Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

“Look into this! Check every surveillance camera on the road carefully and don’t miss any

of them.” “Got it, Mr. Fairchild,” the tall and thin man who stood behind Xavier all this time

answered. The man’s name was Louis Tanser. He was Xavier’s assistant and a capable

person in his work. Stuart had transferred him to a remote branch of the company during

the time Xavier was in a “vegetative state,” but now that Xavier had regained control of

the company, he had also been transferred back. “Also, Walter is the driver who has been

with me the longest and has been loyal to me over the years. Transfer ten million over to

his family. I heard that he has a daughter who is in school. I’ll fund her education from now

on.” “Okay. I’ll make the arrangements later.” Winnie groaned as she stretched her body

and opened her eyes. In the earlier car accident, both she and Xavier merely sustained

minor abrasions and were fine. However, the driver in the front seat was seriously injured.

She accidentally fell asleep while waiting for surgery to end, and now, she had no idea

how much time had passed and whether the person was saved. However, judging from

Xavier’s expression, it seemed that it was an unfavorable outcome. “How’s the driver,

Handsome? Is he all right? Can he drive us home now?” Winnie asked innocently. Xavier

replied with a gloomy expression, “We’ll take another car back. He’s gone.” As he spoke, a

body covered with a white cloth was pushed out. Winnie was aware of what he meant, but

she still put on a goofy grin and grabbed his hand. “Oh! Then let’s go too!” Xavier let her

slender hand pull him away. Neither of them noticed that at the corner of the corridor, a

suspicious person was taking photos in secret. Soon, a news article headline wrote: The

famous comatose son of the Fairchild family in Avenport has woken up! Another wrote:

Scandal! The Fairchild family even gave their previously comatose son a wife to celebrate

the joyous occasion! Feudal dregs! Another headline wrote: Shocking news! The new bride

of the Fairchild family is mentally challenged! An article’s headline wrote: The Fairchild

family is ungrateful. After the comatose son woke up, he tried to abandon his mentally

challenged bride! Within a few hours, the news exploded on the internet. By the time

Xavier found out and blocked the news completely, it had already spread across the

country. Rufus’ phone call also came at the first opportunity. “Xavier, have you read the

news on the Internet? What’s going on?” Xavier pinched between his furrowed brows.

“Yes. They were brought down in the shortest possible time. I’m trying to find out who is

behind it.” “You just took back control of the company, and such negative news came out.

It seems that someone can’t stand to see you doing well and wants to defame you. Look

into the matter! No matter who is behind it, we’ll never let them off easily.” “I know that,

Granddad. Don’t worry about this. Just walk your dog and have coffee at ease.” In order

not to worry the old man, Xavier made no mention of the car accident the night before.

However, he clearly knew that these two things that happened in a row were aimed at

him, and the clues of the culprit all pointed to the same people—Stuart and Zyon. “By the

way, Xavier, there is one more thing.” Rufus said, “For the stability of our Fairchild family,

I’m afraid you can’t divorce Winnie for the time being. If you dump her at this time, our

family’s reputation will be damaged. Your dad has been seizing power abroad all these

years, and we can’t drag him down here, so you’ll have to endure this, Xavier.” Xavier

frowned slightly as the image he saw when he woke up that morning of Winnie curled up

in his arms and sleeping soundly came into his mind. If I can’t divorce Dumbo, then I’ll let

her stay with me and take good care of her like a sister. Meanwhile, in the playroom of

Lagune Mansion, Winnie could not help but smile upon seeing the overwhelming

discussions among the netizens. She originally wanted to spend some effort to come up

with a trick to remain in the Fairchild family but never expected that someone would pave

the way for her. One of the news headlines wrote: The Fairchild family is ungrateful. After

the comatose son woke up, he tried to abandon his mentally challenged bride! With such

news exploding, even if it were for the sake of Fairchild Corporation’s stock prices, Xavier

probably wouldn’t divorce me anytime soon. Besides, it’ll be Old Mr. Fairchild’s birthday in

a few months, when the younger generation of the Fairchild family scattered all over the

country will come to congratulate him. That’ll be the best time for me to find clues about

my cousin. Winnie was in a good mood, and even the tone of her voice was merry.

Nathaniel, who was on the other end of the phone, evidently sensed it as well. “Well,

Gator. You seem to be in a good mood today. Is it because I’m coming to you soon?” “Back

off! Stop flirting with me, playboy. Let’s get down to business.” “Oh, my dear Ms. Gator.

You are still so heartless. Let’s talk about Garland Group then. The business hasn’t been

doing well in recent years, so the president of the company, Hamish, has set his sights on

investment. Since he’s new to it, we’ll tailor-make a plan for him. Once he falls into the

trap, he won’t be able to get out, and when the time comes, you can reap the harvest.”

“That’s right. Creating trouble and laying traps are your specialties. I trust your ability.”

“Thank you for your trust, my dear Gator, but still, Chanaea is not my home ground.

Remember I mentioned to you before that I have a good alumnus in Avenport? I plan to

collaborate with him this time.” “No problem. If there is anything I need to cooperate with,

just say it.” “Heavens! You know me too well. We are truly a perfect match.” “Save it!”

“Okay. The thing is, I’ve been busy with Rodunst’s Plan A recently, so I can’t go over to you

at the moment, but my alumnus is a difficult person, so I need you to negotiate with him

in person. Can you do that?” “Sure. Send me the time, location, and his information.”

Although Asiatic was a little-known small company, Winnie had a deep impression of it and

the big player behind it. Normally, investment companies wanted to make money, but the

person behind this company seemed to treat it as a “game” and challenge. All the cases

he handled were the kind that involved counterattacks and turning the tides. There were

several cases worth tens of billions that came to him, but he refused all of them with the

excuse that they were too smooth sailing and boring! The person was very arrogant but

also extremely capable. There was a time when Winnie badly wanted to compete with

him, but she could not track him down. All because he’s too mysterious! It’s impossible to

find out anything about him! The details Nathaniel provided her also had little useful

information, not even the person’s real name and photo. Hence, she was very much

looking forward to their meeting! Back in the CEO’s office of Fairchild Corporation, Xavier

received a message that wrote: My dear alumni, it’s a shame that I can’t come to meet

you this time, but my partner “Gator” will go there in my place. I hope you’ll be interested

in this case. At present, it was the busiest time for him, so Xavier did not intend to accept

any invitation other than those arranged by the company. However, Nathaniel mentioned

“Gator,” a god-like figure in the Adrune investment community, and that had successfully

caught his attention!
