to ask you. Do you want to start first, or should I?”“Wait! How can we get down to business with an empty stomach? What do you want to eat? Do you like spicy food?” Josiah asked with a smile.She tapped the table in front of her twice and said after a moment of silence, “I told you there’s no need for that. Can’t we get right to business now?”Josiah stilled for a few seconds before adjusting his glasses with a smile. “Okay, Ms. Garland. I will listen to you today.”Winnie realized she was being unreasonable after seeing Josiah’s reaction.He’s just concerned about whether I had eaten or not.She scratched the back of her head awkwardly and lowered her voice. “I’m sorry for my bad attitude. Let’s talk about business first since I’m not hungry yet. I will treat you to supper if you’re still up for it later.”Josiah’s smile remained. “Okay! I understand how you’re feeling right now. In fact, we all know how close you are to your grandmother since you once relied solely on each other. I know you have your own judgment since you’re willing to sit down and talk about this with me.”Winnie leaned on her chair helplessly and hummed in response. “Can you tell me when did you guys start suspecting my granny?

At that time, everyone thought that Zyon was the one who started the fire, and so did Xavier and me. However, someone later discovered wine bottles near the fire, which served as an accelerant for the fire. It’s not plausible that Zyon was the arsonist, as it was unrealistic to think he ran around the Fairchild residence himself and injured Nate while carrying three to five wine bottles with him. Your granny had the stench of alcohol on her that night, and the room she stayed in had broken wine bottles in it. Don’t you think this is too much of a coincidence? Afterward, Zyon escaped. He most likely escaped from the courtyard your granny resided. Although your granny claimed she hadn’t seen him, that may not necessarily be true because the surveillance cameras weren’t functional during that time. Your granny’s behavior raised suspicions, but we weren’t sure why she was acting this way until we learned about a woman named Young Lady. She most likely had a relationship with Old Mr. Fairchild and even gave birth to his child. Everything will make sense if Young Lady is really your granny, Jacinta. Stuart must definitely be her son, and Zyon is her biological grandson. Hence, she must have loathed Old Mr. Fairchild, who abandoned her, and Xavier, who Old Mr. Fairchild favored. Thus, she voluntarily became a hostage to help Zyon escape and helped him unconditionally. All of this is merely conjecture, and Xavier didn’t want to let you know we were investigating your granny because you won’t be able to accept it.” Winnie nodded. “I understand Xavier’s
