“Oh my.” She reached up and stroked his face. “You look like you’re really angry. Don’t get upset, okay?”
Xavier replied after a long pause, “I’m not.”
“Then why do you still look so grim?”
“That’s my nature.”
“As if I’ll believe that.” Winnie rolled her eyes at him and lost any interest in comforting him. She sat up and made to leave his embrace.
However, Xavier would not allow that and pulled her back into his arms. “You must be delighted now. Tonight’s news is enough to blow up the internet. As long as none of us speak up to clarify the issue, it will remain a hot topic.”
“Indeed.” Winnie was getting sleepy and yawned before continuing, “It’s best if it can spread across every street and alley of Chanaea.”
Xavier was still sporting a stern expression. “Never use this tactic again. I don’t want to see others talking about you like this online.”
She gave him a light punch. “But this isn’t part of my plan at all. It was unexpected, and Shania was the biggest unforeseen factor!”
However, the result was just as the two had predicted.
Nate’s birthday banquet devolved into a complete farce. News in the entertainment industry had always spread widely; moreover, it was regarding someone as popular as him.
After such a commotion last night, his image was on the verge of collapse, while Winnie instantly became well-known by everyone.
Whether it was those supporting Nate or those taking the opportunity to defame him, they were all frantically digging up her information.
Soon, Winnie and Nate were on the trending topics together.
Furthermore, the topic of her and Nate was trending more than that of Xavier and her.
Coupled with her intention to spend money on marketing, her affairs gained nationwide attention for quite a long time.
However, no suspicious person appeared around her during that period.
Likewise, Xavier had not encountered any incidents since he was nearly hit by a flower pot.
There was nothing Winnie could not do about the outcome, but she did not expect that her news would bring Wilhelm over.
…
Xavier was even more nervous than Winnie about Wilhelm’s decision to do that.
However, the latter’s visit was not unexpected as he had called Winnie in advance.
When she received the call, Xavier was busy drying her hair. He overheard the entire conversation and ascertained that the news was the cause.
Wilhelm had previously put a lot of effort into deleting all of Winnie’s information from Chanaea, but she became famous on the internet again in the blink of an eye.
The fact that it happened and it was still the same kind of scandalous news made him very unhappy, so he planned to come to Avenport while he was on business to find out what was going on.
Hence, Xavier and Winnie received Wilhelm at Lagune Mansion two days later.
After learning about Winnie’s motives and plans, the latter also expressed his understanding. In any case, there was no use in him objecting anymore.
After they had finished discussing her matter, she inquired about the purpose of Wilhelm’s trip.
Only then did she find out that his main purpose was to visit Erihal to inspect the diamond mines, but the outcome did not appear to be satisfactory.
