His Son, My Enemy I She was so thin she barely looked human

Chapter 336 The car pulled up next to a mall . 55 vouchers Joshua led Xylia into the mall , grabbed some gifts , and then they got back on the road , heading off to pay their respects to a family elder . Before long , their car pulled up in front of a private villa on the outskirts of Daltonia's capital city . Joshua and Xylia stood outside the villa . The butler had been waiting at the gate for some time . As soon as he saw Joshua and Xylia arriving together , he hurried over to greet them at the entrance . The butler greeted them warmly at the door . " You must be Mr. Garcia , correct ?

" Joshua nodded . " Yes , Mr. Lennox is expecting me . We're here to pay him a visit ." " My master has been waiting for you both . Please , come inside , " the butler said . He accepted the gifts from Joshua and handed them to a nearby servant , then led Joshua and Xylia toward the main villa . They arrived at the main villa . As soon as they stepped inside , a cough sounded from within , followed by a warm , deep voice . Mr. Lennox called out , " Is that you , Joshua ? " The butler answered , " Yes , Mr. Garcia is here , and he's brought his girlfriend to visit you .

These are the gifts he picked out for you . " On the sofa in the living room , a man sat with his back to them . He didn't bother to turn around , his voice easygoing and familiar . " Why bring gifts ? You're here , that's enough -come over and let me get a good look at you ." His way of speaking felt just like home , casual and warm - pure Alverland style . ' Wait , he doesn't sound like someone from Daltonia at all , ' Xylia thought , surprised . ' I totally expected to meet a local . ' Joshua took Xylia's hand and led - her over to the man . " Mr. Lennox , it's been ages .

You're still just as strong and spirited as ever ," Joshua said warmly . By the time he finished speaking , they were already standing in front of Mr. Lennox . Xylia finally got a good look at him . 10:09 Fri , Oct 3 Chapter 336 81 55 vouchers He had the typical Alverland look - about forty , with keen , striking eyes and an unmistakable air of authority . He sat on the sofa , a blanket draped over his legs . His posture was proper , but there was a hint of awkwardness to the way he sat . Xylia kept her eyes in check , careful not to stare out of politeness . But Mr.

Lennox's gaze settled on her , quietly sizing her up . After a moment , he finally spoke up . " So , you're Joshua's girlfriend ? " Joshua wrapped an arm around Xylia's shoulders and smiled as he introduced her . " Yep , that's her - my girlfriend , Xylia . " Then he turned to Xylia and said , " Xylia , this is Mr. Lennox , one of my dad's closest friends ." Xylia greeted him politely . " Hello , Mr. Lennox ," Xylia said warmly . Mr. Lennox nodded , clearly pleased . " Not bad , not bad .

Joshua's always been notoriously picky - back in the day , us old folks used to fret over whether he'd ever settle down . Who knew he'd go and quietly find himself such a stunning girlfriend ? " Xylia felt herself blush a little under the praise . Joshua just grinned , proud as ever . " Naturally , I've got great taste ." Mr. Lennox invited them to take a seat . Joshua and Xylia sat down beside him on the sofa . " So , what brings you here this time ? " Mr. Lennox asked . " I need a favor from you , Mr. Lennox , " Joshua replied .

In Daltonia , the balance of power came down to two sides : the underworld , controlled by Richard , and the legitimate world , overseen by Mr. Lennox . For years , because of the awkward history between his father and Mr. Lennox , Joshua hardly ever came by to visit . Now , just showing up and turning straight to ask for help- Even Joshua , who's never been shy about these things , couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed . Just then , a crisp , lively voice called out from upstairs . " Joshua ! Is that you ? " came the playful call , sweet as can be .

10:09 Fri , Oct 3 Chapter 336 Se vouchere The girl's adorable , excited tone echoed through the halls , right as her footsteps danced down the spiral staircase . Xylia turned to see a girl , probably about twenty , skipping down the stairs in a pink princess dress - like something straight out of a fairy tale . Her eyes sparkled the moment she saw Joshua . Then , like an eager butterfly , she darted straight toward him . Joshua hurriedly yanked Xylia out of the way . The girl ended up tumbling right onto the soft sofa in a heap . The living room went completely quiet for a moment .

