"Did you think that Hannah is now safe just because you've apprehended Yvette?" Xavier asked Fabian a question of his own instead of answering his.
"So, you sent them here to protect her?" Fabian questioned coldly while staring at him even as his gaze darkened upon hearing his remark.
Naturally, Xavier could sense the hostility in his eyes, yet he wasn't at all bothered. "Of course," he replied without much care.
"Hah! Does my woman require your protection? What a joke! Look at those few withered men you brought over. If something truly happens, I'm afraid that they'll only be cannon fodder!"
All at once, vexation seized Fabian. Hannah and I are already married, yet he's still having designs
on her now? What an obstinate fool!
"Don't be too sure of that, Mr. Norton. If you can protect Hannah well, I naturally wouldn't be worried," Xavier murmured placidly.
"Hah! What do you mean by that, Mr. Jackson? Am I, the president of Phoenix Group, not comparable to you, Mr. Jackson Jr. of the Jackson Group?"
Of course, Fabian knew that he was implying that it was his inadequate consideration that led to the car crash during the wedding. Thus, he hit him where it hurt.
In truth, Xavier had only become the president of Jackson Group last year. Before that, his father felt that he wasn't capable of shouldering the responsibility yet, so he had always been dubbed as Mr. Jackson Jr. by others.
At that, Xavier was also incensed, and he panted in fury. Then, he harrumphed and snarled, "Hmph! You naturally know what I mean, Mr. Norton. Fine, I'll bring my men back. However, consider this my warning to you-if anything happens to Hannah, don't blame me for stealing her from you!"
After saying that, he left without a backward glance.
Meanwhile, Fabian merely stood there as a light breeze ruffled the hair on his temples. As he gazed at Xavier's retreating back, a meaningful smile manifested on his face, and he muttered, "Hah! So you want to steal my woman? How overly confident of you!"
