Silly Bride

Chapter 168

his face as he glanced toward Xavier said it all. Haha! If Winnie is an idiot, everyone in this world must be mentally challenged. How could she possibly be an idiot? Has Xavier really lost his mind?Nate did not buy it. “Yulissa said you gifted her a set of diamond jewelry. Do you remember that?”“I never gave her any diamond jewelry, and I don’t know how she died. If you dare to trouble Winnie again because of this matter, I won’t let you get away with it!”Meanwhile, Winnie had finished sorting through the relevant materials on her phone while they were arguing.She held out her phone to Nate. “Here’s the information on Yulissa and the drugs I delivered to Yartran. You can go through it. If there’s anything you’re confused about, I can explain. Many details of what happened aren’t recorded, but they’re etched in my mind. That includes how Yulissa pushed me off the mountain, how she pleaded with Josiah to treat her, and how she orchestrated the kidnapping and losing a finger.”Nate took the phone. As he went through everything carefully, Beatrice glanced at it too.“Look, Nate! Yulissa is a drug addict. How did she trick you before this? Pull up your previous chats with her and show them to me.”Staring at the ironclad evidence, Nate was silent for a long time.After waiting for a while, Rufus started getting a little impatient. “Well, everything’s clear now, right? Nate, the most important thing now is to cure Xavier. We don’t need you to do anything, but we hope you don’t cause any more trouble for him and his wife.”However, Xavier was not about to let things slide just like that. “Wait a minute! You have to apologize to Winnie.”“An apology is due, of course. That’s only fair.” Beatrice patted Nate on the back and said, “Nate, you must see now that you did make a mistake first in this matter. Hence, you should apologize to Winnie, shouldn’t you?”Nate still did not respond. Frowning, he muttered to himself, “She lied to me. It turns out she was lying to me this whole time. Why? Is it because I didn’t treat her well enough?”Beatrice could not help feeling upset when she saw how miserable he was. “Oh, you… Why are you such a fool for love? She exploited that weakness of yours. Don’t be sad, my dear. It’s not worth it for someone like her.”After comforting Nate, Beatrice looked at Winnie.“Winnie, as you can see, Yulissa pulled the wool over his eyes. So, could you forgive him for what happened?” she asked earnestly.“Aunt Beatrice! Nate hasn’t even apologized yet! Isn’t it too early to be talking about forgiveness?” Xavier piped up, not wanting his beloved Winnie to feel wronged.Feeling sorry for her son, Beatrice replied, “Then let him calm down first, okay? Just look at him. He’s been frozen in that position since earlier, looking utterly distraught. I think he needs some time to process everything—”“There’s no need for that,” Nate said suddenly, interrupting Beatrice. “I admit that I made a mistake.”Returning Winnie’s phone to her, Nate bowed his head and said in a dejected tone, “I apologize. I’m truly sorry for what I did. I kept making things difficult for you indiscriminately. Please forgive my ignorance.”“If you can recognize your mistakes so quickly, it shows that you’re not that ignorant. Just don’t repeat the same mistake.”As Rufus and Beatrice watched Winnie, the latter chose to forgive Nate.Even if she could afford to offend Beatrice, she could not afford to disrespect Rufus.“However, there’s something I’d
