 At that time, Xylia graduated from high school after taking the college entrance examination, coinciding with Tessa being found and reunited with the Schultz family.

 After that, Xylia became a superfluous presence in the Schultz family. Feeling dispirited, she traveled to Manedom for a vacation in an attempt to alleviate her mood.

 She stayed in Manedom for a week, and not a single member of the Schultz family called her during that

 time.

 One night, she went out for a walk, but in a secluded alley, she bumped into the injured Joshua.

 When Joshua first met her, his eyes were wary; he even grabbed a shard of a wine bottle from the street and was about to attack her.

 She was afraid and had intended to leave immediately.

 Just as Xylia turned around, she heard a bang behind her. Joshua copsed unconscious.

 Motivated by a sense of fellowship aspatriots, she brought him back to her rented apartment and treated

 his injuries.

 After Joshua woke up, he was quite wary of her. However, upon realizing that she had no intention of harming him, he gradually rxed,

 At that time, Joshua resembled a homeless person. He had no money and, when going out, would always wear a mask and sunsses. He was in a pitiful state.

 Joshua left on the day before Xylia returned to the country.

 Only a stack of small change remained.

 Xylia did not me him for leaving without saying goodbye; she simply felt empty again.

 When she woke up the next day, that sense of emptiness has be even worse.

 She washed up absent–mindedly and ate breakfast absent–mindedly.

 Leon had recently been upied with various engagements and had not been at home.

 Therefore, at the dining table now, apart from Xylia, only Kaden, Cyrus, and Hudson remained.

 The three brothers watched as Xylia ate her breakfast in an almost mechanical manner.

 Cyrus cleared his throat slightly and inquired with concern, “Xylia, are you worried about the surgery? Rest assured, Dr. Weiss is highly professional. Once you have recovered from the procedure, the wounds on your limbs will healpletely.”

 At the mention of surgery, Kaden and Hudson simultaneously looked at Cyrus.

 Chapter 158.

 “What surgery?” Hudson said in astonishment.

 Kaden furrowed his brows as well, looking at Cyrus with a serious expression.

 Cyrus suddenly realized that he had not yet informed his brothers about Xylia’s surgery.

 He spoke up and informed Kaden and Hudson about Perry’s n to perform surgery on Xylia.

 After hearing this, the two of them also began tofort Xylia. “Xylia, do not be afraid. We will be with you during the surgery.”

 They thought that Xylia was troubled because she was worried about the surgery.

 Xylia offered no exnation; she simply smiled and said, “I know that.”

 Suddenly, a sh of white light appeared in her mind, and suddenly, distant memories surged forth.

 During her time abroad that year, Joshua actually wore a mask and sunsses when going out to avoid

 someone.

 During that period, she vaguely sensed that someone was monitoring them.

 On one asion, when she was returning home alone, she saw a woman wearing a leather jacket and leather pants following her at the intersection. However, by the time Joshua arrived to pick her up, the woman had disappeared.

 Xylia was unsure whether that person was targeting her. However, she was certain that someone was secretly watching Joshua.

 Although the Garcia family maintained a low profile, Joshua was the sole heir of the Garcia Group.

 All prominent families had offended countless individuals.

 At that time, Joshua had already suffered such harm. Xylia wondered if someone was secretly watching his

 every move now.

 Xylia grew somewhat concerned about Joshua.

 The three brothers noticed that Xylia’splexion suddenly looked terrible.

 All eyes turned to her with concern.

 Xylia suddenly set down her utensils and said to them, “I’ve had enough. I have something to attend to, so I will step out for a while first.”

 Hudson hurriedly asked, “Where are you going? I just happen to be going out. Let me give you a ride.”

 He thought tha

 that she was in such a distracted state that she shouldn’t go out alone.

 Although he had a racingpetition to attend today, at that moment, Xylia took precedence.

 Xylia was going to the studio to arrange subsequent matters.

 She noticed the concern in Hudson’s expression and nodded.

 Hudson skipped breakfast and followed behind Xylia.

 Before leaving, he made a gesture to Kaden and Cyrus, indicating that he would take good care of Xylia.

 After Xylia and Hudson left, only Kaden and Cyrus remained in the dining room.

 Kaden looked at Cyrus and asked, “What do you think of Joshua Garcia?”

 “What?” Cyrus did not react at first; only after understanding the meaning of Kaden’s words did he respond, “He is indeed extremely attentive to Xylia, but his identity is far too dangerous.”

 Kaden did not respond.

 He only instructed Cyrus when both of them were about to leave for work. Assign bodyguards to secretly protect Xylia. Joshua Garcia has grown close to her, and it is uncertain when an incident might ur.”

 Seeing how serious Kaden was, Cyrus became serious as well. “Okay. I’ll take care of the hospital stuff too.” 

 Kaden nodded, and the two left the vi.

 As soon as Connor got up early in the morning, his expression turned extremely grim.

 Tessa had an event today; she rose early to dress up in formal attire.

 Once she had finished getting ready, she walked up to Connor. “Connor, do I look good like this?”

 The mermaid dress outlined her figure in a sexy and charming way, but because the dress was white, it added a touch of gentleness to her overall appearance.

 She appeared particrly joyful, as the event she attended today was the first she had participated in since joining the entertainment industry.

 But Connor sat on the sofa with a cold expression,pletely ignoring her questions; even when he looked up at her, his gaze was icy.

 Tessa noticed Connor’s indifference. The smile at the corner of her lips faded slightly. She looked at him in confusion. “What’s wrong?”

 Connor took out his phone and opened the pre–recorded audio.

 Xavier’s voice came through the phone. “That’s right. Sadie did abduct Xylia during her time in Jupiton, but this matter is in the past now, and Sadie has already been punished. What are you still suspicious about?*

 Xavier paused momentarily. He then restrained his overbearing demeanor, and his voice gradually weakened. “That’s right, Sadie was instigated by Tessa. It was Tessa who said that those who hurt her should be properly

 taught a lesson, and only then did Sadie go and kidnap Xylia.”

 Connor paused the recording and looked at Tessa.

 At that moment, Tessa’s face had already turned pale. After a few seconds, her expression turned serious as she looked at Connor. “Connor, what do you mean by this?”

 “Why did you do this?” Connor looked at her coldly.

 Tessa refused to admit it. “Sadie was bullied, and I justforted her. How was I supposed to know it was Xylia who bullied her? Besides, I never told Sadie to kidnap Xylia–so why are youing to me with usations?” 

 Connor looked at her and said, “Tessa, do not make me reveal all the evidence. Just answer my questions.”

 Tessa was now fullymitted. 

 She had not expected that Connor would actually investigate her.

 Her eyes brimmed with tears.

 In the past, whenever she felt even slightly wronged, Connor would feel distressed for a long time. Now, however, he remained unmoved even when faced with her face on the verge of tears.

 Connor stood up, walked over to Tessa, and continued his questioning. “A month ago, I locked Xylia in the basement. Was it you who released the wasps, intending to harm her?”
