Silly Bride Chapter 91


    Chapter 91


    “Winnie is a simpleton, Grandpa. Her words arepletely untrustworthy and contradictory. Even if we


    go to court, a simpleton’s words are inadmissible as evidence.”Zyon added, trying his best to discredit


    Winnie, “You can’t be considering to believe a simpleton over your own grandson, can you,


    Grandpa?”“How is that possible?” Rufus frowned. “Do I look like I’m senile? You were the one to have


    found Winnie, Louis. Were you already in cohorts with her before you brought her back to me?”“No, Mr.


    Fairchild! I swear that we are not conspiring. Zyon did pay off the private investigator.”“All right. Bring


    the private investigator to me,” Rufus said sternly. “I wish to interrogate him myself.”“Er… He


    disappeared. I cannot contact him, but I will locate him.”“Pfft!” Zyon chortled. “You can’t produce any


    evidence, yet you’re using me. How did you be the assistant to the CEO of Fairchild


    Corporation with brains like yours? You’re not wee here. Get lost!”“Watch yourself. You will get


    what’sing one of these days. I will make a police report and have you sued!” At that, Louis turned


    around and marched out.Winnie hurried after him. “You left me behind, Louis. I came with you.”Jacinta,


    too, ran after her granddaughter.“Hah!” Zyonughed. “You see, Grandpa? The simpleton said they


    came together. They have nned to frame me from the start.”After the trio exited, only Josiah and the


    two Fairchilds remained behind in the room.Josiah’s expression turned grim.Zyon cast him a disdainful


    nce. “What is it, Dr. Houghton? Are you unhappy because my grandfather didn’t believe your


    lies?”Josiah adjusted his spectacles. “I think the simpleton is telling the truth, Mr. Fairchild.”“Enough,


    Josiah. I know you and Zyon have always been at odds, and it ends today. Never have me listen to the


    rumors you concoct against the Fairchilds again. All right, you may go. I don’t need you here


    anymore.”“Did you hear that?” Zyon was beside himself with glee. “You’re asked to leave!”“All right, I’m


    going.”Rufus frowned as soon as the door to the ward closed. “Tell me the truth, Zyon. Is what Louis


    and Winnie said true?”“Of course, it isn’t true, Grandpa! How would I know Xavier would go to sea in


    the middle of the night to look for somebody? The ims of me wanting to kill that stupid woman


    Winnie is even more ludicrous. I have no motive to do so.”“All right. Remember, you represent the


    Fairchild family now. There cannot be any taint on your reputation.”“You’ve finally acknowledged me,


    Grandpa. Don’t worry. I will not let you down.”Left forgotten in Josiah’s office, the oatmeal Winnie had


    brought became his lunch.“You yed your part well today, Mr. Tanser,” Josiah gushed as he ate. “I


    noticed the veins on your forehead bulging during your argument with Zyon. It was very


    convincing.”Rufus yed his part well, too. From the looks of it, Zyon took the bait. He probably thinks


    that Rufus would hand Fairchild Corporation in its entirety over to him.“Yes. It looks like we’ve managed


    to deceive him this time,” Louis dered. “Now, I shall bring Mrs. Fairchild to lodge a report. I must


    trouble you, Dr. Houghton, to look after Old Mr. Fairchild. I fear that Zyon will do him harm.”“Don’t


    worry, I will.”Louis lodged the report quickly, telling the authorities that Zyon conspired to murder Xavier


    and Winnie.As Xavier was nowhere to be found, it was, at that moment, impossible to conduct an


    investigation. But the reappearance of Winnie, a formerly missing person, was in ordance with the


    procedure.As a result, the people involved were quickly brought to the police station.While Zyon and


    Yulissa were very calm, Kylie was flustered and nearly uttered something she was not supposed to


    during the interrogation.As the police did not find any discrepancies in Winnie’s disappearance, there


    had hardly been any progress aside from her own testimony.Due to her condition, however, her


    testimony was unusable.In other words, unless they could produce more evidence, the case would


    otherwise not move forward.Back in her simpleton persona, Winnie appeared panicked as she watched


    Zyon and his two cohorts about to walk away scot-free.She pointed at them and said to Liam, the


    officer in charge of their case, “Arrest them! They’re the bad guys who want to kill me!”Zyon was


    unperturbed. “The police have no way of finding us guilty, dumb*ss. Save your energy.”Winnie began


    sobbing. “It’s them! They did it!”Kylie, the recipient of her half-sister’s usatory finger, wanted nothing


    more than to kill her again.This stupid b*tch not only survived tumbling down such a tall mountain, but


    she even made it back without a scratch! Even worse, she dares to lodge a police report! If only she


    knew what I was doing before being brought over by the police! I was socializing with celebrities in the


    industry. The disapproving looks they gave me are something I will never forget. It’s all the stupid


    b*tch’s fault! I wouldn’t have been embarrassed before the celebrities if she hadn’t lodged a report!


    Godd*mn Winnie!Kylie took a deep breath and pointed back at Winnie. “Don’t waste the police’s


    resources if you have no proof. Go home and y with your Peppa Pig.”Ignoring her, Winnie poutedThis content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    and shook Liam’s arm vigorously. “Arrest her.”Liam appeared helpless. “Ms. Gand is right, Mrs.


    Fairchild. You must have proof. ording to the surveince footage that night, however, you never did


    appear at the back of the mountain. You left the Fairchild residence in a car.”“I was on the mountain. I


    have proof!” Winnie leaped up suddenly and smacked her wrist. “I wore something on my hand.


    Handsome gave it to me, but it broke on the mountain when Kiki pushed me.”Everybody at the scene


    was taken aback by Winnie’s words.Zyon and Yulissa nced meaningfully at Kylie in unison, who


    quickly recalled the incident at Winnie’s new usation.During their scuffle, Kylie had indeed tugged a


    bead from Winnie’s hand, but she threw it away atop the mountain.Could that tiny bead be used as


    evidence?“I can prove the existence of that essory,” Louis quickly added as he produced his phone.


    “It was a gift Mr. Xavier had me buy for Mrs. Fairchild. Many people can attest to that. Here is a


    photograph of that jewelry.”Liam nodded. “All right. Our prior decision can be overruled if we can locate


    this item.”Kylie was stunned.Zyon knew from her reaction that Winnie was telling the truth. Hastily, he


    grabbed her arm and marched out to interrogate her outside the precinct.“What jewelry? Did you really


    break it? Tell me!”Kylie nodded. “Yes. I had a bead in my hand then, and I threw it away. It was dark at


    that time. I could not see what material it was made of. Pearl? Jade? Jasper? Or was it agate? Ruby?


    Or sapphire? I truly do not know what material it was. What do we do? Will my fingerprints be on


    it?”“Idiot!”Zyon was about to lose his temper when Winnie and the others emerged.Winnie deliberately


    stopped when she passed Kylie to smile. “You’re done for, Kiki!”
