Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

“Keep calling Xavier!” They had all been in a rush to escape, so Winnie did not think it abnormal if they

accidentally reached an area with poor reception or switched off their phones.

In spite of this, it was strange that Xavier did not answer his phone.

“You call him!” Josiah passed his phone to Winnie.

Frowning, Winnie took the phone and asked, “What are you doing?”

“I’m going to kill someone!” Josiah opened the door and got out of the car.

Winnie could tell he was going to fight Nate, but it was too late for her to stop him.

Josiah had already grabbed hold of Nate’s collar.

“Why the f*ck did you come here instead of resting at home?” Josiah glared at Nate and punched him

in anger.

As a result, Nate stumbled a few steps back.

He tried to retaliate after steadying himself, but Josiah had already predicted his next move. In one

swift motion, Josiah pinned Nate against the car.

Nate was an actor, and the entertainment industry favored individuals who were tall, thin, and fair-

skinned. Although Nate was almost as tall as Josiah, he was skinnier than the latter.

Hence, he could hardly struggle after getting pinned against the car by a furious Josiah.

Josiah pointed at his face and gritted his teeth. “Are you in cahoots with Yulissa? Where is she now?

What the h*ll do you want?”

Nate’s mouth was already bleeding as a result of Josiah’s punch. After spitting a mouthful of blood on

the ground, he turned to regard Josiah again.

“You want to know all that, do you? Too bad for you, I’m not going to tell you,” he answered coolly.

“Nate Fraser!” Josiah was enraged. “You’re asking for it!”

Nate chuckled. “Know your place, Josiah. There are only two of you, while there are so many of us. I

have three cars and six men. The only reason you hit me just now was that I allowed you to. I was

simply going easy on you.”

“Hah!” Josiah was about to laugh. “Going easy on me? Look at how weak and puny you are! Do you

dare to fight me one-on-one? Eh? Answer my question!”

“Forget it, Josiah.” Winnie sensed that Josiah was about to blow a fuse. Thus, she rolled down the

window slowly and spoke to Josiah calmly. “Let him go today. Why waste your energy on people like

him?”

Winnie was exceptionally calm and collected, as if she was talking about the day’s weather. This

annoyed Nate immensely.

He cocked his head and stared at Winnie intently. However, when he spoke, it was to address Josiah,

“Didn’t you want me to answer your questions? Well, tell her to come out, then ask me again nicely.”

Josiah took a deep breath and adjusted his glasses. “What? I’ve never made such demands of this

woman, even when she confronts me. Even your cousin, Xavier, can’t do anything about her. Who the

h*ll do you think you are?”

“Hmph.” Nate let out a sarcastic laugh. “She’s an arrogant woman because you always let her have her

way. I won’t do the same, though.”

Winnie could not help but chuckle when she heard Nate’s reply.

Earlier, when Josiah had driven the tank to force Harold and his men to surrender their weapons,

Winnie and Josiah had picked up some guns and stored them inside the car.

Although her initial plan was to use the guns for self-defense, Winnie had a strong urge to threaten

Nate and his men with them now.

She still had a cast on her left arm, but this did not hinder her from using her other arm to unlock the

gun’s safety catch and put a finger on the trigger.

Winnie was swift in her actions. Before Nate could finish his piece, she already had the barrel of the

gun pressed against his temple.

Eyeing Nate with a frown, she chuckled coldly and said, “You were wrong, so allow me to correct you.

I’m not arrogant because other people let me have my way.”

“So?” Nate attempted to turn his head to look at Winnie. “Are you going to kill me here? If so, then

you’re no different from other murderers. You’ve got nothing to be proud of. You’re just an animal who

takes another person’s life on a whim.”

“Huh?” Winnie paused. “Nate, I never expected you to have such awareness. In that case, do you

know what Yulissa has done?” She continued, “If I’m an animal, then she’s even worse than one. And

what does this make you, when you’re the one helping her? If you still had a shred of moral

conscience, you wouldn’t have come all the way here to block our way and mess with us like a fool.”

