Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 278

Everleigh looked at his tired face and felt very guilty. Since he came back, she had been troubling him almost every day.

The next day, she watched the news on TV. Theodore and Josephine's incident had not yet blown over, and there didn't seem to be any end in sight.

The whole thing made her amused. Josephine had tried so hard to be the heiress of the Godfrey family, but in the end, her efforts were in vain.

She must be furious beyond words, and she was out for blood.

Everleigh knew her well. Obviously, Josephine was in a rage and she wanted to find a solution, but she couldn't.

Meanwhile, Josephine flipped through all her contacts on her phone and found no one who could aid her in her situation. Then, her fingers stopped at Xavier's name.

She almost forgot that he was an enemy to the Godfrey family, and she wondered if he would help her.

As she thought about it, her hand pressed the call button.

Soon, the call was connected and there came a lazy and cold voice from the other side. Every time Josephine heard his voice, she felt chills run down her spine.

"It's me."

"Are you out of ideas?"

"Now that you know, I won't beat around the bush. I have nothing left now."

"What do you want? Surely you don't think that I'm gonna help, do you?" Xavier asked ironically.

Josephine's face froze and she became furious. "Xavier, do you think you're blameless for my current situation? It's your business that you hate the Godfrey family, but I'm innocent."

"Innocent? If this hadn't happened, I wouldn't have known that you did that to Everleigh in the past." Xavier's voice rang out upon hearing her words, showering her with ice.

She felt the chill in her bones all the way to her soul.

Then, he continued, "Did you forget how I ended up in my current state?"

She paused for a moment. How could she forget that Xavier was also disabled because of the incident? However, she did not mean to hurt him.

Why...

"When that happened to Everleigh, everyone thought I was the culprit behind it. Don't you know what I have been through all those years? I thought people like you would be of help to me, but I didn't expect you to be the wolf in sheep's clothing."

Josephine listened to his accusations and panicked, "How... How would I know..."

"Right now, I'm starting to suspect that you know the inside story of what happened back then." Xavier clutched the wheelchair tightly with both hands. His eyes widened with hatred.

She broke out in cold sweat. She hadn't expected him to think so much.

But it wasn't her.

"It is not what you think. I am innocent."

"Don't say that to me, Josephine. You're in this state because of your own mistakes. It seems that you definitely won't be taking over the position of the heiress to the Godfrey family." Xavier sneered, and his harsh words conveyed his message clearly to her.

Hence, Josephine didn't want to listen to him anymore, so she hung up the phone right away. She was afraid that if she continued, he would hold another grudge against her and make things worse.

Meanwhile, Xavier was livid. He smashed everything within sight, and his shouts of grief and indignation could be heard all around the room.

The butler downstairs could not help but shiver in fear. Mr. Xavier's temper was getting weirder day by day.

When Everleigh was discharged from the hospital, Christopher was fussing over her. Stainley wanted to help, but Christopher refused him. The reason he gave was that his father- in- law was watching, so he had to prove his worth.

Hence, Stainley was taken aback as he didn't expect him to say such a thing.

Everleigh also felt that she didn't want to trouble Stainley either. "You'd better get some rest."
