Chapter 384
“What are you talking about? Now that you can't see. Mr. Fairchild doesn't like you anymore! On top of that. I'm much younger than you, you old hag!”
Winnie couldn't help but find it amusing when she heard that. It had been a long time since she had argued with someone. Despite Abigail claiming to be eighteen, Winnie felt as though she was arguing with an eight-year-old child.
Xavier made his way over before she could even say anything in response.
Although she couldn't see the look on liis face, she could clearly sense that he was boiling with anger.
She turned around and reached her hand out.
That was something that she had been doing a lot lately to let him know she needed liis attention.
It was incredibly effective too as shown by Xavier walking up to her and holding her hand within seconds.
“There's no need for you to get mad. I can take care of tliis myself,” Winnie said while tugging on his hand.
Xavier shot Abigail an icy-cold glare and said with a frown. “I don't get mad at people who accuse me of things I haven't done. All it takes is a phone call or two to teach them a lesson they won't forget. However, I will not allow tliis b*tch to talk to you like that!”
Winnie gave liis hand a squeeze and asked with a smile, “What would you do to her, then? Give her a few slaps?”
They both knew that Xavier didn't like hitting women.
Winnie let out a chuckle as she continued, “I'm not angry at her either, but what she said is tine. I am indeed unable to see, and I am much older than her.”
Xavier couldn't stand hearing Winnie talk about herself like that. “Don't say that. Winnie.”
Winnie gave him another tug on liis hand. “All right, then. Let's sit down somew'here. I'd like to have a little chat with this young lady over here.”
Fearing that Winnie would get upset, Xavier said. “Actually, we could just let the butler handle this.”
“It's fine. I was getting a little bored from having nothing to do anyway. Why won't you let me ask her a couple of questions? Are you feeling guilty or something?” Winnie asked half-jokingly.
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Xavier gave her a light jab on the forehead before sitting her down on the couch in the bedroom.
When Abigail saw Winnie sitting down elegantly like she owned the place. Abigail decided to stand up to make herself feel more confident.
However, Mary wras quicker and had two housekeepers pin her down.
“What do you think you're doing? You'd better behave yourself! If I recall correctly, you're only in charge of keeping the garden clean! You have no right being here!” Mary reprimanded her.
Hearing that made Winnie a lot more certain that Abigail had come prepared.
