drug usage. It’s all with Winnie. We have all the proof you could want, including the police report you lodged about Winnie bringing illegal drugs out of the country. Yulissa was the one who gave those drugs, which were failed products from her grandfather’s research. There were more than ten vials in total. On the night of Garland Group’s fifteenth-anniversary celebration, she wanted to harm Xavier and Winnie. In the end, she injected all of the drugs into Xavier.”“Granddad, her grandfather—” Nate tried to explain, but Rufus cut him off.“Shut up and listen to what I have to say first. Those drugs have severely affected Xavier’s nervous system, and we have no way of knowing whether there’ll be any other side effects in the future.

Do you think she’s an idiot?”Nate remained silent. However, the look of disbelief on 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
