“Which door are you talking about?” Winnie asked.
The old lady pointed at the door again and said, “It’s that iron door over there. Do you see it?”
Winnie was speechless as she took a long sigh instead. As the place was an old residential area, the
first-floor units were all fitted with an iron door. Winnie absolutely had no idea which door the old lady
was referring to.
The old lady, too, noticed the situation and thought about it before saying, “Since I have nothing better
to do, why don’t I take you over there?”
“That would be great! Thank you so much!” Winnie didn’t bring any money with her, so she hurriedly
told the security guard to take out some money, hoping to reward the old lady.
However, the old lady waved her hand and refused. “No, no! I’m just showing you the way. I wanted to
go over there to see if there are any plastic bottles.”
Winnie didn’t want to waste her time persuading the old lady. She then followed the latter’s lead and
headed toward the old residential area.
The granny spoke as she led the way. “Since the place is about to be demolished, most of them had
already moved away to their newly allocated houses.”
Then, she pushed a door open and said, “This door opens as soon as I push it. It must be deserted
inside. It was this door that the tall man entered just now.”
“All right. Thank you so much again!” As Winnie spoke, she quickly shoved a few hundred into the old
lady’s pocket. “Please don’t refuse anymore. I’m really in a hurry to get inside to look for someone.”
Having heard Winnie speak like that, the old lady no longer refused the young lady’s reward.
She could only say, “Go inside, then. I won’t be joining you guys.”
Winnie did not respond to the old lady’s words. Instead, she switched on her phone’s flashlight function
and entered the house with the security guard.
Behind them, the old lady shut the iron door right away.
Winnie followed behind the security guard as she shouted Xavier’s name.

pitch-dark house.
Winnie hurriedly shone the flashlight on her phone toward the corner where the noise was coming
from.
“Is that you, Xavier?” Winnie asked anxiously.
However, no one in the room responded, but there seemed to be something moving in a corner.
Just by looking at the figure, it was very similar to a human body figure.
Furrowing her eyebrows, Winnie turned around and said to the security guard, “Follow me, and shine
the light ahead for me as well.”
“Okay!” In truth, the security guard was quite nervous, but fortunately, he was not alone, so he was not
so afraid anymore.
However, before they could reach the corner, a crackling sound could be heard in the room, similar to
the sound of an electrical current.
At the same time, the security guard let out a scream but soon lost his voice as he was knocked out by
a taser, collapsing onto the ground with a thud.
Winnie was quick to react. Realizing the security guard was attacked by someone hiding inside the
house, she did not bother whether the attacker was Xavier or someone else.
She then turned around and ran toward the door. Considering the situation, Winnie must first ensure
her own safety.
Just as she opened the door, Winnie was confronted by an old, sinister face, smiling creepily at her.
In an instant, a stun baton was pressed against Winnie’s tummy.
Soon, a surge of electricity ran through her limbs, and she quickly lost consciousness.
Before she collapsed to the ground, Winnie recognized the person who had attacked her with a stun
baton.
It was actually the old lady who led her to that place!
Smack!
The other person in the room turned on the lights.
Under the dim lights, the shabby and dilapidated room revealed its entire interior.
Aside from the security guard and Winnie, who were knocked out respectively, there was indeed
someone else lying in the corner of the room. That person was Xavier.
Seeing all three of them lying on the ground, a woman wearing a black baseball cap and holding a stun
gun could not resist sneering at them.
As she held the stun gun in her hand, the woman exclaimed to herself, “This thing works so well. Why
hadn’t I thought of this before?”
As she spoke, the woman removed her cap and revealed her true self.
She was actually Yulissa!
In fact, she had come for Winnie that day.
Seeing Winnie being ridiculously hyped up by the press, Yulissa felt compelled to drag Winnie from
heaven to the dark abyss.
Yulissa had spent the whole day getting ready near the park.
However, since Winnie was Garland Group’s main star for their fiftieth-anniversary celebration, it was
pretty hard to get close to her.
Just then, Yulissa eavesdropped on a phone conversation between Xavier and Josiah.
At that time, she happened to be near Xavier. She saw that the latter became enraged and destroyed
his phone. He also failed to follow through on his promise to Josiah to go to the hospital.
After giving it some thought, Yulissa decided to abduct Xavier.
At that time, Xavier’s emotions had gotten the better of him. Using Winnie as bait, Yulissa succeeded in
bringing Xavier here.
Furthermore, Yulissa’s guess was right. Josiah immediately asked Winnie for help after he couldn’t get
in touch with Xavier.
As expected, Winnie did come looking for him, and she was tricked by an old lady who was picking up
trash nearby to go to them.
In truth, it wasn’t actually a lie. After all, Xavier was really lying unconscious inside the house.

Unfortunately, Winnie was incapable of taking him away.
Yulissa’s purpose that day was very clear, and that was to use up all the venom she had left.
Yulissa had asked the old lady working for her to keep an eye on things outside the house while she
opened a small silver briefcase.
There were a few dozen syringes loaded with venom inside the briefcase.
As she took out a syringe from the briefcase, Yulissa walked straight toward Winnie.
However, she did not notice Xavier, who was behind her, had opened his eyes.
Even though both his eyes were still very red, the manic and anxious effect in his body had gradually
calmed down, which was probably due to the electric shock Yulissa gave him beforehand.
Xavier was in a daze when he regained consciousness.
Aside from being unable to recall what happened previously, he didn’t know why he was there.
His memory was still stuck at the point in time when he avoided Winnie and went to call Josiah.
But I was just making a phone call. How on earth did I end up here?
Xavier rubbed his forehead as he slowly sat up. Just then, he saw Winnie, who was lying on the
ground.
What is Dumbo doing here as well? Why is there a woman walking toward her with a syringe in her
hand? Is she trying to harm Dumbo right in front of me? Impossible! No one can harm Xavier Fairchild’s
woman!
Xavier narrowed his eyes. A sharp and menacing glint flashed across them.
Instantly, he got up and rushed over, kicking the woman who had devious intentions toward Winnie,
sending her flying two meters away.
The woman was sent flying after his kick. She turned around to look with a pained and astonished
expression.
At that moment, Xavier caught a glimpse of the woman’s face.
His gaze was cold and harsh. With an icy voice, he said, “So it’s you, Yulissa!”
