Chapter 1095
Zavier eyed her, âReally?â
Iris didnât know Zavier well, just heard he was a nutcase whoâd dare to do anything. Regardless of whether the rumors were true, keeping her distance from him and minimizing conversation was undoubtedly the smart move, âMr. Rivera, may I see my sister?â
âYou remember you have a sister?â That was rare, someone in the Blue family actually remembered Skyler, and remembered they were here for Skyler, âToo bad, your sister is now ashes.â
He pointed to a pile of ash in front, a grim smile on his face, âThis pile of ash is your sister. Your sister has become ash. Do you see it?â
Iris looked on, heartbroken She wanted to act nonchalant, but tears escaped her eyes.
Zavier watched her. She didnât seem to be putting on an act. Look at me.â Zavier said.
Iris did as told. There was not an ounce of light in this young girlâs eyes. Apart from their faces, she shared no similarities with Skyler.
Still, he said, âYou stay.
Iris said, âOkayâ
Hearing Zavier ask the girl to stay from a distance, Barbara and Bernard both wore relieved smiles.
Bernard said, âSo Zavier really does like girls like Skylerâ
Barbara was somewhat worried, âIris is like Skyler Quiet on the surface, but with a lot of thoughts in her head. I worry sheâll be as hard to control as her sister was.â
Bernard said, âWhatâs the problem with being hard to control? Do we have a better choice? Zavier likes this type, and chose her, can we make him change his mind?â Barbara said, âSkyler was really a piece of work. Iâve told her so many times to take good care of Zavier, not to have other ideas. She didnât listen, and ran off. I thought she came back this time to care for Zavier, instead she died.â
Bernard said, âAt least Zavier didnât get angry at us because of her actions.â
Barbara said, âItâs not that Zavier didnât get angry with us, but we made sufficient preparations, showed him the benefits. Otherwise, who knows what he wouldâve
done to us.â
Bernard said, âAs long as he continues to fund us, itâs fine.â
A bodyguard suddenly appeared behind them, âYou may leave now!â
Bernard and Barbara said, âOkay, weâll leave right away.â
They didnât dare hope that Zavier would invite them to stay for lunch.
After all these years, Zavier had never once invited them for a meal. He didnât even want to see them.
But what did that matter? As long as Zavier was willing to shell out money, help keep their company afloat, and ensure they could still move in high society, it was all good.
Before leaving, they took one last look at Zavier and Iris deep in the courtyard. Zavier seemed to be still talking, but they couldnât hear anymore.
Zavier was indeed still talking to Iris, âHow old are you?â
Iris said, âIâll be seventeen on the tenth of next month.â
She was still a minor, once again being offered up by the Blue family like a gift. Just like Skyler.
Zavier remembered, when Skyler was sent to the Rivera family, she was even younger than this girl. But Skylerâs eyes were very bright, full of vitality, always curious about things around her.
Zavier remembered, not long after Skyler came to the Rivera family, one day it was just the two of them at home. He was bored, so decided to water the plants She happened to be there too, so he called her over
He thought being a rich girl, she wouldnât do such things, but she was very adept, as if she did it often. His prank didnât work out, and he even lost interest in watering the flowers.
