The Substitute Bride: Idiot Or Not?

Didn't he say that he would attend with Yulissa? Did something happen?

The person in charge of the charity gala was just as curious as Winnie.

When he was chatting with Xavier, he asked, "Mr. Fairchild, did you not bring a female companion today?"

Xavier gave the person in charge a cold look and said, "Am I now allowed to enter without a female companion?"

"No, no, no. I definitely don't mean that!" The person in charge broke out in a cold sweat. He had no idea why Xavier was in such a bad mood.

The moment Xavier left with a dark face, Nathaniel finished with the greetings and returned to Winnie's side.

He pointed to Xavier's back and said to Winnie, "Did you see the man just now? He's Xavier Fairchild, the current CEO of Fairchild Corporation. It's unbelievable that he's still in such perfect shape after waking up from a coma, and he's so good-looking. I believe he must be the dream man of many women in Avenport."

"Really?" Winnie curled her lips slightly. Xavier was indeed not bad. Even Winnie had once thought about possessing him. "But don't forget that he already has a wife."

"Oh, okay. But I don't think his marriage with the dumb girl from the Garland family can last long. I believe many people think the same too. You see, he didn't even bring his wife this time. I heard that the chairman of the foundation had invited him to bring his wife to attend. After all, this charity gala is to raise funds for the disabled. If Xavier's wife could attend, then this event would become more meaningful."

"So?" Winnie thought she was the only one who knew that Xavier despised her for being stupid. Now it seemed that the whole world knew about it.

"So I think he doesn't care about his wife at all. He doesn't show any mercy at all in suppressing the Garland Group."

Winnie narrowed her eyes. "If it were me, I would show no mercy too."

As they talked, a lady in front accidentally stepped on her own long dress. Although she did not fall, a whole glass of whiskey was splashed on Winnie.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. Let me accompany you to the lounge to clean this," the lady quickly apologized, looking very sincere.

Winnie knew she did not do it on purpose, so she decided to just laugh it off. "It's okay. I can deal with it myself."

"Let me take you there. I'm so sorry. My name is Lily Cadigan. My father is the chairman of this charity gala. So, you're my guest too! It is my duty to take care of you. Let me take you to change a dress. I have a spare, but I'm not sure if you'll like it."

She was too polite, and out of social etiquette, Winnie introduced herself too.

"My name is Vivian. I don't think there's a need to change the dress. I'll just find a place to wipe it off. The water stains are not obvious on this dress."

Seeing Winnie's firm attitude, Lily did not persuade further. "Okay. But please allow me to lead the way."

Winnie nodded. "Thank you, then."

"Your Chanaean is very good."

"You flatter me."

Right then, when the two were about to go to the lounge, there was an uproar at the entrance of the hall.

At that moment, everyone's attention was drawn in the same direction.

Even Winnie couldn't help looking over as well.

With just one glance, she found the focus of the crowd, Xavier.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Besides, there was a woman who was elegantly dressed and walking toward Xavier.

Winnie had seen the photo of this woman many times. She was Yulissa White, Xavier's ex-girlfriend.
