Chapter 255: Chapter 255
After Julian Hawthorne had his episode, he easily became fatigued and soon fell asleep.
Once he fell asleep, Paige Sterling tidied things up and prepared to leave.
Burt Chambers saw this and asked Paige Sterling, "Where are you going?"
Paige Sterling said with a deadpan expression, uttering words full of righteousness, "A few days ago, I hit Austin Xavier. Later, I thought about it. Our families have been acquaintances after all, yet I went and beat him up like that. I really feel guilty, so today I plan to go over and apologize."
Burt Chambers was dumbfounded, unable to believe Paige Sterling had a sense of guilt after hitting someone and actually wanted to apologize?
And now that Julian Hawthorne was in such a state, how could she think of going to apologize to Austin Xavier instead?
Burt Chambers smelled something fishy.
"Then why are you carrying a hammer?"
"It’s handy to carry."
It’s handy to carry...
What terrifying four words those are.
Burt Chambers already foresaw the tragic outcome awaiting Austin Xavier, and how could such a historic moment not include Burt Chambers?
So Burt Chambers followed along behind Paige Sterling, wanting to watch.
Currently, Austin Xavier was staying in the hospital; he was so injured by Paige Sterling that he had to be hospitalized.
Who knows how many times Paige Sterling had landed him in the hospital, but Summer Xavier was already used to frequently seeing her brother in the hospital.
She always felt that the more her brother got pummeled by Paige Sterling, the more unable he seemed to distance himself from her.
However, reason told Austin Xavier that staying away from Paige Sterling was the wise choice, otherwise one day he might really not function properly.
Yet to let go, he was unable to do so.
Therefore today, he was discharged and took a trip to the airport.
Originally, he could have asked someone else to handle this, but he wanted to see with his own eyes Julian Hawthorne during an episode.
Seeing Julian Hawthorne being miserably escorted away by Secretary Jones in the end, he finally felt a bit of satisfaction.
The closer Paige Sterling got to the hospital, the stronger the murderous aura on her face seemed to grow.
Burt Chambers feared Paige Sterling might accidentally cause a fatality and gently advised, "Sis, maybe we should think this over?"
"What are you afraid of? What can Austin Xavier do to me?"
Burt Chambers spoke frankly, "Sis, why do you think like that? I only fear you might do something to him."
Paige Sterling looked at Burt Chambers, "Am I the kind of person who stirs up trouble for no reason? Is that how you see me? I’m truly disappointed in you as my brother! When we get home, solve fifty more problems."
History taught him not to doubt Paige Sterling’s kindness, yet why wouldn’t he listen, boohoo?
"So you really won’t hit Austin Xavier again?"
Paige Sterling said coldly, "Of course not, I’ve already said I’m not someone who looks for trouble."
If someone else starts trouble, that’s another matter.
However, the more Paige Sterling said this, the more Burt Chambers knew she was holding something big inside.
The kind of big move that could inadvertently cause a bloodbath.
Probably knowing that Paige Sterling would come to settle accounts, several bodyguards were stationed outside Austin Xavier’s hospital room.
Moreover, the girl named Rose Payne had also come to visit him.
And when Rose Payne saw Paige Sterling, her gaze was full of hostility.
If it weren’t for Paige Sterling, the culprit, how would Austin Xavier be hospitalized now?
She would dare show up at the hospital?
Rose Payne immediately blocked Paige Sterling, asking unhappily, "Miss Sterling, what are you here for?"
Paige Sterling gave her a casual glance, "Move aside."
This tone made Rose Payne very uncomfortable, "Miss Sterling, could you speak more politely, I owe you nothing, you..."
Burt Chambers stepped forward, quickly pushing Rose Payne aside, allowing Paige Sterling to move forward, while the bodyguards blocked her.
Rose Payne chuckled, "Miss Sterling, did you see that? Don’t you get it? You’re not welcome here!"
At this time, Austin Xavier spoke from the hospital room, "Make her leave."
Rose Payne’s smile widened, "Miss Sterling, Young Master Xavier said you should leave, I think you’d better go and stop disgracing yourself here. Young Master doesn’t want to see you most of all right now."
Then she directed the bodyguards as if ordering her own henchmen, "What are you standing around for? Didn’t you hear Young Master’s orders? Hurry up and eject this woman, don’t let her disturb Young Master’s rest."
However, a bodyguard came out from the hospital room, opened the door, and said to Paige Sterling, "Miss Sterling, please come in."
Rose Payne was flabbergasted, "Didn’t you hear Young Master saying to make her leave? You’re inviting her in instead?"
The bodyguard said, "Miss Payne, Young Master was telling you to leave."
Rose Payne’s face instantly turned red, and then her eyes welled up.
She had personally brewed soup to care for Austin Xavier in the hospital.
Yet Austin Xavier treated her .
She gritted her teeth and refused to leave.
At this time, Paige Sterling entered the room, and Rose Payne instinctively wanted to follow.
If Paige Sterling could go in, why couldn’t she?
She had to go in to make sure Young Master was not bullied by this woman, and also to make him see clearly that this woman was not worthy of him.
However, once Paige Sterling went in, the bodyguard immediately blocked her, and then the bodyguard came out and conveniently shut the door.
Rose Payne looked displeased, "Why aren’t you letting me in? Don’t you know that woman is violent? Young Master got beaten up by her, and now it’s very dangerous for him to be alone with her. If anything happens, can you take responsibility?"
The bodyguard said expressionlessly, "This is Young Master’s intention, Miss Payne, Young Master doesn’t want to see you. Please leave."
Austin Xavier wasn’t worried about getting hit, why was this woman so concerned?
"Impossible, how could Young Master not want to see me? Is this really your intention or Young Master’s? Have you been bribed by that violent woman to watch Young Master get tormented by that violent woman?"
Finished, she discontentedly tried to push the bodyguard, "Get out of my way, I want to go in and save Young Master!"
The bodyguard stood motionless, and Rose Payne said furiously, "Move aside, don’t you hear me!"
The bodyguard continued to ignore her and simply stood there dutifully without speaking.
Rose Payne’s face turned uglier. Now even a bodyguard dared treat her , on what grounds?
Simply because she lacked backing. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝙣𝙚𝙩
But it didn’t matter, Rose Payne thought to herself, someday Austin Xavier would realize who truly loved him, who would accompany him to the end, and he would someday marry her grandly.
Then she would recover all the humiliation she suffered from those who oppressed her today.
Especially these bribed bodyguards of Paige Sterling, she would let them know the consequences of betraying Austin Xavier!
Thinking of this, Rose Payne smiled again and said to the bodyguard, "I’m sorry, Mr. Bodyguard, I was just too worried about Young Master, I spoke carelessly before, please don’t hold it against me."
The bodyguard still remained unmoved.
At this time, Rose Payne’s phone rang.
She was working several part-time jobs, and should’ve been working now. Her supervisor called to scold her and urged her to return at once.
Rose Payne responded politely, but was frustrated inside.
Just a part-time job, how dare it demand so much from her with such low pay? If it weren’t for gaining life experience, she wouldn’t work so hard.
After all, she was destined to marry into the Xavier family one day.
Reflecting on her current hardship, her future could make Austin Xavier feel compassion. Rose Payne felt all her hard work now was worthwhile.
She promised the supervisor to return to work immediately, yet she still worried about Austin Xavier and repeatedly instructed the bodyguards to protect Austin Xavier well.
