Chapter 316

the call, Xavier was busy drying her hair. He overheard the entire conversation and ascertained that the news was the cause.Wilhelm had previously put a lot of effort into deleting all of Winnie’s information from Chanaea, but she became famous on the internet again in the blink of an eye.The fact that it happened and it was still the same kind of scandalous news made him very unhappy, so he planned to come to Avenport while he was on business to find out what was going on.Hence, Xavier and Winnie received Wilhelm at Lagune Mansion two days later.After learning about Winnie’s motives and plans, the latter also expressed his understanding. In any case, there was no use in him objecting anymore.After they had finished discussing her matter, she inquired about the purpose of Wilhelm’s trip. Only then did she find out that his main purpose was to visit Erihal to inspect the diamond mines, but the outcome did not appear to be satisfactory.Xavier happened to be interested in this business, especially since it was something that Wilhelm wished to develop, so he suggested collaborating with the latter.He did this not only to further his interests but to strengthen his bonds with the Speiser family as well because he wished to get their approval on his relationship with Winnie.The Speiser family was the richest in the world, so he would not allow himself to be any lesser than them.As for Wilhelm, his eyes lit up immediately after Xavier mentioned that he had won the bid for the development rights of a diamond mine and several gold mines in Alendor.“I think we can discuss…”Just like that, the two men stepped into the study amicably to discuss business.Seeing that, Winnie was very happy about it.They talked all afternoon and did not emerge from the study until before dinner.The outcome of their discussion was an on-site inspection.Winnie was quite surprised after hearing the news. “You reached a decision so soon?”“We did.” Wilhelm gave Xavier a rare compliment. “Mr. Fairchild is a very resolute person, and I admire his style of handling things.”Winnie nodded. “Yes. I’ve long been aware of that. By the way, how long will you be there? When are you leaving?”“I’ll make some arrangements for the work at hand and leave probably the day after tomorrow. This time, it’ll take at least half a month.” The person who spoke was Xavier.Oh no, I am already missing my dumbo even before the trip.He could not help but hold her hand in front of Wilhelm. “Do you want to go with us?” he asked.Before Winnie could reply, Wilhelm did it for her. “She won’t go. She’s very afraid of the heat. Don’t you know that?”“Yes…” Winnie nodded at Xavier. “Don’t you know that? You guys go by yourselves since it’s your business, not mine. Besides, I honestly don’t have any interest in gold and silver mines.”“All right.” Xavier was a little disappointed but even more reluctant. “Since you don’t like that place, don’t go then.”Winnie refilled their wine glasses. “Then I wish you all the best in advance.”What made her even happier was that the relationship between the two of her loved ones was slowly easing up.…After Xavier and Wilhelm had gone abroad, Winnie went back to live with Jacinta.The focus of her current work had always been on finding Harold and Greta, but unfortunately, neither of those had made any substantial progress.Her life, however, had changed as a result of being harassed and abused online by Nate’s fanatical fans.Once, several teenage girls dumped dirty water on her as she was leaving Garland Group.They were only fourteen or fifteen years old at most and ran away after doing that. They even did things like running a red light when crossing the road.Winnie truly had no recourse against those children.Although she did not publicize this
