Chapter 193

something underneath the ground?When Winnie considered whether she should knock on the walls, her phone suddenly rang.She took it out and saw that it was Yolanda’s phone number.Furrowing her brows, she picked up the phone.“Hello? What’s the matter?”Yolanda chuckled bitterly. “Drop the act! You were the one who threw stones at me and punctured my tire, weren’t you? Are you playing pretend?”“If you really have to put it this way, I can only tell you that I didn’t puncture your tire.”Yolanda continued to chuckle coldly. “Hah! So, you admit it. Just you wait. I’ll expose you in front of Grandpa once I’m home. I’ll let him know how his favorite student treats his granddaughter.” Winnie frowned. “So, do you admit that you hypnotized Xavier?”Yolanda was silent for a while before she continued, “That’s nonsense.”Winnie smirked. “Hmph! Very well. I know what you mean now.”“Oh? Why don’t you tell me what you understood?”“It’s meaningless. You’ve never been cooperative, so there’s no need for us to continue talking,” Winnie said and hung up instantly.Josiah had stopped stamping on the ground when Winnie answered the call because he didn’t want to disturb her.Once Winnie hung up, he asked, “What is Yolanda up to by calling you?”“She wishes to report to Old Mr. Xander that I stalked her and hurt her. But she’s the one who started it. Besides, she also hurt me by prickling me with needles and making monkeys follow me. Who should I complain to? Let’s—”Josiah suggested, “Since she wishes to involve Old Mr. Xander in this matter, let’s make the first move! Didn’t she refuse to admit to hypnotizing Xavier? Then, let’s bring the hypnotic incense piece you got from the dumpster and the one you found in her room. We’ll let Old Mr. Xander compare them himself. From what I know, every hypnotist has a specific incense piece. This should be something that belongs only to her, so I’m sure Old Mr. Xander will recognize it.”Winnie nodded. “Okay. Let’s do that.”Half an hour had passed when Yolanda returned to the Xander residence.She had planned to report Winnie’s doing to Sebastian, but she didn’t expect to see him looking so angry when she arrived.Sebastian was sitting on the couch while Winnie and Josiah were standing beside him.When she saw the scene before her, Yolanda frowned and understood what was happening since she was intelligent.She sneered with hostility, “Winnie, did you flip the story around when you’re the one to be blamed?”Sebastian slammed a little box on the coffee table when he saw Yolanda’s terrible attitude. “That’s enough! Yolanda, you’d better be honest with me! Who started it?”Yolanda frowned as she stared intently at the object on the coffee table. “Grandpa, what is the meaning of this? Did you search my room? Or you’re telling me that these two went into my room?” She lifted her hand and pointed at Winnie and Josiah. “Who gave you permission to go into my room? I’ve already locked it from the outside, and the key has been with me this whole time! How did you open it?”“I did!” Sebastian wasn’t in the mood to explain how Winnie and Josiah had gone into Yolanda’s room at that moment. All he wanted to know was if what Winnie said was true.“So, you’re not denying the hypnotic incense belongs to you, right?” Sebastian asked while glaring at Yolanda.Yolanda frowned. “Yes. It’s mine.”After that, Sebastian slammed another item in a transparent bag on the coffee table. “Then what about this? Take a close look at it and tell me if you know what it is!”Yolanda took it up and sniffed it. “Grandpa, where did you get this?”“Where did I get it? Winnie found it in the trash! This is what you threw away after you cleaned up the incense burner! Do you admit that you altered his memories? Why did you do it? What can you gain from this? You’re a doctor, Yolanda! Tell me, who made you do this? Who is the mastermind behind all this?”Yolanda stared at Sebastian, looking hurt.“Grandpa, how long have you known her? Why do you believe everything she says? Do you know what she did to me? She got a man to stalk me and hit me with a stone!”“I know. She told me everything, including what happened today. But have you thought about why she did all that?” Sebastian asked with a grave expression.“Why should I think from her perspective? Grandpa, are you my grandpa or hers? Why are you helping an outsider?”“So, you still won’t admit it?”“I can only say that I didn’t do anything wrong!”“All right. You’re still not admitting it, are you? Then, get out of my sight! I don’t have a granddaughter like you!”All Yolanda needed to do was admit it, but she wouldn’t compromise. Sebastian knew she was stubborn, but he was still mad about it. His words were harsher because she still wouldn’t admit it even after Winnie and Josiah almost had the evidence.Since Yolanda had a bad temper, she had no intention of compromising even after hearing what Sebastian said. She turned around and left.Winnie knew that Sebastian only said all those out of anger, but she didn’t want to chase after Yolanda. Therefore, she nudged Josiah’s arm.Josiah reluctantly shouted at Yolanda, “Come back!”Before he could go after her, Sebastian said, “Stop! Let her leave!”Josiah almost believed Sebastian. Right when Josiah was about to stop, Sebastian suddenly continued, “Perhaps it’s better for you to take a look. See how she’s doing. She’s not familiar with this area. Don’t let her get too far.”Josiah was speechless.What else could he have done? Of course, he had to go after her.After Josiah left, Sebastian asked Winnie to sit in front of him.“Winnie, you’re a very gifted student. It’s indeed Yolanda’s fault in this matter, but I’m your master. Instead of telling me about this immediately when you noticed it, you chose to get someone to stalk her, resulting in a conflict. I don’t think this is the right way to handle things. We should talk things
