Chapter 114

and use this to your disadvantage, so you’d better watch out.”“It’s not a big deal. My plan is already coming to an end, so she can’t do anything to me whether I’m sane or not. Nonetheless, I’m curious as to how she found out about it. After all, I’m sure I didn’t do anything to give the game away in front of her. Did she tell you who revealed the secret to her?”Christopher recalled every detail of his conversation with Yulissa but shook his head in the end. “I don’t think she mentioned anything related to that.”“Did she say who she met up with yesterday night? Was it Xavier?” probed Winnie once more.Christopher was not an opportunistic person. He was a man marked by integrity, so he told the truth.“I didn’t ask, but Winnie, I can tell Xavier really cares about you. He genuinely does not want to put you in danger. The only person who wishes for your downfall is Yulissa. There’s no way Xavier will work with her.” “Maybe,” Winnie replied with a faint smile and said no more.Well, many men out there care for me and want me as well, but if any of them turns out to be a liar or cheater, I’ll be deeply offended.Meanwhile, Xavier had just reached the condominium in Aqua Moana.On his way there, he tried calling Winnie several times, but the latter did not pick up.Xavier called because he saw someone who looked like Winnie from the back, walking side-by-side with a strapping man when he drove into the residential area, but the couple had already vanished when he wound down his window.At that moment, Xavier felt an impulse to check if the woman was Winnie, and when his calls did not get through, he thought it was because the connection was terrible, so he headed home immediately.When he reached home, he smelled the scent of custard pudding wafting in the air before he even opened the door leading to his room.Hmm? I didn’t have custard pudding yesterday. Neither did I ask Molly to come over. Even if she came today and ate something, she would never eat in my room—let alone leave unfinished food inside. She would definitely get rid of the smell.It was not until Xavier spotted the custard pudding in the bin that he understood what had happened.Isn’t this the custard pudding Dumbo snapped a photo of when she was having breakfast? She even asked if I wanted some, and I said yes. Is that why she brought some over? Right, she even asked me where I was three times, and I replied I was here. D*mn it! She must have found out I lied to her. Is that why she didn’t pick up my calls?Little did Xavier know, Winnie had toggled silent mode on her phone, so it did not matter how many times he called. She was talking to Christopher and was not checking her phone.A thought budded in Xavier’s mind at the realization.The woman I saw in the residential area must be Dumbo. Who is that man beside her, and where are they now?Xavier went over to the window near the balcony out of instinct.He wanted to see if he could still find the woman he had seen earlier who looked like Winnie from the back.Coincidentally, Winnie and Christopher were walking toward Xavier’s building after talking.Since their discussion had ended, Winnie headed home, and it so happened that Xavier was looking out of the window.Although he was watching them from the thirty-second floor of the condominium and could not clearly see the two people’s faces, he could still tell who they were from afar.That’s Dumbo and Christopher! What is he doing here? I told that man not to contact her anymore. I can’t believe he’s still keeping in touch with her!Anger boiled in Xavier’s heart at the sight, but he breathed deeply in an attempt to calm down and took out his phone to call Winnie again. Alas, his call was not answered.Xavier could not help but feel suspicious. Did she block me? Fine! I admit it’s my fault for lying to her, but I did it because I didn’t want to complicate things. Besides, I have no idea at all
