Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1339
He sat back on his chair. Ill want to hear how Fabian has mistreated Hannah.
Then, Darius looked shocked and stumbled backward. With cold sweat on his forehead, he
stuttered, âHow...did you know who I was referring to?â
The look of disbelief only confirmed Xavier's assumptions that Fabian had done something to
Hannah.
With that in mind, he glared at the other man and warned, âAre you only scared of offending
Fabian? Aren't you afraid of what I can do to you?â
Darius swallowed in fear. Clearing his throat nervously, he repeatedly denied, âNo, no, that is not
what I meant. Mr. Jackson, I..."
In contrast to the face he portrayed, he was actually bursting with joy on the inside. Who the hell
does he think he is? He still got played by me. Yvette was too worried about it. I can't believe she
kept telling me to be careful and not let Xavier see through my act.
Pft! This guy is an idiot. If not for his dad, he would probably be busing dishes in a restaurant.
Yvette's cousin felt proud of himself for making Xavier take the bait. He could not believe that he
managed to fool the president of a big company. I probably can make it to an A-listed actor at this
rate.
With the anxious look on Xavier's face, he thought that it was time to start lying about the story
they made up.
Abruptly, he collapsed to the ground on his knees. He widened his eyes and earnestly pleaded, âMr.
Jackson, are you sure you can protect me?â
"Why? Do you not believe me?â Xavier challenged.
As the successor of the Jackson family, one of the five prominent families, do you think I'll be afraid
of Fabian?
Yvette's cousin continued to look terrified. âIn this case, I'll start from the beginning. It was the
second day after their wedding...â
"What? How could something like that happen? Isn't Fabian going overboard?â
At that point, Xavier was livid, and he slammed his fists onto his desk. Ignoring the throbbing pain in
his hands, he glared at Darius.
The man on his knees was feeling the total opposite of what Xavier felt.
This is great! As long as you stay like this, the more trouble you will make and the more Yvette will
like me. At the end of the day, I'm a wise man, and I'm damn good in bed too. Hahaha!
Although he felt as though he was standing on top of the world, he could not show it on his face.
Otherwise, Xavier might find out and come after him instead.
Giving an innocent expression, he told Xavier, âMr. Jackson...I can't make any decisions. You are
aware that Fabian controls Baykeep, and I'm merely an employee. There is no way I can...â
In response, Xavier roared, âHmph! How powerful can he be? Does he really think that he can
dominate Baykeep and that no one can touch him? Has he taken the other four prominent families
into account?â
His face darkened, and his eyes were shooting such fiery glare that could burn someone alive. He
was obviously very much affected by the taunting.
âMs. Young knows about Fabianâs intervention too. Therefore, she came to me for help. It's
something I ought to help her with for I canât simply throw the responsibility to someone else. But
then again, who am I to stand up against Fabian? Since she knew I could not do anything in my
position, she asked me to look for you to get help.â
He contorted the facts and made it sound convincing. With such a pitiful act, how could he not
believe me?
âI will take over this matter. Meanwhile, you can go back and tell Hannah not to worry. Just leave the
rest to me,â Xavier assured.
