“Get lost!” Zyon waved his arm in an attempt to stop Winnie from approaching him.Josiah reacted
quickly. He nced at both sides and pretended not to see Winnie.“Who are you talking to, Mr.
Fairchild?” he asked Zyon in surprise. “Why are you seated on the ground all of a sudden? You have
not fully recovered, so you can’t just sit on the ground as you please.”Zyon was about to lose his mind.
He pointed at Winnie as he backed away. “Are you blind? Can’t you see her?”Josiah deliberately
nced behind him. “Who are you talking about? I can’t see a thing. Do you see anyone, Mr.
Tanser?”“Er…” Louis gave a dry cough. Though he felt ufortable telling a bald-faced lie, he was
very amodating. “No, I don’t see anyone at all.”“Let’s go. Help me up!” Zyon had received a curse
several years ago in a small country in Southeast Aploth, so he was wary about supernatural
matters.He clutched onto the caretaker’s leg and ordered thetter to take him away. This is a hospital.
Hospitals are cursed.Winnie was speechless with surprise as she did not expect Zyon to be scared so
easily. That was a spontaneous idea. I haven’t even begun to dig in, and he’s already in such a
state.The caretaker helped Zyon up, and the door to the ward opened from within just as they were
about to leave.Rufus’ butler emerged from the ward and nced at the crowd in the corridor. “Dr.
Houghton, Mrs. Fairchild, and Mr. Zyon, Old Mr. Fairchild requests your presence.”“All right,” said
Josiah.“Okay,” responded Winnie.Zyon regained his senses when Winnie spoke. “You’re not dead?
You’re not a ghost! You were messing with me, aren’t you? The three of you are ganged up against me
in a deception!”Josiah smirked. “As the saying goes: ‘One need not have anything to fear if one has a
clear conscience.’ Have you been up to no good that you’re this frightened in broad daylight, Mr. Zyon?
I presume you have something to do with your cousin’s disappearance some time ago.”Zyon red
ferociously at him. “Stop using me, or I’ll sue you for nder!”Josiah raised his eyebrows. “Then I’ll
await the letter from yourwyer, Mr. Zyon.”Without another word, he escorted Winnie into the
ward.Zyon was worried that Winnie would run her mouth to Rufus, so he quickly called for the
caretaker to help him overtake them and enter the ward before they did.He was already engaged in
conversation with Rufus when Winnie and the rest entered.They found him putting on an act before his
grandfather. “I’ve just seen Winnie, Grandpa. She’s back. Did you know about this?”“I do,” Rufus
lamented as he nodded. “Louis already told me Xavier had been looking for Winnie before his
disappearance. Though Winnie has made it back, there’s still no news of him. Poor Xavier.”“Oh,
Grandpa.” Zyon pretended to wipe away a tear. “Maybe Xavier isn’t meant for this world. He became
paralyzed after his car identst year and nearly did not regain consciousness. I’m afraid his
chances are slim with him lost out in the vast world. However, Grandpa, you still have me even if Xavier
is gone. I’ll be by your side from now on. There will be no ce but Avenport for me for the rest of my
life. I know I’m inferior to Xavier in every way, but I swear to work hard to fill his shoes. I believe that I
will be as good as him one day.” “As for Winnie,” Zyon concluded as he gazed at Winnie with
feigned pity, “I will care for her as Xavier treasured her so.”“Oh, Zyon.” Rufus sighed. His eyes turned
red as he patted the former’s arm. “You are the only grandson I have left now with Xavier gone. Can
you really fill your cousin’s shoes at the helm of Fairchild Corporation?”“Don’t worry, Grandpa! I am
your grandson. You are a giant amongst men, and I, Zyon, will not prove myself incapable! I will be up
for the task of leading Fairchild Corporation.”Though his expression was grim, Zyon was inwardly
delighted.Rufus’ resilience weakened as time went on. Initially refusing to believe Xavier’s demise, he
appeared to have entirely epted it then.He even relented to have me take Xavier’s ce! Excellent!
Truly excellent!However, a voice of objection rang out at that moment.“Mr. Fairchild.” Louis gazed
gravely at Rufus. “You can’t just hand the position over to Mr. Zyon before Mr. Xavier is found. He is
completely unfamiliar with thepany’s operations.”“Hold your tongue!” Zyon interjected loudly. “This
decision has been made by the members of the Fairchild family. Who are you to object? Is this your
ce to speak?”“How dare you!” Louis was so angry that his chest puffed up, and he decided to go all
out. “The truth is, Mr. Fairchild, I suspect Mr. Xavier’s disappearance to have something to do with
Zyon, and I have reason to believe he paid a private investigator to leak the false news to lure Mr.
Xavier out to sea, which is where he met the ident.”“Preposterous! What evidence do you have? I
think you’re just looking out for yourself. You’re afraid to lose the position of assistant to the CEO, so
you’re smearing my name.”“I am not!” Louis flushed red instantly. “Mrs. Fairchild can attest to the fact
that you are a murderer who would risk the lives of others for your own end!”“Oh?” Zyon was amused.
“She’s a simpleton. What can she prove?”“Tell the Chairman, Mrs. Fairchild. Tell him what you went
through that night!” Louis begged Winnie.Winnie pursed her lips. Her wide, discerning eyes filled with
tears immediately as she trotted to the side of the bed.“I didn’t be lost on my own, Grandpa
Rufus,” she said forlornly to the old man. “It was that meanie, Zyon, and my sister. They were the ones
who pushed me off the cliff, and I almost fell to my death. Oh, it hurt! My arms and legs hurt. My whole
body hurts.”“What did you say?” Rufus gaped at Winnie before turning to Zyon. “Zyon pushed you off
the cliff? You are a good girl, Winnie. Good girls tell no lies, do you understand?”“Yes, I know. Children
who lie will grow long noses. My nose did not grow, so I’m not telling a lie.” As Winnie spoke, big drops
of tears rolled down her cheeks.The stupid woman’s tears contain venom. Zyon cussed inwardly while
watching Rufus swayed by several words from Winnie.“Did Louis bribe you?” Zyon asked Winnie at
once. “I didn’t ?see you at Grandpa’s birthday party, and I’m not even acquainted with your sister. How
could I have joined forces with her to harm you? At least think through your lie before telling it!”
