Chapter 324

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 intentions. As for what you have just said, I have never given them any thought before. However, these are clearly written in the documents, and your reasoning makes perfect sense. Indeed, I found it hard to accept when I first saw all this.”“Mhm. I knew you wouldn’t be unreasonable. Xavier genuinely cares about you.

I’m just not in a good mood.” Winnie’s voice sounded despondent as she clutched her phone.Xavier immediately apologized, “I’m really sorry. Is there anything I can do for you?”Winnie stifled a sob. “Why are you sorry when you don’t even know why I’m not in a good mood?”“I know. It’s because what I did.”“I was only upset about that for a moment.” Winnie paused, and her voice sounded tearful. “Now I’m more terrified that what you discovered is true. Actually, I remember some details about the fire at the Fairchild residence when I was talking to Josiah just now. I remember my granny washing off the wine stain on her clothes and her asking me about the surveillance cameras in the residence. I also remember how Zyon called my granny his grandmother before he died in Manchernius. There are other minor things too… Xavier, this
