The moment the door was pushed open, Winnie saw Xavier flipping through a magazine on the couch.
Seeing that, she couldn’t help but recall what she saw in Lagune Mansion back then. Back then, he was still pretending to be in a coma. He was wearing a set of casual wear and flipping through a magazine in bed. He looked like he didn’t have a care in the world. Now, he looks exactly like that. He doesn’t look like he’s being tortured by any kind of drug at all.
The sound of Winnie opening the door had attracted Xavier’s attention.
He retracted his gaze from the magazine and looked toward Winnie.
At that moment, his cold gaze turned somewhat passionate.
While looking in Winnie’s direction, it seemed like he was staring at everything he wanted in life.
Under Winnie’s slightly relieved gaze and Josiah’s surprised gaze, Xavier walked toward Winnie.
Josiah had even whispered in Winnie’s ear, “This is great! It seems like he remembers you.”
Winnie heaved a sigh of relief because that was what she had in mind, too. The more he remembers, the faster he’ll recover.
Seeing that he was heading in her direction, Winnie walked toward him as well.
However, something unexpected happened. Xavier ignored Winnie and walked past her.
When that happened, Winnie couldn’t help but frown.
Josiah was puzzled.
The person who was the most surprised by what was going on was Christopher.
That was because Xavier had walked up to him and grabbed his hand.
With a frown and a complicated look on his face, Xavier uttered domineeringly, “Dumbo, I’m going to say this again. Yulissa doesn’t exist. Forget that name! Also, I’m never going to see you as my little sister. Hence, don’t address me as your brother anymore. I’m not your brother. Lastly, I’m going to take you with me when I attend the charity gala in three days’ time. You’ll be my only female companion that night. Do you hear me?”
Christopher was rendered speechless, while Josiah and Winnie were flabbergasted.
“Do you hear me?” Xavier asked again.
Christopher was so stunned that he didn’t know how to respond.
“What is it? Are you so happy that you can’t utter a word in response?” With that, Xavier grabbed Christopher by his neck and pinned him against the wall.
Xavier and Christopher were about the same height, so Xavier was looking at him at eye level.
Noticing that, Xavier furrowed his brows, and he looked frustrated. “What happened, Dumbo? How did you suddenly get so tall?”
Christopher, Josiah, and Winnie were all utterly stupefied.
“What…” Winnie stared blankly at Josiah.
