Chapter 360
Chapter 360
Watching Skyla’s face turn ashen, Gavin thought of Mrs. Young’s brutal death.
After hearing what he had said, Skyla froze.
She had planned everything so carefully for one reason. She couldn’t let Chris find out.
If he learned that her legs had never been disabled, what would he think of her?
She would no longer be his savior.
The only bond between them would be severed.
That was why she had kept pretending ever since the car accident. She had pretended for so long that sometimes even she almost forgot she was healthy. That she could walk.
She had lived in such humiliation for one purpose alone. She wanted Chris to feel guilty. She wanted him to treat
her a little better.
So why did these people have to expose her?
Suddenly, a cold gleam flashed in her eyes. Her hand shot to the back of her waist and pulled out a switchblade. The blade snapped open, and she lunged at Gavin with startling speed.
She moved so fast that the bodyguards around them were caught off guard.
The moment Skyla attacked with the knife, Gavin reacted. He caught her wrist, twisted with precise force, and stripped the strength from her hand. The switchblade clattered to the ground.
The next second, Skyla swung at him with her other hand.
After two quick exchanges, Gavin’s dark brown eyes narrowed slightly.
Skyla was a better fighter than he had expected.
But only slightly.
A moment later, Skyla was in handcuffs.
She struggled and shouted, “So when you told me Chris had found someone better suited than me, that was a lie. You said it to force me into making a move, didn’t you p>
Otherwise, Gavin and his men wouldn’t have been waiting for her here.
It had all been planned.
Skyla suddenly burst out laughing. “So it was a lie. That means I’m still the person Chris needs most.
Her expression turned dark and vicious.
“I’m still more important than Winter, aren’t I? Chris still needs my blood, so he’ll protect me. I still matter more
than Winter.
“I’m the most important person in Chris’s heart. Winter can’t compare to me. She can’t p>
Listening to her hysterical rambling, Gavin’s expressionless face finally showed a trace of contempt.
“You’re only humiliating yourself. There isn’t a single thing about you that can compare to Mrs. Xander p>
“No.” Skyla screamed, her face twisting as she glared at Gavin. “Winter is not Mrs. Xander p>

She had heard it herself that day. In front of all the guests at the memorial, Chris had said there was no Mrs. Xander in the family. He had refused to acknowledge Winter as his wife.
“Aren’t you just Chris’s loyal dog?” she snapped. “Didn’t you hear what he said? He said there was no Mrs. Xander in the Xander family. Winter is not his wife p>
Gavin said calmly, “Does that really matter? She is the only woman Mr. Xander has ever chosen p>
Then he added, “Didn’t you ask where Mr. Xander has been these past two days p>
Gavin scraped the mud from the sole of his boot and looked at her coldly.
“He took Mrs. Xander away for a private getaway. I imagine he has been very happy these past two days p>
Panic and pain surged across Skyla’s face.
“What did you say p>
A private getaway.
“No. Impossible p>
She lowered her head and muttered, “That’s impossible. Doesn’t Winter hate him? Isn’t there hatred between them? Why doesn’t Chris hate her? Why doesn’t he hate her p>
“Mr. Xander does hate her,” Gavin said. “But he loves her more p>
With that, he waved a hand, signaling for the bodyguards to take her to the car.
Skyla struggled violently, the handcuffs clinking.
“I want to see Chris. I want to see him p>
Gavin’s voice was cold. “You are of no use to Mr. Xander anymore. He will not see you again p>
Skyla suddenly gave a strange little smile.
“Who says I’m useless p>
