Chapter 196


    Winter nervously tugged at the corner of her mouth. “People can change, can’t they? Don’t you like


    the food I made?”


    “I like it,” Xavier replied, lowering his head to continue eating.


    Xavier knew exactly what kind of person Winter was. She was the type who never lifted a finger in


    the kitchen. The food tasted just like it was from a restaurant.


    He had eaten Noelle’s cooking before. Although the food was simple, it had a homely taste, unlike


    these delicately prepared dishes. The moment Winter opened the lunch box, Xavier knew the truth.


    However, since Winter wanted to deceive him, he saw no need to expose her.


    Hearing Xavier’s response, Winter let out a sigh of relief and smiled. “I’m d you like it! You should


    eat more. You work so hard.”


    “Okay.” Xavier nodded. “Why did you have time toe over today? Feeling better?”


    Winter bit her lip, wringing her hands together. “Xavier, you love me, right?”

    Xavier’s hand paused. His eyes darkened, but he still nodded. “Yes. What’s with the sudden


    question? Did something happen?”


    “Xavier, since you love me, you’ll help me, right?” Winter grasped Xavier’s hand. “Only you can help


    me now. Please, I beg you.”


    Xavier lost his appetitepletely. He put down his cutlery and scrutinized Winter. There was a hint


    of suspicion in his eyes. “What do you want me to do?” He had an inkling but was not sure..


    “Aren’t you close with Charles? You’re rtives, right? The one who gave Grandpa a chess set at


    his birthday party… He’s very powerful, isn’t he? I heard he has a filmpany. Can you…”


    Xavier frowned as he pulled his hand away from Winter. He pressed his lips together, clearly


    displeased.


    He had not expected that after being constantlypared to Charles by his family, Winter would


    bring him up too. This naturally annoyed Xavier.


    Winter did not notice his displeasure at all. “Xavier, you’re rted to Charles, right? Can you ask


    him to help me get through this tough time? With his help, I can make aeback in the


    entertainment industry.


    Winter clung to his hand. “Xavier, I know you care about me the most. Please help me, okay?”


    “But…” The mere thought


    of Charles‘ cold expression made Xavier reluctant to approach him. His father had previously urged


    him to get closer to Charles, but Charles never reciprocated, leaving Xavier feeling defeated.


    “But what? You don’t want to help me?” Winter looked at Xavier pitifully, using her acting skills to


    her


    advantage now this mess is my fault, but not everything that was reported is true. I did have


    conflicts


    “I


    with a few people, but it was justpetition for resources. I didn’t do anything unforgivable.


    Someone is targeting me. Xavier, please help me.”


    “…”


    “This matter is settled. Xavier, you’ll talk to Charles.” Joseph pushed open Xavier’s office door. His


    shrewd eyes scrutinized Winter, and then he smiled. “Winter, don’t worry. I’ll make sure Xavier


    helps you. Charles will certainly assist.”

    “Dad…” Xavier frowned, but Joseph shot him a sharp look


    “Winter is your fiancée. It’s only right to help her. Besides, I believe she’s being framed. Will you


    stand by and watch her suffer?” Joseph’s voice was stern. “Alright, it’s settled.”
