However, the strange thing was that Zachary, who usually looked like the king of hell when he talked about Bailey, did not have any anger on his face.

Sunny asked in surprise, “You’re not angry today? Ms. Shear hit someone at your family’s banquet. She clearly doesn’t care about your family and doesn’t care about your face. There’s a high chance that she did it on purpose.”

A smile of interest appeared on Zachary’s face, and his expression was inexplicably happy and a little mocking. “One earns one’s respect from others by themselves, it’s not given by someone else. Otherwise, you would be slapped in the face in public by others.”

Sunny suspected that Zachary did not hear what he was saying and did not answer his question. He was talking about Bailey slapping Xavier’s face. Zachary’s answer was clearly saying that Bailey was slapping Xavier’s face. From the meaning of Zachary’s words, it was quite right for Bailey to hit Xavier.

At this moment, Xavier, who was surrounded by everyone, looked at Bailey in shock. In just a few seconds, he had thought about all the wicked things he had done. After confirming that it was impossible for Bailey to know about them, he retracted his thoughts and he was met with the mockery and ridicule of the surrounding people.

Xavier’s face lit up and instantly burned even more. It was not only because of Bailey’s merciless slap, but also because the discussions of the crowd made him extremely embarrassed.

Xavier suppressed the resentment and embarrassment in his heart and adjusted his expression. He looked at Bailey with a helpless expression and a slight blame he had towards her. “Bailey, I know that the Shear and Gaston families have a little conflict, but today’s occasion is not suitable for you to be willful and throw a tantrum. Be obedient, okay?”

Xavier’s voice was neither loud nor soft, allowing the surrounding people to hear him.

Looking at Xavier’s pure and slanderous face, Bailey smiled ruthlessly in her heart. This bastard was indeed a rare man in the world that was so cunning and fake.

Sure enough, the surrounding people began to reprimand and be dissatisfied with Bailey. The two families were fighting fiercely in private, but the facade on the surface had to be maintained. Bailey hitting someone at the Gaston family’s banquet was clearly done on purpose to not give the Gaston family any respect.

Could it be that the feud between the two families was about to be brought to the surface?

Bailey snorted coldly with a cold smile on her face. She said loudly, “Xavier, I hit you because you did something you shouldn’t have done. Why are you dragging the Gaston family into this?”

As if she had suddenly thought of something, Bailey’s expression instantly became clear. “Oh! I understand. You’re afraid that I’ll share why I hit you and ruin your reputation, so you’re using the Gaston family as a shield for your dirty things?”

Those who could attend the birthday banquet of the second old master today were all famous figures. Bailey wanted Xavier to ruin his reputation in this industry.

Of course, there was another very important reason. Bailey glanced lightly at the man in the corner.

Yes, Bailey was anxious to use a legitimate reason to get rid of her relationship with Xavier. Only then could she be with Zachary openly.

Hence, this slap was the beginning of her revenge on Xavier. At the same time, it was a show of love for Zachary.

The surrounding people looked at Xavier in unison, suspecting that Xavier had done something he shouldn’t have done to make Bailey hit him in public.

The suspicion became more and more ridiculous, causing the smile on Xavier’s face that he had barely maintained to slowly dissipate. Then, he revealed a hurt and aggrieved expression, making people pity him.

Xavier’s tone was slightly choked as he said sadly, “Bailey, did you misunderstand something? However, no matter what it is, it’s my fault for making you unhappy. I accept my punishment. Even if you might just be in a bad mood or just heard rumors that some nonfactual things happened, as long as you’re happy, it’s fine for you to hit me a few times.”

Xavier paused for a moment, then a bitter smile appeared on his lips. He said self-deprecatingly, “In this love affair, I was the one who was moved by you first, which meant that I was destined to follow you forever and focus and follow all your emotions. Since I love you, I will accept and tolerate all your bad temper unconditionally, so don’t feel burdened. My face doesn’t hurt. I’m willing to endure the warmth of your palm touching my face quickly.”

Xavier’s tone was sincere and his words were gentle. He had the image of a loving man who was willing to lower his status for love. Immediately, the surrounding girls pitied him and looked at Bailey with a reprimanding expression.
