know what he looked like, nor do I have his contact information.”“What did you receive?”Nate went silent again after Winnie asked another question.However, Winnie didn’t mind waiting a little longer. She knew that Nate would spill eventually.Nate was not in a hurry either. However, although the two weren’t anxious, the others were.“Come on, Nate. I’m at the edge of my seat here,” Beatrice urged.“You’re about to say that you lost the item, aren’t you?” Winnie smiled. “But even if you lost it, you’ve seen it, and you should be able to describe it.”“Ha.” Nate smirked. “You’re right. I threw it away. In fact, I ripped it into pieces. However, I did take a picture of it.”“Then please show me the picture. Thank you.”“Okay,” Nate replied and began to look for the photo on his phone.“Here.” Soon, he found two photos and showed them to Winnie.They were photographs of two printed images that contained the front and back sides of the family badge Winnie had lost.One had a black rose embossed on it, and the other had a black scepter.Winnie instinctively turned to look at Xavier.“What’s wrong?” Xavier frowned.“You told me the badge is with you.” Winnie furrowed her brows and said.Xavier was stunned. “This is my first time seeing this badge.”“That’s right. You no longer remember.” Winnie’s frown deepened. Xavier didn’t remember anything that happened after Yulissa appeared. It only made sense that he didn’t remember a thing about the badge.“Have you ever seen this in your office?” Winnie questioned again.Xavier knitted his brows slightly. “No. This is yours. Did you lose it?”“Yes.”“Okay, I’ll help you find it,” Xavier said immediately.He took the phone from Winnie’s hand and forwarded the two photos to his phone.Winnie’s thoughts were a mess. She always thought that the badge was with Xavier. Now that things had taken a sharp turn, she couldn’t grasp what was happening.She turned around and asked Nate, “Did you only receive these two pictures at the time? Is there nothing else?” “Do you think others are fools? This is such an important item. Do you think someone would send the real thing to someone like me, who has nothing to do with it? I’ve answered your question, and this matter is over. Can my granddad take his rest now? Can I show you the door?”“Nate.” Xavier didn’t like the way Nate was talking to Winnie. “Watch your attitude.”“That’s an entirely different matter. I’ve already apologized sincerely for that incident. Do I have to walk on eggshells whenever I speak in the future? If you noticed, I treat you just the same way.”“That’s enough! We’re a family. Why are you treating each other like enemies?” Beatrice hurriedly spoke up to ease the tension.Winnie couldn’t afford to worry about these things. At that moment, all she wanted was to go to Xavier’s office.“Let’s go.” After bidding Rufus farewell, Winnie held Xavier’s hand and left.Winnie was worried about Xavier’s unstable condition, so she didn’t let him drive.She drove straight to Garland Group’s building. The two of them rummaged through Xavier’s office but still couldn’t find her badge.Xavier couldn’t remember anything about the badge.However, when he noticed Winnie’s frustration about not finding it, he couldn’t help but frown.With a firm voice, he vowed, “Don’t worry. I will find it.”At that point,
