Chapter 413 He Will Regret It
“All right.” Mary immediately went to get Winnie’s phone upon her request.
Winnie dialed Louis’ number after taking over the phone.
However, it was not Louis who picked up the call. Instead, it was a middle-aged woman.
Winnie furrowed her brows and asked, “Hello. I’m looking for Louis. You are?”
“You must be Mrs. Fairchild,” said the woman on the other end of the phone. “I saw the caller ID. I’m
Louis’ mother. He’s already asleep, and I answered your call because I was afraid you might have
something urgent to tell him. I’m sorry, Mrs. Fairchild. I heard that Louis was out with Mr. Fairchild for an
appointment tonight. That was why he got drunk and fell asleep right after getting home. If you don’t
have anything urgent, could you wait until tomorrow? I’m afraid it won’t be easy to wake him up right now
as he’s too drunk. Actually, he looked quite sober when he came back just now, but it seemed like the
aftereffects of the liquor he drank today were quite strong as he fell into a deep slumber right after getting
out of the shower. He wasn’t usually like this. By the way, Mrs. Fairchild, I believe Mrs. Fairchild has
gotten home safely, right?”
Louis’ mother had spilled the beans on everything Winnie wanted to find out.
Initially, Winnie wanted to ask Louis how much Xavier had to drink and why Louis didn’t stop his boss
from drinking so much.
However, before she could do so, Louis’ mother had inadvertently told her everything she wanted to
know. Winnie got her answer. The aftereffects of the alcohol they drank tonight were too strong.
Since Louis was already fast asleep, there wasn’t much Winnie could do.
However, Josiah’s call came in right after she hung up.

“What’s the matter, Ms. Garland? Why did you hang up the call right when I was about to pick it up? Did
you dial the wrong number?”
“No, it wasn’t that,” Winnie said. Then, Mary and the housekeeper in charge of cleaning came into the
room.
Winnie decided against revealing too much in front of them and asked, “Where are you right now? Could
you come over?”
“Sure. I’m nearby. Wait up. I’ll come over in ten minutes’ time.”
“Okay. No rush.”
Winnie was already waiting at the study when Josiah arrived.
He sensed that something was wrong and asked Mary, “What happened? Why is your expression
looking odd too?”
Mary didn’t feel comfortable discussing her employer’s private matters and briefly explained, “Mr. Xavier
had one too many drinks and threw a drunken fit when he got home. He and Mrs. Fairchild got into a
fight. Mr. Xavier left just now, and Mrs. Fairchild is not in a good mood.”
“Huh?” Dumbfounded, Josiah frowned. “He was drunk and got into an argument with Winnie?”
“Yes. He even broke something,” Mary quipped.
“That’s not possible,” Josiah exclaimed in disbelief. “Xavier wouldn’t do something like that.”
“It’s true,” Mary said. “I won’t simply make up lies about my employers right under their noses.”
Josiah nodded. “All right. I’m going to take a look. Carry on with your duties. I’ll head to the study.”
Then, he hastened his pace toward the study and arrived at the door.
He knocked on the door when he noticed that the door was partially closed.
Winnie’s voice rang. “Come in.”
Only the floor lamp was turned on in the study, and Winnie was sitting right under it.
Josiah noticed the little scar on her cheek.
He immediately frowned and asked, “What’s the matter with your face? Did Xavier do that?”
Winnie did not answer his question and merely said, “He was really weird tonight.”
“Because he was drunk?” Josiah went over to examine the injury on her face. He heaved a sigh of relief
when he realized it was nothing serious.
Winnie murmured in agreement but soon frowned, “Even if he was drunk, his behavior was still
abnormal. He said some hurtful things that made me wonder if he didn’t take his medication during his
time in Alendor and became mentally unstable. I called you to come over and check on him, but he
accused me of having an affair with you for calling you in the middle of the night. Then, he hung up the
call.”
“Huh?” Josiah was flabbergasted. “How drunk was he to say such things? I’m going to give him a proper
checkup when he’s sober tomorrow. But I heard that he’d left. Do you know where he went?”
“Yes. I asked the driver. He went to Aqua Moana. I asked him to get lost,” Winnie replied.
Josiah didn’t know how he should react. “He’s sober enough to avoid drunk driving. Well, at least he
didn’t drive.”
“Of course. He reeks of alcohol. The housekeeper won’t let him out alone like that.”
“And you didn’t try to stop him at all?”
Winnie took a deep breath and pointed at her own face. “Look at this. Can’t you see that I’m mad right
now? Why would I stop him? I almost couldn’t stop myself from hitting him!”
Josiah was relieved to see that Winnie still had the heart to joke. “All right. Let me know when you plan to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhit him. I’m going to pick just the right sword for you. Then, you’re going to unleash all your fencing skills
on him.”
Winnie let out a long breath. “Gah, this is so frustrating!”
“Don’t be upset,” Josiah said with a smile. “He loves you so much that when he wakes up sober
tomorrow morning, he’ll come back to apologize to you. Xavier would give his life for you, so he’ll be filled
with regret when he realizes that he said hurtful things to you while he was drunk. Maybe he’ll even
break a cup and ask you to slash his face as an apology.”
“That won’t be necessary. Anyway, do check him out tomorrow morning. I still think something’s not right
with him,” Winnie said. Then, she recalled the words that Xavier had said to her.
Winnie was utterly shocked when she heard Xavier’s hurtful words, so much so that she was left
speechless and couldn’t even muster up the anger to react.
In retrospect, however, she felt a little upset.
Back then, she refused to reveal the red marks on her body to him. However, at his insistence and
assurance that he wouldn’t mind, Winnie relented.
Hence, Winnie was taken aback when he suddenly blurted out that her body was disgusting in his
drunken state.
Does he really think that way? After all, drunk words are sober thoughts.
Meanwhile, in a dimly lit bedroom with only a single bed in a worn-down residential area, Harold
relentlessly thrusted into Shania as if he was taking out all his frustration on her.
After a series of intense thrusts, the man finally cursed in a low voice and stopped, responding to the
woman’s desperate pleas. She had almost reached her breaking point under his forceful advances.
Then, Harold turned around and sat by the bed.
As soon as he sat up, she got up, lit him a cigarette, and lazily leaned against his shoulder, asking, “Is it
true that Xavier is dead? He won’t be coming back, will he? And you’ll be the one in charge of Fairchild
Corporation from now on, right?”
