Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Because he was rather rough with her at the time, her body had patches of bruises all over

as a result.

Although she wasn‘t able to have a good night‘s sleep, she reckoned they were even after

she left countless scratch marks on Xavier‘s back and arm. Not to mention she even bit his

shoulder.

Besides, she clearly remembered a stitch mark on his arm that was left after the previous

car accident. He had protected her at that time and had shed a lot of blood because of her.

Thinking of all this, Winnie decided to forgive him.

Afier all, he was quite the gentleman when he wasn‘t drugged. Apart from that, there is one

thing that I was very satisfied with about how Xavier handled it. And that is the fate that

had befallen Kylie.

Although no one told her what happened in Xavier‘s office that day, Winnie was able to put

two and two together based on the video that she saw circulating on the internet.

As it turned out. Xavier wasn‘t the only person that was drugged that day. Kylie, too,

suffered the same ordeal.

It was unknown whether she had drugged herself or if she was drugged by Xavier as his

way of payback, but in the end, she was thrown into an intersection with a huge flow of

people.

Under the influence of the drug, Kylie lost all sense of reason as lust overwhelmed her. She

even pounced on a young and handsome passerby before flirting with him.

As a result, the young man‘s girlfriend tore at her clothes and gave her a harsh slap. The

crowd took videos of the incident and uploaded them to the internet, where it became viral

just moments later.

After the incident, Hamish and Yara tried to apologize to Xavier, but the man had no

intention of meeting them. In the end, the couple could only look for Winnie for help by

paying Lagune Mansion a visit.

Unexpectedly, Xavier had guessed their intention and had instructed Mary to bar anyone

from the Garland family from entering the mansion.

Because of this, Winnie was able to make plans with Nathaniel with peace of mind.

After the humiliating video went viral, Kylie was identified rather quickly. Owing to this, she

cried herself to sleep for the past few days, causing her face to swell to an exaggerated

proportion.

After learning what his daughter did, Hamish taught her a hard lesson and wanted to make

amends to Xavier.

However, since they were barred from entering Lagune Mansion, Hamish and Yara could

only stand guard at Fairchild Corporation, thinking they could try to chance a meeting with

Xavier.

One day, the couple was doing the same thing as they did before–standing at the entrance

of Fairchild Corporation.

However, this time around, they had attracted Stuart‘s attention.

“Mr. and Mrs. Garland, why don‘t we find a place to have a talk?”

Hamish asked, “May I know what would you like to talk about, Mr. Fairchild?”

Stuart replied, “I just wanted to tell you to stop wasting your time here. Do you really think

Xavier would agree to meet with you? I doubt he‘d forgive you even if you kneel before him.

I do have to say, though, you Garlands are a gutsy bunch. Not only did you offer up a

mentally challenged woman to be his wife, but you did something like this, utterly

humiliating him. Judging by his vindiclive nature, I don‘t think he will forgive you, ever. If he

does, I‘ll change my surname to Garland.”

Hearing that, Hamish started to panic. “Well… I didn‘t expect him to wake up from his coma

so

soon. What should I do now? What can I do to appease his anger?”

Stuart scoffed. “Appease his anger? I‘d advise you to scrap that thought from your head.

The new quarter is coming soon, and to tell you the truth, Xavier has already halted several

projects Fairchild Corporation has with Garland Group. I reckoned his anger would only

dissipate after Garland Group goes bankrupt. Since you‘ve been forced into a corner, why

don‘t you cooperate with me instead?”

A doubtful look crossed Hamish‘s face. “Is it really that scrious?”

He proceeded to give the person in charge of the project a call to ask about the situation.

After the person in charge liaised with Fairchild Corporation, the answer Hamish got was

consistent with what Stuart told him.

Hamish‘s face fell at the news. “He‘s trying to ruin the whole Garland Group! Mr. Fairchild,

what exactly do you mean by cooperating with you?”

Meanwhile, Winnie was conversing with someone.

“Gator, have you ever heard of Fairchild Corporation? It‘s a company based in Avenport.”

“I have. Why?”

“The current CEO of Fairchild Corporation is the definition of a miracle happening. I heard he

was in a vegetative state after a car accident. Because of this, the Garland family looked

down on him and offered up their mentally challenged daughter to be his wife. No one

expected that he would wake up just a few days after the daughter was married into the

Fairchi whole thing just seems so dramatic.”

Winnie knitted her brows. Although what Nathaniel said was indeed the truth, displeasure

gnawed at her because it sounded like he was making fun of her.

“So, what does this have to do with the plan? Why are you telling me all this?”

“My dear Gator, it sounds to me like you‘re angry. Mind telling me why? Don‘t you know that

your thinking process will be affected if you‘re angry?”

“Oh? Is that so?”

“All right, I‘ll stop messing with you. I was only telling you all this because the CEO of

Fairchild Corporation has done us a great favor. He seems to hate the Garland family, which

probably explains why he halted several projects Fairchild Corporation had with Garland

Group. He even put out word to prevent other companies from collaborating with them. The

Garland family will certainly lose a lot of money because of this fiasco.”

Of course, Winnie knew about all this. I guess my emotions really got the better of me

earlier.

That‘s righı, Xavier had dealu the Carland family a huge blow. With this, Hamish will put his

focus solely on investment. This means that he‘ll probably slip up sooner or later since he‘s

panicking. I think it‘s time for you to pay Avenport a visit.”

“Oh, my dear Gator. I‘ve already bought the plane ticket. I have also renovated the new

company.

Anyway, are you really not going to come and meet me?”

Winnie rolled her eyes. Not this again... She then said, “I don‘t plan on meeting you anytime

soon. If that‘s all you wanted to say, I‘ll be hanging up now.”

“Wait!” Nathaniel‘s tone turned serious, and he uttered, “I almost forgot to tell you

something important.”

Winnie frowned. “What is it?”
