Chapter 23 Stay Away.

Yrian tugged at her sleeve and whispered, “Grandma, I want Mom’s barbecue.

From the very beginning. Yrian had been staring at Xyl, but she had simply ignored him.

Nylia, hurry up and make some barbecue for Yrian!” Irene shouted.

Nylia didn’t move. Instead, she sneered. “Go make it yourself

“You’re his mother. Of course, it’s your job” Irene snapped, her voice dripping with contempt, “You wretched woman! We must have been blind back then I should never have agreed to this marriage!”

Xyla slammed her hand on the table and raised her voice.

“First of all, this marriage was arranged long ago. Second, marrying into your family didn’t put you at a loss. My father contributed many formulas to the research institute, and wherever he went, he brought Jayden along. If Jayden hadn’t married me, do you think he could’ve climbed the ranks so fast? If he knew how shameless the Castros would be, he should’ve called you all useless to your faces back then!”

After dying once because of her foolish love, Xylia had finally figured things out–like the fact that Jayden had probably never loved her.

That explained why he had left abroad–right after they got married, and after exploiting her father’s connections, he had only wanted to get rid of her.

Fortunately, she had realized it before it was too late. Now, she was going to make sure these scumbags paid the price.

And that one billion dollars the Castros were desperate to get rid of her for? That was just the beginning.

Irene was livid. “You’re talking nonsense! The Castros only tolerated you because you were an orphan and the marriage contract was still valid

Xylia cut in with a nod. “Oh, right. You saw me as an easy target and probably swallowed up the rest of my family’s assets too.”

A flicker of guilt flashed across Irene’s eyes, but she quickly covered it up. “Don’t be ridiculous! Your parents died suddenly, and it was only after Watson Group’s investors pulled out that your family went bankrupt

Xylia’s ryes narrowed slightly. She didn’t believe that for a second. Over the past few months, she had been investigating Watson Group’s bankruptcy from five years ago, but all traces of it had been wiped clean.

She only had herself to blame. Back then, her parents sudden passing had devastated her, giving Jayden

the perfect opening to take a of her. She had been too caught up in grief to question anything.

leaving everything in the Castros hands. When they told her the company had gone under, she had blindly believed them.

Now, it seemed clear–the Castros were behind Watson Group’s collapse. That raised another question: were they involved in her parents‘ deaths too?

Xylia lowered her gaze, lost in thought. She didn’t even notice when Yrian had squeezed up to her table, carefully reaching out for her hand.

But before he could touch her, he froze under her cold, sharp gaze. The moment Yrian locked eyes with her murderous stare, he burst into loud sobs

“Waaah, Mom!”

Snapping back to reality, Xylia’s expression turned frosty as she looked at him.

“I’m not your mom. Go find your real one.”

Through his tears. Yrian choked out, “No! You are my mom–please, protect me ….

o hit you?”

Nylia’s voice was cold. “Then why did you tell everyone I was the one

Yrian bit his lip. “…”

He stammered for a while but couldn’t get a single word out. Instead, tears started streaming down his

face.

“Enough! Stop talking to that heartless woman.”

Irene shot Xylia a glare, then pulled Yrian to sit beside her at the next table. She raised her voice deliberately, making sure Xylia could hear.

“Didn’t you just say you wanted barbecue? I won’t hold you back anymore. Eat whatever you want, however much you want!”

Yrian had always had a weak stomach, not to mention he had been sick recently. His facial bruises hadn’t even healed yet. Now Irene was letting him stuff himself with barbecue? Anyone who didn’t know better would think she was out to get him.

Xylia remained unfazed and continued eating.

But Yrian, delighted by Irene’s words, immediately ordered a huge amount of food. Their table was soon piled high with plates, and he grabbed a skewer of lamb, chewing away greedily, his mouth covered in oil.

Irene shot Xylia a glance before turning back to Yrian, Her voice suddenly gentle as she pushed more skewers onto his plate.

“Eat up, Yrian. It’s all meat.”

Yeah, meat. Unhealthy meat loaded with artificial additives.

Xylia set down her skewer and stood up. Irene instantly followed suit, planting her hands on her hips. “You have no right to interfere with Yrian now! Stay away from him!”

I wasn’t planning to interfere. I was just asking the owner to pack up my food” Xylia raised her voice. Boss, I’d like this to go.”

“Got it!” the owner replied briskly, quickly wrapping up the remaining barbecue.

As Xylia passed by Irene’s table, she didn’t even pause, walking away without hesitation.-.

Irene’s eyes widened in disbelief. When she realized Xylia was leaving, she shot up and chased after her, just in time to see her about to get into her car.
