“Therefore, you’ve got no choice but to obey me.”

“Great, just great! It looks like you won this round, Mr. Fairchild.” Winnie wore a smile that didn’t reach her eyes.

Xavier threw her a frosty glare. “Watch your tongue. I don’t want to hear you uttering a single word about my wife.”

Conversely, Winnie couldn’t be bothered to entertain him. Who’s his wife? Dream on!

In no time, Xavier gave Louis a call. “Withdraw twenty million from my personal account and change them into gold bars. Do it now, right this instant!”

After quickly ending the call, he immediately made another call. “Order all the bodyguards in Teams 1 and 2 to be on standby.”

By then, the man finally finished giving out instructions.

Winnie had also successfully sent out the message she had typed to Christopher.

Having turned off her phone screen, she eyed Xavier. “Are you sure you don’t want to lodge a police report?”

“Lodging a police report will easily anger the kidnappers, making it more likely that the hostage will be killed. I don’t like such a possibility.”

Winnie snickered derisively. “That’s true. How could you possibly bear to see Ms. White die when she’s as pretty as a picture? How ironic that you just declared having a wife a while ago, Mr. Fairchild.”

“What are you trying to say? Get one thing clear—even if it’s a dog belonging to me, I won’t allow it to be harmed by someone else!”

“Yeah, not to mention your first love,” Winnie added with a smirk.

That had Xavier flying into a rage. “You’d best stop while you’re ahead!”

Winnie was utterly amused. He isn’t even allowing me to speak the truth now?

Just when she was about to riposte, her phone dinged.

It was Christopher having replied to her message.

Sweeping a gaze over her phone screen, Xavier glimpsed Christopher’s name.
