Silly Bride Chapter 206


    Chapter 206


    At the same time, Xavier received a message on his phone.Apparently, the elerant for the fire had


    been found.Initially, he thought that the elerant would be something like gasoline, but the photo he


    received was a photo of a few empty wine bottles.The wine bottles… Xavier narrowed his eyes and


    turned toward the wine bottle on the rack. This guest room has a bottle of wine as part of its


    decoration?Winnie noticed Xavier rooted to the spot by the doorway for a long time, so she could not


    help but walk over to him.“What’s the matter?”Xavier nced at Jacinta before keeping his phone back


    in his pocket.“Nothing. I’m going to the security room to take a look. I’ll send a few security guards over,


    but you and your granny should still be on your guard. Call me right away if anything happens.”Instead


    of answering him verbally, Winnie nodded and smiled at him.Xavier furrowed his brows amidst her


    silence.“I’m talking to you. You should be careful. If there’s anything—”“If there’s anything, I should call


    you. I heard you.” Winnie was amused. “Aren’t you supposed to be a cool and aloof man of few words?


    Why have you be long-winded?”“Are you trying to say I’m annoying?” Xavier arched a brow. If not


    for the fact that others were around, he would have sealed her lips right away.Winnie knew what he


    wanted to do, but she did not want to flirt with him in front of her grandmother. Moreover, Jacinta did not


    like Xavier all that much.“To be honest, I’m tired, and I’m out of energy to talk. I’m thinking of resting.


    You should do the same. Leave your men to deal with this. Don’t overwork yourself.”“Okay.” Xavier


    nodded. Then, he raised his hand to ruffle her hair. “Rest now. Just leave me be.”Winnie nodded. “I’ll


    send you off, then.”With that, the two discreetly held hands and ambled out of the house.It was breezy


    outside, and Xavier didn’t want Winnie to catch a cold despite how he wished he could carry her all the


    way into his room.“Go in now. See you tomorrow.”As Winnie looked at the gentle and tender man under


    the warm light, she was suddenly disinclined to see him leave. That was a sensation she had never


    experienced before.When she turned around, she noticed that her grandmother was no longer behind


    her, so she dashed forward to wrap her hands around the man and bite his lower lip.“Good


    night!”Having been abruptly kissed by the woman he loved, Xavier’s eyes lit up with passion.Just as he


    was about to take a step forward and pull her into his embrace, Jacinta’s voice came from inside the


    house.“Winnie, why aren’t youing in yet?”Winnie instantly answered, “Oh, I’ming.”It was only


    then the two reluctantly parted.When Winnie entered the house and closed the door behind her, she


    noticed that Jacinta was no longer in the room. As it turned out, the elderly woman was washing


    clothes in the bathroom.Jacinta was rubbing the bloodstain on the sleeve when Winnie entered.Once


    she saw Winnie enter, she exined, “It reeks of alcohol, so I’m washing it. The wind is strong tonight,


    so if I hang it up in the corridor, you’ll be able to wear it the next morning.”“Let me help you wash it,


    Granny. You were frightened earlier today, so it’s best for you to rest earlier.”“It’s fine,” Jacinta insisted.


    “I’m almost done washing. They have a clean bathrobe in the room cab, so get a piece out and start


    washing up.”Winnie did not think much about it. By the time she brought the bathrobe and towel over,


    Jacinta was already done washing the thin long-sleeved shirt.The two of them theny down on the


    bed and began talking about how Zyon had fired a gun andmitted arson.All of a sudden, Jacinta


    asked, “I remember you installing a camera at the hot spring and even installed some kind of


    application on your phone thest time we were looking for people here. Didn’t you hack the Fairchild


    family’s surveince system too? Will your phone be able to see what the Fairchild family’s cameras


    recorded?”Winnie hummed in agreement. “Yes, but my phone broke after it went for a dip in the ocean,


    and after I changed to a new phone, I didn’t install the application again. What’s the matter, Granny?