The girl lay sprawled on the sofa for a few seconds , then pushed herself up , threw Joshua a dramatic pout , and shot him a look . " Just like always ! You never let a girl hug you ! " she huffed . Mr. Lennox just shook his head , looking at his youngest daughter with a mix of exasperation and fondness . " You're not a little kid anymore . Seriously , throwing yourself at your brother in front of everyone ? Didn't you see he brought your future sister - in - law home ? " he said . The moment Mr. Lennox finished speaking , the girl's gaze shifted to Xylia .

She crossed her arms and walked up to Xylia , sizing her up . " Future sister - in - law ? " she asked , her eyes wide with curiosity and a hint of disbelief . Xylia looked to Joshua for help , not quite sure what to say . Joshua stepped in , quickly making the introductions . Only then did Xylia realize that the girl in front of her was Lydia Lennox , Mr. Lennox's youngest daughter . Xylia greeted Lydia with a friendly smile . Lydia barely acknowledged her , not really bothering to respond . Mr. Lennox said to Lydia , " Lydia , take her upstairs and hang out for a bit .

I need to talk things over with Joshua ." Lydia chirped , " Okay ! " Xylia glanced at Joshua , a little uncertain and silently looking for guidance . Joshua just grinned and ruffled her hair . " Relax , the kid's actually super easy to get along with . Go ahead ." 10:09 Fri , Oct 3 Chapter 336 Lydia shot Joshua a fierce look and snapped , " Who are you calling a kid ? " Then she grabbed Xylia's hand and marched her right upstairs . 館 se vruchers Joshua and Mr. Lennox turned their attention to the real reason for the visit and started talking business . Lydia didn't waste any time .

She grabbed Xylia by the hand and pulled her straight into her bedroom . Despite Lydia's adorable vibe , her room was a whole other story - nothing but black and white , and seriously cold and minimalist . As soon as they walked in , Lydia gestured for Xylia to sit wherever she liked . " Feel free , make yourself at home . " Xylia didn't stand on ceremony . She was sore and tired all over - if she could sit , she sure wouldn't stand , and if there was a chance to lie down , she'd skip even sitting altogether .

She sank into the soft sofa , grateful for the chance to finally sit down and relax . Lydia settled herself on the edge of the bed opposite her and started eyeing Xylia again , clearly checking her out . After all she'd been through , Xylia had gotten pretty good at telling whether someone's stare carried any sort of malice . Right now , she could tell Lydia was just genuinely curious . ' What exactly is she so curious about ? ' Xylia wondered , feeling a little baffled . ' Is she just checking me out because I'm Joshua's girlfriend ? ' Xylia thought , a touch uneasy .

" I've definitely met you before ." Lydia declared , sudden and unwavering , like she was laying down a fact . Lydia's words landed out of nowhere , her tone crisp and decisive - no room for doubt . Xylia hesitated , a little thrown . ' I honestly don't recall ever crossing paths with you , ' she replied . " Three years ago , I went to Jupiton with my dad . We attended a party - some kind of charity auction , I think- held at the Capital City Clubhouse . On our way out , right at the entrance , I remember spotting you there , " Lydia said , her voice filled with certainty .

Xylia's lips twitched . ' Got to hand it to her - she's got a memory like a steel trap . Me ? I can barely remember what happened three years ago .' Lydia scooted forward , checking Xylia out again with a curious look . After another careful glance , she nodded , totally convinced . " No doubt about it - it's you ! There's no way I'd forget such a pretty face , " Lydia said playfully . 10:09 Fri , Oct 3 Chapter 336 81 25youchers " Wait a sec - weren't you already married ? And didn't you have a kid ? " Lydia asked , her eyes wide with curiosity .

She could clearly remember standing at the entrance and hearing that tiny kid by Xylia's side call her " Mommy , " Xylia's gaze clouded over for a split second . She said quietly , " That's all in the past . " ' I never would've thought a stranger could know my story so well , Xylia thought , a bit thrown . Xylia studied Lydia's face , searching for even the tiniest flicker of disapproval or shade in her eyes . But she found nothing . ' So why bring it up ? ' Xylia couldn't help but wonder . Lydia quickly looked away , got up , and walked over to her desk .

She rummaged through a drawer and pulled out a little doll keychain , then handed it to Xylia . " For you ," Lydia said simply . Xylia shot Lydia a confused look , murmured a quick thanks , and accepted the keychain . As soon as Xylia touched the keychain , the doll's eyes popped right out - then some thick , red goop came oozing out , splattering all over her hand .
