Chapter 295
“That’s what makes it a challenge,” Wilhelm exined with a stern expression. “If it’s something
anyone can do, I wouldn’t be using it as a test for my future brother-inw. Obviously, Mr. Fairchild can
seek help from anyone, as long as he relies on his own resources. The deadline is half a month.”“Just
half a month?” Winnie’s brows furrowed tightly. “Isn’t it too short?”Wilhelm cocked a brow in response.
“There’s nothing I can do about it. That’s the deadline Prince Andrew has given me.”Rendered
speechless, Winnie took a deep breath. “Fine. In that case, didn’t you say that it’s all right for him to
seek help from anyone he wants?”“Yes, I believe Mr. Fairchild has his ownwork.” Wilhelm broke
into a smile before he finished, “Isn’t that right?”Meeting Wilhelm’s gaze, Xavier showed no intention of
backing down. “It is, Mr. Speiser. Your observations are correct.”“Very good.” Wilhelm was certain of
Xavier’s failure. “In that case, I hope to hear good news from you soon. Anyway, I won’t be joining you
for lunch as I have something to deal with.”With that, Wilhelm took his leave.Watching his leaving
silhouette, Winnie could feel the frustration growing inside her. If not for the fact that he was her brother
and they were in front of their grandparents, she would have definitely given him a piece of her
mind.Didn’t we agreest night that the trial has ended? I didn’t expect him to still have something up
his sleeve. Just as expected of a sly old fox with ill intentions!Sensing the change in Winnie’s mood,
Xavier discreetly held her hand and whispered, “Don’t worry. I absolutely won’t let you down.”His words
caused Winnie to quickly regain herposure.She asked him, “Do you already have a n?”“There’s
no hurry. We still have half a month left.” Xavier curled his lips slightly. “We’ll naturally find a solution
when the timees. Anyway, don’t forget why we’re here. We shouldplete what we came here to
do.”The objective Xavier was talking about was having lunch with Joshua and Emily. Throughout the
rest of the meal, no one brought up the challenge again.In truth, even Winnie was capable ofing
up with a solution to the matter. It was just that shecked confidence in her solution.That was the
reason why she asked Wilhelm whether Xavier could seek out others for help.After all, she was
capable of offering assistance herself.Nheless, she was still curious as to whether Xavier was
capable ofing up with a n.In the meantime, they stayed at the manor for the rest of the day andPublished by N?v''elD/rama.Org.
only went home after dinner.As the matter was rted to Andrew’s privacy, both of them didn’t discuss
it in the car.It wasn’t until they were back in Winnie’s condominium that she asked Xavier, “What is your
n? Can it really be done within half a month?”The task Andrew had given Wilhelm was to get his
girlfriend into the Livingsfill Physics Research Center.Livingsfill was the capital of Yartran, and its
physics research center was the foremost of its kind in the entire world.All the physics researchers who
worked there were the cream of the crop. Thus, it was impossible for any ordinary researchers to get
in. A vacancy for a single researcher would only open up every two to three years, and the center
would rather not hire anyone if no candidates met their standards. Andrew’s girlfriend, who was a
physicist, didn’te from a prestigious family—an obstacle to him marrying her. Therefore, he had
hoped to get her into the Livingsfill Physics Research Center in an attempt to raise her social
standing.“Therefore, are you really confident in aplishing something which even the royal family
can’t?” Winnie asked Xavier with curiosity written all over her face.Given how rare it was to see her so
curious about something, Xavier, in an attempt to tease her, kept her in suspense.“Actually, I wanted to
ask you why a prince woulde to your brother for something even he can’t achieve?”“That’s
because the prince holds no real power.” Winnie’s expression turned serious at the mention of the
topic.“Don’t underestimate Wilhelm. The only reason this hasn’t been resolved yet is that he hasn’t
gotten involved in the sciences. Also, you had better stop being evasive and share your ns with
me.”“Are you that desperate to know?” Xavier pulled her into his embrace. “Kiss me, and I’ll tell
you.”Speechless, Winnie responded with a punch instead. “Don’t take advantage of my good
nature.”Even though her punch didn’t hurt, it was enough to get Xavier to cooperate.He exined
obediently, “I know someone. He’s a ssmate of mine who’s a physicist in Yartran. Hence, I can get
him toe up with a n.”Winnie’s brows furrowed. “Does this mean you’re confident?”“Um…”
Xavier hesitated briefly. “I’ll know only after I speak to him. Worsees to worst, I’ll just offer to
sponsor the research center. I figure that they won’t say no to money.”“Not necessarily, as this research
center has funding oozing out of their ears. Even theb coats of the researchers there are tailored by
a luxury brand.”“Is that so? How do you know so much?” All of a sudden, the mischievous Xavier sat
upright. “Don’t tell me that you’re one of them?”Winnie was rendered speechless. “Do I look like
Newton or Einstein to you?”Xavier chuckled in response. “You better not, as I prefer the way you look
now.”Ignoring hisment, Winnie pondered before continuing, “Even though I’m not a member of the
staff, I have a friend who is. This is something even Wilhelm isn’t aware of.”“Mmm-hmm.” Xavier
nodded. “You really are a cunning little vixen. With the number of secrets you’re hiding, it’s not a
surprise that he doesn’t know.”“Excuse me? Aren’t you missing the point? I’m telling you that I can help
you. As Wilhelm said, you’re free to enlist anyone’s help or use any resources at your disposal, and
those naturally include me. Do you understand?”“I do.”When a nod was all his response consisted of,
Winnie sat up from his arms. “That’s it?”“Yeah,” Xavier replied as he held her hands tightly. “This is a
challenge that I have taken upon myself. Although I’m allowed to seek your help, it would be more
appropriate for you—as an interested party—not to get involved. Moreover, I would like to prove myself
bypleting the task, which is, after all, a demonstration of my capabilities. Therefore, for the next
half month, why don’t you take a break and leave everything to me?”At the sight of her knitted brows,
Xavier stroked his finger over them to ease her frown. “Do you not believe in me?”Holding his hand,
Winnie gave it a gentle rub. “Of course I have faith in you. Let’s put Wilhelm in his ce together this
time.”
