They Declared the War God Dead

Chapter 009

As Xavier returned to the Lewis family courtyard, he heard Lucy's scolding voice, "I said we shouldn't let that ungrateful wretch Xavier come back, but you insisted on agreeing. Look, yesterday he hit Mr. Rivers, and today he hit another influential young man, and even Cheryl got hit."

"He's nothing but a trouble magnet. Later, when he goes to the main house for dinner, he's sure to get scolded by the matriarch."

"Sigh..."

She let out a weary sigh, and the excitement from the gifts sent by Daniel was gone at the thought of the impending scolding from the matriarch.

"Mom, I know very well who was right and who was wrong last night."

Sophie, holding Sienna, said coldly, "Today's incident was Xavier's fault. I'll make him apologize to Cheryl."

"Mommy, Daddy wasn't wrong."

At this moment, little Sienna looked up and said, "Aunt Cheryl was the one who first called me a little monster, that's why Daddy got angry. That uncle said bad things about Mommy, and that's why Daddy hit him."

"What? It was because he said bad things about Mommy..." Sophie's face was full of anger and she was taken aback.

"What do you know, little girl? It must be Xavier who told you to lie and deceive," Lucy snapped angrily.

"Sienna didn't lie, Sienna doesn't deceive..." The little girl pouted, on the verge of tears from feeling wronged.

"Little girl, shut up."

Lucy sharply reprimanded, frightening the already timid little girl into bursting into tears.

Sophie was about to comfort her daughter when Xavier stormed in angrily from outside, "My daughter didn't lie! How can an adult bully her like this? You are unworthy of being her grandmother."

Xavier took his daughter from Sophie's arms and turned to leave, "If you don't care for my daughter, I will."

Sophie stood there, stunned, while Lucy, after being glared at by Xavier, felt a bit scared. Only after Xavier left did she mutter under her breath, "That ungrateful wretch has indeed changed, daring to give me such a look, and I'm his mother-in-law."

"Have you ever considered yourself his mother-in-law? Have you considered yourself Sienna's grandmother?"

Sophie suddenly stood up, looking at Lucy with disappointment, "Mom, you've gone too far."

Then she hurriedly chased after him.

"Damn it, even my daughter was taken away by him. I said we shouldn't let him into the house..."

Lucy sat there lamenting loudly.

Sophie ignored her and went straight out, catching up with Xavier.

She saw Xavier playing with little Sienna, making the little girl laugh very happily.

Sophie's steps slowed, her heart skipped a beat. For five years, from the time her daughter was born until now, she had been busy with work, leaving her daughter in the care of her parents. It seemed she had never seen her daughter smile so happily.

Gritting her teeth, she caught up, "Xavier, where are you going? Where can you go?"

"I'm taking my daughter out to play, giving her all she desires," Xavier said.

Although he was upset, remembering how difficult it had been for Sophie, his expression softened, and he said gently, "Sophie, it's not that I have anything against your mom, but she's gone too far."

"No matter how she treats me, I can let it go because she's your mother, but I absolutely cannot tolerate her repeatedly picking on my daughter."

He took a deep breath, "I came back this time to make up for the mistakes of the past five years, to protect you and our daughter, not to see my precious daughter being bullied by her."

"I know."

Sophie said softly, "I know my mom has gone too far. I've seen everything she's done over the years, but there's nothing I can do. She's still my mom."

"I came after you just to tell you that I've always loved our daughter. I just have to work to support this family, and I can't take care of her all the time."

"So, I agreed to let you stay so you could take care of her."

"But it's not for the feelings from five years ago. You disappeared for five years, and any feelings have been worn away. I just want our daughter to have a complete family."

In response to Sophie's words, Xavier remained silent for a long time, then turned with his daughter in his arms and headed towards the Lewis family courtyard, "I'll make up for everything from the past five years for you and our daughter. Our feelings won't just disappear."

"If you want to change your current life, just say the word, and I can give you the world!"

Behind him, Sophie looked at Xavier and couldn't help but laugh.

Her laughter carried a hint of sadness and reluctance.

Have the vows from five years ago, the promises of eternal love, really vanished?

She didn't know.

She stood there, deep in thought.

Until a red Ferrari sports car driven by Serena stopped beside her, bringing her back to reality.

"Sis, get in."

In the two-seater sports car, Serena sat confidently in the driver's seat, looking at Sophie with a lively expression.

As for Julian and Lucy, they arrived in the old Jetta that Sophie usually used for commuting.

Lucy looked at the Ferrari's passenger seat, then at her own car, feeling unbalanced, "Why do I have to sit in this old car, Julian, you useless idiot."

Julian remained silent.

"Where's Sienna?" Sophie didn't get in the car but instead looked for her daughter's figure.

"Mom, we're here."

With a cheerful voice, Xavier rode up on the old electric scooter that Lucy used for grocery shopping, holding their daughter with one hand.

"You all go ahead, I'll take Sienna for a ride," Xavier said to Sophie.

"Hah..."

Lucy couldn't help but mock, "Serena's taking a supercar for a ride, and you're taking an electric scooter. Aren't you ashamed? Stay away from us later, don't let anyone see you following my daughter's Ferrari."

However, as soon as she finished speaking, Sophie walked straight over to Xavier, took Sienna from him, and sat directly on the scooter's back seat, "Let's go."

"Sure thing." Xavier smiled broadly and zipped off on the electric bike.

"Hmph, I offered you a ride in the sports car out of kindness, but since you don't want it, I'll just enjoy it myself." Lucy snorted coldly and hopped into the Ferrari's passenger seat.

Along the way, Sophie held her daughter in silence, while Xavier was quite happy, as if they had returned to the days when he had nothing, and they rode a small electric scooter together.

Those times were tough, but they were happy.

Xavier tried to chat with Sophie, but she stayed silent, and they reached the Lewis family estate without a word.

From afar, Lucy's wailing voice echoed.

"You jerk, do you have any idea how expensive this car is? You scratched my Ferrari, do you know how much it will cost to fix it? Cough up the cash."

"If you don't pay, don't even think about leaving."

As they got closer, they saw Lucy holding onto Sophie's third aunt, Jolene's hand, refusing to let go.

"Pay up? Are you out of your mind?"

"Lucy, not to mention that this car is something your family couldn't afford, even if it were yours, so what? I just hit it, and if you have the guts to smash my family's car, I won't ask you to compensate."

Jolene, just as fierce as Lucy, glared at her, "Our car's worth over a million. Go ahead, smash it if you dare."

Lucy looked at the car worth over a million and couldn't help but swallow. Although it couldn't compare to her family's sports car, she wouldn't dare smash it even if she had ten times the courage.

Her bravado instantly deflated.

Crash!

At this moment, Xavier walked over, holding a brick in his hand, and smashed it hard onto the car.

Crash after crash...

In no time, the car was a wreck.

Jolene was speechless.

Lucy and the others were left in stunned silence.
