Chapter 10: Chapter Ten: Can’t Keep a Man
Xaviera Evans pulled out her phone, pressed a couple of buttons randomly, and then a
deliberately subdued male voice came out.
“Miss Evans, the matter you speak of isn’t very easy to deal with.”
“You see, if people find out, I won’t be able to stay at the hospital any longer, and I have a
large family to support, including my wife and children…”
“Please don’t misunderstand, it’s not that I’m asking you to increase the payment, it’s just
that the risks in this matter are too high, I…”
“No, don’t play it anymore!”
Mag Evans abruptly sat up from the bed, her eyes wide with fear as they were fixated on
Xaviera.
Why, why did she have this recording!
Xaviera Williams smiled slightly: “It seems that you have remembered something, haven’t
you, sister?”
Mr. Evans and Rose Campbell wore a stunned look on their faces.
“Mag, you…”
“Don’t ask, don’t ask anything. Could you please leave the room, Mom and Dad? I would
like to have a private conversation with my sister.”
Rose Campbell wanted to say something else, but when she met Mag’s pleading gaze, she

“We’ll be right outside, just call us if you need anything.”
Mr. Evans was also worried about leaving Mag alone with Xaviera, but he was unable to
resist Mag’s pleas. In the end, he had to reluctantly leave the ward, glancing back every
few steps.
As the door of the ward closed, Mag’s demeanor changed. She absentmindedly twirled her
long hair and asked, “Where did you get this recording? Those people are truly wicked,
purposely causing a rift between us sisters.”
Xaviera pulled up a chair and sat down: “Aren’t you tired of pretending all the time?”
Mag was still acting out the sisterly affection despite having torn all pretenses.
Mag lowered her head, her expression unclear. But the tremble in her shoulders was
apparent, her feelings were certainly far from calm: “Sister, why did you have to come
back? Wouldn’t it have been better if you had stayed and died in the countryside? Why did
you have to come back to take my place as Miss Evans? Why did you have to steal my
fiancé? And why did Grandpa have to make such a stipulation? Why did he have to give
the shares of the Evans Group to you? Why!”
“In what aspect do I fall short when compared to you? In terms of knowledge, talent, or
the etiquette of the upper class, which of these is lacking in me? For a hillbilly like you who
just came back from the countryside and can’t even apply makeup to suddenly come and
grab all my possessions, on what grounds!”
She suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of grievances and resentment.
She was angry, full of hatred!
She wished that Xaviera could just drop dead!
“Why?”
Xaviera stared at the immaculate white ceiling, her tone was so soft that it could barely be
heard: “Perhaps because everything you mentioned was supposed to be mine, to begin
with.”
She calmly explained, “If it hadn’t been for your mother intrusion into my mother’s
marriage, I would have had a complete family, grown up in Libanan, and learned all the
things you mentioned. And you, you’re just an usurper, taking away everything that was
supposed to be mine.”
Mag was stunned, she instinctively retorted, “That’s not true, my mother didn’t meddle in
your mother’s marriage, it’s your mother who is incapable, she couldn’t hold onto her
man!”
“Huh?”
This argument…
Xaviera was taken aback by Mag’s distorted values. She paused for a while, then asked
with a hint of doubt: “Based on your argument, me fulfilling my engagement with Moore
and marrying him, with you being abandoned despite being his childhood friend, is also
because you’re incapable?”
“No, of course not! It was you who are deceitful, you and Grandpa forced Moore to marry
you by using the shares!”

“Oh, in any case, whatever you say is right.”
Xaviera unconsciously fiddled with the phone. “I really learned something today… even
mistresses are so self-righteous…”
With that said, she looked up at Mag: “Let’s get back to the point, how is a person who
isn’t pregnant going to have an abortion?”
“I…”
Mag’s facial expression paused for a moment, then she suddenly looked up at Xaviera
with a smile: “Sister, why are you so certain that I’m not pregnant? Just because of that
recording? But even recordings can be faked…”
She was too shocked before, shocked that Xaviera could get that recording, but now she
had calmed down.
Even if Xaviera got the recording, so what? As long as she insisted that the recording was
fake, Xaviera couldn’t do anything about it!
Her hospital admission and surgery reports were all real!
“You’re lying through your teeth, aren’t you?”
Xaviera went over Mag’s arrangements in her mind quickly, she had to admit, if it were
anyone else who fell into her trap, Mag’s plan would be 100 percent successful.
But unfortunately, she ran into her…
“If you’re relying on those cold, hard pieces of paper as evidence, you might lose.”
Xaviera lightly tapped on an encrypted video file and then flipped her phone screen. Every
frame of the video was then clearly visible to Mag.
