Zavier flicked away the cigarette ash nonchalantly, took another puff and said, "You can go now. I've already asked someone to invite Skyler for dinner."
"Zavier, have you lost your humanity?" The mention of Skyler made Cornelia lose her cool, and she slammed her hand on the table, "Even though Skyler left you, she's still your wife. She carried your child. Why can't you let her be?"
Zavier's eyes darkened, "So you do remember she's my wife? I thought you'd forgotten. If you know, then why are you meddling in our business?"
"So, I should just stand by and watch her walk to her death?" Cornelia shuddered at the memory of Skyler's miscarriage, feeling suffocated every time it crossed her mind, "Zavier, have you forgotten what happened on New Year's Day? Skyler nearly died. Do you want to watch her die before you'll be satisfied?"
"Whether she lives or dies, I don't care. All I know is that she belongs to me and no one else can take her away." Zavier finished off a cigarette in one go, lit another one and started blowing smoke rings.
The sight of Skyler lying in a pool of blood on New Year's Day was something Zavier would never forget. It still ached his heart to think about it and that was why he couldn't bring himself to approach her easily.
What he couldn't understand was why Skyler had approached him first, why she had forced him to marry her using various tactics. He had gone against his family to marry her, and had invested both money and man-power to help her family get back on their feet.
He had always thought that Skyler loved him, never suspecting that she was just using him. Once her goals were achieved and he was of no use to her, she couldn't wait to leave him. To be able to leave him, she had even cruelly caused their child's miscarriage.
What did she take him for? Was he just a disposable tool to her?
