the entire world, were capable of such generosity?All the netizens changed how they addressed Winnie and called her Ms. Garland respectfully.Some even stated that they would support her even if she was a citizen of Yartran for all the charitable acts she had done in Chanaea.She was free to choose any nationality as long as she was content with it. She was extraordinarily strong and had made important contributions to society. Hence, she would most likely be welcomed as a citizen of any nation.Because of her alone, the stock price and reputation of Garland Group skyrocketed.However, Winnie scowled when Jasmine showed her the trending news online.Noticing her expression of displeasure, Jasmine instantly explained, “I didn’t say anything about Hope Elementary School. You mentioned not wanting the kids to be disturbed. I would never dare tell anyone about it.”“I’m aware that you didn’t say it.” Winnie knitted her brows tightly. “If those people really want to know, they can easily find out everything I’ve done.”It was just that she had never intended to be so high-profile.She never wanted her charitable work or her relationship with the Speiser family to be known to the general public.Yet, she seemed to gain more and more fame ever since she married Xavier and acquired Garland Group.Her name had become well-known across the nation, particularly in the last few days, thanks to Nate.Nate, meanwhile, was still unsatisfied despite smashing the computer. Along with the TV in the living room, he also smashed his newly purchased phone.Originally, his intention was to make everyone pour scorn on Winnie. Little did he know that, as things progressed, she would be exalted to the skies.In the past few days, her popularity had reached an unprecedented level. Most likely, no one would be able to surpass her in the upcoming years.“No. I can’t let her go like this.” Nate refused to give up. He could not accept that the woman he loved was no longer alive, but Winnie was admired by thousands of people.Hearing Nate’s words, his assistant was rendered speechless.“Nate, please give up. Don’t even think about putting Winnie Garland down. Her social influence is now far too strong.”“So what? I’m not afraid of her. Just wait and see!”In the meantime, Winnie left Garland Group with Jacinta once she had finished her work.She habitually opened the door for her grandmother, but Jacinta remained motionless.“After sending me home, where are you going?” Jacinta questioned Winnie as she cast a wary glance the latter’s way.Feeling nonplussed, Winnie replied, “Of course, I’m going to stay with you, Granny.”“Be specific. Where are we going together? Are you trying to take me to Xavier’s mansion?”“Granny, you’re overthinking it. I plan to go back to our own place with you.”In fact, Winnie had received a call from Xavier a few hours ago. He said that there was a significant issue with a project in the neighboring city and that he had to travel there personally, so he was not in Avenport at the moment.However, even if he was in Avenport, she would still accompany her grandmother that night.“That’s more like it!” With that said, Jacinta obediently got into the car.Since Winnie was a little exhausted, she closed her eyes as soon as she got in the car. It was Jacinta who woke her up when they arrived.After eating something at home, Winnie was no longer as sleepy as she had been.Only then did she tell Jacinta about Xavier’s situation.Needless to say, Jacinta could not believe her ears when she heard it.“What? So many things happened on the night of the fiftieth-anniversary celebration? There was even a casualty? Why did you hide such a significant matter from me? Do you intend to never return and keep quiet if I didn’t go to Fairchild Corporation?”“I don’t want you to
