Silly Bride Chapter 157


    Chapter 157


    The fragrance wafting off Winnie was too sweet and enticing that Xavier was entirely hooked.“Why


    don’t we… push the press conference back?” he coaxed in a deep voice.Winnie was promptly


    dumbfounded. Bending her knee, she mmed it into the man’s stomach. Although she didn’t put


    much strength into it, she definitely wasn’t ying around either.“You must have gone mad! A little


    poison turned you into a man who thinks with his lower body!”The mere thought of it had her seeing


    red. If he were to behave thus in the past, she would have long since kicked him away.But presently,


    after having experienced so much together, she was suddenly a tad reluctant to do so. After all, hurting


    the man brought her distress.Even when she kicked him just now, she barely put any strength into


    it.Xavier evidently never expected her to treat him in such a manner. Immediately, the zing fire in his


    eyes died out by half.At the same time, a shudder ran through him. If her knee had hit me a little


    lower…“Do you know what you’re doing, Dumbo? Hmm?” Xavier hissed through gritted teeth.“What?


    Lighting your fire? Do you want to say that I’m responsible for extinguishing the fire I lit?” Winnie


    huffed.“D*mn it! Do you know you almost maimed your husband?” Xavier frowned, appearing savage


    and menacing. However, he didn’t do anything further.Winnie shook her head defiantly. “Nope. I only


    know that I’ll be maiming you for real if you dare mess up the press conference.”At her provocation,


    Xavier wore an expression of disbelief. “Dumbo! Don’t you think you’re being too arrogant?”Pushing


    him away, Winnie straightened her slightly disheveled hair before the mirror. “Hah! There was


    something I kept hidden from you in the past, but it’s toote to tell you now, even though I want


    to.”“What is it?” Xavier, who had been pushed away, leaned against the wall with his arms crossed. He


    wore a devilish smile on his face. “Do you want to tell me that you love me irrevocably? You can still


    voice it out now. It’s not toote.”When Winnie heard that, her eyes went wide in the mirror, and she


    snapped her head up in astonishment.Love him irrevocably? How exaggerated!She was a tad


    speechless. “Haha, you think too highly of yourself. What I want to say is, it’s a pity that you’ve now lost


    your memories and forgot that you once had a broken leg.”At the mention of the memories hecked,


    Xavier’s brows creased. “What? I once had a broken leg, you said?”Winnie shed him a grin. “Yes.


    But that’s not the point.”“Oh?” Xavier’s expression darkened. Never mind that I don’t remember that


    having happened, but even if it’s true, why is she smiling so widely?Sheer chagrin swamped him, and


    he grew utterly disgruntled.“Get to the point, then!”“The point is…” Winnie deliberately created


    suspense.Stepping up to him with wet hands, she wiped them repeatedly on his dry shirt.Xavier didn’t


    bother stopping her even until the water droplet on her hands were all dried.Withdrawing her hands,


    Winnie tugged on his necktie and brought his head down to her level. Then, she arrogantly whispered


    into his ear, “The point is… it was actually me who broke your leg.”Xavier narrowed his eyes a fraction.


    “You don’t quite look as though you’re joking.”Chortling, Winnie dropped her hold on him. “What do you


    think?”After saying that, she opened the door and walked out. A few stepster, she added, “Keep


    up!”Xavier lowered his head and nced at the distinct palmprints on his waist. He chuckled


    soundlessly.Soon, however, the smile on his face disappeared. He instinctively touched his left leg. My


    calf indeed throbs sometimes. Could it be that it was really broken once?At the press conference,


    Fairchild Corporation should have been the star of the day.Right then, however, the journalists present


    had obviously shifted the focus of the interview to Winnie’s segment thereafter.In truth, they had


    already started formting their questions since they received news from Louis that Winnie’s question-


    and-answer segment had been changed to a live broadcast.They had also cut back many of the


    mediocre questions they prepared for Fairchild Corporation, all geared up as they waited to “make life


    difficult” for Winnie.Sure enough, after Winnie gave her first response, a reporter with malice written all


    over his face rushed to fire off his question.“Ms. Gand, you im that your arrest at the airport was


    merely a misunderstanding, but from the photos that leaked out, the police did find drugs in your


    briefcase. ording to your statement, Dr. Houghton was the one who requested that you send them


    abroad for medical research purposes, so it was an exceedingly important matter. Since it’s such a


    crucial matter, why didn’t you make preparations in advance and get all the documents in order? I


    believe that you wouldn’t make such a rookie mistake when you’re so meticulous and intelligent. In light


    of that, can the public assume that Dr. Houghton is merely an excuse of yours and that you employed


    certain tricks in hopes of fooling the police?”That question was incredibly caustic, not allowing one the


    slightest retreat.As Josiah stood and listened at the side, he couldn’t help breaking into a cold sweat onAll content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Winnie’s behalf when he heard that question.Xavier’s brows knitted together, and even Louis was


    prepared to “escort” the journalist out anytime.However, Winnie merely smiled. Her adaptability was


    remarkably strong.Not only did she give an impable answer, but she even ced the ball into the


    journalist’s court.Besides, she was also directing her words to a certain someone.“Naturally, I prepared


    all the documents in advance. I also never thought of fooling the police. But I was in the open while


    someone else was working in the dark. He wished to stab me in the back, catching me off guard. You


    mightugh at me when I say this, but I’m the kind of person who values my life over all else. Under the


    circumstances at that time, I was utterly afraid that someone would rush out and plunge a knife into me.


    It went without saying that following the police back to the police station was the safest course of action


    for me in such a situation. I handed the rest to mywyer, for he’s more well-versed in the legality of the


    situation. I don’t think there was any problem with me doing so. As I said, if I really did something


    wrong, thew would have brought me to justice. What was more, the police wouldn’t have released


    me. The fact that I’m doing a live broadcast here in front of the whole world makes it clear that I’m


    innocent. Instead of questioning me here, you’d be better served to dig deeper into the person who


    reported me. Perhaps you’ll find an unexpected scandal about him. Who knows, he might have been


    hiding at the airport then, waiting to witness my arrest. There are many peopleing and going from


    the airport, so he might have been identally captured in the photos that leaked out.”As she spoke,


    she stared right into the camera all of a sudden.She wore a faint smile on her face, but her eyes


    radiated a sense of chilling iciness.“To the clown hiding in the dark, I know you’re watching my live


    broadcast. I’m picking up the gauntlet you threw down. If you’ve got guts,e at me in the


    open.”Meanwhile, in a mansion under the same sky, a young man furiously threw his phone at the


    wall.“How dare you say I’m a clown and even insinuate that I’ve got no balls? Just you wait, Winnie


    Gand!”
