The more Xavier spoke, the more anxious he became. He swore, “I swear to you that I, Xavier, will be loyal to you for the rest of my life.”

Bailey lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. Then, she looked up at Xavier and said angrily, “Then swear that you can only have one woman in your life, and that’s me. Otherwise, you won’t have any descendants.”

Xavier’s heart trembled. He did not expect Bailey to say such a thing. He was instantly dissatisfied. He was the only son of the Stewart family’s nine generations. He still had to carry on the family line. Why was Bailey so ruthless?

Seeing Xavier’s hesitant expression, Bailey instantly said angrily, “Look, you still said that you aren’t guilty. If you don’t feel guilty in your heart, why don’t you dare to swear?”

Xavier muttered in his heart. He believed in science. All oaths were feudal superstitions. After some psychological preparation, he raised three fingers to his ear and swore, “I, Xavier, swear that I will only have one woman in my life, Bailey. If I break this oath, I will not have any descendants.”

Only then did Bailey’s face reveal an expression of venting her anger successfully. Xavier immediately smiled and said fawningly, “Bailey, does that mean that the breakup you said just now doesn’t count?”

At this moment, some weeds in the corner moved. Bailey only glanced at that place and smiled.

Seeing that Bailey did not answer him, Xavier panicked. “Bailey, our engagement will be held as scheduled, right?”

A hint of mockery flashed across Bailey’s eyes as she said, “Although you’ve sworn, I’m still angry. In short, we’ve broken up now. As for the engagement, it depends on my mood.”

Xavier’s nervousness instantly subsided. It was obvious from Bailey’s current state that she had relented and there was still room for negotiation.

Xavier quickly said, “Don’t worry. I’ll investigate what’s going on and clear my name. In short, as long as you believe me, believe that I won’t betray you.”

Bailey did not comment. She only nodded and said, “Then go and investigate now. I can’t wait. Every second I wait makes me unhappy.”

Xavier nodded repeatedly and said, “Okay, I’ll go now. I’ll pick you up after the banquet ends.”

After such a thing happened, Xavier did not want to continue showing his face at the banquet. The best solution to such incidents was for him and Bailey to get married in the end. This way, he could prove his innocence.

Bailey refused. “No need. Uncle Ben will send me back. I have to think about whether I should continue my relationship with you over the next few days.”

Xavier nodded and tried his best to follow Bailey’s instructions. He said, “Yes, yes, Bailey, follow your heart. I believe that in the end, you will realize that I am the true love for you.”

Bailey felt that if Xavier didn’t leave soon, she wouldn’t be able to help but vomit. How could there be a sanctimonious person like Xavier in this world who was full of lies?

After Xavier left, Bailey took out the necklace in her hand and smiled brightly. Then, she turned to the direction of the sound just now and said teasingly, “Little mouse in the corner, it’s not good to eavesdrop so much, right?”

Zachary coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment. Then, he walked up to Bailey with an aura that he did nothing wrong and said, “I was standing there openly. It was your filthy words that had been invading my ears.”

Bailey looked at Zachary’s arrogant expression and couldn’t help but laugh. “Is that so? Then why didn’t you leave? It doesn’t seem like a gentleman to stay when you know that someone is talking here.”

Zachary felt a little embarrassed, but in front of one’s opponent, no one could admit defeat. Hence, he said firmly, “Gentleman? We’ve fought for so many years. When did you think I looked like a gentleman?”

Bailey, on the other hand, was amused by Zachary’s answer. Thinking about it, it made sense. If Zachary was living in the ancient martial arts world, he would be a person who was both good and evil. His methods were ruthless and he did not recognize or bother about anyone. No matter how scheming Bailey was, she still suffered a lot.

Bailey nodded in agreement. Her good-looking eyes looked straight into Zachary’s deep eyes and she said teasingly and seriously, “Yes, yes, yes. You’re not a gentleman. You’re… a little lunatic!”

You’re my little lunatic, Bailey added in her heart.

Zachary was frightened by the intimacy in Bailey’s eyes. Bailey’s good-looking eyes were no longer as sharp as before. Instead, they were filled with smiles and tenderness, making Zachary’s heart skip a beat.
