Chapter 272

me. Your grandmother saw with her own eyes everything that happened just now. Thus, you should ask her instead. Besides, even if I told you what happened, would you have believed me? If you’re willing to trust me more than your grandmother, I don’t mind relating everything that happened to you.”She then gave Jacinta, who was standing behind Winnie, a look of amusement.The smiling Yulissa even cocked a brow at the latter. “Lady, why don’t you tell Winnie who it was that did this to Xavier?”For a few seconds, Jacinta stared at Yulissa in silence. This woman clearly saw what had happened just now. So, why is she refusing to tell the truth?In the end, Jacinta decided to tell Winnie.“It was Captain Bennett who struck him when both of them were arguing on the rooftop. When Xavier yelled that he was going to kill the former, Captain Bennett resisted by smashing Xavier’s head against the railing.”The revelation stunned Winnie. When she saw Xavier’s blood on her hands, the image of Christopher looking at her in teary-eyed despair flashed across her mind.In spite of that, she took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the scene that flooded her mind. An injury to the back of the head isn’t a small matter. Now that Christopher is… Nothing must happen to Xavier.Winnie—enduring the pain—quickly removed the bandage on her right hand and turned toward Jacinta.“Granny, please bandage Xavier with this. I can’t do it as my hand is hurt.”After hesitating for a moment, Jacinta took the bandage from Winnie’s hands.As Yulissa wasn’t someone she could trust, Winnie had no choice but to hear the truth from Jacinta.“Granny, tell me, was Xavier’s illness acting up? Why did it happen? Was it because he was emotionally triggered?”Jacinta—in the midst of patching Xavier up—froze before glancing at Yulissa instinctively.Watching Jacinta’s reaction, Winnie trailed her gaze in Yulissa’s direction.The moment her eyes landed on the latter, they instantaneously ignited with rage. “It’s her fault again, am I right?”At the sight of the infuriated Winnie, Yulissa couldn’t help but flash a smug smile at Jacinta.“Tell her. Tell her why Xavier suddenly went berserk and who the true culprit is.”Although Jacinta felt that Yulissa was crazy, she first had to secure her own safety by blaming the incident on the latter.“I-It was Yulissa. She had a syringe that contained some medication which she injected into Xavier. Subsequently, she even wanted to push her own grandfather down the building, but Xavier sent him off on the helicopter. After that, she showed Xavier a video and accused you of having an affair with Captain Bennett. She even professed that the two of you no longer cared for your lives and dignity. Instead, you and Captain Bennett had agreed to be reunited in the next life.“Infuriated by her words, Xavier just lost it and pushed anyone he saw. After shoving Yulissa, he got into a fight with Captain Bennett. He kept screaming that he was going to beat the latter to death regardless of how I tried to hold him back. In the end, all I could do
