“Then why…” Yulissa sounded astonished. “Why did you chase after me? Go back and find
your sweet wife.”
“Stop it, Yulissa. When you left without my consent, did you care about my feelings?
Besides, marrying the daughter of the Garland family was my grandpa’s arrangement
when I was in a coma. That was not my intention.”
Winnie was stunned. Is he serious? Isn’t Kylie the fiancée he picked himself? Wow, he’s
talking nonsense as soon as he sees his ex-girlfriend.
“Then… do you love her?”
Xavier was silent for a moment. “Since you know that I’m married, don’t you know that I
married a dumbass? How could I possibly fall in love with a dumbass?”
How arrogant! Winnie was surprised by his words again.
“You will divorce her, right?”
“Yes. It’s just a matter of time.”
“That’s great, Xavier. I know that you’ve always loved me. We can still be together in the
future, right?”
After Yulissa finished her words, Winnie saw her walking toward Xavier from the crack of
the door. From the position of their legs, the two should be hugging each other and Xavier
had no intention of avoiding her.
Unfortunately, Winnie could not see anything above their legs because of the angle.

But she guessed Xavier should have reached out and hugged Yulissa, as she heard him
comforting Yulissa, “Yulissa, listen to me. As long as you don’t leave again, we can
definitely go back to how things once were.”
Winnie was furious. What an a*shole! You’re a total jerk!
Is this a reunion for the two of you? A good girl from a mediocre family was disliked by
wealthy parents. She was then forced to leave her hometown after being separated from
her boyfriend. A few years later, the woman makes a comeback, and the affectionate
boyfriend opens his arms to welcome his girlfriend without hesitation and then kicks away
the foolish wife at home. What the hell is this?
Winnie felt betrayed. She stood unmoving for a moment to tamp down her anger, then
turned around and went to the dressing room to remove a curtain rod.
The door handle of this fire escape was ring-shaped. She inserted the curtain rod into the
handle. Unless the person inside was an extremely strong man, it would be impossible to
open the door.
Yulissa did not have a bag, so Winnie assumed she did not have her phone with her since
she was wearing a dress that had nowhere to keep a phone.
As for Xavier’s phone, Winnie noticed earlier that Louis had been holding the phone for
him.
She would not care about him if they were divorced. However, as long as they were still
husband and wife, Xavier’s action was considered cheating!
Since you like to have some private time, fine, I’ll give you some space!
Winnie returned to the banquet hall as if nothing had happened.
Nathaniel was still chatting with the other guests. But after seeing her, he quickly ended
his conversation and walked toward her.
At one glance, Nathaniel noticed the difference in Winnie. “What’s wrong? Did you hurt
your eye?”
“No. My makeup smudged.” Winnie fiddled with her bangs lightly to better cover the left
half of her face.
Nathaniel was still a little worried as he saw an abrasion on her face.
“Why don’t we find a place with fewer people to sit down? I have something to talk to you
about too. Do you want something to drink? I’ll get it for you.”
“It’s okay. You’re really sweet.”
“That’s what I should do. After all, standing in front of me is the amazing Ms. Gator.”
Soon, they found a relatively quiet place.
Nathaniel said, “I was talking to the CEO of MT. He would like to cooperate with me. What
do you think?”
Winnie quickly recalled some information about MT. She said in a stern voice, “They
started out by investing in military equipment, and their backgrounds are very
complicated. You need to be careful when working with them.”
“Oh, my dear Gator! You always hit the nail on the head. It’s really my honor to work with
you for a long time,” Nathaniel exclaimed.

“You’re a great partner too!”
Meanwhile, the petrifying chilliness exuded by Xavier was enough to freeze everyone
present into ice sculptures.
He had never once thought that he would be locked in the fire escape by a curtain rod.
If it was not for a cleaner who had just happened to pass by, he had no idea when he
would be discovered under the circumstances that he did not even have a phone with him.
At that moment, he was checking the surveillance footage in the control room.
He crossed his arms across his chest with a murderous look on his face.
Even Josiah and Louis, who had come with him, did not dare to get too close to him.
Yulissa followed him into the control room as well. However, she dared not get close to him
too, for fear that he would be annoyed. After all, she had not seen him for so many years.
Somehow, she felt that Xavier was different from before. He was more mature and
charming now. But at the same time, he was also more cold-hearted.
“Fast forward!” This was the first sentence Xavier said after coming in.
The security guard immediately obeyed his order.
Then, on the screen, Xavier could be seen following Yulissa into the fire escape.
Immediately afterward, a foreign woman in a gold fishtail dress followed. After
eavesdropping for a while, she quickly entered one of the rooms, took out a curtain rod,
and locked the door of the fire escape.
“Pause! Great!” Xavier sneered and took a glance at his watch. “Bring this woman to me
in ten minutes.”
