chapter 82 She wants to take down Si Chen
After Timothy was taken away, Zachary and Yelena walked toward Olivia respectfully and asked her about Dennis' condition.
Olivia said, "Timothy's needle will cause no harm to old Mr. Si during this part of the treatment. Don't worry. Your dad is fine."
Even though both of them were relieved, they exchanged glances.
Olivia pretended not to notice. After she gave Yaron a few instructions, Olivia left the Si residence with Xavier.
Xavier's expression was gloomy as he drove. He asked calmly, "Do you think Timothy and Finley were behind all this?"
Olivia smiled. "Didn't you ask Yelena to gather these people to search for that evidence?"
Xavier said, "How did you know?"
"No matter how smart Yelena is, she never thought that Timothy would put so many incriminating shreds of evidence in his room, let alone bring along someone who could decipher the codes. You must have given her a heads up."
"I suspect you are praising me for being smart." Xavier raised his brow slightly as pride glinted in his eyes.
Olivia crossed her arm before her chest and said lazily, "That's right. You're a smart guy, Mr. Si."
Embarrassed by the comment, Xavier coughed. "So, what are your thoughts on this?"
Olivia glanced at Xavier. "Isn't everything under your control? Timothy and Finley, who is overseas, are just a cover for the ruse, and the real culprit has yet to be caught."
Xavier laughed. "Well, it's true that nothing can be kept a secret before Dr. Xue."
Olivia raised her eyebrow. "Didn't you involve me in this so that I can get a clear understanding of those messy affairs happening in the Si family, Mr. Xavier?"
Calling him "Mr. Xavier" made Xavier uncomfortable.
He opened his mouth to explain but held back his words.
"I don't know what to say, Mrs. Si, because you're smart. To atone for my sins, I shall treat you to a nice meal before sending you to your master's place to rest for two days. Is that okay for you?
Initially, Xavier didn't want Olivia to get involved in the affairs of the Si Family, but he also knew today's event could only happen with her involvement.
Olivia was aware of Xavier's plan, and that was precisely why she went along with him.
However, she had always been most afraid of trouble. Her earlier words were to remind Xavier that she cooperated with him on what happened today, but if anything happened to the Si family in the future, he should not involved her.
Xavier didn't intend for Olivia to be involved too much in the Si Family's affairs, so when he introduced her to the Si Family, he only mentioned that she was the miracle doctor but did not utter a word about her being his wife.
The Si Family was a century-old family and a leading group in the capital city. As a result, the Si Family was in an unfavorable and complex situation.
In addition, this matter now involved Dennis' body condition and the future leadership and property division of the Si Family. Thus, it was a grave situation.
The Si Family had few heirs. Dennis only had two sons before Xavier was returned to him. Moreover, Finley also ran away from home many years ago.
In this way, the Si Family would belong to Zachary by default, while he also claimed to be the future head of the Si Family.
Because of that, Zachary could do whatever he wanted in the capital city. Wherever he went, people treated him like a revered leader, and that caused him to become increasingly arrogant and smug, disregarding everyone.
Therefore, when Finley, who was abroad, suddenly contacted him a few years ago and asked about Dennis' condition, he became wary of his younger brother's intention.
And then, there came Xavier.
Zachary didn't mind Finley as much because Finley was his biological brother, while Xavier was only his half-brother.
It was absolutely impossible for Zachary to really treat Xavier as his biological brother. Even if Xavier were Zachary's biological brother, he would not treat him like one, for Zachary came from a big, complex family like the Si Family.
Regarding profit and interest, Zachary felt the closer the person's relationship to him was, the more he had to be wary of them.
Besides, although the Si Family was the central family, they had several other branches. There were many young, talented, capable young men from other divisions, and they all had their eyes on the position of the head of the Si Family. They were waiting for the day Dennis passed away, so
they could seize the opportunity to make themselves the leader of the Si Family while the central Si Family was in chaos.
Of course, Zachary was aware of this. However, as the most promising person to inherit the leadership title of the Si Family from Dennis, he would not allow others to snatch his bright future and personal gains from him so easily.
He was determined to make the Si Family his.
Hence, Zachary couldn't let Dennis die yet because he knew the content of the older man's testament.
That was also the reason why he desperately wanted Olivia to save Dennis during this period.
As for Xavier, he knew everything that was going through Zachary's mind and his plans. Due to that reason, he had to interfere in the Si Family's matters.
"Especially…" Xavier mused.
He sighed lightly, thinking of Dennis.
If he could, he wanted to avoid getting involved in the Si Family's affairs. But now, he had no other choice.
Xavier accompanied Olivia as they went for a meal. Seeing Olivia eating with gusto, Xavier couldn't help but curl up his lips. He served the dishes to Olivia considerately, ensuring she got the most comfortable eating experience.
Xavier originally wanted to send Olivia to Gerald's place, but she rejected his offer after they ate.
"Why don't you lend me your car? I'll drive over there." She smiled lazily, "You're a busy man, Mr. Xavier, and I don't want to waste your time by having you drive back and forth."
"It's not a waste of time." Xavier raised his brow. "It's my honor to fetch you, Mrs. Si."
Olivia thought, "But I don't want you to fetch me…"
However, Xavier was determined to send her there. He shot down and convinced her to follow his way when Olivia came up with multiple excuses.
Not knowing how to argue anymore, Olivia followed Xavier obediently into the car.
Coincidently, Chole had dinner with her senior in the same restaurant.
When she came out, she spotted Olivia getting into the vehicle with Xavier, as her expression froze. Chole tugged on her senior's clothes.
"So, it's true that they are in the capital city?" Chole followed the couple's direction excitedly, wanting to make sure she saw things right.
However, Olivia and Xavier had already gotten in the car and drove away.
But Chole was almost sure that those two people were Xavier and Olivia. Excitement filled her heart as she mused, "I guessed it correctly! Xavier is indeed a big shot in the capital city! How can a capable, tall, handsome man like him marry that worthless woman? I can't accept this! I have to find a way to make him mine!"
"What did you say?" An elegant male voice sounded beside her.
Chole returned to reality. Thoughts ran across her mind quickly as she came up with an excuse. "Nothing. I thought I saw someone familiar."
Her senior, Chris, didn't overthink her words.
Chole voiced, "Chris, can you tell me more about the mysterious big shot of the Si Family in the capital city?"
Chris glanced at her, smiling. "You said it yourself. He is a mysterious big shot, so there's nothing much I know about him. All I know is that he is ruthless and determined in whatever he does. Mr. Zachary from the Si Family is incomparable to him regarding capabilities and business measures. Oh, he is also most probably going to be the future head of the Si Family."
"The future leader of the Si family?" Chole's breath froze involuntarily when she recalled Xavier's handsome face. She thought, "If Xavier is really the mysterious big shot, does that mean I will gain both fame and fortune and become the envy of all women after I make him mine?"
Happiness glinted in Chole's eyes as she thought of the possibility of that happening to her.
She made a decision then to win Xavier over once she had gotten a good ranking in the upcoming National Dance Competition.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
