“No way. Why is she calling me?” Josiah, who was in the car, reluctantly grabbed his phone.At the
same time, his grumbling also sessfully attracted Xavier’s attention. Thetter asked, “Who
called?”Josiah frowned while raising his phone toward the backseat. “It’s Yulissa! Did you block her
number? Why is she looking for me instead of you?”Xavier slightly furrowed his brows. “I don’t have the
habit of blocking people’s numbers. Pick up her call and see what she’s up to.”“All right!” Josiah replied
as he put his phone on speaker.Yulissa’s panting voice immediately sounded from the other side of the
line, “Where are you now, Josiah? Can youe to Aqua Moana?”Josiah knew something wasn’t right
upon hearing her voice. “What happened to you? Did your drug addiction rpse again?”“It did, but I
really don’t want to touch drugs anymore. Since you’re a doctor, you must have a way, right? Help me,
I’m begging you!” Yulissa pleaded.Xavier’s brows were tightly locked when he heard Yulissa’s words.
“Why did you ask Josiah to go to Aqua Moana when your addiction kicked in?”“Xavier?” Yulissa
sounded utterly surprised. “Are you currently with Josiah? No wonder no one opened the door when I
rang your house doorbell. I originally wanted to look for you to tell you something, but my drug
addiction suddenly rpsed. Where are you two now? Can you tell Josiah toe quickly? I’m
currently at the entrance to your house. I feel extremely horrible.”“All right then…” Josiah was
dumbfounded. “You should hide first. Don’t let the police arrest you before we return.”“That won’t
happen. No one will know about it. Please hurry back,” Yulissa responded.Josiah hummed in
acknowledgment before swiftly ending the call.The displeased Josiahined, “Does that woman
think of us as a shelter?”“Let’s go back now.” Given the current situation, Xavier certainly didn’t want
Yulissa to meet with a mishap.Firstly, it was because the woman could still be of use to him.Secondly,
she had taken Winnie’s badge, and Xavier had to retrieve it.“Okay, let’s return. I intend to drive you
back anyway. I’m your driver for today,” Josiah babbled. He then added, “Take it that I’m begging you.
Quickly settle that branch family of yours. I’ll truly die of fatigue if you continue pretending to be
dead.”Xavier scowled. “You don’t have to urge me.”I also hope to “rise from the dead” soon. I still need
to collect some debts from Dumbo. These emotional debts are veryplicated. I’m afraid they can’t
get settled within a year and a half. I can’t possibly sneak around like this for that long!Thus, before
Winnie could walk over, the suspicious ck car that Nancy mentioned left the scene.The ck car
sped off and was also far away from Winnie. Therefore, she couldn’t see the license te clearly.On
the other hand, Josiah caught a glimpse of the woman’s silhouette in the rearview mirror.He couldn’t
help but exim, “Fortunately, we left earlier. If not, she would havee over and caught you on the
spot.”As the car disappeared from her sight, Winnie couldn’t refrain from furrowing her brows. “D*mn!”
she cursed under her breath.I can’t believe that car just left like that!Just as she was trying toe up
with a solution, she received a phone call instantaneously.Winnie immediately answered the phone.
“What’s the matter, Nathaniel?”Nathaniel responded on the other end, “Vinnie, my dear. Between the
report about the progress and a predicament, which of the two do you want to hear first?” “Tell me
about the progress first,” Winnie answered. “I prefer handling a predicament at the end.”“All right, miss.
Thetest progress is that we’ll be able to conclude the matter in at most two weeks. By then, Gand
Group will belong to us.”“Okay. You didn’ty a hand on the travel and the logisticspanies, did
you?” Winnie wanted confirmation from Nathaniel again.She would never want anything that had any
connections to drugs.“Don’t worry!” Nathaniel chuckled. “I’ll absolutely not touch that if you forbid
me.”“What’s the predicament you mentioned before?” Winnie inquired.Nathaniel answered, “It’s the
other ten percent of the shares, aside from the shares that Hamish and the Gand Group’s minority
shareholders possess.”“Oh. Are you talking about the ten percent shares that belong to Hamish’s wife,
Yara?” Winnie questioned.“Oh, sweetie. You do know everything. From your tone, it doesn’t seem to be
a predicament to you. Nheless, that woman is truly hard to handle. She wouldn’t fall into whatever
trap we set for her,” Nathaniel replied.“That’s for sure.” Winnie chortled disdainfully. “She only knows
how to seize others’ properties and never use her possessions to invest. Since she doesn’t invest, she
naturally wouldn’t walk into our trap. Nevertheless, it’s not an issue for me. You can leave it to me.”“All
right, I’ll wait for your good news then. Anyway, do you want to have lunch together?” Nathaniel
suggested.“I’ll pass. I still have my elderly at home waiting for me, so I’ve to go back,” Winnie
declined.“No problem. After we seize Gand Group, we should hold a celebration at thepany’s
staff cafeteria. I heard that the food there is pretty decent.”“Sure,” the woman agreed.“Really? Oh,
babe.” Nathaniel became thrilled. “Is that a sign that I would be able to see your true appearance
soon?”“Of course!” Winnie eximed.When the timees, I’ll officially seize Gand Group before
everyone’s eyes and let Hamish have a taste of what it would be like to have his family destroyed and
face bankruptcy caused by his closest kin.Meanwhile, at Aqua Moana, Josiah had already given
Yulissa an injection and was now packing his medical kit.They were the only ones in the room since
Xavier didn’t enter the room from the start.Therefore, Yulissa tried to get more details from Josiah. “Oh,
right. Where did you and Xavier go previously? I thought it was inconvenient for him to go out at the
moment?”Josiah paused whatever he was doing and shot Yulissa a nce. “You can ask him
personally. He’ll tell you if he’s willing to. Otherwise, I’ll not say anything if he’s reluctant to share with
you.”Yulissa was stumped for words and could only grin resignedly. “Can I trouble you to call him in
when you leave? I’ve some important matters to tell him. As you can see, it’s very inconvenient for me
to go out too.”To ovee her drug addiction, Yulissa requested Josiah to bind her limbs together
despite having received the injection.Josiah nodded. “Okay. Just a moment.”With that, he carried his
medical kit and walked out of the room.A few minutester, Xavier expectedly entered the room in a
wheelchair.Xavier couldn’t bother to put on a pleasant facade when facing Yulissa. “What do you want
to say to me?”Yulissa’s brows knitted together slightly. She stared at the man as she spoke almost
inaudibly. “Do you have to stay so far away from me? I barely have the strength to speak. Can you
even hear me properly from this distance?”Xavier’s frown grew deeper.The man then turned around
and wheeled himself out wordlessly.
