Silly Bride

Chapter 131

After that, we tried to spend time together, but in the end, it was not as wonderful as I had imagined. Thus, we decided to break off the engagement.”Winnie was afraid that Rufus would continue to convince her, so she changed the topic and uttered, “By the way, Grandpa Rufus, how is Zyon now? You don’t have to pretend around him anymore, right?”At the mention of Zyon, Rufus’ voice grew deeper. “That unworthy grandson! Xavier has obtained evidence of him hiring someone to kill another person, including the witness of the accident that happened to Xavier one year back. I have found out all the wicked crimes he has committed before. There’s no way I will continue to keep such a person. If we don’t take action against him, there will be no end of trouble.

I’ll personally welcome you at the banquet hall on that day.”“All right, then.”Following that, they ended the call.Right after he hung up the phone, Rufus’ face darkened.He shot a glare at his eldest grandson, looking utterly disappointed.“I wondered how in the world did you court Winnie. Why does she want to separate from you? I even helped you handle the whole procedure and get a marriage certificate, but I can’t believe you are so incompetent.”Xavier, who was sitting on the couch, pinched between his brows.“Grandpa, Winnie has a real temper and strong opinions about things.
