Chapter 1425
Steven asked, “Are you really suggesting I learn from him? Aren’t you afraid I’d become worse under his
influence?”
Justin shot him a look. “You came to me for help, yet you’re not taking my advice. What’s the point of coming to me
then?”
When it came to handling family and marriage issues, Steven felt that he had far more experience than Marcus, at
least in terms of the length of their marriages.
He said, “Justin, I don’t think you know this. To get his wife to leave him, Marc even staged a fake divorce. Then he
started hiding and was even afraid to see his own wife. What am I supposed to learn from him?”

subordinates, Ben, came to me hoping I could help her.”
Steven expressed his surprise. “How come I didn’t know about this?”
Justin continued, “Although he didn’t personally ask for help, I could still feel his concern and care for his wife. You,
on the other hand, had a good marriage, but you ended it as if it was some game.”
Steven was silent for a moment. He never considered marriage as a game. From the moment he decided to
register the marriage with Hannah, he had decided to be with her forever, and never to part. But it was Hannah,
who time and again wanted to divorce, and wanted freedom. And all he did was give her the freedom she wanted.
Justin said, “You can’t respond to me, so you’re just keeping silent?”
After a long while, Steven finally said in a low voice, “Justin, I can’t be without Hannah.”
Justin was not surprised to hear Steven say this, as he had often flaunted his love for Hannah. “If you can’t be
without her, why did you divorce her then?”
Steven said, “Do you know I have a friend named Zavier?”
Justin replied, “I know every one of your friend.”
Steven said, “Since you know him, you should know about him and his wife, Skyler.”
Justin said, “I did hear about it. The news of the Rivera family and the Blue family’s marriage was quite the talk of
the town. Everyone wanted to see how this power couple would turn out. However, the Blue family business ran
into trouble, and they were almost bankrupt.
Then I heard that the Rivera family wanted to call off the marriage, but for some reason, the news that came out
was that Zavier and Skyler had gotten married. As for their life after marriage, the only news I heard was them
attending events together, nothing else.”
Steven said, “Skyler died.”

Justin said, “Skyler died? How did I not hear about such big news? There’s no word about it.”
Steven said, “That’s because Zavier refuses to accept that his wife is dead. He blocked all the news, not letting
anyone spread it. He thought that by doing so, his wife would return to him. But that’s not the point of me bringing
this up…”
Justin anxiously asked, “Then what’s the point you’re trying to make?”
Steven said, “Skyler ended her own life right in front of Zavier. Right in front of him, and he couldn’t do anything to
stop her. There was a big fire that day, Skyler turned into ashes, and since then, Zavier has looked tired and not in
the best state of mind.”
Every time he thought about it, even someone like Steven felt a chill, let alone the person involved, Zavier.
