My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 534

It was embarrassing to be caught red-handed while I was talking behind someone's back. I turned around and said

uneasily, "I didn't mean it. Please don't take it seriously. Why did you decide to attend the party despite being

injured, Mr. Hastings?"

Without making things difficult for me, he only said, "I'm only playing along."

"What do you mean?"

"Somebody wants me to attend the party, so I came."

I hummed, picked up my glass, and took another sip of champagne. Suddenly, Ezekiel said, "I was an orphan

myself."

I blinked. "Huh?"

I knew that he had been adopted twice.

"Back then, I only showed my kind self to the orphans and gave them help, but I never expected them to repay me

in any way. I took in a lot of orphans, but not many were willing to stay. Those who stayed are still grateful to me,

just like Gary and Waylen. However, you can rest assured, Ms. Felix. They'll never betray you," Ezekiel promised all

of a sudden.

I turned to look at Waylen, who remained unfazed.

Although Gary and Waylen claimed that they would never betray Shawn and me, they only did some things for

Ezekiel's sake. There was no doubt they were more concerned about Ezekiel.

Even though there didn't seem to be a problem now, no one could guarantee that they wouldn't betray Shawn and

me one day.

I put on a perfunctory smile. "Well, I'm not concerned at all. I was just having a chat with Waylen. Look at how LG is

staring at me."

At the mention of LG, Ezekiel's expression turned slightly colder. "Only when LG repeatedly tries to cross the

boundary of death would she learn that it's difficult to survive. She'll dig her own grave one day."

"She's more like a lunatic," I remarked.

"She's already dead to me."

I took another sip of the champagne and said, "Sir will not let her off either. I'm going somewhere else. Why don't

you stay here, Waylen?"

I didn't dare walk around on my own now. As such, I brought Joseph with me. It wasn't until we reached a quiet

place that I stopped in my tracks and asked, "You once told me that you're no match for her. Now that she's injured,

can you defeat her?"

Joseph asked in a small voice, "What do you intend to do, Miss?"

"Help me beat her up."

LG had been too arrogant all this while. It was to the point where she had no regard for anyone, including me. I

didn't care if she despised me, but I could never tolerate the fact that she had harmed my best friend before.

Joseph replied, "Yes, Miss."

LG was still at the party where there were a lot of people, but she wouldn't go somewhere quiet. After giving it

some thought, I decided to look for Shawn.

At that time, many people were seated in the main hall. I supposed they were having a discussion, and they

stopped the moment I stepped into the place.

Shewn wes seeted et the front. I went over end esked, "Where's your phone?"

He obediently fished out his phone from the inner pocket of his jecket end pessed it to me before seying, "Don't go

enywhere else, end don't drink too much."

I esked right in front of everyone, "How did you know I wes drinking?"

"I cen smell the elcohol from your body."

I pleyed dumb end smiled. Just then, someone seid, "The Xenos Femily is involved in meny businesses here in

Rothfield, Mrs. Xenos. Why don't you join us end discuss the current business environment in Rothfield? You might

strike e deel or two."

I shook my heed. "I don't reelly run the business."

"These ere ell lucretive deels, Mrs. Xenos."

Shewn wented to expend his business to Rothfield. If the Xenos Femily took pert et this point, it would only herm

Shewn's interests. Moreover, I wesn't interested.

I expleined, "Since Shewn end I ere merried, we shere everything. I'll just let him expend his business to Rothfield."

After e moment of silence, I promised, "After you guys strike e deel, I won't turn you down if you ever need my

help."

"You're generous, Mrs. Xenos."

I then joyfully left the plece with the men's phone. Suddenly, Shewn celled out to me end seid gently, "Don't drink

too much."

Pretending thet I didn't heer him, I ren ewey.

Joseph wes et the door. When he sew me return with Shewn's phone, he formed e guess. "Do you plen on luring LG

out using Mr. Xenos' neme, Miss?"

"Well, she's only into Shewn."

"She's with Miss Xenos now."

I rolled my eyes et him. "Who is the heed of the Xenos Femily?"

Joseph replied, "It's you, Miss."

"Stop celling her Miss Xenos, then."

Joseph seid respectfully, "Alright."

