Chapter 154
Josiah cast a surprised nce at Xavier.“Did Louis not inform you of this?” he asked in curiosity.“Of
course not.” Xavier frowned deeply, an antagonistic look in his gaze. “Louis told me Dumbo was trying
to get something across the border for you, Josiah.”Xavier was initially leaning against his office desk
but straightened his posture all of a sudden.He stared at Josiah in all seriousness. “What are you
plotting that you need Dumbo to cross the border in your stead?”“What’s your guess?” Josiah suddenly
got the urge to peek into Xavier’s mind.Xavier furrowed his brows. “Is it really illegal drugs?”Remaining
silent, Josiah heaved a sigh. “It’s not anything illegal. It was the drug that brought you harm, but it might
also be the key to saving you. Yulissa had injected a hefty dose of it into you, so your dear Dumbo was
about to bring those overseas to have them analyzed by foreign authorities. Do you get it now?”After
hearing that, Xavier studied Josiah with an incredulous look on his face, then nced at Winnie with a
simr expression.“You believed him? You believed in the bullsh*t Josiah said and were about to bring
those drugs abroad even if you had to lie to me about it, saying that you were visiting your
granny?”Winnie and Josiah exchanged nces before heaving inaudible sighs.It seemed that Xavier
had yet to recall that segment of his memory at all.“Forget about what Josiah mentioned. All you need
to know is that I wasn’t about to bring anything illegal abroad. Since we have decided to rify this at
the press conference, we should prepare our speech. Send someone from the PR department.”“All
right.” Xavier wore a frown. Whenever Josiah spewed some odd nonsense, his mind would go
nk.He was not sure what was happening, but he trusted Winnie unconditionally and was willing to
extend that trust to Josiah.When they were awaiting the arrival of the employees from the Public
Rtions Department, Winnie asked Xavier, “You didn’t even know what I brought to the airport, nor
did you have any idea what happened over there. What gave you the courage to put me in charge of
dealing with the press? Aren’t you afraid that you might screw up?”Without even thinking, Xavier
sniggered. “Hah! I, Xavier Fairchild, always strike first, no matter if I’m in the right.”Josiah raised his
hand in agreement. “I can testify for that. He had always been like that growing up, possessing the
traits of someone domineering. However, this trait has been amped up as ofte.”“I see.” WinnieN?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.
arched her brow and went on with her interrogation of Xavier. “What if both Josiah and I were in
cahoots and had gotten our hands on some illegal drugs?”Furrowing his brows, Xavier took a few
moments to contemte it but put on a sinister smirk afterward.“So what? You’re innocent to me as
long as you im to be. I find in the two of you my friend and my woman respectively, so I will not let
such a predicament befall you two. Therefore, make sure everything goes ording to n at the
press conferenceter on, understand?”Josiah was touched by his words. “And here I am assuming
you’ve forgotten all about me ever since you got yourself a girlfriend!”Xavier’s expression changed in
an instant. “But you have to make sure to stay away from my Dumbo!”Winnie did not say
anything. Here we go again.Soon, Louis came with the employees from the Public Rtions
Department.The team leader was in charge of drafting a speech for Winnie, while a managerial staff
came to report the results of his investigation. “Mr. Fairchild, Mrs. Fairchild, ording to the URL and
public social media ount ID that Mr. Tanser provided, we have dug up the mastermind behind the
incident. If we’re not mistaken, these are the two studios behind it. After a detailed investigation, it was
found that both studios have been dormant for about a year. Thest time they were active was
fourteen months ago. They were advertising for a male celebrity from the entertainment industry as well
as either praising or defaming other hotshot celebrities who were active around the same time. All the
reviews andments on others, either negative or positive, that were put out by these two studios,
were in service of that male celebrity.”“Oh?” Xavier smirked mirthlessly. “How dare a lowly actor
challenge my supreme authority? Who is he? And what’s his name?”“Um…” The manager of the Public
Rtions Department was a little hesitant. With his mouth agape, he was not sure what to say at that
moment.However, he could not remain silent in the face of the CEO’s question, so he turned to Louis,
who was standing at the side, with a pleading look.Having noticed the manager’s plea for help, Louis
spoke up in response to Xavier’s question.“Mr. Fairchild, we discovered that the celebrity is none other
than your younger cousin, Nate Fraser.”“Nate?” Xavier wore a deep frown, apparently perplexed by the
situation.Meanwhile, Winnie, given her retentive memory, instantly recalled information about Nate the
moment Louis made mention of Nate being Xavier’s cousin.She chuckled softly. “I see. I get what’s
going on now.”“What do you get?” With a segment of his memory gone, Xavier could hardly piece
things together. “Did you offend him? How could this be? You never even crossed paths with each
other.”“They had.” Josiah had also connected the dots. “Although they had never interacted directly
with each other, they had indirect contact.”“Have you also figured things out?” Xavier felt as if his head
was getting dizzy.“Yeah. It was because of Yulissa’s death. To be frank, back when you, Yulissa, and
Nate were in a love triangle, Nate was already an avid fan of Yulissa’s. Nearing the end of it, you and
Nate nearly had a falling out because of Yulissa. With Yulissa dead, and Dumb—Winnie being
maliciously reported, I suppose Nate must’ve received some sort of news, or he had kept in touch with
Yulissa before this. It was thus he held such an intense grudge toward Winnie. It’s likely he wants to
avenge Yulissa.”What the heck is this? Xavier pinched in between his brows. “Did you just say Yulissa
is dead? Hadn’t she left Chanaea long ago? What does Dumbo have to do with her death?”“Yes, she is
dead. She tried to harm both you and Winnie, and you killed her when you retaliated in self-
defense.”Xavier did not know what to say to that, feeling that the veins in his temples could pop at any
moment. “What are you talking about? Since when did you be a scriptwriter?”He found such a
turn of events funny. “Besides, it has been years since Ist heard from her, let alone meet with her.
D*mn… My head hurts like hell. Are you some sort of nemesis to me, Josiah? My head hurts every
time you speak.”He was not lying when he said his head hurt. There were even beads of sweat on his
forehead.Worried that he might go into a frenzy due to overstimtion, Winnie hurried over to him and
patted his back lightly.“You should stop thinking about it if your head hurts. Let your brain rest. I’ll take
care of this on my own, so you don’t need to do anything. I don’t care who that celebrity is. Whoever
plotting against me will be in deep trouble.”
