The Substitute Bride: Idiot Or Not? novel Chapter 22

“I have received a reply from Asiatic, but it's not good,” said Nathaniel.

“Oh? How bad is it?”

“He said that he is determined to take the Garland family down. He told us not to waste our effort.”

“What? Waste our effort?” Winnie smiled and continued, “He's overly confident, isn't he? What grudges does he have with the Garland family? Is Hamish the one who broke his leg?”

“I'm not too sure about his personal life.”

“Is he running errands for Xavier then?”

“I doubt so. The Fairchild family can easily suppress Hamish. There's no need for them to use Asiatic. So, do you still want to continue with this case?”

“Of course!” That had somehow stirred up Winnie's fighting spirit. “Are you thinking of backing out?”

“No! I'll always stand by your side, my dear Gator.”

“Good.”

The moment Winnie ended the call with Nathaniel, she received another call from her granny, who lived in the countryside.

“Winnie, does the Fairchild family have a second son?”

“Second son? Granny, are you referring to Stuart?”

“I-I'm not too sure. They didn't tell me the name. Are they a lot of second sons in the Fairchild family?”

“Granny, don't worry. Did you receive any news about my cousin?”

“That's right. I found out that the boy was taken by the second son of the Fairchild family. But, I have no idea who it is.”

“There is a Mr. Stuart. He's the second son of the Fairchild family, and he has a son who is around my age. When I get the chance, I will check if he has a birthmark on him.”

“Okay. Thank you, my dear.”

The last time Zyon tried to violate her, Winnie had completely forgotten to check him for any birthmark on his chest.

It would be quite tricky for her to go to the hospital to check him out this time around.

Ever since the last time she took Kylie to Fairchild Corporation and also after the spiking incident, Xavier had ordered his subordinates to keep a close eye on her.

The housekeeper would follow her closely even if she went to the garden for a stroll.

It looked like she had to get out of the marital arrangement as soon as possible after Rufus' birthday.

When the time came, she would throw the divorce papers at Xavier's face and say with disdain, “Ha! I'm leaving you!”

After making some prior arrangements, Winnie used the excuse of a toothache and went to the hospital where Zyon was hospitalized.

Zyon had been staying there ever since Xavier broke his bones.

Mary had accompanied Winnie to the hospital.

In order not to arouse Mary's suspicion, Winnie pretended to have a stomachache so that she could excuse herself and go to the restroom.

She had arranged for someone to wait for her in the restroom in advance. Since everyone was wearing masks, no one could recognize anyone.

Winnie took the backpack from that person. By the time she walked out of the restroom, Winnie had turned into a nurse.

Even Mary failed to recognize her when she walked right past her.

Once Winnie managed to get away from Mary, she went to Zyon's ward immediately.

To her surprise, she found Kylie in Zyon's room! Furthermore, the two of them were behaving intimately.

Since when did the two of them hook up? Winnie was very curious.