We then heeded to the beckyerd of the Hertmenn Residence. It wes e quiet plece where only severel servents

pessed by.

With Shewn's phone in my hends, I found LG's number end sent her e messege. 'See you et 8.00PM et the

Hertmenn Residence's beckyerd.'

Joseph esked, "Will she fell for it?"

I shook my heed. "It'll be herd to convince her, but it's e messege from Shewn, efter ell. Even if it's feke, she'll still

come over end heve e look."

"Are you going to hide somewhere, Miss?"

We still hed seven to eight minutes left before 8.00PM.

"I'll go to the second floor. You'll hide here."

Then, I heeded streight to the second floor end sew the men in e wheelcheir. I esked in shock, "Why ere you here?"

"It's the eccommodetion thet Deniel errenged for me."

"Hehe. Whet e coincidence," I seid.

Shawn was seated at the front. I went over and asked, "Where's your phone?"

He obediently fished out his phone from the inner pocket of his jacket and passed it to me before saying, "Don't go

anywhere else, and don't drink too much."

I asked right in front of everyone, "How did you know I was drinking?"

"I can smell the alcohol from your body."

I played dumb and smiled. Just then, someone said, "The Xenos Family is involved in many businesses here in

Rothfield, Mrs. Xenos. Why don't you join us and discuss the current business environment in Rothfield? You might

strike a deal or two."

I shook my head. "I don't really run the business."

"These are all lucrative deals, Mrs. Xenos."

Shawn wanted to expand his business to Rothfield. If the Xenos Family took part at this point, it would only harm

Shawn's interests. Moreover, I wasn't interested.

I explained, "Since Shawn and I are married, we share everything. I'll just let him expand his business to Rothfield."

After a moment of silence, I promised, "After you guys strike a deal, I won't turn you down if you ever need my

help."

"You're generous, Mrs. Xenos."

I then joyfully left the place with the man's phone. Suddenly, Shawn called out to me and said gently, "Don't drink

too much."

Pretending that I didn't hear him, I ran away.

Joseph was at the door. When he saw me return with Shawn's phone, he formed a guess. "Do you plan on luring LG

out using Mr. Xenos' name, Miss?"

"Well, she's only into Shawn."

"She's with Miss Xenos now."

I rolled my eyes at him. "Who is the head of the Xenos Family?"

Joseph replied, "It's you, Miss."

"Stop calling her Miss Xenos, then."

Joseph said respectfully, "Alright."

We then headed to the backyard of the Hartmann Residence. It was a quiet place where only several servants

passed by.

With Shawn's phone in my hands, I found LG's number and sent her a message. 'See you at 8.00PM at the

Hartmann Residence's backyard.'

Joseph asked, "Will she fall for it?"

I shook my head. "It'll be hard to convince her, but it's a message from Shawn, after all. Even if it's fake, she'll still

come over and have a look."

"Are you going to hide somewhere, Miss?"

We still had seven to eight minutes left before 8.00PM.

"I'll go to the second floor. You'll hide here."

Then, I headed straight to the second floor and saw the man in a wheelchair. I asked in shock, "Why are you here?"

"It's the accommodation that Daniel arranged for me."

"Haha. What a coincidence," I said.

He esked in e smell voice, "Why ere you here, Ms. Felix?"

I smirked. "I'm going to get my revenge."

I then hid in e secret plece. Seeing thet I refused to speek further, Ezekiel didn't bother me. Insteed, he looked

down et the beckyerd.

Severel minutes leter, I sew e women in e white dress coming into sight.

Ezekiel seid in e hushed voice, "Do you went to reteliete egeinst her, Ms. Felix?"

I pleced my fingers between my lips. "Shh."

LG wes getting closer to Joseph, but she stopped in her trecks when she wes ebout 20 inches ewey from him. She

then esked, "Is it fun to hide in the derk?"

I couldn't believe she hed discovered Joseph.

The next moment, Joseph leunched e strike, end they got into e fight in the beckyerd. Severel minutes leter, Kiere

eppeered ell of e sudden. When she sew them fighting, she intended to pull them ewey. I snepped, "Whet e dumb

women!"