    Why did you suddenly mention that?”“Nothing. I just think that Zyon’s too dangerous. If only we can see


    the Fairchilds’ surveince cameras. Honestly, I don’t trust the Fairchilds at all. They’re all in cahoots,


    and maybe someone will try to stir up a ruckus soon!”Jacinta still felt that the entire Fairchild family was


    unreliable.Winnie let out a wry chuckle when she heard that.“Granny, I think you’re overthinking this.


    Zyon can barely keep himself safe now. If he wants to be in league with the people in this house, he’ll


    have to fork out something in return for it. But he doesn’t have anything now, so who will do anything


    for him? Moreover, not only did he hurt Old Mr. Fairchild’s grandson, but he even wanted to burn Old


    Mr. Fairchild and the rest of the people in the Fairchild residence alive. Things are already so bad


    between him and the others. Moreover, the people in this house aren’t stupid. Even if someone did


    secretly help him out earlier, they’re either pretending to know nothing about it now or getting ready to


    flee. How can they possibly continue causing trouble?”Jacinta mulled over her words for a while.“I think


    you’re right. I just want to know whether or not Zyon has been caught… Why don’t you ask Xavier


    about it?”Winnie was confused by Jacinta’s question.“Granny, why are you so concerned about this


    matter? Though, I doubt they’ve found him. If they’d found him, Xavier would have told me about it. By


    the way, I installed the application on your phone the other time too, but I forgot to remove itter on. If


    you log in again, you’ll be able to watch the surveince footage in real-time.”“What? The one on my


    phone?” Jacinta scoured through her memories. “I’ve long deleted it. I didn’t know something like this


    would happen.”Winnie solemnlymented. “Oh, that’s good too. Frankly, it’s illegal for us to watch


    someone else’s surveince cameras. Deleting it is a good choice. At least we’ll be in less trouble. But


    if my memory serves me right, the house we’re in is facing east. The surveince cameras there are


    older and have note with infrared rays. If it’s too dark at night, I’m afraid the cameras won’t be able


    to get a clear record of the people.”If Zyon had gone through the house eastward earlier, the


    surveince cameras might not have captured him. However, he might not have been aware of that.


    After all, not even Xavier noticed such details. “I see.” Jacinta let out a sigh of relief in the dark. “Xavier


    still has no news of him, so it looks like Zyon has coincidentally gone east.”Winnie knitted her brows. “I


    hope he doesn’t have such good luck.”“Well, let’s forget about him and get our good night’s sleep.


    Everything will be fine as long as he doesn’te back here.” Jacinta turned and yawned. “I’m so


    sleepy.”“Sleep, then.”Two hourster, Winnie fell deeply asleep.Unbeknownst to her, while she was


    sound asleep, Jacinta abruptly sat upright and turned on her phone to delete a surveince camera


    application.She had been studying the Fairchild family’s surveince system for a long time, and she


    knew the exact locations in the residence that the cameras would not be able to get a clear record of at


    night.The next morning, Xavier personally sent Winnie and Jacinta back.They sat in a limousine.


    Winnie and Jacinta took the seats in the first row at the back.Xavier sat in the second row, diagonally


    opposite them.Right opposite them was Josiah, who hade to hitch a ride after being summoned


    over to give Rufus a body checkup the night before.With four people in the same vehicle, especially


    with the chatty Josiah around, the atmosphere in the car was quite lively.Of course, they ended up


    talking about Zyon as well.Josiah wistfully said, “I can’t believe he managed to escape despite the huge


    commotion. I have to say, your residence’s surveince cameras are disappointing!”“It’s time to change


    them,” Xavier noted with a frown. “I’m nning to change everything during the


    reparation.”“Fortunately, no one died.” Josiah then ruminated about it before voicing his suspicion. “Is


    there a mole in the house? How did he enter? He shot Nate first. Then, he went to start a fire. Don’t


    you think the gap between those two events is too short? Moreover, they found empty wine bottles at


    the scene. Clearly, he used it for the fire. Is it possible he already had the bottles with him when he shot


