Chapter 1372: Chapter 1372: Two Choices Chapter 1372: Chapter 1372: Two Choices Xavier Hamer lowered his gaze, looking towards the small violin beside him, “Mr. Novak, how will you choose?”

Willie Novak’s calm face gradually became obscured by a layer of dark mist, and he couldn’t help clenching his fist. He subconsciously looked towards Xaviera Evans, who still appeared unfazed as if all this had nothing to do with her.

As always, she didn’t bother to give a glance to those she didn’t care about.

Ever since that incident, she had treated him like a stranger, and all their past memories had vanished. The girl who used to follow him around, calling him ‘Willie’, had completely disappeared.

He had tried countless ways to win Xaviera back, but every time they met, she just gave him an indifferent nod and said nothing further as if those years were just a dream.

After so many years, she still appeared cold and aloof. Though this matter was related to her, she could still remain an indifferent bystander.

Willie Novak suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and a metallic taste in his throat. He struggled to speak, “What choice?”

Xavier Hamer feigned surprise, his tone sarcastic, “If Mr. Novak is willing to hand over Penny Kalafatis today, Xaviera will accept this violin, and all past grievances will be erased. If you insist on keeping Penny, there’s no way Xaviera could accept the violin. Please refrain from bothering Xaviera in the future, or don’t blame us for being impolite.”

Willie Novak’s heart skipped a beat, his brow furrowed.

Xaviera, who had been watching coldly all the while, slowly raised her eyes. Her cold gaze fell on Willie Novak, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Everyone was waiting for his response, but Penny Kalafatis’ face was pale, and she trembled.

The nobles of Yittaland knew Willie Novak doted on her, but she knew very well who Willie really liked. If he really handed her over, she…

Fear and reluctance instantly swept through Penny Kalafatis’ heart. She knew the fire was not set for her, for she never had a place in Willie Novak’s heart, let alone having him give up Xaviera and the miracle doctor Saint Hand for her.

Willie Novak’s breathing trembled, Xavier Hamer’s words were like a heavy blow to his head, making it dizzy. It wasn’t that he couldn’t bear to part with Penny, but these words reminded him of what had happened years ago.

Back then, after setting the fire, miracle doctor Saint Hand gave him two choices: as long as he revealed the reason for setting the fire, he would be forgiven and allowed to remain on the mountain as a disciple. But if he didn’t tell them, they would sever all ties.

In the end, he didn’t reveal the reason, and he was driven down the mountain, losing a kind Master, his old friends, and the girl he loved.

Willie Novak had always thought himself naturally indifferent to relationships and love. He could use anyone to achieve his goals, and his acquaintance with Xaviera was a carefully planned conspiracy. He believed that slight reluctance was merely the result of the passage of time, and that it wouldn’t be long before he would forget it completely.

But…

“Mr. Novak, have you decided?” Xavier Hamer spoke impatiently.

Willie Novak hesitated for a few seconds, took a deep breath, used his impressive self-control to calm his emotions, and soon those conflicting eyes regained their composure. He was still the calm and collected Mr. Novak.

His brow was cool, and his voice gentle, “Mr. Hamer, I think you misunderstood. What happened back then has nothing to do with Penny. It was just my impulsiveness.”

“If Xaviera… doesn’t want to accept this violin, I won’t insist.”

Hearing his answer, Xavier Hamer didn’t show any surprise, just stared coldly at him, “In that case, Mr. Novak, please remember what I said today. Don’t disturb Xaviera again. Don’t forget, I have your secret in my hands.”

Having said that, Xavier Hamer turned his head to look at Penny Kalafatis, his eyes even more disdainful, “Miss Kalafatis, I advise you not to provoke Xaviera. Just because you have Willie Novak to protect you doesn’t mean we can’t do anything. You might as well ask him if he can protect you if we strike.”

Penny Kalafatis’ legs went weak, and she steadied herself on a chair nearby, but she sighed a breath of relief.

Fortunately…Fortunately, Willie chose her. If she had fallen into Xavier Hamer’s hands, her fate would have been miserable.

She looked triumphantly at Xaviera, only to see Xaviera not even bothering to spare her a glance before calmly walking away.

Xavier Hamer’s gaze was ice-cold as he looked at Willie Novak, who was also looking back at him. As their gazes met, a spark seemed to ignite in the air.
