    “No!” Xavier countered without even thinking about it. “You’re my woman, so how could I sit idly by


    when it’s something to do with you? Louis, help me set up an appointment with Nate.”“No, it’s okay!”


    Louis had already responded in the affirmative, but Winnie lifted a hand and stopped him from putting it


    into action.“Uh… Mr. Xavier, Mrs. Fairchild…” Louis alternated his gaze between his employer and the


    latter’s wife, feeling very much conflicted.Seeing that, Winnie instructed straight away, “Do as I


    said.”“Hmm?” Xavier gave her a meaningful look, sensing that his status as the CEO was under


    threat.Winnie stared back at him. “Do you have a problem with that? We’re now discussing my matters.


    I can keep my nose out of the affairs of Fairchild Corporation, but I want to be the master of my own


    affairs.”For a moment, Xavier was left without a rebuttal.He pondered for a while before asserting, “But


    you’re my woman.”“So what? You’re also my man,” Winnie riposted.Frowning, Xavier uttered the most


    misogynistic remark—”When someone picks on my woman, she doesn’t need to retaliate personally.


    As my woman, the only thing she needs to do is to keep herself young and beautiful, serving me when I


    have need of her—”Good Lord! What nonsense is he spouting? Winnie pped her hand over his


    mouth.Don’t tell me, he wanted to say that his woman only needed to serve him well in bed!“Shut up.


    Let me repeat it—I’ll handle this matter myself. You’re not allowed to interfere before I request that you


    lend me a hand, or else!” Winnie hissed through gritted teeth.“Or else what?” Tugging off the hand


    covering his mouth, Xavier dipped his head and leaned close to her with a devilish chuckle. In a deep


    voice, he whispered teasingly into her ear, “Hmm, Dumbo?”At once, embarrassment inundated Winnie


    that the man was acting so intimately with her in public.She inhaled deeply before shoving his head


    away. “Or else I’ll dump you!”Xavier promptly bristled. “You wouldn’t dare!”“Just you wait and see! I’m


    serious. At that time, I’ll leave you to fend for yourself. Regardless of whether you’re dull-witted or mad,


    I won’t bother about you anymore!” Winnie didn’t give him any leeway.She wasn’t joking, and Xavier


    evidently realized that as well.Unbidden, mystification swamped him. Is this still the Dumbo of mine


    who is weak and cries at the drop of a hat?Never had he seen her so imposing before.He stood rooted


    to the spot for a long moment, sensing the nk spot in his mind growing in epic proportions.It was asAll content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    though a part of his life, or perhaps more urately speaking, his memories, were missing.He tried his


    utmost best to fill that void, but his irritation grew the more he attempted to do so. It felt as though every


    single drop of blood in his body was on the verge of bursting out of his veins, tearing him


    asunder.Noticing that his eyes had gone red-rimmed for no apparent reason, Winnie immediately took


    his arm.“Are you okay? Are you not feeling well again?”Xavier massaged his temples. “I’m fine. But


    Dumbo, you must promise me that you’ll never again utter such words!”Upon glimpsing his increasingly


    reddening eyes, Winnie hastily nodded with a frown.“Say something! Don’t just nod.”“Okay, I promise


    that I’ll never again say I won’t bother about you anymore,” Winnie vowed in exasperation. “As for Nate,


    there’s no hurry. I’ll tell you all about it when you’re feeling better.”After saying that, she called out to


    Josiah, “Quick,e over and check him out.”Josiah was likewise afraid that something would happen


    to Xavier. “Come with me to the lounge to rest for a bit first, Xavier.” It just so happened that the


    employee from the PR department had finished writing the script for the statement during the press


    conference.She cautiously asked Winnie, “The script is ready, Mrs. Fairchild. Would you like to take a


    look at it now?”At present, Xavier was the only person in the entire world who still regarded Winnie as a


    simpleton. Everyone else knew that she was the newly-appointed CEO of Gand Group, her


    capabilities remarkable beyond words.For that reason, they were all exceedingly careful while speaking


    to her, fearful that they would identally offend her and suffer her retribution.After all, she was the


    kind of person who didn’t even show her own biological father any mercy.“Yeah. Wait for a moment,


    please.” It wasn’t until after Winnie had watched Josiah lead Xavier into the lounge that she strode over


    for a look at the script.She scanned through it at lightning speed, but at the same time, she was also


    very meticulous. “Change the wording here. It isn’t my style, for the tone is too weak.”The employee


    who wrote the script trembled violently. The script for a press conference with many media outlets in


    attendance generally took a moderate stance. But in consideration that Winnie would be using it, she


    had already been very deliberate in her choice of words. Never had she expected that the former would


    still find it too weak.“Sure, Mrs. Fairchild. I’ll change it right now. Is this okay?”“Yeah, this is fine.”“All


    right. In that case, I’ll go and make a copy for you right away.”“It’s okay. I’ve already memorized


    it.”Words inexorably eluded the employee. Whoa! How incredible! She has a photographic memory!


    Back when news of our paralyzed CEO marrying a simpleton emerged, many people in thepany


    and even the whole of Avenport took it as a standing joke. They allughed, saying that they both


    made a perfect match since one wasatose while the other was dull-witted. But now… Haha,


    they’ve all been proven wrong! This is no weak union but a strong alliance! What’s more, they’re each


    better than thest!“Then… we’ll go over to the venue and make the preparations first, Mrs. Fairchild,


    Mr. Tanser. Contact us anytime if there’s anything else you need.”Havingpleted her task, the


    manager of the PR department instantly left the CEO’s office with her subordinates.Winnie nced at


    the shut door of the lounge, her gaze darkening a shade.“Mrs. Fairchild, let me tell you about the flow


    of the press conferenceter in detail.” There wasn’t much time left, so Louis had to make all the


    arrangements.“Sure!” Winnie sat down on the couch opposite from the man. “Go ahead. I’m


    listening.”While saying that, she started multitasking. As she listened to Louis, she took out her phone


    and searched for news rted to Nate.The celebrities in the entertainment industry were all gathered


    on Twitter, and Nate was no exception.When she tapped open Twitter and searched for “Nate,” the


    results that popped out first weren’t his official ount but trending headlines rted to him in the form


    of hashtags.The first one read: Nate Fraser’s unphotoshopped pictures are amazing.The next went


    along the lines of: Nate Fraser has made it on the trending list again.The subsequent one


    followed: Nate Fraser’s ster airport photos.Winnie wasn’t the least bit interested in the man’s looks.


    She had seen his photos previously, and he was indeed pretty handsome, coolly confident.But


    compared to his cousin, Xavier, he was stillgging far behind quite a ways.Thus, she skipped the first


    two results and tapped on the final one because the word “airport” in it snagged her full attention.Sure


    enough, after she had scrolled through almost a hundred photos, she finally found an intriguing one.
