Chapter 1098
Iris couldnât catch his drift, just kept a poker face, afraid of voicing out her thoughts.
She feared heâd be like her family, prying into her real feelings, then mercilessly crushing her dreams, trying to mold her into a mere tool
She didnât respond, but Zavier had already read between the lines, âYou wanna go back to your folks?â
Iris shook her head, very firmly, âNo way!â
She knew that if Zavier sent her back, she wouldnât only be unable to keep schooling, but her parents would write her off as useless, and God knew what future theyâd set up for her if she wanted to dodge that bullet, she had to run away from that family first
Zavier looked at her, âI can tell, you donât wanna. You donât wanna go home, you donât wanna live with me, then what the hell do you wanna do?â
Ins wanted to pull the wool over his eyes, but Zavier cut her off before she could even spit it out, âDonât even try to con me. I can see through your little schemes.
Since she couldnât fool him, she had to spill the beans.
Ins gritted her teeth, and honestly confessed, âI want to go to school, I donât want to be controlled by them anymore, and I donât want to be raised into a woman who only knows how to cater to menâ
Zavier smirked, âWell, you do have something in common with your sister. Marcell
The bodyguard came over, âMr Rivera, your orders?â
Zavier asked. âDid you get the urn?â
Marcel answered, âThe um is on the way, itâll be here any minute.
Zavier continued, âWhen it arrives, bring it to me. I want to take Skyler home with me.â
Marcel responded, âYes, sir.â
Zavier glanced at Iris again, âTake her back to the Capital, get her into the best school, and let her continue her studies.â
Marcel replied, âYes, sir.â
Iris couldnât believe her ears. âAre you really gonna send me to school?â
Zavier said, Iâm not a good guy, just in a good mood and willing to let you off. Cherish this chance. Get out of here before I change my mind, I donât want to see you againâ
Marcel said, âIns, follow me.â
Iris followed the bodyguard a few steps, then looked back at Zavier, âMr. Rivera, thank you!â
Zavier chuckled.
This little girl knew how to play her cards right, even better than Skyler.
In a short while, Marcel came back, âMr. Rivera, the urn has arrived. President Dixon and Lucas are here too, you want to see them?â
Zavier took the um, squatted down, and started to gather the ashes into the box, âWho invited them? What are they doing here at this time? Are they here to laugh at
me?â
Marcel asked, âSo, do you want to see them?â
Zawier responded, âNo! Send them awayâ
Marcel answered, âYes, sir.â
After Marcel left, Zavier continued to carefully gather the ashes, âSkyler, Iâm taking you home now. Be a good girl when you get home, donât go anywhere else ever againâ
While doing this, he paused. A few seconds later, he threw the urn away and started to laugh like a madman, âSkyler, you really wanted to help Marcus that much? Whatâs so good about Marcus compared to me?â
No one answered.
He pulled out his phone, and dialed a number, âI accept your invitation. Iâll join you guys to fight Marcus with everything Iâve got! If he doesnât die, then I will!â
