It took Nate a while to get used to the powerful light before he opened his eyes.

Seeing that Winnie had kept the pocket knife away, he narrowed his eyes at the car and snorted.

“Looks like the coward, Xavier, is here. Great timing. You two can work together to harm me just like how you killed Yulissa!” he mocked.

Winnie frowned and fought back the urge to whip the pocket knife out again. “You’d better mind your words.”

“Ha!” Nate sneered. “What if I refuse to do as told? Are you going to teach me a lesson? I have to admit that you and Xavier are a match made in heaven. You say the same disgusting words!”

Winnie snorted in response. “Is this already disgusting for you? I suggest you take a thorough stomach checkup at the hospital. You might be ill and need to receive treatment as soon as possible.”

“Shut up! Stop acting all arrogant in front of me!” Nate had lost his knife, so he closed in on Winnie without hesitation.

Winnie didn’t even blink. “I want to talk to you calmly, but it seems that you’re not intending on doing so.”

Nate clenched his jaw furiously. “I only have one wish—to make you pay for what you did! I want you both to kneel before Yulissa’s grave and repent your sins! Don’t you worry. Before Xavier arrives, I won’t do anything to you. I want him to watch as his beloved woman gets tortured.”

“Are you sure you have what it takes?” Winnie’s patience was wearing thin.

She reached out and pressed the pocket knife to Nate’s neck.

“You can’t even handle me. Are you sure you want to wait until Xavier arrives? Actually, I prefer solving problems reasonably instead of resorting to violence. However, it seems that you won’t understand that I’m being nice unless I give you a beating. Compared to what you did to me, I’m being really nice to you right now.”

Before Winnie could finish, the car drove over to them and started honking at them urgently.

Winnie’s hand froze when she heard the honks.

She kept the pocket knife as something seemed off. This shouldn’t be Xavier’s car. He would never honk at me.

Both Nate and Winnie glanced at the black Bentley.

They saw the men in the front seats at the same time.

Winnie knitted her brows as she didn’t know who the men were.

Nate also frowned.

Both men clad in black suits opened the doors and got out of the Bentley.

The slightly older man then came toward Nate.

Before he spoke, he gave Nate a polite nod.

“Mr. Nate, Mrs. Fraser told us to give you a ride home,” he said respectfully.

Hearing that, Winnie glanced at Nate.

No wonder the man honked so loudly earlier. Turns out he works for the Fraser family. He was afraid I’d hurt their Mr. Nate.

Nate’s lips curved when he noticed Winnie looking at him.

He declared arrogantly, “I’m sorry for disappointing you, Winnie. Instead of Xavier, my men have come here.”

The Fraser family’s butler had seen Winnie holding Nate at knifepoint earlier, so he immediately stood in front of Nate in a protective manner.

In a low voice, he asked, “Mr. Nate, do you need me to call the police?”
