The Rise of a Master It Starts With Rejection novel Chapter 79

Chapter 79 

“Great! Wait for me in the living room, Joe. I’ll take a bath and wash up. It’ll be too disrespectful to meet Mr. Cane looking like this,” Xena said. 

Jordan was exhilarated as well. Once Wesley healed Curtis, everything would fall into place for him to be with Xena. 

At the same time, Felix stood outside the mansion and rang the doorbell. Yet, it was Belle and Jordan who came out. 

“Felix? What are you doing here?” Belle disliked him strongly. He was a useless good–for- nothing, but he still fantasized about marrying Xena.

“I’m here to visit Mr. Summers Senior. Is Xena here?” Felix asked.

A voice suddenly broke the tense atmosphere. “Let him check on Grandpa–I’ll give him five minutes. Chase him out when time’s up.”
