Meanwhile, at the cafeteria entrance. It was the first time that Xavier‘s action upset Zeta a
little. She asked, “Why are you so against her?”
Then, she uttered, “You haven‘t told me. How did you meet her?”
Xavier sneered, “You just have to know one thing. This kind of woman isn‘t simple. You should stay away
from her.”
He did not really want to tell her much about Weston.
Zeta was very pure. All she did from childhood to adulthood was study. When she grew up, she went
straight to work in the hospital. She was dedicated to her work and had a simple private life. It was
inappropriate to share these with her.
Zeta gave him a rare scowl. “You refuse to say anything, and you‘re so rude to my friend. I know you
don‘t like me, but there‘s no need to belittle me like this.”
Xavier froze for a moment. He did not expect her to say that. He became a little annoyed and lit a
cigarette. “I‘ve always been like this. If you don‘t like it, you can tell your grandparents. I promise I won‘t
appear in front of you again and annoy you.”
“You know that‘s not what I meant...” Zeta took a deep breath and smelled a choking smoke. The corners
of her eyes turned red. “Xavier, you can‘t bully me like that,” she suddenly said in a trembling voice.
Zeta rarely had mood swings in front of him. She always gave in to him and tolerated him.
It was Xavier‘s first time seeing her look like she was about to cry. He paused and shook off the cigarette
ash in his hands. It landed on his index finger and caused a burning pain on his skin.
He looked at Zeta‘s face gloomily. “If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you crying?”
He turned his head away, unwilling to see Zeta cry. He was not a man who was afraid of a woman‘s
tears. There were times when he found their tears so enticing and felt sorry for them. A woman‘s tears
were at best a kind of flirtatious pleasure for him.
His women outside occasionally shed a tear or two in front of him. He did not care if they were really
crying, but he was always happy to coax them––of course, only if he was in a good mood.
Zeta had never cried in front of him. Her eyes were a little red, and she was not even crying.
This sent a wave of annoyance to his heart. He felt impatient and agitated.
“Anyway, stay away from Ella. Do you hear me?“.
Zeta did not say anything or agree with him. The silence lasted for a while. After that, she said, “Aren‘t
Grandpa and Grandma waiting for us at home? Let‘s go.”
She walked straight ahead immediately after saying that.
Xavier‘s annoyance grew while he looked at her back. Zeta had never given him such a look before. ‘All
this for Ella? What the heck, he thought.
He cursed in his heart and strode to follow her)
Stella did not know where to go after leaving the hospital. She was unwilling to return to Stardust
Mansion. If Weston had not forced her to, she would never step foot in Stardust Mansion again.
She had no work on the set too. She would be a nuisance to them if she went over.
There was no news from Weston on her phone. Stella thought about it and finally went to the school.
