a frown, “I don’t get mad at people who accuse me of things I haven’t done. All it takes is a phone call or two to teach them a lesson they won’t forget. However, I will not allow this b*tch to talk to you like that!”Winnie gave his hand a squeeze and asked with a smile, “What would you do to her, then? Give her a few slaps?”They both knew that Xavier didn’t like hitting women.Winnie let out a chuckle as she continued, “I’m not angry at her either, but what she said is true. I am indeed unable to see, and I am much older than her.”Xavier couldn’t stand hearing Winnie talk about herself like that. “Don’t say that, Winnie.”Winnie gave him another tug on his hand. “All right, then. Let’s sit down somewhere.

I should have kept a closer eye on the mansion. As for training, she indeed has not received the training due to our negligence.”Winnie arched an eyebrow when she heard that. “Oh? She gets such special treatment, huh?”“You could say I was the one who allowed her to skip the training,” Xavier piped up. “What?” Winnie frowned and turned her head in Xavier’s direction. “Are you saying that you two knew each other long ago?”“No, not really. One night, I couldn’t seem to fall asleep, so I went for a walk in the garden. I was strolling through the garden when I stumbled upon her. She recognized me instantly and expressed her gratitude toward me,” Xavier said, making no attempt to hide it whatsoever.“What was she thanking you