Winnie paused briefly, then said, “You know what, Nate? You were right. I won’t kill you if you don’t

pose a threat to Josiah and me because I’m not an animal as you say. There’s still a bandage around

your neck. I bet you still remember where that incision on your neck came from. It was made when I

performed surgery on you to save your life.

“Back then, I knew you regarded me as your enemy, and you might not appreciate my efforts to save

you. Yet, I didn’t harm you, and neither did I leave you for dead. However, take a good look at my arm

now. It’s fractured. Your beloved Yulissa hung me up and broke my arm with a bat while I was still

conscious.

“If you still have a shred of moral conscience within you, you should know who deserves to be helped

and who doesn’t. Wake up, Nate!”

Nate stole a glance at Winnie’s arm and frowned. “Why did Yulissa hang you up and break your arm?”

“Okay, fine. I get it now. You can’t be reasoned with after all, for you only have Yulissa in your heart.

She’s your guiding principle.” Winnie pulled the gun away from Nate’s temple and regarded Josiah.

She ordered, “Get him in the car. With him inside, I bet the other cars won’t get in the way and stop us.

Since he doesn’t want to answer me, I’m not going to force him. Let’s go.”

“All right! As you wish.” Then, Josiah grabbed Nate and shoved him inside the car.

Winnie pointed the gun at Nate. “Don’t try to pull a fast one. I have no intention of hurting you, but if you

try to do anything funny, I’ll shoot you instinctively. Got it?”

“Stop wasting your time on him!” Josiah started the car. “Just hit him if he tries to even move. As long

as he doesn’t die, I’ll treat him.”

As expected, with Nate as their hostage, the three cars in front of Winnie and Josiah dared not make a

move.

After that, Winnie shot the tires of the three cars when Josiah’s car passed by them to ensure they

would not be followed.

Upon seeing that, Nate scoffed, “You’re such a cunning and manipulative woman.”

Winnie retorted, “I’m just a regular woman, unlike your dear Yulissa. Still, I’m curious. Why did she tell

you to block our way? So that she can take my place and run off with Xavier? If that’s the case, who

are you to her, then? Just a tool that can be discarded at any time?”

Winnie’s words struck a nerve with Nate. Am I really just a tool that can be discarded by Yulissa at any

time?

After receiving Yulissa’s phone call a week ago, he had utilized all his resources to find out about the

private helicopters that would be dispatched by the Fairchild family.

Once he had discovered the itinerary, he had even traveled to this wretched place to see her. Although

Yulissa had slept with him, Nate did not feel that she loved him in return.

She had also promised him that she would return home with him after locating Riley. Then, they would

change their names and live a normal life.

However, something else did not add up. If Yulissa only wants to take Professor White home, why does

she want me to harass Winnie? Why wouldn’t she let me accompany her to look for her grandfather?

Could she still be fantasizing about getting back together with Xavier?

Nate began to contemplate his situation, feeling confused and anxious.

Suddenly, he looked at Winnie and asked, “How do you women behave if you love a man? Will you use

him? Will you sound dismissive when you talk to him?”

Winnie narrowed her eyes. Apparently, her earlier words had hit him hard.

However, when she was about to respond, her phone rang.

Xavier had finally called back.

Winnie could only use one arm at the moment, so she turned on the phone’s loudspeaker.

As soon as the call was connected, she said, “Listen to me, Xavier. We met Nate on the way. I think our

location has already been compromised. He’s working with Yulissa, so you must be careful. Hey,

Xavier, say something!”

To Winnie’s surprise, Yulissa’s voice sounded from the other end of the line. “Hi, how have you been,

Winnie?”

“It’s you!” A crease formed between Winnie’s eyebrows immediately. “Where are Xavier and the rest?”

Yulissa chuckled. “Why should I tell you?”
