Yulissa opened a bottle of wine and walked back and forth around the house. What should I do now? Should I come clean with Xavier and tell him to seek treatment at the hospital, or should I wait for the drug’s effect to subside?

After gulping down a glass of whiskey, she curled her lips into a smirk. No. Those are not the options I desire. Since I can’t win Xavier’s heart, why should I care about him? I want to see him go downhill.

Instead of reminding Xavier, Yulissa planned to give him another jab. I shall watch him become a maniac since he’s obsessed with the woman who dumped him. I’m sure one day he’ll destroy her.

Anticipation was written all over Yulissa’s face when she envisioned the outcome.

Meanwhile, Winnie returned to the thirty-first floor after leaving Xavier’s place.

She was taken aback when she saw Christopher standing in front of the door the moment she stepped out of the elevator.

Before Winnie could say anything, the man walked over and placed his coat over her shoulders. She could feel the warmth on his outer garment.

Christopher instantly got an anxiety lump in his throat when he accidentally saw Winne’s upper chest area. After adjusting the coat on her, he swiftly pulled his hands away.

“Xavier hit you again?” Christopher asked.

“Not really.” Winnie gave a short answer as she did not want to talk about it. “What are you doing here? Are you leaving soon?”

“No.” Christopher drew his brows together. “I came over because I’m worried Xavier might turn aggressive. I wanted to go up to take a look but realized the elevator uses fingerprint access control. I had no choice but to wait outside.”

“Yeah, the security system in this neighborhood is pretty solid.” Feeling a little annoyed, Winnie did not feel like entertaining Christopher.

She removed the coat and hinted, “It’s getting late now. I’ll have to return to the Garland residence with Granny soon. Here’s your coat.”
