The Cherished Wife

Power?

Winter's perspective shifted. "Yes, I have to find someone with the power to suppress the news. That's the plan!"

Winter suddenly felt invigorated. "Jane, call Ruby and say... Never mind, I'll do it myself."

Winter called Ruby, who had just seen the news about Winter. Ruby did not know what to think of Winter anymore.

Ruby had received orders from Charles the previous day to keep Winter on board. From Charles and Noelle's conversation, Ruby gleaned some understanding of why. When Winter called, Ruby played hard to get.

As she needed help, Winter was much more humble than the previous day.

"Ms. Clark, could we meet?"

"Ms. Shaw, you know how busy I am right now, right? And shouldn't you be dealing with your situation?" Ruby had seen the news about Winter and felt even more disdain for her.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"Ms. Clark, please don't misunderstand. The things online aren't true. Can we meet to discuss this? Or could you give me Mr. Hoffman's number? Mr. Wells' number would work too." Winter thought that if she could meet Charles, he would help her out of respect for Xavier.

However, Winter's plan backfired. Ruby did not give her Charles' or Ronald's contact information.

Winter had no choice but to go to Frotconn to look for Xavier.

When the secretary told Xavier that Winter had arrived, he did not want to see her. However, Winter barged in anyway. "Xavier, you have to help me this time!"

With a pitiful look on her face, she closed the door and hugged Xavier before he could react. She buried herself in his chest before bursting into tears. "Xavier, believe me, the photos aren't real. I've been framed."

"Framed? Winter, do you think I'm an idiot? Those photos are from years ago when you were a teenager. Tell me, what exactly..."

"Xavier!" Winter stood on her tiptoes and kissed the corner of Xavier's mouth. Seeing him freeze, she continued, passionately kissing him all over.

Winter was always good at this. She was confident Xavier would fall for it. Soon, she aroused his desire and pushed him onto the couch. Kneeling down, she unzipped his pants.

Xavier's eyes darkened as he tried to push Winter away, but her skilled movements quickly made him succumb. Winter worked hard to please Xavier, and just as he was about to release, she stopped abruptly.

Xavier's eyes turned cold. He grabbed Winter's head, pulling her closer. "Winter!"

Winter's lips were swollen, and she looked at him with teary eyes, which softened Xavier's heart. Seizing the moment Winter said, "Xavier, I was a virgin when I was with you. You

know that. I've only ever been with

you.

"Those photos are the result of someone framing me. I admit one or two photos might really be me, but they're just stills from a film. You can check if you don't believe me!"

Xavier was on edge and desperate. Grabbing Winter's head, he said, "Okay, I got it. Winter, hurry!"

Smirking, Winter bent down and

worked hard to satisfy Xavier. It was

not until Xavier let out a satisfied sigh that she stood up and sat on his lap. "Xavier, no matter what, I know that this is my fault. I'm sorry."
