Jason knelt at the widow’s grave.B
To prevent his escape, bodyguards were stationed around the site.
Xavier’s mother couldn’t bear to see her son suffer.
Eventually, she called Miranda to keep him company.
Jason kowtowed again and again while Miranda lounged inside a tent, scrolling on her phone.
By midnight, mosquitoes had nearly eaten him alive.
When he turned around and saw Miranda sound asleep, rage surged within him.
“Damn it, this is how you accompany me?”
Startled by his shout, Miranda jerked awake.
“Jason, you know my skin’s sensitive. I can’t handle mosquito bites.”
“Anyway, if kowtowing actually worked, I’d definitely do it for you, Brother.“%
Jason stared at Miranda, and a thought surfaced.
If it were Evelyn, she’d be fanning him, giving him water, wiping his sweat.{
That’s what she did in their past life.
In that life, after choosing Evelyn, he survived the curse.
Evelyn served him–devotedly and kept the Xavier family thriving.
He once mentioned strawberries, and she crossed half the city to buy them.
He once said he disliked seeing her without makeup, so she rose at four every morning to paint her face.
But how did he repay her?”
He threw the strawberries at a club escort.E
He mocked her, saying she was ugly no matter how much makeup she wore–and that he’d never love her.!!
Worse, he had planned to kill Miranda on her death anniversary.
He and his friends even bragged about how satisfying her murder was.!
He could barely recall his time with Miranda-
But he remembered Evelyn’s despair in the coffin vividly.
She’d clutched his hand, pleading, asking why.
“Evelyn..”
Regret surged through him. He whispered her name without thinking.
More memories of Evelyn rushed back, tormenting him.
He clenched his teeth. Everything was ruined…
Then he snapped out of it.
He looked up sharply, eyes fixed on the bracelet around Miranda’s wrist-
The bracelet that marked her as Madam Xavier
Without warning, he grabbed her wrist and yanked the bracelet off.
Miranda shrieked, jolted by pain and fear.
“Ah! Jason? What are you doing?”
“This is mine! Mom gave it to me!”
Jason’s bloodshot eyes ignored her cries.”
He mumbled like a madman:
“She still wants to save me… She still loves me. She must.“W
“If she didn’t, she wouldn’t have come.”
After struggling for a while, he finally tore the bracelet away.!!
Miranda sobbed and lunged at him.”
“Give it back! That’s mine! I’m Madam Xavier–Jason, why?“\
Frustrated, Jason shoved her to the ground.
“This is hers. Once I break the curse, I’m proposing to her again.”
After I finished kowtowing, I headed to the Xavier estate without delay.”
8:29 AM p p.
After I finished kowtowing, I headed to the Xavier estate without delay.
The place was in chaos–doctors, Exorcists, monks filled the halls.
Before 1 even stepped inside, I heard an Exorcist shaking his head as he clutched a talisman. “Master Xavier, with all due respect…“8
“There’s no hope. Absolutely none…”
Crushed, Xavier’s father sank into his chair.
“The Xavier family can’t end with me…”
But the look he gave Jason had already changed.
In the end, he still had a son.}
Jason lay on a stretcher, barely–breathing, held together only by the priest’s talisman.
