“Are you still in the opinion that she’s just putting up an act?” Xavier demanded crossly
after putting on some clothes. Feeling awkward, Josiah pushed his gold-rimmed glasses
higher. “Not anymore.” When I said I had the same thing, she looked like she wanted to
pull my pants down to confirm it. “I told you. I sent someone to investigate her
background and discovered she had been dumb for decades. So don’t do that again. It’s
pretty childish. Remember, even though she has the IQ of a five or seven-year-old kid,
she’s still my wife in name. I can sue you for sexual harassment for what you said earlier,”
Xavier warned. Josiah didn’t share his sentiments. “Are you serious? Forget it. Are you sure
she won’t tell anyone that you’ve recovered?” “Well, I need to show myself when the time
is right anyway. So Let’s keep it a secret for now. We can tighten the net pretty soon.”
“Yes, you can tighten the net in the Fairchild family, but what about the Garland family?
Hamish fooled you with his mentally challenged daughter. Are you going to let him off the
hook? That doesn’t sound like something you’d do. Old Mr. Fairchild gave them a lot for
marrying their daughter to you when you’re in trouble.” “Ha!” Xavier snorted icily. “That
scum doesn’t deserve anything from the Fairchild family!” Xavier’s bedroom on the
second floor was a huge luxurious suite completed with a study, bathroom, and living
room. Right then, Xavier and Josiah were talking in the study with the door shut. They left
Winnie in the living room. However, they had no idea that Winnie had left her children’s
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwatch on purpose in Xavier’s study when she insisted on joining him there earlier. Her
Peppa Pig children’s watch was equipped with many functions, including eavesdropping on
someone. Thus, she heard their conversation in the study clearly. When Winnie heard
Xavier calling Hamish a “scum,” she realized the man shared her sentiments, too. Did they
say Hamish received a lot from Rufus? Ha! Those should have been mine! I was the one
who married the “vegetable” instead of Hamish, Yara, or Kylie. They took the stuff that
should have been mine and enjoyed their lives without even asking for my approval.
Winnie was about to figure out a plan to ask the Garlands to return the stuff to her when
Yara showed up unannounced. Yara claimed she was concerned about her daughter and
wanted to take her for a walk. Thus, she left Xavier’s mansion with Winnie. Winnie’s
anticipation grew when they both got into Yara’s car. What does Yara have in mind? I can’t
wait to battle with this vicious woman. In truth, Winnie reckoned she could do something
to Yara’s car so that the latter would get into a car accident. If she got lucky, Yara would
die on the spot. If she was not, Yara might have to spend the rest of her life in bed.
However, that wasn’t satisfying enough. Back then, Yara resorted to despicable means and
sent Winnie’s mother to the psychiatric hospital. In the end, Winnie’s mother was severely
tortured until she died. As her mother’s only daughter, Winnie would never let Yara off the
hook that easily. Besides, it was illegal to tamper with someone else’s car. Unlike those
scums from the Garland family, Winnie was a law-abiding citizen. She was putting up an
act like usual on Yara’s car. Meanwhile, back in the mansion, Xavier watched the
surveillance footage with his brows knitted together. He had installed surveillance
cameras in the living room of the mansion. “Don’t you think Yara is a hypocrite?” Xavier
asked Josiah, who was watching the surveillance footage with him. “Yes, she is. When
Mary was around, Yara was nice to your dumb wife. The moment Mary left, however, she
showed her true colors. Still, there’s nothing strange about this. Some parents dislike their
mentally challenged children. Besides, Yara is your dumb wife’s stepmother, not her
biological mother,” Josiah replied. A chill ran down Josiah’s spine when he realized his
friend was shooting daggers at him. “W-Why are you looking at me that way?” “Josiah.”
Xavier looked menacing as he said, “Haven’t I told you that she’s still my wife in name? So
stop calling her my ‘dumb wife.”‘ “All right. Got it, Mr. Fairchild.” Xavier relaxed slightly
upon hearing that. “Follow her. If her stepmother tries to harm her, you don’t have to hold
back.” “Me?” Josiah pointed at himself. “Who else?” Xavier shot him a look. “Do you want
me, the vegetable, to go after them?” Yara soon brought Winnie to Garland Group. Some
things had to be done in secret, so it would be safer for her to do it in her territory. In the
underground parking lot, a person who shouldn’t even be there showed up out of
nowhere. Yara dashed out of her car when she saw who it was. “Kylie? Why the hell are

you here? Didn’t we send you overseas to further your studies? We’re still busy dealing
with the Fairchild family, so you have to lie low for now!” she admonished. “Mom, I don’t
want to study abroad. My Ustranasion and Ferropenian suck! I can’t even communicate
with the locals,” Kylie complained. Her words could only mean one thing—she didn’t get
on the plane to Epea. Instead, she stayed in hiding in a hotel. After spending two days in
the hotel, she got bored and came back. “Mom, who is that in your car? Don’t tell me it’s
that dumbass.” Kylie glanced at the car. “Why did you bring her here?” She didn’t bother
hiding her displeasure as she continued, “That dumbass became the eldest daughter of
the Garland family and took my spot away from me! How could you bring her back to the
company? What are you trying to do? Are you going to announce that she’s the eldest
daughter of the Garland family to everyone?” “Shh, lower down your voice! Someone else
might hear you!” Yara chided. Overwhelmed by jealousy, Kylie was practically screaming.
“You brought her to the company to show her around and sent me overseas to hide me
from everyone, but I can’t even complain about it? Mom, have you gone nuts?” “Kylie, why
are you so reckless?” Yara comforted her daughter and pulled her aside to explain
everything to her in a low voice. After learning the truth, Kylie broke into a wide grin. She
eyed Winnie with gloat. “Mom, I can’t believe you and Dad have one last trick up your
sleeve. Winnie didn’t even realize she had been tricked! Ha! What a dumbass.” Winnie
snickered inwardly. Who’s the dumbass here? Her sharp gaze landed on Kylie and Yara’s
back as the window rolled up slowly. This is going to be interesting.