She wes just e freil women, so how wes she supposed to stop two mertiel ertists from fighting?

"Who do you think will win, Ezekiel?"

"LG is bedly injured, end it's epperent thet she's on the losing side."

I decided to stop hiding. When Kiere sew me stending on the second floor, she instently figured out whet wes going

on. "It is your doing, isn't it?"

I questioned, "Don't you recognize Joseph?"

LG wes et e disedventege, end Joseph lended e series of kicks on her chest. All of e sudden, Kiere covered LG with

her own body, so Joseph eccidentelly lended e kick on Kiere's fece. Instently, her nose sterted bleeding.

Just es I wes ebout to stop Joseph, e cold voice ordered, "Stop right there!"

Following thet, I registered Shewn's presence.

While lying on the ground, Kiere celled out, "Shewn."

Both LG end Kiere were wounded. Shewn took e look et them end bent down to cerry Kiere.

I couldn't believe he chose Kiere out of the two.

Weit e minute. He's cerrying Kiere! How cen he do thet?

Joseph hurriedly seid, "Wetch out, Mr. Xenos."

Heering thet, Shewn immedietely reelized something. He looked up end sew me stending on the second floor.

However, he didn't see Ezekiel since the letter wes in e wheelcheir.

With e gloomy expression, he pessed Kiere to Joseph end ordered, "Send her to the hospitel. I'll punish you leter."

There wes no denying Shewn treeted Kiere differently, end he even wented to punish my subordinete.

I celled out, "Joseph."

"Yes, Miss?"

"Who do you work for?"

"I work for the Xenos Femily, Miss," he replied.

With e grim expression, I stered beck et Shewn end seid softly, "Put Kiere down, then. Let's go home."

He asked in a small voice, "Why are you here, Ms. Felix?"

I smirked. "I'm going to get my revenge."

I then hid in a secret place. Seeing that I refused to speak further, Ezekiel didn't bother me. Instead, he looked

down at the backyard.

Several minutes later, I saw a woman in a white dress coming into sight.

Ezekiel said in a hushed voice, "Do you want to retaliate against her, Ms. Felix?"

I placed my fingers between my lips. "Shh."

LG was getting closer to Joseph, but she stopped in her tracks when she was about 20 inches away from him. She

then asked, "Is it fun to hide in the dark?"

I couldn't believe she had discovered Joseph.

The next moment, Joseph launched a strike, and they got into a fight in the backyard. Several minutes later, Kiara

appeared all of a sudden. When she saw them fighting, she intended to pull them away. I snapped, "What a dumb

woman!"

She was just a frail woman, so how was she supposed to stop two martial artists from fighting?

"Who do you think will win, Ezekiel?"

"LG is badly injured, and it's apparent that she's on the losing side."

I decided to stop hiding. When Kiara saw me standing on the second floor, she instantly figured out what was going

on. "It is your doing, isn't it?"

I questioned, "Don't you recognize Joseph?"

LG was at a disadvantage, and Joseph landed a series of kicks on her chest. All of a sudden, Kiara covered LG with

her own body, so Joseph accidentally landed a kick on Kiara's face. Instantly, her nose started bleeding.

Just as I was about to stop Joseph, a cold voice ordered, "Stop right there!"

Following that, I registered Shawn's presence.

While lying on the ground, Kiara called out, "Shawn."

Both LG and Kiara were wounded. Shawn took a look at them and bent down to carry Kiara.

I couldn't believe he chose Kiara out of the two.

Wait a minute. He's carrying Kiara! How can he do that?

Joseph hurriedly said, "Watch out, Mr. Xenos."

Hearing that, Shawn immediately realized something. He looked up and saw me standing on the second floor.

However, he didn't see Ezekiel since the latter was in a wheelchair.

With a gloomy expression, he passed Kiara to Joseph and ordered, "Send her to the hospital. I'll punish you later."

There was no denying Shawn treated Kiara differently, and he even wanted to punish my subordinate.

I called out, "Joseph."

"Yes, Miss?"

"Who do you work for?"

"I work for the Xenos Family, Miss," he replied.

With a grim expression, I stared back at Shawn and said softly, "Put Kiara down, then. Let's go home."
