“What’s the problem? Is that so hard to answer?”
Nate kept quiet and did not speak for a long time.
The room fell into a deep silence. Beatrice wanted to end things as soon as possible, so she persuaded gently, “Nate, tell Winnie everything you know, and it will all be over.”
“Go on.” On the other end of the video, Rufus also felt that Nate was delaying the issue. “It doesn’t matter how you found out. Just tell us. Winnie will not make things difficult for you for my sake.”
“Okay. I’ll tell you.” Nate suddenly turned to Winnie. “The information was given to me by a mysterious person. They said I would find what I wanted if I investigated toward a certain direction.”
“Oh? What did the person tell you? How did the person tell you? When did they tell you?” Winnie asked three questions with eloquence.
Nate stared at Winnie and replied slowly, “I don’t remember the exact time, but it was about a week ago. An item was delivered to me via the Intra-City Express Service, but the courier was wearing a helmet and a mask, so I don’t know what he looked like, nor do I have his contact information.”
“What did you receive?”
Nate went silent again after Winnie asked another question.
However, Winnie didn’t mind waiting a little longer. She knew that Nate would spill eventually.
Nate was not in a hurry either. However, although the two weren’t anxious, the others were.
“Come on, Nate. I’m at the edge of my seat here,” Beatrice urged.
“You’re about to say that you lost the item, aren’t you?” Winnie smiled. “But even if you lost it, you’ve seen it, and you should be able to describe it.”
“Ha.” Nate smirked. “You’re right. I threw it away. In fact, I ripped it into pieces. However, I did take a picture of it.”
“Then please show me the picture. Thank you.”
“Okay,” Nate replied and began to look for the photo on his phone.
“Here.” Soon, he found two photos and showed them to Winnie.
They were photographs of two printed images that contained the front and back sides of the family badge Winnie had lost.
One had a black rose embossed on it, and the other had a black scepter.
Winnie instinctively turned to look at Xavier.
“What’s wrong?” Xavier frowned.
“You told me the badge is with you.” Winnie furrowed her brows and said.
Xavier was stunned. “This is my first time seeing this badge.”
“That’s right. You no longer remember.” Winnie’s frown deepened. Xavier didn’t remember anything that happened after Yulissa appeared. It only made sense that he didn’t remember a thing about the badge.
“Have you ever seen this in your office?” Winnie questioned again.
Xavier knitted his brows slightly. “No. This is yours. Did you lose it?”
“Yes.”
