Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)
Chapter 111

Winnie was a little absent-minded during her discussion with Nathaniel, which was rare, even for the latter.

"Oh, my dear Vinnie! Are you distracted? This is really rare. I wonder if I have the honor of knowing what happened to you?"

"I'm sorry. Let's get down to business now." Winnie quickly regained her senses after being teased by Nathaniel.

"Well, it seems I don't have this honor, after all." Nathaniel sounded a little disappointed.

"Have you lied to me?" asked Winnie all of the sudden.

Nathaniel was stunned. "My dear Vinnie, is this the 'business' you were talking about? Your question came out of nowhere."

"It's indeed a little sudden, but can you answer me truthfully?" Winnie frowned.

Nathaniel thought for a few seconds. "I don't think so. I believe I've never lied to you."

"Then under what circumstances would you lie to me?" asked Winnie.

"Um..." Nathaniel paused for a moment, unsure of what to say. "I don't know. We've known each other for so long... I don't think I will ever lie to you unless I really have to. Or I might lie when it's for your own good and to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"Then what would you do if you found out I lied to you?" Winnie questioned again.

"Oh, Vinnie, your questions are a little strange, but I would like to know why you would lie to me instead." Nathaniel burst into laughter.

"Hmm. Me too," said Winnie after pondering for a moment.

As she spoke, she took out her phone and opened the chat with Xavier, reading the chat history all over again.

She wanted to know why he lied to her.

I'll go to Aqua Moana today and demand an answer from him head-on!

She liked confrontation, as she found it exciting.

The two then continued with their main topic. Winnie was very satisfied with the current progress.

"Dear Mr. Nathaniel, it seems that Garland Group will have a new owner soon. Thank you for your effort." "It's my pleasure."

After finishing the meeting with Nathaniel, Winnie immediately contacted Louis.

She texted: Mr. Tanser, what is the status of the logistics companies' data I asked you to replace that day?

At that time, Louis was with Xavier.

Seeing the message from Winnie, he immediately reported it to Xavier, "Mr. Fairchild, look. Mrs. Fairchild is chasing for the report about the logistics companies." Xavier took a glance at Louis' phone before looking at his own.

Earlier today, Winnie asked him if he was still at Aqua Moana. After Xavier replied to her, there was no text message from her again. Some time had passed since then. You have no time to reply to my message, but you have time to text Louis!

All of a sudden, Louis became an eyesore to him.

Truthfully, it was only after he married Winnie did he realize that he could get jealous so easily in certain matters.

Staring at Louis unhappily, he replied, "I've told you there's no need to talk to her about this matter. Just tell her you haven't found it yet. Try to delay it."

"Don't you think I should tell her you've sent the information to Captain Bennett of the Narcotics Enforcement Department?" asked Louis carefully.

"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Xavier glared at him.

I just made her angry a few days ago for opposing her to making friends with Christopher. If she learns that I've warned Christopher last night, she'll probably accuse me of controlling her again. It's better not to let her know first. Now that Yulissa's assistant is here, I believe the police will soon collect a lot of evidence. By that time, Christopher will have nothing to do with her anymore.

Louis was absolutely obedient to Xavier as he immediately replied to Winnie according to the latter's instructions.

Although Winnie felt that Louis' efficiency on this matter was a little slow, she dared not criticize him. After all, she was not his immediate superior. Nonetheless, after some deliberation, she sent Christopher a text message: The data from the logistics companies may take a few more days. Christopher was a little puzzled after reading the text message.

Xavier has already sent me the data last night. He even sent me a video! Doesn't she know about this?

Initially, Christopher asked Winnie to investigate the logistics companies. However, it was Xavier who sent him the result in the end.

Because of this, and what Xavier said last night, Christopher believed Winnie and Xavier had a pretty close relationship.

Otherwise, they would not share such confidential information with each other.

However, now it seemed that that was not true.

Christopher hesitated for a moment, but he could not hold back his curiosity in the end.

Christopher: By the way, I remember you once said you would leave the Fairchild family. What is the relationship between you and Xavier now? Are the two of you really together? Winnie: No, we're not. He's pursuing me right now. But so far, he has not passed my test yet.

Christopher: Oh, okay. Christopher was instantly cheered by that answer.

In the meantime, Yulissa saw Xavier hang up the phone and walked over. "Xavier, will you stay here tonight?" she asked.

Xavier took a glance at her but did not answer her question directly.

"You can leave now," he said coldly.

Yulissa smiled faintly. "What? Am I not a suspect now and not under house arrest anymore? Who called you? That was such an influential call, I see."

Xavier stared at the woman in front of him coldly. "It was a call from the police. I asked them to investigate Professor White's case that happened five years ago. There was, indeed, something amiss, but it also proves that you didn't lie."

"I don't think there's a need for me to lie for now. Besides, one night has passed. I didn't tell Zyon anything, did I? Speaking of the police, can you arrange for me to meet with Captain Bennett? I have a lot of things to tell him in person. I can't always trouble you to be the middle person."

"I'll give you his contact information, and you can contact him yourself," replied Xavier without even looking at her.

An hour later, Yulissa and Christopher met.

"I know you," remarked Christopher as soon as he saw Yulissa.

Gracefully smoothening her fringe, Yulissa uttered with a smile, "Your way of hitting on girls is a little outdated, Captain Bennett."

Christopher slightly raised the corner of his mouth and pushed a piece of A4 paper over.

When Yulissa lowered her head to look at it, her expression immediately changed.

It was her toxicology report.

"You're so insensitive, Captain Bennett."

Christopher looked solemn. "Ms. White, let me tell you something. If you cooperate with us, we'll help you to fight for a sentence reduction."

"I will definitely cooperate with you." The woman smiled softly. "Am I not actively doing so now? Other than cooperating with you on this case, I can also help you get a beauty." Hearing that, Christopher frowned. "What do you mean, Ms. White?"

"There's no need to be shy, Captain Bennett," she stated seductively. "I'm talking about Winnie Garland. As long as you cooperate with me, I can help you steal her from Xavier." Spread the love
