Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 91

“Winnie is a simpleton, Grandpa. Her words are completely untrustworthy and contradictory. Even if we go to court, a simpleton’s words are inadmissible as evidence.”

Zyon added, trying his best to discredit Winnie, “You can’t be considering to believe a simpleton over your own grandson, can you, Grandpa?”

“How is that possible?” Rufus frowned. “Do I look like I’m senile? You were the one to have found Winnie, Louis. Were you already in cohorts with her before you brought her back to me?”

“No, Mr. Fairchild! I swear that we are not conspiring. Zyon did pay off the private investigator.”

“All right. Bring the private investigator to me,” Rufus said sternly. “I wish to interrogate him myself.”

“Er… He disappeared. I cannot contact him, but I will locate him.”

“Pfft!” Zyon chortled. “You can’t produce any evidence, yet you’re accusing me. How did you become the assistant to the CEO of Fairchild Corporation with brains like yours? You’re not welcome here. Get lost!”

“Watch yourself. You will get what’s coming one of these days. I will make a police report and have you sued!” At that, Louis turned around and marched out.

Winnie hurried after him. “You left me behind, Louis. I came with you.”

Jacinta, too, ran after her granddaughter.

“Hah!” Zyon laughed. “You see, Grandpa? The simpleton said they came together. They have planned to frame me from the start.”

After the trio exited, only Josiah and the two Fairchilds remained behind in the room.

Josiah’s expression turned grim.

Zyon cast him a disdainful glance. “What is it, Dr. Houghton? Are you unhappy because my grandfather didn’t believe your lies?”

Josiah adjusted his spectacles. “I think the simpleton is telling the truth, Mr. Fairchild.”

Zyon have always been at odds, and it ends today. Never have me listen to the rumors you concoct against the Fairchilds again. All right, you may go. I
