Xia Zhiwan shook her head, and her dispirited little face was filled with bitterness. "I'm such a failure. Not only do I not have the ability, but my father gave up on me, and my best friend and fiance also betrayed me. Am I not worthy of being loved?"
"Shh." The man pressed her lips in disapproval.
It was as if Issac's usually icy cold heart was melted into a puddle of water by Xia Zhiwan's warm tears. Nonetheless, even if it did turn into that, it would still be filled with her reflection.
Upon seeing her belittle herself, his heart hurt as if someone slashed it with a knife.
The person Issac held so precious was weak yet also strong. She had gone through so many difficulties that she almost lost her confidence.
She was someone that even he could not bear to bully, but those people treated her so cruelly that they should just die!
Issac hugged the crying woman in his arms tightly and comforted her. He used his strong, warm shoulders to support her.
"Don't cry. I'll be the one who'll love you, so you don't need to please anyone!"
He then kissed her forehead as an oath.
Yes, she did not have to please anyone, nor would she need to be sad because of those bastards! Xia Zhiwan opened her teary eyes, feeling relieved and shy.
Issac hoped that her beautiful eyes would only cry for him.
...
At the first floor's lobby, Xia Zhiya was escorted out by two security guards on each side.
Everyone was shocked to see this scene, and some of them were secretly sneering. How did the elegant, proud deputy manager fall to this point?
"How can you drive me away like this?! I want to go in and see my dad!"
"Miss Xia, you've already been fired. Irrelevant personnel are not allowed to enter the company." The company's security guards were just doing their jobs.
'Even a little security guard dares to bully me?!'
Xia Zhiya gritted her teeth. She then pointed at them and shouted like a lunatic.
"I'm the Xia family's Second Miss! This is my family's company! You guys are nothing but two guard dogs, so what's with that arrogance?!"
The commotion she caused was so much that the passing employees could not help but take a look. Then, someone notified the president about her.
Xia Dengfeng appeared with a gloomy expression and quickly took her away. It was as if any more of her appearance would make him lose more of his reputation.
He threw her onto the couch roughly. Xia Dengfeng kept a distance from her and asked coldly.
"What are you planning to do?! Do you think that you haven't caused enough commotion in the company?!"
Xia Dengfeng had left the meeting earlier because he could not take it anymore. However, he had known about the board of directors' decision for her and the shameless things she had done.
Xia Zhiya rubbed her painful hand as she held back her anger that she wanted to vent on Xia Dengfeng.
After all, only her father could be her support at that moment. She could no longer be stubborn.
"Dad, that video was originally a video of Xia Zhiwan using dirty tactics, but someone else fiddled with it!"
After calming down, Xia Zhiya could guess who deliberately betrayed her.
'Isn't he the only one who had access to this USB and was in contact with me? However, he already made a deal with me, right? Why did he suddenly turn his back on me?'
'Could it be that he was convinced by Xia Zhiwan after sleeping with her last night? Was that why he turned his back on me?'
The more Xia Zhiya thought about it, the more she was convinced this was the case. This woman, Xia Zhiwan, really was a fraud who knew how to put on an act! Xia Zhiwan seemed pure and innocent, but she was actually scheming against her!
Facing her 'sincere' explanation, Xia Dengfeng sneered.
"I didn't witness what Xia Zhiwan did, so I can't give any comments. However, how could you be filmed if you didn't do such a thing with He Tianhao?"
Regardless of whether Xia Zhiwan had used any dirty tactics, this could not conceal the fact that Xia Zhiya indeed had an affair with He Tianhao. She even wanted to deliberately harm Xia Zhiwan!
After he stopped being biased toward his younger daughter, Xia Dengfeng's mind became clear. It was as if he had seen through all her thoughts.
Xia Zhiya pouted and emphasized with a soft voice, "Nonetheless, He Tianhao and I are in love! He only proposed to Xia Zhiwan reluctantly because he thought she would become the successor!"
Xia Dengfeng sneered. "Then do you think that he'll truly love you?"
Xia Zhiya's expression immediately worsened as she was questioned by him. Indeed, she should not have any expectations for a man who had abandoned a woman before.
Nonetheless, they were almost the same. It was not like Xia Zhiya did not plan on taking advantage of him.
All of this stemmed from Xia Zhiya's deep jealousy toward Xia Zhiwan and her dissatisfaction with her own identity!
