Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)
Chapter 130

Having said that, Nathaniel walked and stood next to Winnie.

Using fluent formal Ustranasion, he introduced Winnie to the rest.

"Now, I formally introduce the major shareholder of Garland Group to everyone present here, Winnie Garland. From today onward, Ms. Winnie Garland will hold the position of CEO and will also be the chairperson of the board of directors. Her every decision ultimately represents the intent of Garland Group."

"What?" a bespectacled man exclaimed in shock. "Where on earth did this Winnie Garland come from? Mr. Quinn, is there a mistake? According to Daniel, I remember that you're the one who was supposed to take over Garland Group! You are supposed to be a member of the board of directors but won't interfere with the company's managerial decisions and execution. We will still be at our posts, working for the betterment of the company."

"I'm terribly sorry, mister," Nathaniel answered expressionlessly. "I'm afraid that your information is inaccurate. I have always been working under the orders of Ms. Winnie Garland with the acquisition of Garland Group. Therefore, she is my employer."

"How could this be? Did you plan all of this?" Hamish, who listened by the side, felt everything that happened was too unreal.

He didn't know why he was sitting here and why he had to experience all that.

He even wanted to charge at Winnie. Alas, Nathaniel's two bodyguards were quick to catch Hamish and subdued him.

Hamish's entire face was pressed down onto the conference table. Resentment was evident in his eyes.

"Winnie! I knew you were putting on an act! You were the one behind all those things, right? You are taking revenge for your mother! You want me dead! I'm sure of it!"

After being yelled at by Hamish, Winnie stood up.

She put both her hands on the table and slightly bent herself to examine her father's face.

"Your face is as disgusting as ever. Yes, you are right. This time, I am here to get revenge for my mother. However, I never intended for you to die. Do you know why? It is because letting you die is too light a punishment for you. So, I decided to snatch away the things you love, like your wealth, your reputation, and your social status. I will take every single thing you dearly love. Are you angry right now? Do you feel the rage boiling inside you? Do you want to rush at me and hit and abuse me as you used to when I was young? Too bad. You realize that you can't move a muscle against me right now. I believe you are feeling resentful, feeling so angry that you're about to explode. I know that because I can see it through your bulging eyes. But what other choice do you have? You can't do anything to me. Did it not cross your mind I'm not stupid at all? Jokes on you! You've never guessed that a stupid girl like me can become the owner of Garland Group. From now on, although the name of Garland Group stays the same, the word 'Garland' will only mean the Garland in my name, Winnie Garland, and my mother's, Lorelei Garland. It will not be related to Hamish Garland in any way at all. After this, you should go back to wherever sewer you've crawled up from and rot inside! Scum!"

Winnie's every word seemed like a spark that could make Hamish burst into flames right this instant.

Hamish had already hurt his organs from the fight earlier, and what Winnie did was quite literally adding insult to injury.

At this moment, Hamish couldn't feel anything. The one thing he could feel was his blood vessels bursting open.

Suddenly, he couldn't hold it in anymore and spat out a big mouthful of blood.

Some of his blood splattered onto Winnie's hand. As Winnie wiped it off in a disgusted expression, she ordered the bodyguards, "Throw him out."

Getting rid of her biological father, Hamish Garland, and enraging him to the point he was spurting mouthfuls of blood was the perfect opportunity to set an example for others.

The remaining small fries didn't even have a chance to talk to Winnie.

One hour ago, these people turned a blind eye when Daniel tried to drag Winnie off. None of them stopped Daniel, so naturally, Winnie wouldn't spare any of them.

Moreover, these people were the parasites of Garland Group, so they had it coming.

Nevertheless, Winnie had set her eyes on someone.

"Jasmine, are you willing to be my assistant? Of course, you can choose to stay with Nathaniel." Winnie faintly smiled at the young woman who stood up for Winnie when she pretended to be mentally challenged.

Jasmine glanced at Nathaniel before turning to look at Winnie.

She then realized that she couldn't tear her eyes off the charismatic Winnie.

Winnie is so cool and awesome! She's very decisive and dignified! I really admire her!

"Ms. Garland! Yes, I am willing! Thank you so much for the opportunity! I will do my best!"

Nathaniel said, "Oh, my dear Vinnie, you poached my employee."

Smiling, Winnie patted Nathaniel's back and said, "Thank you so much for letting her go. As thanks, today's dinner will be on me!"

"Heavens! Are my ears playing tricks on me? Vinnie, does this mean you've finally agreed to have dinner with me?"

"If you don't mind, that is."

"Oh! Gladly so!"

At the restaurant, Nathaniel stole many glances at Winnie.

In the end, Winnie simply put down her knife and fork and sat there unabashedly, letting him stare at her for all he wanted.

Instantly, Nathaniel felt a bit ashamed and explained, "Please forgive me for my rudeness, but Vinnie, there's something I have to say to you. You're so beautiful, like Chanaea's treasure. You are perfect, too, like those intricate porcelain pieces from Chanaea."

"Thank you for your compliments, but if you keep staring at me like that, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish your meal any time soon."

"Okay, my bad. Oh, right! I didn't know you were the Garland family's idiot. Now that I know, may I ask you a question?"

"Sure. Go ahead."

"Is your marriage with the CEO of Fairchild Corporation, Xavier Fairchild, real?"

Winnie paused and thought for a moment before answering his question truthfully, "My dear Nathaniel, I know you like Aplothian women, but please, I don't have any interest in starting a romantic relationship with you. Let's just remain as business partners."

"God, you saw through me. Actually, I'm a bit curious about the Fairchild family since the Garland family and the Fairchild family are in a marriage alliance. Moreover, as you are Xavier's legal wife, you must know he had gone missing for some time because of an accident, right?"

"Yes. I know about it."

"However, he returned a few days ago and sued his younger male cousin. They even went to court. Additionally, I also know that this matter is being kept under wraps. So, I'm not sure whether you know about this. Do you know?"

"Really? Honestly, I don't." A slight frown appeared on Winnie's face. "I was busy with my own matters, so I didn't pay attention to the Fairchild family that much. Anyway, for my next step, I will place all my focus on Garland Group."

"Perfect! I'll help you with the reorganization of Garland Group."

The news that Garland Group had a new owner and went through a major management shake-up sent waves through the whole of Avenport.

Most importantly, the idiot of the Garland family who also held the title of Xavier's mentally-challenged wife wasn't stupid anymore. Surprisingly, she had even become the owner of Garland Group overnight. The shocking news instantly spread like wildfire across the whole city, and almost everyone in Avenport knew about this.

As for Winnie, she had received a phone call from someone unexpected - Rufus Fairchild.
