed in, “Exactly. Their relationship was already strained. You expect her to sacrifice herself for Chloe’s
sake?”
Joseph remained calm. “It’s true that Chloe isn’t particularly noble, but she didn’t push someone into the way just to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsave herself.”
“I have a child in my womb, which means two lives at stake!” Xavia uttered these words through gritted teeth, her
pale face showing a hint of redness from her intense emotions.
“That’s not an excuse,” Joseph stated firmly. He locked eyes with Xavia and continued, Whose life isn’t a life?”
||
Xavia’s face turned ashen, and she sneered bitterly. “Joseph, you’ve truly hurt me. This is your child-your own flesh
and blood. And yet, because of Chloe, you do not care for us in the slightest?”
”
“Don’t bother with the moral manipulation. My moral compass has always been weak,’ Joseph responded, his eyes
reflecting an unwavering resolve. In their depths, a calmness resided, giving off an unsettling chill.
Megan fell silent for a moment, hesitant to confront Joseph directly. She murmured, Regardless of the
circumstances, the child is what’s most important. It’s the only Whitman child at the moment.”
Her statement was not unfounded. The child was undeniably important. However, the crucial aspect was that its
paternity had not been confirmed, and moreover, Joseph felt no
attachment to Xavia.
He cast a cold gaze in her direction and responded curtly, “Are you trying to force me to utter even harsher
words?”
Megan choked on her words, her frustration evident. She muttered in frustration, “You have
1/2
no idea how to cherish a good woman. Xavia has been by your side for five long years. Even a heart of stone
would’ve softened by now.”
Joseph’s smile widened, his expression laced with mockery. “It has been five years, and yet, I failed to see her true
colors.”
If it had not been for Gabriel, Joseph would still be in the dark. Gabriel made the difficult. decision to unveil the truth
after a period of internal conflict. He was afraid that Joseph would not believe him, which could potentially strain
their brotherly bond.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmXavia dug into her plan with her fingertips as she averted her gaze. “Fine. If that’s how you want it, let’s not see
each other for the next two months.”
Megan was taken aback and quickly tried to reason with her. “Don’t be rash. Your health isn’t in the best condition,
and this is a crucial time for you and the baby. You need someone to take care of you, especially now.”
Xavia looked at Joseph with a desperate expression in her eyes. “Take care of me? In the past five years, or even
these three months, when has he ever taken care of me? Let’s just forget about everything.”
After uttering those words, she straightened her collar and turned to walk away. Her figure, delicate and fragile,
appeared as though a gust of wind could easily sweep her away. With one hand cradling her waist and the other
clutching her bag, she appeared somewhat forlorn.
Joseph’s expression remained unreadable, his gaze distant and indifferent.
Megan hurriedly caught up with Xavia, finding it difficult to comprehend. “Are you giving up so easily? Are you truly
not going to see Joseph for two whole months?”
A trace of malice appeared in Xavia’s eyes. “A wise surrender is better than relentless persistence.”
“But we can’t just let them have their way.”
That despicable Chloe had snatched away the endorsement opportunity that Megan had been longing for. To be
frank, if Xavia had not exacted revenge on Chloe, she too would refuse to let Chloe have an easy life.
Xavia glanced at Megan and asked, “Do you have any good ideas?”
