Xavier lowered his head and glanced at Winnie. “Do you think I don’t have the slightest trust in you? Is

your taste in men that bad?”

“Oh my.” She reached up and stroked his face. “You look like you’re really angry. Don’t get upset,

okay?”

Xavier replied after a long pause, “I’m not.”

“Then why do you still look so grim?”

“That’s my nature.”

“As if I’ll believe that.” Winnie rolled her eyes at him and lost any interest in comforting him. She sat up

and made to leave his embrace.

However, Xavier would not allow that and pulled her back into his arms. “You must be delighted now.

Tonight’s news is enough to blow up the internet. As long as none of us speak up to clarify the issue, it

will remain a hot topic.”

“Indeed.” Winnie was getting sleepy and yawned before continuing, “It’s best if it can spread across

every street and alley of Chanaea.”

Xavier was still sporting a stern expression. “Never use this tactic again. I don’t want to see others

talking about you like this online.”

She gave him a light punch. “But this isn’t part of my plan at all. It was unexpected, and Shania was the

biggest unforeseen factor!”

However, the result was just as the two had predicted.

Nate’s birthday banquet devolved into a complete farce. News in the entertainment industry had always

spread widely; moreover, it was regarding someone as popular as him.

After such a commotion last night, his image was on the verge of collapse, while Winnie instantly

became well-known by everyone.

Whether it was those supporting Nate or those taking the opportunity to defame him, they were all

frantically digging up her information.

Soon, Winnie and Nate were on the trending topics together.

Furthermore, the topic of her and Nate was trending more than that of Xavier and her.

Coupled with her intention to spend money on marketing, her affairs gained nationwide attention for

quite a long time.

However, no suspicious person appeared around her during that period.

Likewise, Xavier had not encountered any incidents since he was nearly hit by a flower pot.

There was nothing Winnie could not do about the outcome, but she did not expect that her news would

bring Wilhelm over.

…

Xavier was even more nervous than Winnie about Wilhelm’s decision to do that.

However, the latter’s visit was not unexpected as he had called Winnie in advance.

When she received the call, Xavier was busy drying her hair. He overheard the entire conversation and

ascertained that the news was the cause.

Wilhelm had previously put a lot of effort into deleting all of Winnie’s information from Chanaea, but she

became famous on the internet again in the blink of an eye.

The fact that it happened and it was still the same kind of scandalous news made him very unhappy, so

he planned to come to Avenport while he was on business to find out what was going on.

Hence, Xavier and Winnie received Wilhelm at Lagune Mansion two days later.

After learning about Winnie’s motives and plans, the latter also expressed his understanding. In any

case, there was no use in him objecting anymore.

After they had finished discussing her matter, she inquired about the purpose of Wilhelm’s trip.

Only then did she find out that his main purpose was to visit Erihal to inspect the diamond mines, but

the outcome did not appear to be satisfactory.

Xavier happened to be interested in this business, especially since it was something that Wilhelm

wished to develop, so he suggested collaborating with the latter.

He did this not only to further his interests but to strengthen his bonds with the Speiser family as well

because he wished to get their approval on his relationship with Winnie.

The Speiser family was the richest in the world, so he would not allow himself to be any lesser than

them.

As for Wilhelm, his eyes lit up immediately after Xavier mentioned that he had won the bid for the

development rights of a diamond mine and several gold mines in Alendor.

“I think we can discuss…”

Just like that, the two men stepped into the study amicably to discuss business.

Seeing that, Winnie was very happy about it.

They talked all afternoon and did not emerge from the study until before dinner.

The outcome of their discussion was an on-site inspection.

Winnie was quite surprised after hearing the news. “You reached a decision so soon?”

“We did.” Wilhelm gave Xavier a rare compliment. “Mr. Fairchild is a very resolute person, and I admire

his style of handling things.”

Winnie nodded. “Yes. I’ve long been aware of that. By the way, how long will you be there? When are

you leaving?”

“I’ll make some arrangements for the work at hand and leave probably the day after tomorrow. This

time, it’ll take at least half a month.” The person who spoke was Xavier.

Oh no, I am already missing my dumbo even before the trip.

He could not help but hold her hand in front of Wilhelm. “Do you want to go with us?” he asked.

Before Winnie could reply, Wilhelm did it for her. “She won’t go. She’s very afraid of the heat. Don’t you

know that?”

“Yes…” Winnie nodded at Xavier. “Don’t you know that? You guys go by yourselves since it’s your

business, not mine. Besides, I honestly don’t have any interest in gold and silver mines.”

“All right.” Xavier was a little disappointed but even more reluctant. “Since you don’t like that place,

don’t go then.”

Winnie refilled their wine glasses. “Then I wish you all the best in advance.”

What made her even happier was that the relationship between the two of her loved ones was slowly

easing up.

…

After Xavier and Wilhelm had gone abroad, Winnie went back to live with Jacinta.

The focus of her current work had always been on finding Harold and Greta, but unfortunately, neither

of those had made any substantial progress.

Her life, however, had changed as a result of being harassed and abused online by Nate’s fanatical

fans.

Once, several teenage girls dumped dirty water on her as she was leaving Garland Group.

They were only fourteen or fifteen years old at most and ran away after doing that. They even did

things like running a red light when crossing the road.

Winnie truly had no recourse against those children.

Although she did not publicize this matter, Nate somehow found out about it.

He tried to call her in the hope that she would give him a chance to apologize in person.

However, she thought it was unnecessary, so she rejected him many times.

Yet, she never expected that when she took Jacinta out to dinner this time, she would run into Nate’s

fanatical fans once more…
