Silly Bride

Chapter 164

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 worry about me. The situation was extremely dangerous that day. Even now, thinking back on it makes me feel a little scared. If it hadn’t been for Xavier, maybe I would have become stupid again, just like when I was a kid.”“Is that real?” Jacinta was still unable to believe it. “Why hasn’t anyone brought up Yulissa’s death at all if she is dead?”“It’s because it’s in a relatively remote demolition area. In addition, the Fairchild family requested that it be kept a secret. Without a doubt, the police wouldn’t disclose it to the general public. Not everyone in the Fairchild family was aware of it.”“I see. It’s true that he deserves our sincere gratitude for saving you from those needles, but Winnie…” Jacinta frowned before continuing, “He became like this because of you, so you should indeed take good care of him, but that doesn’t mean you have to be his lifelong partner to show your appreciation. His family isn’t an ordinary family. I’m sure they could hire a professional caretaker to take care of him. If you really want to help, you can hire a qualified caretaker and pay for it. You’ve promised me that you’d divorce him. I was already against your relationship before he was injected with the toxin. I would never agree to it now that he’s in this state and could go insane at any time!”“Granny.” Winnie furrowed her brows slightly. “I understand you’re concerned about me. You think that the men of the Fairchild family have poor morals and would harm me. However, if everything Xavier had gone through had been
