CHAPTER 888: CHAPTER 888: A BIT LIKE AN INTERROGATION

Even if she was going to die, Rhiannon Xavier knew that Old Mr. Downey had excellent medical skills, and just now there were dozens of traditional Chinese medicines spread out on the table, filling the room with the fragrance of herbs.

After leaving, she hid in a secluded spot, picked up her phone, and dialed an international number. After a moment, she whispered to the person on the other end—

"I won’t be coming over for a while, can you handle things there? Don’t wait for me."

"Huh? Didn’t you say you were buying a ticket tonight?" The other person asked in surprise and concern, "Did something happen?"

"Nothing’s wrong with me, it’s just... something urgent has come up at home. Once I handle it, I’ll come over." She didn’t disclose details, "Bye." and hung up directly.

In any case, as long as the woman brought back isn’t leaving, she won’t leave the Xavier Family. She needs to stay and keep watch.

How could someone try to compete with her for affection?

Everything she now had, she had worked very hard to achieve. She had read many books, learned the ways of living in a wealthy family, and spent a lot of time studying Mr. and Mrs. Xavier’s personalities.

The second thing she did after finishing the call was to head to the kitchen and find the two servants who were fishing.

"Hello, Miss." The two servants greeted her warmly, both with smiles, thinking she was going to give them a bonus.

Tod ay they had saved a young woman, and Mr. and Mrs. Xavier, as well as the young master, had all given them bonuses, as such charitable acts were encouraged and praised in the Xavier Family.

But Rhiannon Xavier came empty-handed. Not seeing the Xavier Family members upon entering, the smile on her face faded.

In the bright light, everyone met eyes.

The two servants felt a different atmosphere and exchanged puzzled looks, then looked at her together, "Miss Xavier, this is..."

It felt a bit like she was going to inquire about a wrongdoing.

Sure enough, she started by saying—

"Don’t bring strangers into the house again in the future."

Rhiannon Xavier looked serious, then sighed softly—

"This time, Mr. and Mrs. Xavier didn’t say anything, but think about it, after all, she’s a stranger. The Xavier Estate usually has strict security, and who knows if someone is plotting something."

She continued, "The Xavier Family is thriving so well in Jadepoint, it’s bound to attract jealousy."

With her words, the matter seemed to gain gravity.

The two middle-aged men, who only knew how to fish, felt a heavy thud in their hearts and exchanged another glance, suddenly panicking, "At the time... we didn’t think that much."

"Now that I’ve reminded you, you understand?" Rhiannon Xavier’s tone was gentle, without blame.

The two lowered their heads, "Understood, thank you for the reminder, Miss."

Looking at them, Rhiannon Xavier turned and left, feeling quite frustrated, having brought back such a troublesome thing!

The Xavier Estate at night had its own unique charm, the biggest difference from the urban area was—

In the darkness, you could see the stars above.

At this moment, Nathan Xavier stood alone in the darkened back garden, leaning against a rockery, hands in his pockets, looking up at the glittering starry sky.

The old locust tree nearby rustled its branches and leaves in the gentle evening breeze, scattering small white flowers.

Staring at the bright moon, his thoughts seemed to wander away.

Not far away, Rhiannon Xavier stopped in her tracks, just watching his profile, his surroundings seemingly enveloped in a moist night mist, the line of his chin as noble as European aristocracy.

Once again, she was captivated by her brother. In the night air, with the gentle breeze, she seemed to catch a faint scent emanating from him.

Unable to resist approaching, she wore a smile, "Brother." Her voice was sweet.
