Chapter 12
In an instant, everyone’s gaze was fixed on the doorway.
Frederic Jacobson and Mora June, who had just flown back from Oteria overnight, looked at their exhausted and dejected son and then at the chaos before them. The worry in their eyes gradually turned into displeasure.
What is going on here?”
The instigator of the mess shuddered at the question.
Zara quickly wiped the expression from her face and adopted a compliant demeanor. “Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Jacobson-”
Seeing her swift change of expression, Yvette scoffed and interrupted her. “Xav brought back a woman with questionable morals. She wants to break up our family.”
“It’s a misunderstanding! Mr. Jacobson, Mrs. Jacobson, I can explain!”
Frederic and Mora stared coldly at the unfamiliar woman for a long time, rendering her speechless.
“Are you Zara Joel?”
Upon hearing Mora’s question, Zara thought Xavion had spoken highly of her in front of his parents, so she immediately confirmed it. “Yes, I’m Zara!”
At this response, Frederic’s face darkened, and without mercy, he ordered, “Escort her out. And from now on, don’t let her in.”
At the command of the head of the household, the maids wasted no time as they quickly and forcefully dragged Zara out.
Xavion, who had been silent for a long time, saw this scene and struggled to stand up.
“Zara is-
A loud slap echoed through the room.
Frederic harshly slapped his son and scolded in disappointment, “I’ve heard about what happened yesterday. You didn’t value your life all because of woman. Xavion, you’re a disgrace! Did you ever think about what would happen if you had drowned? What about your sister? What about your mother? What about our family?
“I’ll tell you this—your mother and I will never allow t
woman to marry into the family! Either you leave the family or sever all ties with her!”
