The Substitute Bride: Idiot Or Not?

However, just as he was staring at Winnie, the phone on the table suddenly rang.

"Josiah, what is it?" Xavier answered the phone with a frown.

"It's nothing. I just wanted to ask if the caretaker I recommended for you has arrived. We arranged for her to be there today," Josiah said over the phone.

"She's here already," Xavier replied in a moody tone, "Did you call me just for such a menial matter? Don't you have anything better to do?"

"Like hell! I'm calling because I care about you. I wanted to pick a caretaker who is experienced and speaks the least. That way you will be satisfied. However, I suddenly realized a problem." "What problem?"

"Well, I discovered that this caretaker's eyes are pretty similar to Winnie's. I'm not worried that you might start to see things, but you're quite the crazy person. You're crazy enough to break your legs even when you're drunk. Who knows if you'll do something unexpected again?"

"What did you say?" Xavier was taken aback for a moment. Am I imagining things because her eyes are similar to Dumbo's? Is my imagination causing me to see Dumbo in anyone?

"I'm saying that you're crazy enough to drink and-"

"No. What did you say about the caretaker?"

"Oh, her eyes are slightly similar to Winnie's. If you're uncomfortable with it, I'll arrange another caretaker for you."

"There's no need for that. It's fine. Bye." She's not Dumbo anyway. Does it even matter if any part of anyone's body looks like her? It's still not her.

As she was standing close to Xavier, Winnie overheard everything Josiah said on the phone and felt a little strange because she heard him mention something about "seeing things." He said that Xavier might think of her.

If this was before the appearance of Yulissa, she might think that Xavier desired her body when she pretended to be mentally challenged.

However, since Yulissa appeared, Xavier became delusional. He drove Winnie away for Yulissa's sake. Now that Winnie had gone missing, he began missing her instead.

Winnie glanced at Xavier and said indifferently, "Mr. Fairchild, I just recovered from a cold. If you don't mind me taking off my mask—”

"Get out!"

Once again, before she could finish her words, Xavier cut her off coldly.

How rude!

Winnie tried to be patient. Although she was unhappy with Xavier's tone, she wouldn't be foolish enough to argue with him.

"I'll leave the medicine and water here. Please call me if you need anything."

As Winnie finished speaking, she left the room.

As soon as she walked out of the room, she heard Xavier calling someone else.

"Something is wrong. The person that night might not be Winnie. It might be someone else. She might have been in the Fairchild residence the whole time. Search every nook and cranny of the compound! Do you understand?"

Winnie's hand paused when she was closing the door. He's pretty attentive! But it's already too late. Even if he realized Yulissa's true identity, she wouldn't be able to hang around the Fairchild residence. As for that bastard Xavier, he can do whatever he likes! I'm not the one at a loss here.

After searching briefly in the living room, Winnie didn't find her badge.

After looking around, she reckoned that it was about time Xavier was asleep. Hence, she returned to Xavier's lounge room.

She sneakily cracked the door open and saw Xavier asleep on his desk.

She mixed a powerful sleeping pill into his medicine that she had brought back from overseas. It was highly effective.

In other words, she could now rummage through the lounge room without worry.

Her first target was to search the desk on which Xavier was lying on his face.

However, the drawers and cabinets of his desk were all locked, and it seemed like it required Xavier's fingerprints or a password to open them.

She didn't know the password, so she could only try to use his fingerprints.

Just as she lifted Xavier's hand and was about to unlock them, she suddenly heard the doorbell ringing incessantly.

"Damn it!" Winnie cursed silently. Who is it this time!

She had no choice but to quickly put down Xavier's hand and restore the pen holder she had just turned over to its original position. Then, she trotted over to open the door.

As soon as she opened the door, Winnie nearly rolled her eyes.

The person at the door turned out to be Yulissa.

The elevator in this building requires fingerprints to use. If she's able to come up here this easily, she must have a very close relationship with Xavier. But that's not the point. This woman once tried to kill me! "Who are you, and why are you here?" Yulissa questioned Winnie in a very impolite tone.

Winnie glanced at Yulissa and replied casually, "I'm the caretaker recommended by Dr. Houghton, and you are?"

"Oh, the caretaker. Now that I think about it, Josiah did mention something about a caretaker. I'm Mr. Fairchild's girlfriend, and I'm here to take care of him. If you're done with everything, please don't disturb us."

After knowing that the woman before her was a caretaker, and she didn't seem too young, Yulissa's expression eased up a little.

As she finished speaking, she went straight to Xavier's lounge room.

Winnie looked as she walked past her and said calmly, "By the way, Mr. Fairchild just had his medicine. It looked like he was asleep on the table, and I was about to help him to his bed. I didn't expect you to come over."

"He's asleep? Give me a hand. Also, you may call me Ms. White."

"Okay, Ms. White."

The two entered the lounge room together and helped Xavier to the bed.

However, Xavier was tall and heavy, and Yulissa was a drug addict. Hence, she was already sweating profusely after exerting a little strength.

Winnie glanced at her and smiled. "Ms. White, you must be tired. Have a seat. I'll fetch you a glass of water."

"Sure. Go on. I want warm water," Yulissa ordered unceremoniously.

"Okay."

Soon, Winnie returned with a glass of warm water. "Ms. White, here you go."

At that time, Yulissa was very thirsty, and she guzzled the glass of warm water in one go.

After drinking the water, she suddenly became light-headed. However, she didn't overthink it because she was aware of her poor physical condition.

She rubbed her temples and staggered toward the bedside. As she walked, she said to Winnie, "I'm a little tired. I want to rest for a while. You may leave."

"Okay, Ms. White." Although Winnie responded, she remained motionless on her feet.

Under her face mask, her lips turned into a cold smirk.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

At the same time, she began to count down in her head.

Ten, nine, eight, seven... As she counted to one, Yulissa fell flat on the bed with a plop.
