A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 1455

“Mr. Jackson, I've just received word that the men we assigned to spy on Lyna have been discovered and beaten...” the assistant said hesitantly after a brief pause.

As expected, Xavier was furious and glared at his assistant as he shouted, “What? Who did this?

How dare they lay a finger on my men!”

The Jackson family was one of the five prominent families, so it was perfectly understandable for him to get mad at being disrespected like that.

“From what I've heard, it was Fabian's men who did it,” his assistant said cautiously, fearing that Xavier would take his anger out on him.

“Fabian? Damn it, why is he always ruining things for me... When I get my hands on him, I'm going to..."

Xavier was so angry that he almost unleashed a string of vulgar curses, but held himself back when he remembered how his bad temper had always led to Fabian gaining the upper hand in almost all their previous confrontations.

“Heh... I know you're doing this for fear of me stealing Hannah from you... Weren't you really confident about it before? What, are you scared now? Fine, you want to go there? Two can play that game, so don't blame me for what I'm about to do!" Xavier muttered to himself with a smile after thinking it through.

He then turned towards his assistant and said, “Have a team of our elites spy on Lyna. If Fabian's men dare make another move, we'll just fight back!”

The assistant frowned for a moment before he replied, “Yes, Mr. Jackson.” “All right, you can go now. Keep me updated on this.”

Xavier was a little anxious about getting a lead on the death of Hannah's mom as he believed she would be grateful to him for it and end up falling for him if they spent enough time together.

Meanwhile, Hannah was sitting by herself in the bedroom with a sad look in her eyes.
