Silly Bride

Chapter 87

this hour.“Hello, Vinnie. You finally remember your partner, huh?” Nathaniel had given her the nickname “Vinnie.” “I’m sorry. I ran into trouble recently and didn’t stay in touch for the past few days,” Winnie told him.“Oh, I should be apologizing. You don’t know which will arrive first, trouble or tomorrow. Are you all right now?”“Yes, I’m fine,” Winnie assured him.“Great. It might be half past four in the morning, but I think you won’t be sleeping anytime soon. Are you interested in reading a proposal about Garland Group?” Nathaniel asked earnestly.“Of course. I want to talk to you about Garland Group, too. Send me the file, and I’ll read it now,” Winnie responded.She put on her jacket and strode out of Xavier’s house, heading to her own house one floor below Xavier’s unit. Her laptop and other equipment were there.She had no idea that Xavier called her again after claiming she wanted to go to bed, but then she could not fall asleep. His call came when she was talking to Nathaniel on her phone.It was a different situation this time. Earlier, Xavier made a WhatsApp call. Thus, her phone showed his missed calls.As she was currently in the middle of a call with Nathaniel, her phone did not notify her about the missed calls.Not knowing that Xavier had called her, Winnie threw herself into work.On an island a few hundred kilometers away, Xavier fell into deep thought after being told by the automated voice that Winnie’s line was currently busy.She’s a liar. She’s lying to me. Who is she talking to this time?Back at her own place, Winnie switched on her laptop and downloaded the file Nathaniel sent her.She glanced at the companies and subsidiaries that belonged to Garland Group and deleted a few names before sending the edited document back to Nathaniel.“Don’t touch all the ocean freight, shipping, travel, logistics, and courier companies that are connected to Garland Group,” she ordered.“Why?” Nathaniel could not understand her decision. “Garland Group’s shipping company is doing quite well. It also works with a number of travel companies. Their ocean freight service is pretty profitable, too. Why are we giving them up?”“I suspect Hamish might use the ships and the tourists traveling abroad to smuggle and transport drugs overseas. It’s an international syndicate. We can’t touch that in Chanaea,” Winnie revealed.“Do you have a trusted source or solid evidence?” Nathaniel was not about to give up on gaining profit quickly, as it was right before their eyes.Winnie did not have solid evidence connecting Garland Group to the matter, but it was suspicious how Kylie ended up with Zyon quickly. That night, Zyon, Yulissa, and Kylie appeared at the same time on the mountain.Zyon and Yulissa were talking about drugs when Kylie was right beside them. She was not a fool; she obviously understood what their conversation was about.After Xavier took over Fairchild Corporation, he instantly revoked Stuart’s position and power. Stuart would definitely figure out another way to regain his control.Thus, Winnie speculated that Stuart had already started a collaboration with Hamish so he could use the latter’s shipping company to carry out illegal businesses.“Nathaniel, do you trust me?” Winnie asked.Without hesitation, Nathaniel replied, “Ms. Gator,
