Chapter 88
Just listening to it made me feel shocked. I had suspected things weren’t that simple, but I hadn’t anticipated such a major issue.
I couldn’t help but look at Xander.“Isn’t there going to be a major reshuffle here?” If the factory was like this, there must be people within the company too; otherwise, they couldn’t have done it so seamlessly, operating secretly under Anna’s nose without being discovered.
“There will indeed be a major reshuffle,” Xander nodded. “The factory’s performance has always been mediocre, and I intended to reorganize it; now it’s even more justified. It’s not a bad thing.”
After he said that, I suddenly felt like I was a hawk under the prince’s command. Sniffing around, always looking for people to kill.
Outside, Jason came in. His face wasn’t good to begin with, and seeing Xander again, it turned
even darker.
“Mr. Shaw, you come to see another werewolf’s partner every day. What’s your intention?”
I took a deep breath.“Jason, are you sick?!”
Xander was calm and composed. “I’m here to see how my subordinate is recovering. After all, she was injured because of me.”
There was nothing wrong with these words, but they still felt strange.
Jason’s temples throbbed.“Listen clearly, she is my omega. She’s mine in life and death. Anyone who dares to have designs on her, I’ll kill them.”
Xander just smiled wryly at Jason’s words. He didn’t say a word, yet it felt somehow provocative… as if Jason had told a joke that amused him.
Jason seemed to understand the meaning in his smile and became even angrier.
Zane was sweating.“Mr. Winter, you really misunderstood. We’re simply here to visit; there’s no other intention. Also, Mr. Shaw is not a playboy; he’s a righteous gentleman. I can guarantee that he absolutely has no designs on Sophia.”
Xander glanced coldly at Zane.
I was extremely embarrassed. I didn’t want to explain to Jason, but I couldn’t let Xander be unjustly accused.“Jason, would you please stop being neurotic? Mr. Shaw doesn’t have any interest in me. He doesn’t even like female werewolves!”
Xander:…
Jason:…

That last sentence successfully silenced the entire world.
After a while, Xander said with an expression of slight appreciation and speechless exasperation, “Sophia, thank you for the publicity. I really should reward you properly.”
After speaking, he got up and left.

I realized what I’d done and quickly tried to rectify it.“I didn’t mean you like male werewolves; I
meant…”
“Bang!”
The door closed. I shut my mouth.
Jason narrowed his eyes suspiciously.“Xander is gay? He doesn’t look like it.”
The veins in my temple throbbed.“Jason, we’re over. Even if you’re delaying the bonding severance proceeding, we’re over! Stop calling me your partner, your omega or your thing! I’m not anyone’s omega, I’m my own werewolf!”
“Unless I die, we’ll never be over,” Jason said fiercely, as if he were carving the words into bones, letting me know that he was more determined than I was.
I was determined to leave him. He was just as determined not to let me go.

The next morning. Zane came to the hospital to settle the medical bill and handle the discharge procedures. He came with the driver to pick me up. He was actually under a lot of pressure, but he still went in.
“Why take his plane? The Winter family has one; you don’t need to send her,” Mr. Shaw of Winter family said upon hearing that they were here to take me to the airport. He waved his hand in refusal.
