Chapter 1670: Chapter 1670: Opportunity for Fair Competition
Xaviera Evans avoided his burning gaze, feeling a bit bitter in her heart.
Thatās right! No matter how awful Willie Novak had been in the past, when she was in danger, he would do whatever it took to save her. But Caleb Mamet had not contacted her at all.
She lowered her eyes, hiding her desolation.
Willie Novak noticed her change in mood and snorted coldly: "Do you like Caleb that much? Even if he abandoned you, do you still think heās better than me?"
He raised the corner of his lips, his voice deep and hoarse, "Yesterday, I heard that Tianna Winslet suddenly fainted. Caleb has been with her all along by her sickbed, very close and attentive."
With that, he took out his phone and showed her a photo. In it, Tianna Winslet lay in bed, her face pale, desperately holding onto Calebās sleeve while Caleb and the doctor stood nearby, both looking down, their emotions unreadable.
The timestamp showed that the photo was taken right when Xaviera was in danger last night.
"Xaviera, look closely. He doesnāt love you at all. He left you to accompany Tianna Winslet in the Imperial City. The scandal is spreading like wildfire, yet he refuses to explain himself. Itās clear that he has admitted to having a relationship with Tianna!"
Xaviera looked up coldly, "This is our business and has nothing to do with you!"
"Xaviera, I donāt want to force you to like me, but you must stay with me." Willie Novak stared intensely at her, his eyes seemed to hold love and unwillingness.
Xaviera knew that she couldnāt escape, so she covered her face with a blanket and stopped looking at Willie Novak.
"Rest well, I wonāt bother you." Willie Novak spoke softly.
"Willie Novak," Xavieraās tone was laced with mockery, "or should I call you Mr. Heninger of the Brooke family? Can you explain why you arrived so timely last night?"
"I knew I couldnāt hide it from you." Willie Novak smiled, "Unfortunately, you canāt escape. Not only Xavier Hamer, but even Caleb will have a hard time finding you."
Xaviera looked puzzled. With Calebās power, as long as she was still in Libanan, she couldnāt escape the watchful eyes of the shadow guards, unless...
At that moment, the room suddenly shook, and Xaviera realized that she was on a ship!
"Xaviera, Caleb has betrayed you. Iām taking you away from Libanan to live abroad, where I will love you properly." Madness glittered in Willie Novakās eyes.
He had made mistakes in the past that disappointed her deeply, but now that Caleb had betrayed her, he had a fair chance to compete with him.
"Xaviera, your injuries are severe. Donāt think about trying to escape. Iāll have a maid guard the door. Just instruct her if you need anything." Willie Novak walked out of the room after saying his piece.
Xaviera didnāt pay attention; her heart was filled with frustration.
She could feel the cruise ship moving. If it had been traveling since last night, it must have already left Libanan. It would be really difficult for Caleb to find her.
Two more days passed, and during this time, Xaviera stayed in bed to recover. She was attended to by five maids who treated her like a princess.
Willie Novak gave her a phone without a SIM card to pass the time. She felt so bored she thought she might grow moldy.
Her foster brothers must be frantically searching for her since they found out about her disappearance.
She had been kidnapped while searching for Jeffrey Hughes. By now, Jeffrey would have known she was being hunted down. He must be very worried. And Caleb must also know - what would his reaction be?
A feeling of bitterness welled up in Xavieraās heart, but she shook her head. Caleb would never abandon her. Their decade-long relationship was not only as husband and wife but also as siblings and partners. He loved her so much heād give her his own life. How could he suddenly change his heart?
Even if one day he didnāt love her anymore, Caleb would not ignore her. If he hadnāt come to find her yet, there must be a reason he couldnāt.
When Xaviera thought of the photo Willie showed her, she couldnāt help feeling sad. She wiped her cheek and suddenly realized that she had been crying - her pillow was soaked with tears.
Taking a deep breath to regain her composure, she carefully moved her arms and legs. Willie Novak had treated her well, giving her the best medicine, so her wounds had healed. However, her leg was still in a cast, and she couldnāt get out of bed, so she could only close her eyes and think about how to contact the outside world and escape from Willie Novakās cage.
At this time, two days after the incident, Jeffrey Hughes, who hadnāt slept a wink, had bloodshot eyes and looked exhausted and angry. He asked Sam, "Xaviera has disappeared, but where is Caleb?"
