The official websites of those organizations and foundations expressed their support for Winnie and
expressed their gratitude for all that she had done for children and people with intellectual disabilities.
Apart from that, many parents of mentally-handicapped children had written thousands of words to
share their struggles, thank her for her selfless help, and praise her virtues.
Considering the ramifications of the incident for society, even the publicity department of the police
station in the northern district of the city that detained her for possessing illegal drugs back then
brought up the subject and clarified it for her during a live broadcast. Additionally, they warned the
general public against filing fabricated reports, despite having the right to report an offense.
Every single official account and real family spoke out in favor of Winnie. They were not bragging in
any way. They were simply telling the truth.
Once more, Winnie’s name was known all over the country and her good deeds were visible to anyone
with a smartphone.
What a display of generosity and kindness!
How many people in Chanaea, or even the entire world, were capable of such generosity?
All the netizens changed how they addressed Winnie and called her Ms. Garland respectfully.
Some even stated that they would support her even if she was a citizen of Yartran for all the charitable
acts she had done in Chanaea.
She was free to choose any nationality as long as she was content with it. She was extraordinarily
strong and had made important contributions to society. Hence, she would most likely be welcomed as
a citizen of any nation.
Because of her alone, the stock price and reputation of Garland Group skyrocketed.
However, Winnie scowled when Jasmine showed her the trending news online.
Noticing her expression of displeasure, Jasmine instantly explained, “I didn’t say anything about Hope
Elementary School. You mentioned not wanting the kids to be disturbed. I would never dare tell anyone
about it.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I’m aware that you didn’t say it.” Winnie knitted her brows tightly. “If those people really want to know,
they can easily find out everything I’ve done.”
It was just that she had never intended to be so high-profile.
She never wanted her charitable work or her relationship with the Speiser family to be known to the
general public.
Yet, she seemed to gain more and more fame ever since she married Xavier and acquired Garland
Group.
Her name had become well-known across the nation, particularly in the last few days, thanks to Nate.
Nate, meanwhile, was still unsatisfied despite smashing the computer. Along with the TV in the living
room, he also smashed his newly purchased phone.
Originally, his intention was to make everyone pour scorn on Winnie. Little did he know that, as things
progressed, she would be exalted to the skies.
In the past few days, her popularity had reached an unprecedented level. Most likely, no one would be
able to surpass her in the upcoming years.
“No. I can’t let her go like this.” Nate refused to give up. He could not accept that the woman he loved
was no longer alive, but Winnie was admired by thousands of people.
Hearing Nate’s words, his assistant was rendered speechless.
“Nate, please give up. Don’t even think about putting Winnie Garland down. Her social influence is now
far too strong.”
“So what? I’m not afraid of her. Just wait and see!”
In the meantime, Winnie left Garland Group with Jacinta once she had finished her work.
She habitually opened the door for her grandmother, but Jacinta remained motionless.
“After sending me home, where are you going?” Jacinta questioned Winnie as she cast a wary glance
the latter’s way.
Feeling nonplussed, Winnie replied, “Of course, I’m going to stay with you, Granny.”
“Be specific. Where are we going together? Are you trying to take me to Xavier’s mansion?”
“Granny, you’re overthinking it. I plan to go back to our own place with you.”
In fact, Winnie had received a call from Xavier a few hours ago.
He said that there was a significant issue with a project in the neighboring city and that he had to travel
there personally, so he was not in Avenport at the moment.
However, even if he was in Avenport, she would still accompany her grandmother that night.
“That’s more like it!” With that said, Jacinta obediently got into the car.
Since Winnie was a little exhausted, she closed her eyes as soon as she got in the car. It was Jacinta
who woke her up when they arrived.
After eating something at home, Winnie was no longer as sleepy as she had been.
Only then did she tell Jacinta about Xavier’s situation.
Needless to say, Jacinta could not believe her ears when she heard it.
“What? So many things happened on the night of the fiftieth-anniversary celebration? There was even
a casualty? Why did you hide such a significant matter from me? Do you intend to never return and
keep quiet if I didn’t go to Fairchild Corporation?”
“I don’t want you to worry about me. The situation was extremely dangerous that day. Even now,
thinking back on it makes me feel a little scared. If it hadn’t been for Xavier, maybe I would have
become stupid again, just like when I was a kid.”
“Is that real?” Jacinta was still unable to believe it. “Why hasn’t anyone brought up Yulissa’s death at all
if she is dead?”
“It’s because it’s in a relatively remote demolition area. In addition, the Fairchild family requested that it
be kept a secret. Without a doubt, the police wouldn’t disclose it to the general public. Not everyone in
the Fairchild family was aware of it.”
“I see. It’s true that he deserves our sincere gratitude for saving you from those needles, but Winnie…”
Jacinta frowned before continuing, “He became like this because of you, so you should indeed take
good care of him, but that doesn’t mean you have to be his lifelong partner to show your appreciation.
His family isn’t an ordinary family. I’m sure they could hire a professional caretaker to take care of him.
If you really want to help, you can hire a qualified caretaker and pay for it. You’ve promised me that
you’d divorce him. I was already against your relationship before he was injected with the toxin. I would
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnever agree to it now that he’s in this state and could go insane at any time!”
“Granny.” Winnie furrowed her brows slightly. “I understand you’re concerned about me. You think that
the men of the Fairchild family have poor morals and would harm me. However, if everything Xavier
had gone through had been a test, he would have passed it long ago. I’m in love with him right now,
and I want to spend the rest of my life with him. Granny, you’re a very special person to me, and I’m
hoping for your blessing.”
After a lengthy period of silence, Jacinta piped up, “No. He passed your test but not mine!”
Winnie finally cracked a smile when she heard that. “I’m glad you’re willing to give him a chance. He
won’t let you down, I’m sure of it.”
In the neighboring city, although Louis worked hard to keep Winnie’s situation a secret from Xavier,
Xavier still heard about the news because it was trending online.
As soon as Xavier finished reading it, he was infuriated. “Who the hell is slandering Dumbo? Is it Nate
Fraser?”
Josiah, who had come with Xavier to look after him, asked, “Do you really understand the news?”
“What do you mean?” Xavier questioned.
Letting out a sigh, Josiah inquired, “Do you still think she’s dumb after all this?”
Instantaneously, Xavier frowned and stated in a serious and solemn tone, “What’s wrong with you? She
has always been my Dumbo!” Having said that, he instructed Louis, “Call Nate. I’d like to meet him.
The sooner the better.”
“Okay, Mr. Xavier.”
Louis picked up the phone and called right away to schedule a meeting with Nate.
He initially had a normal expression on his face, but as soon as he heard what the other party was
saying, his expression quickly became unpleasant.
“What’s wrong?” Xavier queried the moment he sensed that something was amiss.
Upon hearing that, Louis frowned and handed the phone to Xavier.
“Mr. Xavier, Mr. Nate has asked to speak with you.”
