Chapter 236

couldn’t keep an elderly under control. However, if one were to do that, the elderly would undoubtedly suffer some form of injury. If a man like that improperly exerted his strength, then the elderly in question might even get killed.The bodyguard must’ve been unwilling to restrict Jacinta by force, which then allowed her to escape and accidentally fall down the stairs. When Winnie thought about that, she took in a deep breath and asked, “How did you get the scratches on your face?”“Eh?” The bodyguard was dumbstruck for a moment because he didn’t expect that to be the first thing out of her mouth.The scratches were caused by Jacinta, but he believed he mustn’t complain about the old woman in front of Winnie, so he lied, “I accidentally got them when I ran and brushed against the wall. These are all just minor scrapes. It’s not anything serious.”Of course, Winnie knew he was lying, but the fact that he didn’t shift the blame made a good impression on her. He’s a loyal man.However, she still felt compelled to reprimand him. “I’ll deduct your bonus since you were unable to complete the very important mission we entrusted you with. Be more careful next time, all right? If something like this happens again, you should know how to handle it.”“I’ll bear that in mind, Mrs. Fairchild! Thank you!” the bodyguard replied.“Mhm.” Winnie then noticed Xavier had been staring at her from the corner of her eye.Turning to him, she asked, “What’s the matter? Does it upset you that I was lecturing your people?”“Why would I be upset?” His eyes were filled with affection. I feel like she’s constantly emitting an alluring charm that’s just so d*mn attractive to me.Xavier chose not to reveal his actual thoughts and furrowed his eyebrows.
