Chapter 857
Geoffrey looked intently at his ex-wife. After a long time, he went to the couch and sat down with his legs crossed, looking ever so relaxed and laid- back.
"You should know why I did what I did, shouldn't you?"
"She told the truth, which angered you. I didn't expect you to be so petty and unreceptive to truth coming from even your very own daughter." Geoffrey's brows furrowed as anger burned in his chest.
He smirked. "Xyla, you should know this. If she weren't my daughter, do you really think she'd still be alive and well enough to complain to you? It's precisely because she's my daughter that she is still well and alive right now."
Xyla shook with anger. "Do you mean to say that she should in fact be grateful that you didn't kill her?"
"She's my daughter, but we're also divorced. Whatever I do, no one has the right to comment. What does Yvonne know? You've thoroughly spoiled her and made her a princess with a quick temper."
"Haha..." Xyla laughed. "I spoiled Vonnie? Or should I raise her in the way you raise Sebastian? Geoffrey Carter, you surely know better than I do the kind of person you are. I don't care how you treat your own son, but Vonnie is my daughter. I gave birth to and raised her. I'm warning you if you dare touch so much as a finger of hers, I'll be nasty!"
Xyla had never flared up so fiercely before. Over the many years of their marriage, she had always been calm and collected.
Even when she divorced Geoffrey, she never failed to be calm and kept her temper in check.
This was Geoffrey's first time seeing Xyla so angry.
"In that case, you should tell Yvonne clearly not to provoke me and not judge her father's private life. Or else, I can't promise what will happen the next time."ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
"Geoffrey Carter! I want you to guarantee this!" Xyla said, raising her voice. "No matter what Vonnie wants to do, you'll never touch her. If you dare hurt her, I can't promise either what I will do to you!"
She took a step forward. "Don't forget how you managed to earn everything you own today. No matter how impressive you become, don't ever behave too arrogant before the Jacksons. Just as we can lift you up, we can drag you down as easily too."
Geoffrey's brows were tightly-knit as his eyes turned cold.
Xyla went on, might have kept my peace over the years, but if you force me into a corner, I'm capable of anything Vonnie is my darling daughter. If I see you hurting her again, I'll make sure to involve
Sydney Harper as well, not to

"Xyla Jackson!" Geoffrey stood up, and bit out furiously, "This has nothing to do with Syd! Don't make her a target."
Xyla tilted her chin up, and said coldly, "So anxious over her? Seems like you still love her a lot. That's great. Mark my words!"
Things had come to this point, and Xyla had no other choice. She had tolerated things for too long and thought that everything had finally come to an end.
Yet, she didn't expect to end up seeing Geoffrey this way.
She couldn't believe what he did to his own daughter-he actually strangled her and almost took her life!
As much as Xyla could tolerate things, she certainly couldn't tolerate something like this.
"Must you threaten me like this?" Geoffrey asked angrily.
"Yes, I am threatening you, since you don't seem to understand what I'm saying."
She couldn't believe he would hurt his own daughter.
"Xyla, the most I can promise you is to not lay a finger on Yvonne as long as she doesn't provoke me. However you have to watch your own daughter. If she dares shoot her mouth off or do something extreme before me again, I can promise you that even you, as her mother, won't be able to protect her."
Xyla took a deep breath before turning to leave his office.
