Chapter 170 You Cannot Just Burn A Six-thousand-bucks Pair Of Shoesnovelbin
Bianca saw that the man standing outside was Xavier Tanner.
This indirectly shows that Xavier went back and forth in the theater and went back to the VIP Hall tolook for her, to no avail.
In a fit of rage, the man came to intercept her.
He had watched his lawfully wedded wife cuckooed him with another man right under his nose. Yet, hemissed out on the golden opportunity to catch them red-handed.
At this moment, as the husband, the entire ordeal must be unspeakably unbearable, even though itmight be a loveless marriage between the two- there was not even one-tenth of love in their marriage.
In truth, Bianca did not think it was considered cheating to visit the father of her child. However, inXavier's eyes, seeing Luke kissing her was directly tantamount to cheating.
"Bea, is he your friend?' Nina stood at the door awkwardly. Based on the look Xavier gave Bianca, Ninaassumed that there was a high probability that Bianca knew this man.
Bianca answered Nina with silence.
Nina could not help thinking that she would know Bianca's friends within the country too. As for newcolleagues that Bianca just got to know in the company, she probably knew them better than Bianca.
Among those people, the man outside the door was never part of any of those groups.
The only possible explanation was that this man was someone whom Bianca knew when she wasstudying abroad. Now, both of them returned to their home country and remained in contact...
However, based on the expression on the man's face as he stood outside the door, Nina felt that theman's relationship with Bianca could be more complex than merely being ordinary friends.
"Would... Would you like to come in and have a seat?" Nina said.
Xavier did not pay Nina any attention as she stood waiting in front of the door. Yet, his eyes wereburning with a murderous glare as he shifted his gaze at the little white pair of women's shoes on theshoe rack at the door.
The ambiguously flirty scene that he witnessed in the VIP Hall suddenly reappeared in his mind.
"Come in. Coincidentally, I have something to tell you, too," Bianca said coldly. Then, she turnedaround to the kitchen to fetch some cups and poured them two cups of water.
After exiting the kitchen, Bianca put the two cups of water on the tea table.
Nina left her position at the door since the man had already passed through the door. The man was tallwith long legs, and he carried himself rather well too.
Yet, when compared to the big boss, this man somewhat lacked the sophistication of the bourgeoisie.Instead, he emanated a roguish ruthlessness.
It felt like a suit was draped over his body like a sheepskin that was brutally draped over a wolf's body.
"Here are your slippers." Nina helped to retrieve a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet.
When Xavier lowered his head to change into the slippers, he frowned. He was surprised at the size ofthis pair of men's slippers.
Nina did not know the man's identity, so she kindly explained, "These slippers belong to Bea’sgrandfather. You can make do with them first."
Hearing that this pair of men's slippers belonged to Bianca's grandfather, Xavier put them on without asecond thought.
All three of them stood awkwardly in the living room.
Nina always felt that the atmosphere between Xavier and Bianca was strange. Having a hunch thatthey had a secret to share, Nina said to Bianca self-consciously, "I'll head off to my bedroom and surfthe Internet. Holler if you need anything.”
Bianca nodded.
With Nina here, Bianca was courageous enough to let Xavier into the house. Otherwise, she wouldnever meet a person who took the law for granted in private.
What Bianca was truly thinking was that if Nina found out who was outside the door from the peepholefirst, she would never have let Nina open the door.
Let Xavier ring the doorbell until night, and still, she would not open the door.
There were only two people left in the living room, but Xavier did not sit down. Instead, he went directlyto the shoe cabinet and took out the white pair of women's shoes.
Looking at it repeatedly, he walked to the kitchen with the pair of white shoes in his left hand.
"What are you doing with my shoes? Put them down." Bianca followed after him into the kitchen,baffled as to what he was planning to do.
Xavier turned on the gas valve. As he stared at the flames on the gas stove grew redder by the second,he simply threw the pair of petite white shoes on the burning stove.
Bianca wanted to snatch her shoes from the fire, but her strength and height could not compare toXavier's. She would not be able to get them back even if she used up all her strength to tear him away.
As a button on Xavier's shirt was torn off by her, the shoes were already scorched by the fire.
’If you’re having a mental attack, go to the hospital and get your prescription..." muttered Bianca inincredible disbelief.
Using the internet as a mere excuse, Nina simply stuck her ear to the door due to boredom. That manlooked terrifying. What would happen if he took advantage of Bianca?
As Bianca's best friend, she must be alert at all times!
Now, as she listened to Bianca's burst of anger, Nina ran out of her bedroom immediately. Seeing thatthere was no one in the living room, she immediately headed to the kitchen.
After assessing what was happening in the kitchen, Nina quickly turned off the gas and looked at thepair of sneakers that got burned out of shape. Having no better ideas, she retrieved a basin of waterand poured water on it.
The fire was completely extinguished.
However, the kitchen was filled with a strange burnt smell.
After opening the windows for ventilation purposes, Nina looked back at Xavier in horror. What theheck, did this man suffer from some kind of brain damage?!
’It seems like I’ve overestimated your personality. I must be out of my mind to think that I could talkthings out with you.’ Bianca was so angry that she wanted to slap herself.
Xavier closed in on Bianca with a horrifyingly dark expression.
Nina, who stood by the window, strode over and wedged herself in front of Bianca. She looked up atXavier and said, "Stop fooling around. This is a society ruled by law. Voice out your problem. You can’tjust burn a six- thousand-bucks pair of shoes. What's wrong with you? You're not just apologizing toBea; you have to compensate her too!”
Xavier did not listen carefully to a single word Nina said.
Looking at Bianca behind Nina, Xavier glared at her in an amber coldness. " You'd better uphold yourduty as a wife. Otherwise, don't blame me for what happens next!" "That's all you can do? Kidnap mygrandfather and threaten me again? You wanted me to marry you the first time. What is it this time?Sleep with you or give you a child?’ Bianca felt that she was born a human being, and she was in noway inferior to others. She did not have to be subjected to this kind of control.
However, Xavier was a man who has a criminal record and had gone to prison before. He was the kindwho would do everything his way. Nobody could afford to provoke him unless they no longer valuedtheir own lives. Bianca wanted very much to have that fearless boldness too. She wanted people tofear her, too, instead of always being the scared one.
She used to hold back for her father and grandfather. Now, she had Lanie and Rainie to worry abouttoo.
When could she ever break the cycle?
Wedged in between the two, Nina was slightly confused...
She recalled the last time they drank when Sue said that Bianca was married. Nina had a suddenepiphany-this man kidnapped Bianca's grandfather and threatened Bianca?
"You're the one who hurt Bea's grandfather? Scum, do you any shred of humanity? Bea's grandfatheris so old. Don’t you have parents and grandfathers?" Nina did not know what kind of pervert Bianca
had met.
Xavier, however, was very rational. Instead of giving anyone a chance to have something on him-orrecord what he said-he took out his mobile phone and started audio recording. ’Repeat what you justsaid." ’I'm not scared of you! I'll say whatever I want!" Nina repeated her words straight away.
Xavier recorded Nina's words and put away his mobile phone.
"What goes on between US stays between US. You keep everyone else out of this. I'll get aprofessional lawyer to solve the issue with our divorce," Bianca said decisively.
She was not sure of Xavier's personality. Even though she knew that he was shameless, she only knewone side of that. As for how shameless he could be, Bianca could not tell for sure.
