the skies like she’s an A-list celebrity!”His assistant could only suffer the admonishment silently. “It was a sudden occurrence. I didn’t expect things to develop in this trend either. Who knew she would’ve had a live broadcast to clarify the matter so quickly and even invited so many media outlets, attracting so many fans? She isn’t one to be trifled with, Nate. Not only is she the CEO of Garland Group, but she’s also the mistress of Fairchild Corporation. Adding to that, she even has tons of fans now. How about we just let it go? I’m afraid that we’re the ones who’ll end up ruined.”Nate shot him a glare. “Hah! Let it go? That woman might have some capabilities, but do you think I’m easy prey? Come over here. I’ll give you another task. Make sure that you do it well.”“What are you two doing?” Such was the scene that greeted Winnie after she returned from taking a call outside—Xavier and Josiah sat beside each other, both scrolling through their phones, neither speaking to the other.Even after she had spoken, Xavier never lifted his head.Instead, Josiah took the initiative to break the brief awkward silence in the room upon seeing that the man wasn’t saying anything.“Something came up in the hospital group chat, so I had to handle it. You’re done with your phone call?”“Yeah.” Winnie turned her gaze to Xavier once more. Seeing the deep frown marring his countenance, she couldn’t help asking, “What is he looking at that he’s so absorbed?”In response, Josiah shrugged. “No idea. He didn’t allow me to look at his phone. But I think he won’t object if you go over and take a peek.”“Really?” Arching a brow, Winnie walked over.She sat down on the armrest of the couch beside Xavier.Dipping her head, she discovered that Xavier was searching for their nickname on the internet—Vinnie Couple.Thanks to her, Josiah wasn’t rebuffed again as he poked his head over.When he peered at Xavier’s phone, the latter was frowning as he fought with a hater. The hater said that Winnie must have had cosmetic surgery. Otherwise, there was no way she could be more beautiful than the female celebrities in the entertainment industry.That aside, the hater claimed that Winnie was hyping things up and must have slept her way up since she was a nobody previously.That said, countless men might have bedded her. On the whole, the words used were exceedingly vulgar.When Xavier saw such a comment, his entire face went as black as thunder.With a frown, he demanded: What’s your name, and where are you staying? Give me your address and brace yourself for my lawyer’s letter.The hater merely chided him for his insanity.To that, he countered: Shouldn’t I be sending you a lawyer’s letter when you’re defaming someone?The hater retorted: Who do you think you are? A powerful and domineering CEO?Xavier was promptly rendered speechless. His fingers hovered over the keypad, preparing to make a comeback.While laughing, Winnie hurried held his hand down.“That’s enough. There are loads of trolls like him on the internet. Just ignore them.”His brows scrunching together, Xavier lifted his head. “When did you come back?”“About two minutes ago. I just—” Before Winnie had finished speaking, her phone rang.It was a call from the First Institute of Applied Toxicology in Yartran. They were coming over to collect the drug, so she had to deal with it at once.“I’m going out to hand someone something, Xavier. Don’t entertain the haters anymore.”Xavier instantly put his phone down and got to his feet. “I’ll go with you.”Winnie was stunned for a moment. After
