Silly Bride Chapter 97
Chapter 97
Winnie decided to strike while the iron was hot.Yara had forced her biological mother into a mental
institution years ago.Winnie hardly thought it was fair for the woman to suffer such a minor setback for
her misdeeds in the past.To that end, Winnie hired someone to follow Yara and consequently knew her
stepmother’s whereabouts like the back of her hand.She learned that Yara had gone to the hospital
after her huge fight with Hamish.After leaving the hospital, Yara drank her weight in liquor at a bar, and
she ended up booking the services of a driver to send her home.Said driver happened to be dispatched
by Winnie.Based on Winnie’s instructions, the driver bundled Yara into the passenger seat and drove
the car into a secluded alley.Winnie hid in the backseat throughout the whole process.She had dressed
up as a female ghost, replete with ghastly makeup, a long ck wig, and a billowing white dress.As the
driver pulled into a secluded alley, Winnie slowly emerged from her hiding spot.Quietly, she rested her
pale face on the passenger seat and yed a pre-recorded audio tape.An eerie voice filled the air,
calling out Yara’s name over and over again.Yara had not drunk herself into oblivion and was still
slightly conscious.When she heard someone calling her name, she groggily turned around to face the
backseat.She immediately saw a ghastly face behind her. The dark, secluded alley and the dim light in
the car merely added to the eeriness of the situation.Winnie’s prop eyes rolled down her face and fell
right into Yara’sp.Yara was so frightened that her heart skipped a beat. It felt as though her soul had
left her body.She went berserk and shrieked, “Ahh! Ghost! There’s a ghost!”Then, Yara tugged on the
driver’s elbow and pleaded, “Stop the car! Please! Stop the car!”The driver opened his mouth, and to
Yara’s shock, his tongue fell out.Yara was petrified. After staring wide-eyed at the scene before her for
a good second, she opened the car door and leaped out.The car was driving so slowly that Yara did not
sustain any major injuries. However, fear had taken all the strength out of her legs.Coupled with her
drunken state, Yara failed to get to her feet and could only crawl on the ground at a snail’s pace.Winnie
alighted from the car and easily caught up to Yara.Her recording continued to y. “Yara, hurting me
wasn’t enough. You had to go after my daughter. I want your daughter dead and your family destroyed!
Then, I want you to die and rot in h*ll!”Yara could no longer move at that point. She buried her head on
the ground, her body heaving with sobs as she stammered, “Y-You’re Lorelei Gand! Please spare
me! Please! I’m begging you! I know what I did was wrong! I’m truly sorry for that!”Lorelei Gand was
Winnie’ste biological mother.She happened to share the same surname as Hamish. Winnie was only
a Gand because she followed her mother’s surname. It had nothing to do with any shred of love she
had for her despicable father.Winnie admired Yara’s cowering form as the pre-recorded audio
continued to y. “I want you to pay with your life. I want you to spend the rest of your life in living
h*ll.”Yara quite literally wet her pants from fright.If Mom can see this, I’m sure she’d be more than
satisfied.However, just as Winnie nned to torture Yara a little longer, a beam of light cut through the
darkness.A car had driven into the alley, and its driver had stuck his head out the window curiously. He
demanded loudly, “Hey! What are you doing?” Winnie frowned in frustration at the unexpected early
end to her little ploy.s, she had no choice but to keep her phone and dart into a nearby alley.She
had no idea if that night’s incident was enough to turn Yara mad, but she could only hope.After all, Yara
was the one who had turned Lorelei mad in the first ce.Winnie had racked her brains for ideas, yet
she could not think of a better way to exact revenge than to give Yara a taste of her own medicine.She
plucked off her wig and strode away, huffing with annoyance.Suddenly, her phone rang with a call from
Xavier.Winnie answered the phone. “What?”Xavier took note of her cold tone and asked solemnly,
“What happened? Where are you?”Taking a deep breath, Winnie leaned against the wall and drawled,
“Nothing much. I just remembered some unhappy memories from my past. I feel trapped. Plus, I was
interrupted halfway through my ns. That’s why I’m not in the best mood.”“What ns?” asked
Xavier.“Oh, nothing. I just wanted to teach someone a lesson, but a stranger cut my lesson short.”As
Winnie spoke, her ears suddenly twitched. She furrowed her brows, recognizing the sound of footsteps
behind her.For some reason, she had a bad feeling that the person wasing for her.Winnie promptly
held her breath, and Xavier immediately sensed her tension through the phone.Anxiously, he asked,
“What’s wrong, Winnie? What happened? Talk to me!”Winnie nced at the shadow on the ground that
was rapidly approaching her. Lowering her voice, she whispered, “Someone’s following me.”The words
had barely left her mouth when a hand mped down on her shoulder.Winnie’s heart jumped to her
throat. Time seemed to freeze at that moment.She stuffed her phone into her pocket and gripped the? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
hand on her shoulder, prepared to flip her stalker over in a shoulder throw.Unfortunately, the mysterious
stalker was much taller than her and stable on his feet. Winnie was hardly his match at all. Instead, he
spun her around and pinned her against the wall by her wrists.Winnie groaned in pain as her back
collided with the wall.She had not hung up on her call with Xavier, and themotion drifted over the
receiver to his ears.Xavier, who was extremely worried, shouted frantically, “Winnie! Winnie Gand!
What happened to you? Answer me!”Winnie heard Xavier’s cries, and so did the man who was pinning
her against the wall.Or rather, he heard the name that Xavier called out.“Winnie Gand?” The
mysterious man immediately released her and asked, “Why are you here?”After breaking free from his
grasp, Winnie turned around and finally recognized the man under the dim illumination of the street
lights.Shocked, she cried, “Christopher Bet?”“Yes. I happened to walk past this ce after getting
off work. I saw someone sprawled on the ground out there and another person appearing to harm her,
so I gave chase. I even picked up a wig on the way here. Is it yours?”“It’s mine. Are you going to take
me into the station then, Captain Bet?”“Winnie!” Xavier was scared out of his wits after learning
that Winnie had been followed.He hated that she was alone, frightened, and traumatized without his
protection.At the same time, he was surprised to learn that her stalker was Christopher.Worst of all, the
two of them began chatting after recognizing each other andpletely ignored his presence on the
other end of the line.Here he was, worried out of his mind for her safety, yet she seemed to treat him
like air.Xavier was upset at her treatment. Still, he tried to catch her attention again by calling out her
name, “Winnie! Answer me!”
