Chapter 558 Two Sworn Enemies

• Sighing softly, Xavier answered, “They're sworn enemies. In fact, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they've been enemies for ages. Although I don't know much about what happened when they were young, I've heard the older members of my family talk about my grandmother. I heard that originally, she was Old Mr. Shurmer's fiancée. It was an arranged married decided when they were children. However, Grandma sought freedom in love and marriage, so she chose Grandpa. The Fairchilds and the Shurmers did not have a good relationship, yet they had managed to maintain a semblance of peace. However, things took a turn for the worst because of what Grandma did. The Shurmer family dabbles in politics, whereas my family does business. Although we don't deal directly with them, we still rely on the relevant departments for many projects. In a way, we're also under the Shurmer family's control.”
• Here, he paused before continuing, “That's why Grandpa didn't let me go after her just now. Let's set aside the fact that Yasmyn looks a lot like my grandmother for now. Even if she were an ordinary person who ran up to Old Mr. Shurmer like that to complain about my family, I'm afraid he would likely have taken advantage of the situation and kicked up a fuss anyway. Moreover, he saw Yasmyn's face just now and mistook her for my grandmother at first glance. His attachment to my grandmother is no less than my grandfather's. It's common knowledge that he has had five wives, and it's said that each wife bore some resemblance to my grandmother. Now that Yasmyn has left with him, I fear we'll never find her again. I wonder if she'll fan the flames in front of him and take the opportunity to retaliate against us.”
• Winnie frowned after listening to his explanation. “I see. Could this also be something that Yasmyn had planned all along?”
