I haven’t caused you any trouble, have I?”Everyone at the mansion knows that Mr. Xavier brought his first love back with him. He even spoke harshly to Mrs. Fairchild the other day, saying he loathed that she was a dumbass and told her never to appear before his eyes again.Fearful that his soft-heartedness in allowing Winnie into the car would anger Xavier, the driver quickly apologized.As for Winnie, she looked as though she had seen her savior when she saw the driver.She hid behind the driver immediately.
