Never Let You Off
“All right! Let’s head in!”
Ysabelle and Sophie found Xandra in the bedroom. Her skin was littered with hickeys, and she had a fever.
“Oh my gosh! Sophie, did Xandra get into trouble with a bad person? If not, why does she look like this?”
Sophie left the bedroom to look for fever medicine in Xandra’s house. When she found it, she hurried back and fed
the medicine to Xandra before helping her to drink water.
Ysabelle said nothing more when she saw how calm Sophie was. She stood in a corner and waited patiently until
Sophie was done.
Then, the two of them went to the living room. Sophie called The Crown for food delivery before she and Ysabelle
sat on the couch to scroll through their phones.
Ysabelle was scrolling and reading through the news about Fandar. Despite not calling Felix, she still wanted to know
the situation at Fandar and how he was doing. She wanted to make sure he was all right.
Sophie received a call from Tristan. She stood up and went to the balcony to answer the call.
Tristan bombarded her with a series of questions when the call got through. “Didn’t we agree to meet for lunch?
Where are you? I’ve been waiting for you at Lombard Group. Do you know what time it is? Did you forget about
me?”
Sophie felt guilty. She had indeed forgotten about him and their lunch appointment. “I’m at Xandra’s place. She’s
running a fever, so I came to take care of her. Have you eaten? If you haven’t, do you want me to order food
delivery for you?”
“What does her being sick have anything to do with you? Just give Lucas a call and let him know about it,” Tristan
voiced his disappointment. How can she ignore me for those unimportant people?
“Xandra doesn’t want anything to do with Lucas anymore.” Sophie sighed. “All right, stop whining. I’ll go to Lombard
Group to look for you later.”

Sophie was surprised by Tristan’s reply. Is he giving me a chance to make it up to him?
“Okay, I’ll order something you like and have them deliver it to you. What do you like to eat?”
“Well, aren’t you an unqualified fiancée? Don’t you even know what I like? How unbelievable! I’m going to punish
you!”
“How do you want to punish me?” Sophie asked. Her curiosity was piqued.
“I haven’t thought about it. We’ll talk about this tonight!”
“Fine. I’ll hang up now and order food for you. You must finish everything, okay?”
“Okay.
After hanging up, Tristan still felt displeased. He immediately dialed Lucas’ number and exclaimed. “Your woman is
running a fever! If you have nothing else better to do, you better go take care of her yourself! Don’t take up my
woman’s time!”
He hung up after saying what he wanted to say without waiting for a response from Lucas.
Meanwhile, The Crown had delivered Sophie and Ysabelle’s food. After they ate, Sophie went into the bedroom to
check on Xandra.
Xandra’s fever slowly subsided. It was five in the afternoon when she finally woke up. She got up and left the
bedroom, jumping in surprise when she saw the two young women playing games in her living room.
“What the heck? How did the two of you get in? I don’t remember opening the door for you!” Xandra asked in
confusion.
“We were worried, so we came to visit you. Xandra, did you encounter a pervert? Those marks on your body look
scary!” Ysabelle was so focused on talking to Xandra that she got careless and had her character in the game killed
off.
“Sophie, he killed me. You must avenge me!”
“I’m fine,” Xandra muttered as she pulled her clothes tighter around her body. Lucas is such a beast! Jeez… He’s
indeed a pervert! Before we got a divorce, he never had any sexual urges toward me. Now that we’re separated,
he’s being aggressive. Who does he take me for?
“Xandra, we ordered you some chicken noodle soup. Come and have some. Ysabelle and I already ate. The rest is
yours. Oh, right. I know an excellent lawyer. If you need help, I can introduce him to you,” Sophie informed. Those
marks on her body must’ve been Lucas’ work. That guy is insatiable!
“Ahem.” Xandra cleared her throat. I don’t think such a thing requires a lawyer. “It’s all right. I can handle my own
affairs. You don’t have to worry about me.”
“Oh, is that so? All right, then. If you need it in the future, you can contact me anytime.”
Xandra was at a loss for words. I don’t need a lawyer at all.
After eating some chicken noodle soup, she felt more energetic.
“Nothing happened at the company while I was gone for the past few days, right?” That was what she was most
worried about. She was absent from the company because she had been too tired to go.
“Don’t worry! The company won’t go bankrupt!”
“Sophie, are you disappointed with me?” Xandra knew Sophie was aware of her situation with Lucas.
“Xandra, you’re overthinking it. I have nothing to say about your love life. What happens between you and Lucas
depends on your own feelings.”
No one else had the right to judge Xandra about her feelings.
Sophie felt that nothing mattered as long as Xandra was happy.
Xandra liked to spend time with Sophie because she could be at ease around the latter.
Sophie would never ask her questions and press her on her personal matters. However, when she needed help,
Sophie would always lend a hand.
Ysabelle was dumbfounded as she listened to Sophie and Xandra’s conversation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhat’s going on? I didn’t know Xandra and Lucas had such a past! This is the most shocking news I’ve heard today!
Just then, someone knocked at the front door.
Xandra was confused. What’s happening today? Why is my place a popular spot all of a sudden?
She went to open the door and saw Elena standing outside, looking disheveled.
Elena went crazy all of a sudden when she saw the hickeys on Xandra’s body.

“Xandra, how can you be so shameless? Aren’t you embarrassed of yourself? Didn’t the two of you break up? What
is all this?” Elena was furious. No wonder Lucas is ignoring me. It turns out Xandra had shamelessly seduced him!
Xandra furrowed her brows
“Elena, I’m warning you, don’t spout any nonsense here. I don’t like it.” She has nothing to do with whatever it is
between me and Lucas. She has no right to accuse me here.
“Xandra, did you forget how he bullied you? How can you be so pathetic? Have you forgotten all the hurt he caused
you?” Elena refused to accept the reality.
She had been by Lucas’ side for a long time, yet she still failed to make her way into his heart.
How can I accept this?
Elena seemed to have gone mad. She reached forward and shoved Xandra. As Xandra was weak and still
recovering, she fell to the ground immediately.
Sophie and Ysabelle hurried over when they heard the commotion at the front door. When they arrived, they saw
Xandra on the floor.
Elena was about to launch another attack when Sophie grabbed her arm and forcefully pushed her, causing her to
fall to the ground too.
Ysabelle helped Xandra up. “Xandra, are you all right? Are you injured anywhere?” she asked when she noticed how
pale the latter was.
“Ahhh!” Elena suddenly let out an ear-piercing scream.
“Xandra, I’m warning you, you are not allowed to be with Lucas. Otherwise, I won’t ever let you off!” At that point,
Elena could no longer remain in the entertainment industry. Lucas was all she had left.
