Your Love Is My Weapon

Chapter 74

Jacob knew Xavier well. It must be an emergency. Otherwise, he wouldn't call Xavier like this again and

again.

As expected, as soon as Xavier answered the phone call, he heard Jacob's urgent tone. Jacob told

Xavier about what Marshal did.

"He was taken away at that time. I heard from Eli that there were witnesses and physical evidence.

Now that the news hasn't been spread out, do you want to come out and try to smooth the thing over..."

Xavier raised his eyebrows slightly. He was not quite surprised. Marshal was such a man who had an

exaggerated opinion of his abilities. He would feel it strange if Marshal didn't cause any trouble.

Xavier sighed. "No need to help him."

Jacob was stunned. "How can we not help him? This will affect..."

"What shall we do? Get the murderer out?" Xavier asked slowly.

Xavier looked very calm as if these things had nothing to do with him.

Xavier knew that Jacob was worried that someone would take advantage of the situation.

It was not that he didn't care, but that he already had other ways to deal with it. It was the most

irrational behavior to get the murderer out.

"Then what should we do?" Jacob was still worried. Since the relationship between the Harrison Family

and the Jones Family was very close, this homicide case would definitely implicate the Jones Family.

Mr. Jones was still in power and this might take a toll on him.

"Wait and see." Xavier could think of what Jacob could think of.

At this time, the more he wanted to conceal the homicide case, the easier others would have

something on him. Given this, he chose to simply be an onlooker.

Jacob was helpless. Since Xavier had already made up his mind, Jacob stopped talking.

Xavier had just hung up when another call came in. It was from Daisy.

Xavier knew what the phone call was about even he didn't pick up the phone.

He glanced at the floor where Arya lived. He didn't look at the floor for too long but his behavior was

meaningful. Then, he drove the car away.

Soon, he pulled over the outside of the mansion of the Jones Family. Xavier heard crying before he

could enter.

Xavier couldn't help but frown. Xavier really didn't want to come here now. But he still came because

although he didn't care about the people in the Harrison Family, he cared about Daisy. He was afraid

that she would lose her marbles.

As soon as Xavier entered, Estella pounced on him. "Xavier, something happened to Marshal. You

must save him."

Estella's face was furrowed with tears. Her appearance now was very different from her usual high-

spirited and vigorous one.

Xavier did not hide his disgust for Estella. Now, he disliked Estella even more. Harriet was sensible and

she quickly grabbed Estella.

"Xavier, Marshal didn't mean it. You can definitely save him, right?" Before Xavier could answer, Harriet

continued, "You and I are an unmarried couple. If Marshal goes to jail, it will definitely affect Caspar..."

Xavier looked at Harriet quietly, his face stony. "Do you mean that it won't affect if Marshal doesn't go to

jail?"

Harriet was stunned and did not understand what Xavier meant.

"Don't forget that one of your family members has already been to prison."

Xavier had lost all his patience to the people in the Harrison Family. He disliked them extremely.

'Who the hell are they?'

Harriet was just about to explain but Estella started speaking. "Arya is not a member of the Harrison

Family at all. When she was still in school, she had hooked up with so many men. Later, she drove a

car and killed a man. But Marshal is different. He is Harriet's biological brother..."

Even at this time, Estella did not forget to smear Arya.

Daisy widened her eyes and looked confused. "Who's Arya?"

Now, no one had time to explain to Daisy. Xavier said in a calm voice, "I won't interfere in this. Blood for

blood! Harriet, take your mother back."

Xavier didn't want to look at them anymore.

"Xavier, Marshal is Harriet's younger brother. You have a woman outside. You have wronged Harriet so

much. But has Harriet ever done anything? She hasn't because she loves you. Now that something

happened to her younger brother and you offer no help, Is there anything good inside of you?"

Seeing that Estella wanted to make a scene, Xavier simply decided to speak frankly and sincerely. He

glanced at Harriet and his mocking eyes rested on Estella. "She hasn't. But what about you? Didn't you

do something for her?"

Estella didn't understand what he was talking about.

Suddenly, she thought of something and couldn't help but widen her eyes. She had found someone to

destroy Arya, but at that time Estella didn't know that Arya had something to do with Xavier.

So, Xavier thought that Estella was helping Harriet to vent her anger and this was why Estella found

someone to destroy Arya.

But Estella couldn't explain it.

Estella couldn't say that she wanted to destroy Arya because she just wanted to.

"Xavier, my mother didn't mean it. She just didn't want me to be wronged..."

Xavier closed his eyes and was unusually calm. It was perhaps because he didn't care about anything

anymore. "Harriet, you guys exhausted all the patience I have for you. All these years, Marshal has

done so many bad things outside of my name. I didn't want to say it before, because I respected you.

