“Oh? Ms. White, I’m not even close with you. Why are you so interested in my personal
issue? What are you trying to get from me, exactly?” Christopher’s expression remained
indifferent.
“Please don’t get me wrong, Captain Bennett. I’m not trying to get anything from you. My
intention is very simple. We’re just getting what each of us needs out of it. You want
Winnie, and I want Xavier. If we work together to break them up, we can get what we
want. Isn’t that great?”
“Really?” Christopher narrowed his eyes and scrutinized Yulissa. “You’re too optimistic, Ms.
White. You’re in a lot of trouble now, but you’re still thinking about those love affairs. I
really think we should talk about this video instead.”
As he spoke, he pushed the phone to Yulissa.
The smile on Yulissa’s face gradually faded. “It seems you’ve rejected my suggestion.”
She then looked at Christopher’s phone screen before quickly retracting her gaze. “I’m the
one who took the video. I don’t think there’s a need to watch it again. I know every detail
about it. Just ask whatever you want.”
“Okay.” Christopher went straight to the point. “How much do you know about the faked
death case of your grandfather, Professor Riley White? If we want to file for Professor
White’s case and begin a search and rescue operation for him, we must first collect
relevant evidence to overturn the decision of Professor White’s accidental death five years
ago. Besides, there’s another part of anti-drug that I’m responsible for, which is about
Zyon…”
Christopher and Yulissa chatted for more than two hours. He obtained a lot of useful
information from her, which gave him a major breakthrough in his investigation.

In general, he was very satisfied with today’s meeting with Yulissa, except for the other
suggestion from her, of course.
However, Yulissa did not seem to give up, as she brought the topic up again after their
discussion.
“Are you really not going to consider my suggestion?” she asked. “You’re so busy with
work. If there’s no one to help you, how are you going to get a woman like Winnie? She
can endure humiliation and pretend to be mentally challenged for so long. She’s definitely
not an ordinary person.”
Christopher did not like Yulissa’s tone and demeanor when she talked about Winnie.
Frowning, he replied, “Thank you for your kindness, Ms. White, but I think only two people
who love each other should be together. Breaking up a couple intentionally is immoral. I
think you better not do anything that is not worth the candle.”
“Yes, you’re right. I understand.” Yulissa smiled forcibly in response to Christopher’s
rejection and condemnation.
However, in truth, she did not agree with him.
What is morality? Morality is nothing. It’s just to restrict kind people from doing things as
they wish. I don’t care about morality. We only live once. I will do anything to get what I
want. If I can’t get it, I’ll destroy it!
Meanwhile, at Aqua Moana, Winnie received a call from Christopher as soon as she turned
off her computer.
“What’s the matter, Captain Bennett? Today? Sure, no problem. Okay, just tell me where
to meet. You’re nearby? Okay, I’ll go down in a bit.”
After hanging up the phone, Winnie prepared to go out.
Jacinta heard the noises and hurriedly came out of the kitchen. “Winnie, are you going
out? When will you be back? Are we still going to the Garland residence tonight?”
“I’ll be back in a while. I’m just going to meet a police officer. He’s nearby, so it shouldn’t
take long.”
“Which police officer? Is it Officer Copper who arrested Kylie last time?” The elderly always
liked to know everything in detail.
“It’s not Officer Copper. Granny, you should go take care of your soup. I think I heard the
soup boiling.”
“Oh no! My soup!” Jacinta quickly ran into the kitchen.
Winnie looked at her grandmother’s back and smiled. “I’ll be back to drink the soup later!”
After walking out of Aqua Moana, Winnie pondered for a moment and took out her phone.
She sent another text message to Xavier: Where are you right now?
Xavier did not reply to her message. Instead, he called her directly.
“Winnie, where are you?” Xavier asked, sensing that something was not right.
Winnie had asked about his whereabouts three times in a single day. This was not
something she would do normally.
“Are you at Aqua Moana?” questioned Xavier.
Winnie noticed a hint of nervousness in his voice. As she wanted to test him, she did not
tell the truth.
“Nope. I’m at the Garland residence. I’m being closely monitored. Hamish locked me in the
house since he’s afraid that I would go out and make trouble for your family. What’s the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmatter? Why did you ask so?”
Knowing that Winnie was not at Aqua Moana, Xavier heaved a sigh of relief. “I thought you
came over to find me.”
“Why? Is there a problem if I do that? Are you in love with someone else already?” asked
Winnie, smiling.
“Of course not! I’m just not home now. Nobody will welcome you in if you went there.”
“Oh, I see. Then where are you now? I thought you didn’t want to make an appearance?”
Winnie quietly waited for the lies Xavier would come up with.
“I’m out to settle an important matter.”
“Where is it? Can you share your location with me? I’m so bored at home. Can I go to
where you are?”
Xavier was silent for a while, causing the woman to smile.
“What? I can’t?”
“Of course you can. I just can’t help but feel that you’re checking on me. It’s as if you care
about me more and more now.” Xavier chuckled.
“Maybe,” replied the woman faintly. “I’ll hang up now. Don’t forget to send me your
location.”
“Okay.”
Honestly, such a thing was totally not something that Xavier would do. However, if Winnie
requested for it, he was willing to do it to give her a sense of security.
Soon, Winnie received the location shared by Xavier.
She glanced at the address. Oh, good. It seems he has been there all night.
If she did not pressure him to share his location with her, he would probably still be lying.
Just when she was about to share her location—which was at Aqua Moana—with Xavier to
surprise him, she suddenly heard Christopher calling her.
