Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

With that, Wilhelm pushed the three contracts in a folder in front of him toward Xavier.

Xavier narrowed his eyes at Wilhelm to scrutinize him as he tapped the table with a deadpan expression. Still, he showed no intention of touching the contracts.

He said not a word but stared coldly at Wilhelm for over ten seconds.

Wilhelm did not appreciate Xavier’s attitude toward him, so he added with a cold face, “Sooner or later, you will change your mind. You’ll see.”

Only after hearing that did Xavier finally show some emotions. He leaned forward slightly with a smirk and continued to gaze at Wilhelm. “You seem pretty confident, Mr. Speiser. I can’t help but wonder how much these three contacts are worth. Do you really think they’re enough to buy me off?

Wilhelm scoffed in response after listening to Xavier. “You wouldn’t be asking me such a silly question if you were smart enough, Mr. Fairchild. Open the folder, and you’ll learn how much they’re worth.”

“Oh?” Xavier casually picked up the contracts and chuckled as he flipped open the first page. “I’ll have to take a look, then.”

“Of course. Feel free to do so.” Wilhelm gestured for Xavier to go ahead with a half-smile.

Xavier nodded in response before going through the documents carefully.

Wilhelm looked over Xavier’s head at the camera in the corner as soon as the latter began paying attention to the contracts.

He raised his eyebrows provocatively at the camera, of which Winnie and Emily were on the other side.

The two women were well aware of everything that happened between Xavier and Wilhelm, as well as their conversation.

Emily could not help but get worried when Xavier began to go through the documents.

“Why is Mr. Fairchild reading the contracts? Winnie, is he someone who values money and his career a lot? Does he think they’re even more important than family?”

“No, he doesn’t.” Winnie stared at the computer screen as she casually sipped her coffee.

She was confident that Wilhelm’s contracts would not be able to buy Xavier off.

However, she wondered about the authenticity of Wilhelm’s offer. “Are the contracts Wilhelm presented to Xavier real? If Xavier were to end up signing them, would Wilhelm really live up to his promise?”

Emily shook her head in response to the question. “I’m afraid a deal that generous simply doesn’t exist in this world. If Mr. Fairchild were to choose the offer over you, I don’t think Wilhelm would let him get away that easily. Mr. Fairchild would have to pay for his lies and greed. Don’t you agree?”

Winnie nodded before taking another sip of her coffee. “I suppose so.” If Xavier chooses to sign the contracts, Wilhelm won’t even have to do a thing because I’ll be the first to make Xavier pay! I’ll make him wish he was never born!

Staring at Xavier on the screen, Winnie hoped he would not let her down. Otherwise, she would do everything in her power to make the man regret ever meeting her.

Meanwhile, in the conference room, Xavier quickly flipped through the three documents before slowly tearing them to pieces right in front of Wilhelm.

Then he looked straight at Wilhelm and said, “Mr. Speiser, I know you’re not married, but I’m not sure if you have a girlfriend. In my opinion, some things like love simply can’t be measured with money. I’ve already gone through the contracts, and I must say that they are very enticing for a businessman. However, Mr. Speiser, I have the resources, the connections, the ingenuity, and the time to continue my journey as a businessman. It’s true that I’d attain success much quicker if I were to take the deal, but I’d much rather work my up with my own two hands, even if it takes me five years, ten years, twenty years, or even more. Like the relationship between Winnie and me, some things just don’t happen overnight; they take time and effort. I have to say, Mr. Speiser, not only did you insult me, but you also insulted the love and trust Winnie had placed in me. I won’t tell her what happened today; I’ll pretend as if none of this happened.”

With that, Xavier pushed his chair away and rose to his feet. “I still look forward to the day when I greet you, Winnie’s brother, as her husband. Sorry, but I’ll have to take my leave now.”
