Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier) novel Chapter 109

Xavier did not receive an immediate reply once he had sent the message.

After all, it was already one in the morning. Winnie would most likely be asleep by then.

Nevertheless, there would still be people working diligently late into the night, such as Louis.

A minute ago, he had sent Xavier some documents.

Mr. Xavier, these are the documents from the logistic companies under Fairchild Corporation that Mrs. Fairchild had asked for. I did notice some discrepancies in some accounts as well as the shipping routes. Would you like to view it before I send it to Mrs. Fairchild?

Xavier immediately downloaded and opened the documents.

Louis had circled the discrepancies in red. As Xavier continued to browse through, his frown got deeper and deeper.

He knew that this clue had first been given by Christopher, the captain of the Narcotics Enforcement Department, to Winnie. Christopher was the one who had asked her to investigate the logistics companies.

Nonetheless, Xavier could not get himself to like Christopher.

Xavier remembered that Winnie had mentioned that she and Christopher even had a mutual friend between the two of them.

Winnie also had never pretended to be mentally impaired in front of Christopher. Hence, Xavier refused to believe that Christopher did not have any feelings toward Winnie.

In fact, he was certain that Christopher had feelings for her. Otherwise, Christopher would not send her home, nor would he drape a coat over her.

Moreover, any investigation related to drugs would be dangerous. Christopher might be used to it since it was his job, but Winnie had never been involved in such investigations.

Xavier did not want her to take that risk.

Thus, he made a decision on his own.

Xavier: I’ve gone through the documents. You don’t have to send it to Mrs. Fairchild, nor do you have to contact her any further regarding this. Please give me the contact number of Christopher from the Narcotics Enforcement Department. I’ll contact him myself.

Louis: All right, Mr. Fairchild. Give me a moment.

Within a minute, Louis sent Xavier a phone number.

Here’s the contact number of Captain Bennett.

The moment he received the phone number, Xavier dialed the number on the spot without any hint of hesitation.

Christopher’s job was taxing, causing him to constantly stay up till two or three in the morning.

It was only a little past one. In other words, Christopher was wide awake, and within seconds, he picked up the phone.

“Hello, Christopher speaking. Who’s this?”

“Hi, this is Xavier Fairchild. Are you free to talk right now? I have the documents regarding the logistics companies under Fairchild Corporation that you wanted. Other than that, I have a video clip that I believe you’d be interested in.” After a brief pause, Xavier answered, “Sure. I’ll send it to you in a few.”

The exchange between the two men was brief and straight to the point.

Once they had ended the call, Xavier brought his phone and went to the room Yulissa was in.

Yulissa had just finished injecting herself and was relaxing by leaning against the bedframe.

Seeing that Xavier had entered so suddenly, she immediately stood up and hastily tidied herself up.

Even though she had already accidentally shown him her evil and disheveled side, she secretly still cared about his impression of her.

To her dismay, Xavier did not even toss her a second glance but immediately stated the reason he was there. “Send me the video you’ve shown me just now. I want to submit it to the police. Any objections?”

Yulissa’s brows knitted together. She felt a little uneasy to do so. After all, if the video got leaked, it would be the end of her.

“Is that police officer trustworthy?”

“He has always been investigating you and Zyon. What do you think?”

“Okay, then I’ll send it to you. Hand me your phone. The file size of the video is a bit large. It’ll be faster if I just transfer it to your phone via Nearby Share.”

“Okay.” Xavier passed Yulissa his phone. Throughout the entire process, his eyes had not left his phone for even one second for fear that Yulissa might do anything suspicious.