    Nate? Then how did he manage to take the bottles with him while he was sprinting? Unless someone


    has been helping him. Otherwise, this makes no sense.”Xavier had the same analysis as Josiah the


    night before.However, he had note to a conclusion yet.He drew his brows together and did not


    answer Josiah, but his eyes were fixed on Jacinta.When Josiah noticed Xavier ignoring him, he turned


    to ask Winnie, “Ms. Gand, you’re a smartdy. What do you think?”“I thought he was the only one


    involved, but after hearing what you’ve said, I realized someone must be helping him too. The one who


    fired the gun and the one who set the fire should be two different people. Moreover, Zyon must have


    escaped the scene with the other culprit’s help. I saw the surveince footagest night, and the one


    who started the fire was someone else. Nevertheless, the person’s far too familiar with the Fairchild


    family’s surveince cameras. They seem to know every single blind spot in the house. This makes it


    hard for us to find any clues that will lead us to their identity. Now, the only thing we can do is find out


    whether or not that person can be patient enough. If they’re not patient enough, they might end up


    revealing themself soon.”“So you’re saying that… they’ll flee?” Josiah adjusted his sses.“Mhm.”


    Winnie nodded. “If someone suddenly resigns or applies for a long leave, they’re suspicious.”“That’s


    right. I agree with you.” Josiah nodded.Right then, Xavier abruptly asked, “What if the person isn’t part


    of the Fairchild family?”As he voiced his question, his eyes were fixed on Jacinta.Josiah’s brows


    snapped together. “Are you suspecting the involvement of the Frasers? No outsiders came to your


    housest night, right?”“What do you mean by no outsiders came?” Xavier was still staring at Jacinta.


    “Someone came to deliver fresh fruits and vegetables, and someone came to deliver the milk. They all


    had the chance to enter the house, hadn’t they?”“That’ll be tough to look into, then. There were plenty


    of people who came and went.”“Yes. They might have left the area we’re investigatingst night or


    even this morning. Maybe they’re running now as we speak.”Xavier paused as soon as he finished hisMaterial ? N?velDrama.Org.


    sentence.He then asked Jacinta, “What do you think about that, Granny?”The one who reacted first to


    his question was Winnie, who gave him a confounded look.Although she did not say anything, the look


    she gave him was more than enough to tell him what she was thinking.She was unhappy with his


    question, for he sounded like he was suspicious of her grandmother.Xavier and Jacinta were already


    on bad terms, and the former’s question was going to make things worse. Jacinta wouldn’t be able to


    stand him if he were to use her of arson.Yet, to Winnie’s surprise, Jacinta was unfazed by his


    question.Perplexed, Winnie leaned over to nce at her grandmother.It was then she realized her


    grandmother was asleep—her eyes were closed.“Granny? Granny,” Winnie quietly called out, but


    Jacinta waspletely unresponsive. It was apparent that she was fast asleep.Subsequently, Winnie


    lowered her voice and questioned Xavier, “What were you trying to do? Are you suspecting my granny?


    She abhors Zyon, so how can she possibly help him? Moreover, it’s impossible that she’d even contact


    Zyon. It was a spontaneous decision to go to the Fairchild residence yesterday. If anything, you should


    be suspecting the one who delivered the milk!”Xavier’s brows creased. Honestly, the apology was


    already at the tip of his tongue, but still, he swallowed it.He was indeed suspecting Jacinta, but before


    he had the evidence to prove his suspicion, he was not going to tell Winnie about it.That was because


    he did not want his suspicions to affect their rtionship.Therefore, he lied without batting ash, “No,


    I’m not suspecting her. Granny looks asleep, but I’m not sure if she’s really out, so I asked her for her


    opinion.”As he spoke, he picked up a nket from the seat beside his and passed it to Winnie. “You


    should drape this over her.”Winnie’s jaw dropped a little as embarrassment washed over her. It looks


    like I’ve jumped to conclusions.After reaching out for the nket, she cleared her throat and said,


    “Sorry for my harsh tone earlier.”“It’s fine. You can do anything you want to me,” said the lying man who


    kept a straight face.Without missing a beat, Josiah uttered, “Halt the car! I don’t want my ears to bleed


    from hearing your lovey-dovey exchange this early in the morning.”
