Chapter 18
As soon as she entered the door, she saw the colleague who helped her deliver the wine lying on the
ground with a bruised face. It seemed that he had been beaten up heavily.
"It's her. She asked me to deliver the wine for her. I didn't know there was anything wrong with the
wine."
The person pointed at Arya and couldn't speak clearly probably because his face was swollen.
Arya seemed to know what was going on.
She looked up at Sunny, who stood beside the manager, and lowered her head.
On the sofa, Xavier leaned casually against the sofa. His long legs overlapped in an elegant way.
He did not take one more look at her.
"Yesterday, did you send the wine to room 88?" The manager asked.
Arya nodded. "It's me."
She pointed to her colleague on the ground. "This has nothing to do with him. I did ask him to send it in
for me."
She didn't expect things to go this far and implicate this colleague.
"Did you put the drug in the wine?" The manager said again.
Thinking of what she saw that day, she subconsciously looked at Sunny.
Sunny was also looking at her.
Although she didn't speak, her eyes were pleading.
It was a small thing whether she could keep her job or not. The point was that the foreman might not be
able to survive from this.
Sunny also understood that if Arya was to bear the responsibility for her, Arya might not be able to be
safe.
There must be someone to take responsibility for this.
She made it herself, and she couldn't escape.
She took a deep breath and walked forward. "That day was me..."
"It was me. I put the medicine in the wine that day."
Arya quickly interrupted the foreman.
The foreman treated her well from the moment she came here. She didn't know why she did that.
But she knew the seriousness of the matter.
After all, she knew Xavier, maybe Xavier could forgive her.
If it was the foreman, she might not be able to escape.
The foreman was stunned and looked at Arya in disbelief. "Do you know what you're talking about?"
"I know." Arya answered affirmatively.
"Very good. How dare you!"
The manager stood up angrily.
He said to the door, "Take her away!"
Soon the door was pushed open and two tall men came in to catch Arya.
Arya was scared.
"Wait." Just as the two of them were about to touch Arya, Xavier opened his mouth.
He stood up and walked slowly to Arya, looking down at her. "I'll give you a chance to explain."
"There's nothing to explain." Arya and Xavier looked at each other.
She didn't dodge.
Xavier narrowed his eyes to hide the dangerous light.
He gently raised a smile. "What's it for?"
Arya was a little scared. She didn't know Xavier well, but now she couldn't back down. She swallowed
her saliva and pretended to be calm. "I think Mr. Jones is rich and good-looking. So I want to seduce
you..."
"Are you f*cking insane?"
The manager was angrier than Xavier.
After scolding her, the manager apologized to Xavier politely. "I didn't discipline my employees well.
Sorry for what happened. Mr. Jones, don't worry. I will teach this shameless woman a good lesson."
Xavier patted the manager on the shoulder with a cold smile. "I don't have the habit of punishing people
who offended me."
"Then..."
"Jacob, take her away."
After that, Xavier walked away.
Sunny panicked when she heard that Arya was going to be taken away. Afraid that something might
happen to her, she went up to the manager and said, "She... she didn't mean to do it. Can you please
tell Mr. Jones to forgive her this time?"
The manager glared at her and said angrily, "Who is Mr. Jones? If she dares to plot against him, she
deserves to be punished." Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
"Manager..." Sunny kept begging him.
The manager said coldly, "If you say one more word, you'll be fired."
Arya shook her head at her and told her not to beg again.
She was willing to bear any punishment.
It was very gratifying to see Sunny pleading for her.
When she was sentenced to prison, no one believed her, and no one was willing to plead for her.
She had to suffer everything miserably.
"Let's go." Jacob had long recognized the woman was the one who appeared in his boss's villa.
Arya asked Sunny to take the injured colleague to the hospital before leaving.
She was sent to the villa where she once came.
But Xavier never showed up.
She curled up beside the sofa, not knowing what Xavier would do to her.
She was nervous, and she did not know if Xavier would punish her.
It felt like she was waiting for a trial.
It was terrible.
Arya didn't get a drop of water all day until late at night.
Then the door of the villa opened.
Xavier walked in and didn't see anyone. He frowned, pulled off his tie, and threw it on the sofa. Then he
saw the woman sleeping beside the sofa.
He sat down on the sofa and looked at her quietly...
