Seeing the look in Nate’s eyes, Winnie couldn’t help but frown.“What’s the problem? Is that so hard to
answer?”Nate kept quiet and did not speak for a long time.The room fell into a deep silence. Beatrice
wanted to end things as soon as possible, so she persuaded gently, “Nate, tell Winnie everything you
know, and it will all be over.”“Go on.” On the other end of the video, Rufus also felt that Nate was
dying the issue. “It doesn’t matter how you found out. Just tell us. Winnie will not make things
difficult for you for my sake.”“Okay. I’ll tell you.” Nate suddenly turned to Winnie. “The information was
given to me by a mysterious person. They said I would find what I wanted if I investigated toward a
certain direction.”“Oh? What did the person tell you? How did the person tell you? When did they tell
you?” Winnie asked three questions with eloquence.Nate stared at Winnie and replied slowly, “I don’t
remember the exact time, but it was about a week ago. An item was delivered to me via the Intra-City
Express Service, but the courier was wearing a helmet and a mask, so I don’t know what he looked
like, nor do I have his contact information.”“What did you receive?”Nate went silent again after Winnie
asked another question.However, Winnie didn’t mind waiting a little longer. She knew that Nate would
spill eventually.Nate was not in a hurry either. However, although the two weren’t anxious, the others
were.“Come on, Nate. I’m at the edge of my seat here,” Beatrice urged.“You’re about to say that you
lost the item, aren’t you?” Winnie smiled. “But even if you lost it, you’ve seen it, and you should be able
to describe it.”“Ha.” Nate smirked. “You’re right. I threw it away. In fact, I ripped it into pieces. However,
I did take a picture of it.”“Then please show me the picture. Thank you.”“Okay,” Nate replied and began
to look for the photo on his phone.“Here.” Soon, he found two photos and showed them to Winnie.They
were photographs of two printed images that contained the front and back sides of the family badge
Winnie had lost.One had a ck rose embossed on it, and the other had a ck scepter.Winnie
instinctively turned to look at Xavier.“What’s wrong?” Xavier frowned.“You told me the badge is with
you.” Winnie furrowed her brows and said.Xavier was stunned. “This is my first time seeing this
badge.”“That’s right. You no longer remember.” Winnie’s frown deepened. Xavier didn’t remember
anything that happened after Yulissa appeared. It only made sense that he didn’t remember a thing
about the badge.“Have you ever seen this in your office?” Winnie questioned again.Xavier knitted his
brows slightly. “No. This is yours. Did you lose it?”“Yes.”“Okay, I’ll help you find it,” Xavier said
immediately.He took the phone from Winnie’s hand and forwarded the two photos to his
phone.Winnie’s thoughts were a mess. She always thought that the badge was with Xavier. Now that
things had taken a sharp turn, she couldn’t grasp what was happening.She turned around and asked
Nate, “Did you only receive these two pictures at the time? Is there nothing else?” “Do you think others
are fools? This is such an important item. Do you think someone would send the real thing to someone
like me, who has nothing to do with it? I’ve answered your question, and this matter is over. Can my
granddad take his rest now? Can I show you the door?”“Nate.” Xavier didn’t like the way Nate was
talking to Winnie. “Watch your attitude.”“That’s an entirely different matter. I’ve already apologized
sincerely for that incident. Do I have to walk on eggshells whenever I speak in the future? If you
noticed, I treat you just the same way.”“That’s enough! We’re a family. Why are you treating each other
like enemies?” Beatrice hurriedly spoke up to ease the tension.Winnie couldn’t afford to worry about
these things. At that moment, all she wanted was to go to Xavier’s office.“Let’s go.” After bidding Rufus
farewell, Winnie held Xavier’s hand and left.Winnie was worried about Xavier’s unstable condition, so
she didn’t let him drive.She drove straight to Gand Group’s building. The two of them rummaged
through Xavier’s office but still couldn’t find her badge.Xavier couldn’t remember anything about the
badge.However, when he noticed Winnie’s frustration about not finding it, he couldn’t help but
frown.With a firm voice, he vowed, “Don’t worry. I will find it.”At that point, Winnie was ready to beat him
to death.“Xavier, I suspect that you were lying to me before!”“That’s impossible! There’s no reason for
me to lie to you. I’ve never even thought of lying to you!” Xavier replied firmly.If it weren’t for his illness,
I would have beaten him up. Winnie gritted her teeth at that thought.On the other side, Nate was
deleting his chat history with Yulissa on his phone.The badge wasn’t sent to him by a mysterious
person. He had made it up.In reality, the photos of the badge were given to him by Yulissa, and heter
printed the pictures during his investigation.If his guess was correct, the badge should be in Yulissa’s
hands.However, Yulissa was dead, and nobody knew where the badge went.He looked at a photo of
Yulissa on his phone, and tears began to gather in his eyes.He seemed deranged.“Don’t worry, Yulissa.
I will never allow Winnie to get her hands on the badge. I will bury the badge next to your grave! Also,
please don’t be disappointed in me. My apology to her wasn’t sincere. I just didn’t want to embarrass
my mom and granddad. The thing is, Winnie is too difficult to deal with. I only yed along because I
had to make her let her guard down. I’m aware that some of the things she showed me were true, and I
also knew that you have been lying to me the whole time. But your persistence to deceive me for such
a long time only shows that you love me, right? I know you no longer love Xavier. You just didn’t get the
chance to express your love to me, right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have injected that massive amount
of drugs into Xavier’s body. Don’t worry, Yulissa. I won’t let your efforts go to waste. If they bully you or
work with the police to plot against you, I will make them pay! I will never love another woman in this
life! I will only love you.”On their journey back to Lagune Mansion, Xavier suddenly held Winnie’s hand
and interlocked his fingers tightly with hers.When she had the chance, Winnie turned to look at him.
“What’s wrong?”
