Rebirth: Top Actress, Your Big Shot Husband is Jealous Again!

Chapter 1138

A sharp glint flashed across the man’s eyes, carrying an overwhelming pressure that shot straight at the girl opposite him.Xylia Xandrell bit her lip tightly. Even though she tried hard to control herself, she still couldn’t withstand the aura that the man kept exuding.

The girl lowered her head, a sour feeling rising in her heart.

Clearly, he was the person she once knew best, so why couldn’t she remain calm and composed in front of him now?

So timid and cowardly like a frightened stick.

"I didn’t know when you’d come, so I haven’t ordered coffee for you. What would you like to drink?"

Mason Bennett leaned back on the chair, legs crossed, elegant and noble in contrast to the uneasy girl opposite him.

"If I hadn’t come, how long would you have waited?" he asked indifferently.

Xylia Xandrell raised her head, her bright eyes fixedly staring at Mason Bennett, her tone firm.

"You said you’d come, so you’d definitely come."

This unconditional trust stirred agitation in Mason Bennett’s heart, accompanied by more resistance and rejection.

"So, what kind of story have you fabricated today?"

The man’s mocking tone caused Xylia Xandrell’s body to stiffen; her face lost all color, pale as paper.

"Do you really not remember me?"

Xylia Xandrell didn’t know how she managed to say those words, only feeling as if her heart was wringing in pain.

It turned out that what hurt most wasn’t his change of heart.

It was that she clearly remembered all their past moments.

But he had entirely forgotten her.

Now, sitting here in front of him, she felt like nothing but a joke.

"It’s not about forgetting; it’s that we never knew each other."

The man coldly uttered the heartless words, leaving no room for sentiment.

Xylia Xandrell’s hand clenched tightly on her knee, her joints turning white from the pressure.

The stinging pain from her nails biting into the palm made even her nerves hurt.

Not about forgetting, but... never knowing.

Xylia Xandrell wanted to laugh but couldn’t.

"Is this your answer, A-Jiu?" the girl asked with a smile.

Her eyes reddened from smiling, tears falling.

The call of ’A-Jiu’ made Mason Bennett’s body abruptly stiffen.

His dark pupils contracted violently several times.

That name...

Mason Bennett was certain he didn’t have such a name, but why did hearing the girl call him A-Jiu...

feel inexplicably familiar?

In his mind, unfamiliar scenes flashed one by one, like a movie.

Two figures in a dream, the girl’s cries, the man’s madness.

And that silver bell-like laughter, echoing endlessly.

"Shut up!" Mason Bennett barked in a low voice, his breathing now slightly erratic.

His gaze towards Xylia Xandrell grew more vicious and sharp.

That gaze made Xylia Xandrell break out in a thin sweat, her heart pounding in fear.

Mason Bennett raised his hand, took out a card, placed it on the table, then pushed it forward with his finger.

His expression still hadn’t improved.

"Here’s fifty million, keep your mouth shut, take your parents, and leave Brocade City."

The bank card in front felt like a slap on Xylia Xandrell’s face, chilling her blood.

"What do you mean?"

"The position of the Bennett Family’s eldest daughter-in-law is not for you to covet. Fifty million is enough for your family to squander through the rest of your lives."

Having said this, Mason Bennett leaned slightly forward, icily continuing: "This fifty million is just because you’re Xylia’s cousin; don’t try to anger me. The consequences, for you and your family, are unbearable."

If the words before were inducements, the latter were stark threats.