Because he was your younger brother, I turned a blind eye to those things he did.

But that doesn't mean I don't know.

Now that something happened to him, you came to me and cried. Who do you think I am? National

law? He can be released as long as I say a word?"

"You can have him released as long as you're willing to do something and find someone to help you."

Harriet stepped forward and grabbed Xavier's hand. "He's my brother. Xavier, please help him."

Although Harriet was angry at Marshal for being ignorant and rash, Marshal was still her biological

brother.

Xavier looked at Harriet's anxious expression and said word by word, "Arya is your sister. Have you

ever begged someone to help her like this when something happened to her?"

Xavier's sudden words made Harriet speechless.

"At that time... I didn't know you at that time. I begged for someone else..."

"Really? But I clearly remember that time when we were at the jewelry store, you pretended not to

know her and deliberately made things difficult for her, right?"

Xavier didn't remember this until Harriet confessed to him that day.

In the past, he thought that Harriet was just a little sophisticated, but now it seemed that there was

something deep and dark inside of her. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Harriet thought that Xavier should have forgotten such a small thing, but she didn't expect that he still

remembered it.

Looking at Harriet's flustered expression, Xavier increasingly felt that he had never truly known her

before. 'Is she really kind?'

'If she is kind, how can she not recognize Arya and even made things difficult for Arya?'

'Obviously, she did it intentionally.'

"In the past, I thought you were different from your greedy brother and even your mother. But I was

wrong. How much could you be different from your mother and brother since the same blood flowed in

your vein?"

Harriet panicked and grabbed Xavier's arm. She explained, "Xavier, it's not what you think. I didn't

mean to make things difficult for her..."

Xavier shook Harriet's hand away without hesitation. "You and I... are not suitable. We need to think

twice about our wedding."

"No!" Harriet stopped him. "There is no need to think more about it. I want to marry you!"

"Xavier, how could you do this? Harriet has been with you for four years..." Estella was so furious.

Daisy stood up from the sofa and snapped, "That's enough. Have you guys had enough of this?!"

Daisy was also annoyed. They all blamed her son. 'What did my son do wrong?'

She was a mother. When she saw her son being surrounded and questioned, she felt very

uncomfortable.

She softened her tone. Daisy, who was well-bred, would not yell at Estella. "Estella, I know you're in a

hurry after something like this happened. As soon as Xavier came, you blocked the door and didn't let

him in. Is it appropriate for you to do this? Is there anything that you can't wait to talk about until we all

sit down?"

Estella wanted to ask whether Daisy was able to remain calm if anything happened to Xavier.

However, she could not say this, Quarrel brought no good to the settlement of this issue. She could

only sit back on the sofa.

"Leave Marshal's issue aside first. Tell me, who is Arya?" Daisy was very curious about the name that

had appeared many times.

Estella spoke. "Arya was the child of my husband and his ex-wife. A few years ago, she was sent to

prison for killing someone while she was driving. She just came out of prison."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Daisy seemed extremely unhappy. Marshal's thing had already made her feel

disappointed at the Harrison Family. She never expected them to hide such a thing from her.

Daisy was unhappy.

Estella tried to explain, "Although she's a child of Harrison Family, she has nothing to do with Harriet..."

"Stop it." Daisy had never been like this as she rudely interrupted someone. No matter how Estella

explained it, it was still the Harrison Family's fault as they didn't tell her.

'And what did it mean that it had nothing to do with Harriet?'

'They were half-sisters, weren't they? What did Estella think about it?'

"I don't think your Harriet and Xavier are suitable." At first, Daisy felt that Xavier was impulsive as he

said to reconsider the marriage. After knowing everything, Daisy did not approve to continue their

marriage either.

'What did they do? Who will hide such a thing? They are bad persons.'

Estella almost jumped up in anger. "Harriet has been with Xavier for four years, and it is Xavier who

wrongs Harriet."

"Xavier would find another woman because your Harriet is not good enough and can't make Xavier

love her wholeheartedly. You can't blame Xavier." No matter how rational parents were, they would

always stand on their child's side without any hesitation.

Daisy was an example. She had reprimanded Xavier for doing that. But now, she wouldn't do it again.

At this time, she had to stand with her son.

Daisy used to like Harriet very much.

However, what they did disappointed her to the extreme. "Our two families are originally not well-

matched for marriage. I can accept the marriage because I believe in your good moral standing. But

what about now?"

Daisy didn't want to say anything more. One family had three children, but two children had been sent

into prison. So, what could their moral standing be?

Would Harriet really be greatly different from them? It's unlikely.

"Daisy." Harriet knelt in front of Daisy. "I know I'm not good enough, but I really like Xavier. Please,

don't cancel our wedding."
