Chapter 363


    Winter had just gone to the restroom, and as it turned out, so had Xavier. She ended up seeing


    everything that happened there. The sight of Xavier still hung up on Noelle made Winter’s heart


    ache, and she was about to confront him when someone grabbed her hand. Winter spun around,


    surprised to see Annie.” What are you doing, grabbing me like that?”


    Annie pulled Winter into a corner. Even though she had touched up her makeup, the scars on her


    face


    r could not help but feel a shiver run down his spine. were still peeking through.


    Annie saw the look on Winter’s face and thought to herself that Winter was being silly, but she said,


    “What good will it do if you go up there now?” She nced over again and saw Charles heading


    over. She took Winter’s hand and led her away. “Today’s your wedding to Xavier. If you cause a


    fuss now, you might end up bing aughingstock. You’ve just married Xavier. If you make a


    scene, it won’t look good for the Harris family, will it?”


    Winter listened to Annie and started to calm down, but she could not help feeling curious and a bit


    suspicious.


    Annie was making sense, but it was not like her to think things through like this. Winter gave her a


    puzzled look. She felt a little nervous under Winter’s gaze but managed a half–smile. “Do you think


    I’ve gotten wiser?”


    Winter’s cheeks burned as if she had been pped. She quickly shook her head. “No, I didn’t mean


    it like that, Annie. Please don’t get me wrong!”


    “Don’t worry about it. We’re friends. I won’t get upset. I was pretty clueless before, and after the way


    Noelle treated me, how could I not be more careful?” Annie looked Winter over and, seeing she was


    relieved, let out a quietugh. “We’ll deal with Noelleter. Right now, you need to focus on Xavier.


    Once you’re married, Noelle won’t be a problem, right?”


    “Right, you’re spot on. I just got a bit distracted,” Winter admitted, feeling her head clear after the


    rush of anger had passed. “Annie, let’s head out!”


    “Sure!” Annie helped Winter as they made their way out, but she could not stop thinking about


    Charles and Noelle’s apparent connection. It made sense why her brother warned her to steer clear


    of Noelle, especially with a guy like Charles around.


    A shiver ran through Annie. She could not bear the thought of reliving that dreadful night. Her


    brother had mentioned that Charles had agreed to look out for the Adams family, so she knew


    better than to stir up


    trouble.


    “Are you okay?” Winter noticed Annie’s pale face. “Are you still feeling unwell?”


    “I’m fine,” Annie reassured her. “The wedding hasn’t started yet. You go rx in the backstage


    room, and I’ll keep an eye on Xavier for you.”


    “Alright!”


    After Annie left, Winter did not waste a moment and called Jade. “Mom!”


    “What’s going on now? Why are you calling me again? It’s chaos out there. If it’s nothing urgent, just


    stay there, or get your two friends,” Jade said as she entered, finding Winter restless on the couch.

    Seeing her mom, Winter stood up quickly. “Mom, I can’t stand it anymore. I won’t be at ease until


    Noelle is married off!” Winter said through gritted teeth. “Mom, you promised you’d help me, right?“
