Zena nodded and then smiled faintly, "Well..." She pursed her lips, "Is Xavier... all right?"
Elizabeth was stunned, and then replied, "Mm."
"I knew he would be all right." Zena sighed. The smile on face was somewhat bitter.
Regardless of whether Elizabeth was interested in listening or not, Zena said directly, "Thinking of the past and my present, I feel that it is like a dream. In the past few years, Xavier... lived a hard life. I know it all."
"At that time, in order to get him, it could be said that I used all kinds of methods. But... I did the wrong thing. Once people start to do a wrong thing, what they do next will all be wrong, except for the day when they come forward to admit their mistakes."
"It has been so many years. Perhaps you don't believe me, but in the first few years, I felt guilty and sorry for him. However, at the same time, I thought that it was worth it, because I could accompany him by his side and chat with him, although he looked so painful..."
"People are all selfish, and I am not an exception." Zena sighed lightly, "Later, I let go of it slowly. I wanted to forget the terrible thing I had done and live a good life with him as if I didn't know anything, because at that time, except for drawing and me, he seemed to have nothing left."
"I finally got him after putting in a lot of effort." Saying this, Zena smiled faintly. She seemed to be happy but satisfied.
Elizabeth frowned, "No matter what means you used, you got him, but you didn't cherish him."
Zena not only didn't cherish Xavier, but also shifted the blame onto James and cast a bone between between James and Xavier. The most important thing was that Zena was the one who wanted to break up with Xavier.
As for other things, James did not tell her much. He just said simply that Zena had done something wrong and betrayed Xavier.
They were all adults and naturally understood what "betray" meant.
When she heard James's words, she was shocked for a long time before she came to sense, and she hated Zena more.
"Yeah." Zena nodded and closed her eyes with melancholy, "So, I'm a bad woman. Look at me now... ha-ha..."
"How about Jimmy? Is he all right?"
Recalling the past, Elizabeth said a bit indifferently, "He's so good without being disturbed by you."
Hearing this, Zena smiled and nodded, "I grew up with him. He was very kind to me in the past. Although he did that to me later... Perhaps I hated him very much before because he took away everything from me and even ruined my career. But now, I don't hate him anymore."
"After all, we have known each other for a long time. He used to treat me with sincerity. I did something unpleasant to him and you before. You... just take it as a dream and forget it."
Elizabeth was silent and thought in heart, "I really don't need you to tell me this."
