Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 914 Extra Story 52 Of Aaron Accident

It seemed that Ximena wasn't going to take the bait. Zoey stayed quiet for a moment to think and then she said, "During these past few days Vivi did..."

"It's none of my business," Ximena said, interrupting her while turning the page.

Zoey's chest heaved with anger. She glared at Ximena and blamed her, "How dare you say that! You took my brother and stole Vivi's lover..."

"What did I steal from her? Is Aaron cargo? A thing that I can take away easily when I wanted to?" Ximena cut her off before she had time to finish her sentence and scorned coldly. "When a dog barks, it knows what for. But why do you lack the ability of self-evaluation?" "Shut up!" Zoey roared with hot rage. She raised her hand to slap Ximena, but she didn't notice the maid standing close by with a tray of tea in her hands. Consequently, she knocked the tray out of the maid's hand, sending the fine China cup and saucers smashing onto the floor. "Oh! I'm so sorry, my dear lady..."

"Do you want to die?" Zoey was already in a foul mood because of Ximena when she came in, but now she was feeling murderous with rage.

"It's all my fault. I'm truly sorry for that..." The maid's face was pale, and she trembled with fear. Her shoulders shrank down, and her head was bowed to the ground submissively.

Ximena sat silently choosing not to get involved as she sipped at the juice and watched Zoey throw a tantrum.

Not everyone was willing to put up with other's fury, but when one was working for that other, one had to. Even though the maid did nothing wrong, she would still have to bear the brunt of Zoey's wrath. And if Ximena tried to defend the maid, it would only have made it worse for the maid in the coming days. Zoey was a vindictive woman, and she was bound to seek revenge and punish the poor servant for it.

After some time, the maid had finally picked up all of the broken pieces and left in tears after being verbally abused by Zoey.

Ximena put the empty glass down on the table and made her way to the stairs.

"Stay there, Ximena! Don't you dare go away!"

Ximena kept on walking and completely ignored the raging Zoey behind her. Zoey quickly strode in front of her, blocking Ximena from going any further.

"I still have some words to say to you!"

"It's not my duty to listen to you," Ximena said with aloofness, and her face showed arrogant apathy. "Get out of the way."

Zoey didn't care about having a conversation with Ximena. She came here for one purpose only. "Ximena, how much money do you need to leave my brother?"

Ximena thought it was absurd what Zoey was asking of her. They both knew what kind of person Aaron was. Whether Ximena could leave him, didn't depend on what she thought. "If the Leng's Corporations are mine, I will leave him," Ximena mocked.

Zoey stood wide-eyed and gaped speechlessly in shock. After a few moments, she managed to say, "How cheeky you are!"

"Yes, I have always been shameless," Ximena said, narrowing her eyes at Zoey. "How could I be fucked by your brother if I had any shame?" Then Ximena bypassed Zoey and casually ascended the stairs.

As she climbed the stairs, she thought to herself, 'I have my own affairs to deal with. I don't have the time or the patience to deal with a fool like Zoey. It is horrible enough when a woman is air-headed. And it's worse when a stupid woman thinks high of herself. And Zoey is clearly the latter.'

Ximena paused for a moment and then turned to face Zoey. "Don't come to see me again.

The woman that you need to contact is Vivi," she said casually. Ximena sighed slightly. "You know your brother well. I believe you will have more success if you plead with your brother to let me go, rather than coming here and threatening me." With these words, Ximena turned and went up the stairs.

Zoey stood rooted to the spot, not knowing what to say, as she watched Ximena climb the stairs.

When Ximena's figure vanished from her sight, she stamped her foot disgruntled. 'What I had planned before has become useless now,' she thought resentfully.

"Miss Song..." called a trembling voice as the maid came with a tray of freshly brewed scented tea. "The drink that you asked for is ready."

Zoey was in no mood for scented tea. She glanced back at the maid. "I don't want it now! You behaved with neither decorum nor intellect, and you'll be fired by my brother!" After saying that, Zoey left in a huff.

The maid stood silently, holding the tray feeling pitiful and woeful.

She bowed her head, and her eyes were filled with bitter tears.

"Her words don't count!" Ximena realized that she had forgotten her notebook, and as she went back downstairs, she overheard what Zoey had said to the maid.

The maid obviously doubted Ximena's words and observed her through teary eyes.

Ximena glanced at her without saying anything more and planned to go back upstairs after retrieving her notebook.

"Miss Mo..." The maid looked at Ximena with hope in her eyes. She didn't want to lose this well-paid job, even though she always felt fear and anxiety while she worked for His Highness.

Ximena walked away and said detached of any emotions, "You have the right to quit if you don't like working here."

"No! I never meant that... It's my honor to work for you and His Highness, and I always enjoy working here..."

The words coming from the maid sounded desperate and urgent, but Ximena didn't reply. Instead, she went back to her room.

The staff who were hired to work in the villa were carefully chosen. It would make no difference if Zoey said a few bad words about her. Besides, Aaron had no time to deal with such trivial things.

In the Corruption Investigation Division of Justice Bureau

"Chief! Chief!" A staff member dressed in a black suit rushed into the office calling out in a frightened voice. "Claude Li has suddenly lost consciousness!"

"What?" The chief stared at the staff member, perplexed.

The staff member's face was pale, and he spoke quickly, "Claude gagged all of a sudden during the interrogation, and then he started foaming at the mouth and collapsed..." The chief stood stunned for a moment and then shouted, "Why did you tell me first? You damned fool! Call an ambulance!

Right now!"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
