Chapter 276
After a while, Estelle finally stood up. Her face was pale, but there was no expression on it, just like the desolate and cold winter,
Xavier sat in the chair, picked up the cigarette that had fallen on the ground, and took a deep puff. “You should go. Just pretend you didn’t see me today, or pretend that I’m already dead! Since you became Jonathan’s woman, enjoy your luxurious life. You shouldn’t have come here today, just go!”
Estelle spoke lightly, “Don’t be against Jonathan, don’t do anything dangerous. If you are alive, live well!”
Xavier looked at her with cold eyes and mocked, “Are you afraid I’ll mess with Jonathan? Do you like him? So you do care about someone! Turns out it is just us that are not worthy!”
Estelle said coldly, “Don’t be so obstinate!”
“Don’t worry!” Xavier sneered, “I won’t tell anyone I know you, and I won’t interfere with you becoming Mrs. Lamont. You can go!”
Estelle knew that whatever she said now, he wouldn’t listen. She turned and walked out. After two steps, she couldn’t help but say, “Your family has always thought you were dead. You shouldn’t keep it from them. Go horne and see them when you have time!”
Xavier didn’t say anything, his face just got darker.)
After Estelle left, more than a dozen people in the stuffy warehouse stood up at once, staring at her maliciously. Estelle’s face remained unchanged, and she calmly walked out of the dim warehouse under the fierce gazes.
The bright sunlight suddenly fell, and Estelle looked at the bustling port not far in front of her. It was like she had experienced two different worlds in an instant.
And she came out from the darkness, still trying hard to live!
Not long after Estelle left, Austin found Xavier. As soon as he entered the door, he looked furious. “What’s going on with you guys? I paid you so much to help me watch the docks, but now the goods haven’t arrived on shore!”
Xavier leaned back in his chair, legs up on the table, and gave Austin a glance. He opened the drawer, took out the money, and threw it in front of Austin. “Take your money back, we’re not doing this deal!”
Austin’s eyes widened, “You’re quitting? Are you scared of Jonathan too?”
Xavier’s face was cold, “It has nothing to do with Jonathan. I just don’t want to do this deal. Go find someone else!”
“Where am I supposed to find someone else at this time?” Austin paced anxiously. “Xavier, when your brother got jailed for fighting, I helped you! get him out. You guys are all about loyalty. You can’t forget what I’ve done for you!”
Xavier looked at him indifferently, threw a small knife on the table, stretched out his right hand, and said, “You saved my brother’s life. I’ll pay you back with one hand. Feel free to chop it off!”
A strong man rushed in from outside the door, “Boss, let me repay the favor that I owed! Austin, chop my hand, and I won’t even frown!” After speaking, Zachary also put his hand on the table.
Austin widened his eyes, looked at Xavier and then at Zachary. His tone softened, “What do I need your hands for? Xavier, Mr. Flemmings! Please help me! I’m really out of options. I was too harsh with my words earlier, don’t take it personally!”
Xavier sat back in the chair. Austin handed him a cigarette and wanted to light it for him.

Xavier blocked it, “I’m not used to this kind of cigarette!”
He took out his own cigarette and lit it, looking cold, “I really can’t help you with this. Just go!”
