Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

The parcel was a cardboard box, nothing extraordinary, and it was stuffed with foam

peanuts.

After going through the package for a while, the housekeeper found a plastic bag that was

as large as a child’s palm.

“Mr. Fairchild, this is the only thing found in the box.” The housekeeper then passed the

plastic bag to Zyon.

After taking over the item and glancing at it, Zyon froze for a moment. He immediately

asked, “Where’s the deliveryman?”

“He left…” the housekeeper answered sheepishly. Zyon’s agitated reaction made her feel

she had done something wrong.

“What are you waiting for? Go and get him right now!”

He wanted to get the deliveryman because the plastic bag contained one of the beads of

the bracelet he had been hunting for.

The bead, stained with soil, was carved with the letter “W.” It must be the bracelet Winnie

lost when she was shoved down the mountain. But who? Who delivered this bracelet to

me?

While all sorts of questions raced through Zyon’s mind when the housekeeper left, the

landline phone on his coffee table started ringing.

The landline phone in his house was nothing more than a decoration as people rarely

called the number. Yet, at that moment, the phone rang unexpectedly.

Zyon could not help but feel eerie.

After a short hesitation, he picked up the call. “Who are you? Are you the one who sent me

the parcel?”

“That’s right, Mr. Fairchild. You’re a smart man.” An indifferent voice emerged from the

other end of the phone.

Clearly, the person’s voice was altered through a voice changer. Zyon knitted his brows.

“Who on earth are you? Tell me your name!”

The person responded with a mirthless laugh. “You don’t have to worry about my identity.

The important thing is, I’ve delivered something useful to you. You have a great future

ahead, but you’re involved in too many homicides. You wouldn’t want to risk putting your

future at stake all because of a stupid woman, right?”

“Who are you? How do you know all these?” Zyon exclaimed.

“Listen carefully, Zyon Fairchild. Think of a way to place the bead near where Kylie is.

Once the cops notice she has the bead, they’ll identify her as the main suspect of the

murder. When that happens, you’ll be able to clear your name.”

“Who the heck are you?” Zyon could not help but shudder.

Not only did that mysterious person know Zyon’s every move, but he also seemed to know

what was on the latter’s mind.

Feeling insecure, Zyon vowed to find out the person’s identity.

Yet, the caller hung up on him after making those remarks.

Zyon put down the phone and ordered his men to investigate the number, but they soon

found out it was a fake online number. Even the deliveryman had vanished off the face of

the earth.

Meanwhile, at the condominium at Aqua Moana, Winnie deleted the fake online number

after ending the call with Zyon.

She believed Zyon and Yulissa would frame Kylie as the scapegoat.

Winnie did not do this to help Zyon and Yulissa devise an escape plan. She was merely

cooperating with Narcotics Enforcement Department to set up a bigger trap.

On the other hand, Kylie was not all innocent either because she had attempted murder

and employed someone to carjack a vehicle. Hence, she deserved to be caught by the

cops.

Soon, the cops found traces of evidence that proved Winnie was shoved down the

mountain at the back of the Fairchild residence.

Thanks to the evidence, the footage of Winnie roaming around the Fairchild residence and

leaving the residence in a car was disregarded.

Nonetheless, the cops spotted a woman who bore an uncanny resemblance to Winne in

the video. That prompted them to carry out investigations on the suspicious figure.

From the footage, the cops noticed the woman was wearing a pair of limited-edition shoes.

Anyone who purchased the limited edition would need to have their names registered, so

the cops reached out to the store and found out that the buyer was Kylie.

The truth was finally revealed.

On the night of the incident, Kylie murdered Winnie and pushed her down the mountain.

She then put on an oversized coat and a cap to pretend to be Winnie and later faked her

disappearance.

Moreover, the cops had also found a bead from Winnie’s bracelet in Kylie’s closet. There

was no way she could deny all the evidence.

Kylie knew the cops were coming after her and would press charges against her, and she

would eventually be put behind bars.

The first thought that crossed her mind was to escape from Avenport and leave Chanaea.

There was nothing the authorities could do with her once she fled the country.

Yet, her biological father, Hamish, stopped her from leaving because he had struck a deal

with Zyon and agreed to make her daughter a scapegoat. “Kylie, listen to me. Turn

yourself in and explain everything to the cops. Since Winnie is not dead, you’ll only be

charged with attempted murder. Besides, you’ll also get to plead for a lower sentence, and

I’m sure the judge will reduce your jail time.”

“The lawyer I spoke to said you’ll at most serve two to three years in jail. If you’re well-

behaved, I might be able to pull some strings and get you out in a year,” he explained

further.
