Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Firstly, it was because the woman could still be of use to him.

Secondly, she had taken Winnie’s badge, and Xavier had to retrieve it.

“Okay, let’s return. I intend to drive you back anyway. I’m your driver for today,” Josiah

babbled. He then added, “Take it that I’m begging you. Quickly settle that branch family of

yours. I’ll truly die of fatigue if you continue pretending to be dead.”

Xavier scowled. “You don’t have to urge me.”

I also hope to “rise from the dead” soon. I still need to collect some debts from Dumbo.

These emotional debts are very complicated. I’m afraid they can’t get settled within a

year and a half. I can’t possibly sneak around like this for that long!

Thus, before Winnie could walk over, the suspicious black car that Nancy mentioned left

the scene.

The black car sped off and was also far away from Winnie. Therefore, she couldn’t see the

license plate clearly.

On the other hand, Josiah caught a glimpse of the woman’s silhouette in the rearview

mirror.

He couldn’t help but exclaim, “Fortunately, we left earlier. If not, she would have come

over and caught you on the spot.”

As the car disappeared from her sight, Winnie couldn’t refrain from furrowing her brows.

“D*mn!” she cursed under her breath.

I can’t believe that car just left like that!

Just as she was trying to come up with a solution, she received a phone call

instantaneously.

Winnie immediately answered the phone. “What’s the matter, Nathaniel?”

Nathaniel responded on the other end, “Vinnie, my dear. Between the report about the

progress and a predicament, which of the two do you want to hear first?”

“Tell me about the progress first,” Winnie answered. “I prefer handling a predicament at

the end.”

“All right, miss. The latest progress is that we’ll be able to conclude the matter in at most

two weeks. By then, Garland Group will belong to us.”

“Okay. You didn’t lay a hand on the travel and the logistics companies, did you?” Winnie

wanted confirmation from Nathaniel again.

She would never want anything that had any connections to drugs.

“Don’t worry!” Nathaniel chuckled. “I’ll absolutely not touch that if you forbid me.”

“What’s the predicament you mentioned before?” Winnie inquired.

Nathaniel answered, “It’s the other ten percent of the shares, aside from the shares that

Hamish and the Garland Group’s minority shareholders possess.”

“Oh. Are you talking about the ten percent shares that belong to Hamish’s wife, Yara?”

Winnie questioned.

“Oh, sweetie. You do know everything. From your tone, it doesn’t seem to be a

predicament to you. Nonetheless, that woman is truly hard to handle. She wouldn’t fall

into whatever trap we set for her,” Nathaniel replied.

“That’s for sure.” Winnie chortled disdainfully. “She only knows how to seize others’

properties and never use her possessions to invest. Since she doesn’t invest, she naturally

wouldn’t walk into our trap. Nevertheless, it’s not an issue for me. You can leave it to me.”

“All right, I’ll wait for your good news then. Anyway, do you want to have lunch together?”

Nathaniel suggested.

“I’ll pass. I still have my elderly at home waiting for me, so I’ve to go back,” Winnie

declined.

“No problem. After we seize Garland Group, we should hold a celebration at the

company’s staff cafeteria. I heard that the food there is pretty decent.”

“Sure,” the woman agreed.

“Really? Oh, babe.” Nathaniel became thrilled. “Is that a sign that I would be able to see

your true appearance soon?”

“Of course!” Winnie exclaimed.

When the time comes, I’ll officially seize Garland Group before everyone’s eyes and let

Hamish have a taste of what it would be like to have his family destroyed and face

bankruptcy caused by his closest kin.

Meanwhile, at Aqua Moana, Josiah had already given Yulissa an injection and was now

packing his medical kit.

They were the only ones in the room since Xavier didn’t enter the room from the start.

Therefore, Yulissa tried to get more details from Josiah. “Oh, right. Where did you and

Xavier go previously? I thought it was inconvenient for him to go out at the moment?”

Josiah paused whatever he was doing and shot Yulissa a glance. “You can ask him

personally. He’ll tell you if he’s willing to. Otherwise, I’ll not say anything if he’s reluctant

to share with you.”

Yulissa was stumped for words and could only grin resignedly. “Can I trouble you to call

him in when you leave? I’ve some important matters to tell him. As you can see, it’s very

inconvenient for me to go out too.”

To overcome her drug addiction, Yulissa requested Josiah to bind her limbs together

despite having received the injection.

Josiah nodded. “Okay. Just a moment.”

With that, he carried his medical kit and walked out of the room.

A few minutes later, Xavier expectedly entered the room in a wheelchair.

Xavier couldn’t bother to put on a pleasant facade when facing Yulissa. “What do you want

to say to me?”

Yulissa’s brows knitted together slightly. She stared at the man as she spoke almost

inaudibly. “Do you have to stay so far away from me? I barely have the strength to speak.

Can you even hear me properly from this distance?”

Xavier’s frown grew deeper.

The man then turned around and wheeled himself out wordlessly.
