Winnie took Josiah to her office in Gand Group.She waved her hand and dismissed the few
employees who were still working overtime.Josiah took the initiative to lighten up the atmosphere when
he noticed that she was still sporting a grim face.“You must have gone to the mall to eat just now. Are
you still hungry? Should I order takeout?”Winnie shot him a look. “There’s no need for that. Let’s get
right to business. Frankly, I also have some things I would like to ask you. Do you want to start first, or
should I?”“Wait! How can we get down to business with an empty stomach? What do you want to eat?
Do you like spicy food?” Josiah asked with a smile.She tapped the table in front of her twice and said
after a moment of silence, “I told you there’s no need for that. Can’t we get right to business
now?”Josiah stilled for a few seconds before adjusting his sses with a smile. “Okay, Ms. Gand. I
will listen to you today.”Winnie realized she was being unreasonable after seeing Josiah’s reaction.He’s
just concerned about whether I had eaten or not.She scratched the back of her head awkwardly and
lowered her voice. “I’m sorry for my bad attitude. Let’s talk about business first since I’m not hungry yet.
I will treat you to supper if you’re still up for itter.”Josiah’s smile remained. “Okay! I understand how
you’re feeling right now. In fact, we all know how close you are to your grandmother since you once
relied solely on each other. I know you have your own judgment since you’re willing to sit down and talk
about this with me.”Winnie leaned on her chair helplessly and hummed in response. “Can you tell me
when did you guys start suspecting my granny? Just tell me everything objectively. You don’t have to
worry about my rtionship with my granny.”Josiah nodded. “Okay. Actually, the issue arose when a
fire broke out in the Fairchild residence. At that time, everyone thought that Zyon was the one who
started the fire, and so did Xavier and me. However, someer discovered wine bottles near the
fire, which served as an elerant for the fire. It’s not usible that Zyon was the arsonist, as it was
unrealistic to think he ran around the Fairchild residence himself and injured Nate while carrying three
to five wine bottles with him. Your granny had the stench of alcohol on her that night, and the room she
stayed in had broken wine bottles in it. Don’t you think this is too much of a coincidence? Afterward,
Zyon escaped. He most likely escaped from the courtyard your granny resided. Although your granny
imed she hadn’t seen him, that may not necessarily be true because the surveince cameras
weren’t functional during that time. Your granny’s behavior raised suspicions, but we weren’t sure why
she was acting this way until we learned about a woman named Young Lady. She most likely had a
rtionship with Old Mr. Fairchild and even gave birth to his child. Everything will make sense if Young
Lady is really your granny, Jacinta. Stuart must definitely be her son, and Zyon is her biological
grandson. Hence, she must have loathed Old Mr. Fairchild, who abandoned her, and Xavier, who Old
Mr. Fairchild favored. Thus, she voluntarily became a hostage to help Zyon escape and helped him
unconditionally. All of this is merely conjecture, and Xavier didn’t want to let you know we were
investigating your granny because you won’t be able to ept it.” Winnie nodded. “I understand
Xavier’s intentions. As for what you have just said, I have never given them any thought before.
However, these are clearly written in the documents, and your reasoning makes perfect sense. Indeed,
I found it hard to ept when I first saw all this.”“Mhm. I knew you wouldn’t be unreasonable. Xavier
genuinely cares about you. He didn’t dare bother you after you told him you didn’t want to talk to him.
He could only ask me about how you’re doing.”As Josiah spoke, he passed his phone to Winnie.Xavier
had just sent a message to Josiah: Is she feeling better?Although words didn’t carry emotions, Winnie
could still feel the warmth and concern conveyed from Xavier’s text message.She returned the phone
to Josiah and muttered, “I’ll give him a call.”“Okay, I will head out to buy some food since I’m hungry.
What about you?”Winnie nodded. “I want to eat something simple.”Josiah made an “okay” gesture.
“Got it.”As soon as Josiah left, Winnie dialed Xavier’s number with her own phone.Xavier had been
staring at his phone, so when Winnie’s call came, he answered it in a sh.“What’s wrong,
Winnie?”“Nothing. I’m just not in a good mood.” Winnie’s voice sounded despondent as she clutched
her phone.Xavier immediately apologized, “I’m really sorry. Is there anything I can do for you?”Winnie
stifled a sob. “Why are you sorry when you don’t even know why I’m not in a good mood?”“I know. It’s
because what I did.”“I was only upset about that for a moment.” Winnie paused, and her voice sounded
tearful. “Now I’m more terrified that what you discovered is true. Actually, I remember some details
about the fire at the Fairchild residence when I was talking to Josiah just now. I remember my granny
washing off the wine stain on her clothes and her asking me about the surveince cameras in the
residence. I also remember how Zyon called my granny his grandmother before he died in
Manchernius. There are other minor things too… Xavier, this is what I’m most worried about right
now.”Xavier was taken aback when he heard the choked-up voice of the woman he loved.So, she’s not
in a good mood because of this. But she’s on the verge of crying all because of me. I’m the one who
caused her to be upset. I feel so bad for her.After mulling it over for a while, Xavier made a swift
decision.He stated in a serious tone, “I’m here for you, Winnie. I’ll face everything with you, no matter
what happens. If this upsets you, then we’ll stop looking into it. Just let everything be.”“What are you
talking about?”“I said let’s stop the investigation. Let’s leave it as it is. We can act as if nothing
happened. I just want you to be happy.”“Can you really stop investigating this matter?”“Yes. At first, I
wanted to find out the truth, but I’vee to a realization just now that you’re more important to me
than the truth. You can destroy those documents now.”“Really? I’m in my office right now, and if I put
these documents in the shredder, all the evidence will be gone for good.”“Okay. Go ahead.”Winnie
walked over to the shredder with the documents in hand and prepared to put them in.However, Xavier
didn’t hear the noise of paper shredding on the other end of the line.He was puzzled.
“Winnie?”Winnie’s eyes were red as she walked away from the shredder with the documents that were
still intact.She thought for a moment and uttered, “Everyone deserves to know the truth, and that is far
more important than my happiness.”
