Chapter 95: Consequences (3)
"If you didn’t want what you did out then your wife shouldn’t have been talking so much. Why have an affair in the first place if you were going to be this way? Then she had the nerve to make Gabriel out to be the bad guy," said Oliver.
Oliver liked that the town was seeing Selene’s true ways. She wasn’t innocent in all of this. It was high time that Selene knew her place. He always disliked the money and status she had in the past. Having to go to her for help was insulting.
"I didn’t know Gabriel had such an admirer. You are out to clear his name like a secret lover," Xavier said, not surprised by this. "Don’t look at me like that. I don’t judge what anyone decides to do with their time but I hope you have told your wife."
"I am not fond of him that way you bastard!" Oliver yelled, insulted by the accusation. "I am friends with Gabriel. It is only right that I help to clear his name."
"From what I know, you were friends with Selene. Was she not the one who helped you with your financial problems in the past?" Xavier asked.
Oliver gritted his teeth. "You shouldn’t believe everything she tells you."
"Selene didn’t have to say anything. I know how to gather what I need and many knew you were struggling. When your wife is seen doing work around the home others are bound to notice something is wrong. Lying on Selene was quite pointless since you are still struggling," Xavier said, eyeing the shabby carriage.
It hurt his eyes to look at it.
"You would have been better off coming to Selene for help than speaking poorly of her. Just to see her beg me for something, I would have made sure you were well taken care of but unfortunately, I never liked you from the first time I heard of you," said Xavier.
