Silly Bride Chapter 82
Chapter 82
The next instant, her eyes popped wide open.My God, who took those pictures? One can easily tell
that the two pictures have been doctored at first nce.In her photo, she smiled so stupidly that she
looked exactly like a retard. It was obviously Hamish and Yara’s attempt to humiliate her.On the
contrary, Xavier looked dashing in his photo, as if it had been meticulously edited that way. In fact, their
photos looked as if they were at two ends of a spectrum.It was one thing to have such an ugly photo. It
had even been shown to many strangers.Truth be told, no woman on earth could tolerate her ugly
photo being exhibited in public, especially when being contrasted with a beautiful one.Driven by her
displeasure, Winnie confiscated Xavier’s phone.Not pretending any longer, she shifted her gaze over to
Xavier. “What are you dilly-dallying for? Are you going to deal with them or not? If you can’t, I’ll take
over.”The sudden change in her tone caught Xavier off guard.Nevertheless, a smile quickly broke out
on his face. “Hmm? You dropped the act?”Cocking her brow, Winnie threw the question back at him.
“Why? Do you enjoy watching me behave like a fool?”Stumped by her words, Xavier held her hand
when she walked past him and repeatedly stroked it.Winnie allowed him to hold it for a few seconds
before pulling it back.After that, she kneeled beside Hayden, who was lying on the ground as part of his
charade.“Have you seen me before?” she asked.Hayden was taken aback. Isn’t she a retard? Why
doesn’t she behave like one at all?Although he had no idea why she was wearing the clothes he
bought for the retarded bride back then, he still expected her to be a fool.What the hell is going on? ”N-
No, I have not.”“Hah, isn’t that the end of it?” Winnie was amused. “Listen, everyone, this man has
dered he has never seen me before. Hence, it’s clear he’s trying to stage a scam today.”Winnie had
hardly spoken when Hayden felt like pping himself for saying the wrong thing.“Don’t think I’m
oblivious to the ill intentions that you harbor,” uttered Winnie. “Let me just be honest with you. My
husband is extremely rich, but he would rather set his money on fire than give any of it to you. For
helping someone as despicable as Hayden to ckmail us, all of you are nothing but scum. By the
way, Hayden, we’ve taken away the retarded woman you bought. Her father and brother have collected
enough evidence to put you behind bars forever. At least you’ll have free food in prison. Also, it’sFrom N?velDrama.Org.
certainly morefortable than you lying here trying to ckmail us.”She continued, “As for the rest of
you here, let me give you a piece of advice. You either choose not to poach or hide whatever you
poach better. Do you really think we’re all blind? I have visited the Briggs residence, and guess what I
saw in his yard? Leopard sharks and white dolphins. Given that you depend on the sea for your
livelihood, don’t you know what those are? Leopard sharks are a level two protected species in the
country, while white dolphins are level one. Don’t you dare tell me you don’t have them in your home.
All I need to do is make a call, and all of you will be investigated.”Here, she added, “I’m sure you’re well
aware of thews and punishments rted to endangered species. Illegal hunting, killing, and
trafficking of endangered wildlife are punishable by at least ten years of prison on top of having all your
assets confiscated. I bet no one here is willing to spend ten years in jail on Hayden’s behalf. If I were
you, I would leave this ce right away with my lips sealed. After that, I would clean out my house and
stay away from anyone as despicable as Hayden. Otherwise, all he brings to your family is death and
poverty.” Winnie’s eloquence—especially when she brought up thews and punishments rted to
endangered species—caused many of the inders to panic. After all, the majority of them were guilty
of poaching, and obviously, no one was willing to go to prison.It’s all Hayden’s fault for lying to us about
seeking justice when he was actually looking to extort money. And now, the opposing party could not
only show a marriage certificate but also list out thews we have broken on top of buying the mansion
outright.At that moment, the tide turned swiftly as everyone began to deride Hayden and ostracize him.
In fact, there were even some who cut ties with him on the spot.With that, the entire drama finally
ended.Staring at his “retarded” wife, Xavier was unable to peel his eyes away.So that’s what she’s
really like.Even the driver was stunned to see thedy of the house no longer behaving like a fool. In
contrast to before, she was now smart, aggressive, and easily stood out from the crowd.Sensitive to
the situation, the driver quickly disappeared now that the matter was over.It was not until the two of
them were the only ones left in the living room that Xavier moved his wheelchair up to Winnie.After a
long silence, he was the first to speak.“Dumbo.” He looked at her intently. “Don’t you owe me an
exnation?”Winnie’s glistening eyes met his gaze fearlessly. “What’s there to exin? Why should I
exin to you?”A slight frown descended on Xavier’s face. “You lied to me. You’re not a retard at
all.”Winnieughed. “So what? From the very beginning, your family lied to me when they said you
were a vegetable. In the end, you woke up the second night after our wedding. What’s wrong,
Handsome? Are you the only one allowed to lie to me and not I to you?”She called me “Handsome”
again, and she’s not even pretending anymore. All of a sudden, his heart began to race.When she
pretended to be a fool, I was filled with an uncontroble urge to protect her and a terrifying sense of
possessiveness. Now that she isn’t, she has be beautiful and confident. It’s as if she exudes an
intoxicating charm that draws me closer to her.“Winnie.” Xavier could not help but hold her hands, his
voice raspy. “Why did you pretend to be a fool?”Winnie did not resist his advances. “What else can it be
other than for the mess with the Gand family?”“The Gand family is nothing to me. Whatever you
want to do, I’ll help you do it.”Winnie shook her head. “That wouldn’t be fun. Anyway, what other
questions do you have? I’ll answer all of them to clear things up.”“All right.” After giving it some thought,
he asked earnestly, “You’re Paulina, aren’t you? When I spoke to thedy on the fishing boat, you
heard everything, didn’t you?”“Mmhmm.” Winnie nodded, causing the man to furrow his brows.Her
response is just too cold. How can she still stay so calm?“Those words were truly from the bottom of
my heart. I didn’t neglect you on purpose. I just assumed that you were lost for real. During that time, I
made up my mind. So what if you’re a retard? And so what if I’ve fallen for you? No one can stop me
when I really want you to be mine.”Winnie continued to nod.Unfortunately, herckluster response
caused Xavier’s heart to sink.“What does this mean? Do you not believe me?”
