When the call quickly connected, Xavier put it on speaker.In contrast to how rude Hayden was, the
landlord naturally answered obsequiously, given that it was his filthy-rich customer who was
calling.Without wasting any time, Xavier dered in front of Hayden and the mob, “I like your mansion.
I want to buy it at three times the market price.”The way the offer was made sounded exceptionally
casual as if he was buying something with his spare change.As for thendlord, he stammered in
shock, “T-Three times? Are you sure?”“Yes, all in cash. Please prepare the agreement ande over
at the first opportunity you have.”Thendlord could not hide the tion in his voice. “Sure, sure. I’ll get
it done now and will be right over shortly.”After grunting in acknowledgment, Xavier inquired in a
nonchnt tone, “By the way, I heard you’re well known on the ind. Since I’m unfamiliar with these
parts, could I get your help to resolve any trouble that I encounter?”“What? Which fool dares to cause
you trouble? Do you know his name? Just let me know, and I guarantee that I’ll teach him a lesson he’ll
never forget,” thendlord asserted with furrowed brows.“I don’t know his name.” Xavier looked up and
nced at the man in his thirties, who was standing beside Hayden. With an emotionless expression,
he added, “But you can talk to your nephew about it.”“Nephew? Which nephew?”The man beside
Hayden raised his hand at once. “Me! Uncle, it’s me, Spike.”“Spike, you son of a b*tch! What have you
done this time? Nothing good everes out of you. And yet, you don’t even bother to get a proper
job. Wait, why are you in my mansion? Thest time, your mom begged me…”In the midst of being
reprimanded, Spike quickly grabbed the phone and turned off its hands-free mode to prevent his
humiliating secrets from being exposed. Subsequently, he lowered his head to continue the call.Shortly
after that, Spike’s attitude underwent a seismic change.He would not only bow and apologize profusely
to Xavier but also p his own mouth.Under normal circumstances, Xavier was not into such drama.
However, on the ount of Spike’s sincerity, he decided to let the former off the hook.Relieved at being
forgiven, Spike returned Xavier’s phone respectfully before attempting to leave.Watching the scene that
had unfolded, Hayden admonished him in a low voice, “What are you doing? We haven’t even gotten
the girl and the money, so where do you think you’re going?”Spike shoved Hayden aside. “Are you an
idiot? Can’t you see this is someone you can’t afford to trifle with? My advice to you is to apologize and
leave.”As his words fell, Spike left with his men.Meanwhile, Hayden decided to lie on the ground
shamelessly after watching Xavier break his mob apart with just a single phone call.This mansion costs
at least a few million. Given that he’s willing to pay three times its value, he must be filthy rich. No
matter what, I must squeeze something out of him today.“Ahh, what a terrible life I have. After finally
being matchmade in my fifties, someone had toe out of nowhere to steal my wife. This is a grave
injustice that condemns the Briggs family to have no descendants. Why is my life so difficult? All I want
is to continue the line of my family. Besides, are we still stuck in the olden days? Given the rule of the
law applies now, how can one be allowed to take my wife just because he’s rich and powerful? My
fellow inders, I appeal to you to be the judge of my case. How can we, citizens of Sirona Ind,
allow one of us to be bullied by an outsider? Just look at me, covered entirely with wounds. This is how
badly they have beaten me when they took my wife.” At that moment, there were two groups of people
who remained in the mob after Spike had left. One was in cahoots with Hayden, while the other naively
wanted to seek justice for him after being lied to.As a result, Hayden’s attempt at ying victim caused
an uproar in the mob.“Exactly. So what if you’re rich?”“Get out of Sirona Ind!”“Hand the woman over.
Otherwise,pensate him for the mental distress he has suffered and us for missing work just to be
here.”“That’s right!” With the crowd hollering on his ount, Hayden began toment in tears, “I’ve
spent a lot of money in marrying this bride of mine. When she first arrived, I gave her the best of
everything. Now that he has taken her for the entire night, who knows what he has done to her?
Therefore, I demand to bepensated.”“Huh,” Xavier snorted inughter. “Who are you iming to
be your wife? Are you even worthy?”“Her!” Hayden adjusted his exceptionally thick spectacles while
lying through his teeth, “The woman behind you is my wife, and we’re officially married.”“Married?” The
more audacious Hayden’s words became, the graver Xavier’s expression turned. “What evidence do
you have? Do you have a marriage certificate?”Xavier’s words stunned Hayden. All he did was buy a
retarded woman, and Winnie was not even her. Thus, it was impossible for him to have a marriage
certificate.But this is Sirona Ind where locals rule the ce! Here, my word alone is
enough.“Marriage certificate or not, she’s my wife. Both my parents and my neighbors can attest to the
fact.”“Hmph, you might not have one, but I do.” No sooner had Xavier spoken than he turned to look at
Winnie.Not expecting him to suddenly turn around, Winnie reacted slowly as she looked in his
direction. It was then that their gazes locked with each other.She was well aware that they were legally
married, all thanks to Rufus. Back when Xavier was still lying in bed as a “vegetable,” Rufus had
completed the administrative process for it.Hence, Xavier was telling the truth when he imed that
they had a certificate as proof of their marriage.Since Winnie had never seen it before, she was
suddenly curious as to what it looked like.In Adrunian countries, the marriage certificate was different
from the ones found in Chanaea. One could easily get one as long as the government authorized
it.There were no pictures on them, and their exterior was not protected by a red cover.That was the
reason why she was so intrigued by it.As she looked at Xavier, her eyes began to fill with
anticipation.Retracting his gaze from her face, Xavier took out his phone.After censoring the sensitive
portions, he shed his phone in front of Hayden and the rest of the inders to show them the
marriage certificate.“Look closely. Both of us are the ones who are legally married. I’m sure none of you
have any doubts as to who the victim is and who deservespensation now.”As the inders
crowded forward to take a look, they began chattering among themselves. “It’s true. I have no doubt it’s
them. The seal from City Hall is definitely real too. What’s going on, Hayden? Don’t tell us you actually
bought a bride.”“Let me see.” Winnie was overwhelmed by curiosity, for she had never seen her own
marriage certificate before. Yet, those who had nothing to do with it that got to see it first.She then
walked up to Xavier and took the phone from his hand.
