Silly Bride Chapter 231


    Chapter 231


    Immediately, everyone went on guard. As Greta retreated, the person in the bushes slowly


    appeared.“Damn it! It’s the b*stard Zyon again!” Winnie cursed when she saw the person’s face.Even


    Xavier furrowed his brows. “He has taken Rachel hostage.”The more Winnie thought about it, the


    angrier she was.“What is up with Zyon’s eyes? He picked Rachel back at the dock as well. Now, even


    after I’ve hidden Rachel well, he still managed to find her! Did he put a tracker on her or


    something?”“Unlikely.” Xavier held Winnie’s hand. “Calm down. Let’s hear what he has to say


    first.”Winnie let out a long sigh. “That’s the only thing we can do right now. He must have no other


    thoughts other than wanting to stay alive.”Xavier hummed in agreement. “I’ll go and talk to him. Stay


    here. Someone needs to keep an eye on Granny and the car.”Winnie parted her lips, but she said


    nothing.She had decided to exchange herself for Rachel instead of staying back.Furthermore, Xavier


    had injured his arm. He would be in even more danger if he were to confront Zyon.However, she


    changed her mind right then. “All right. Be careful.”Xavier nodded. “Don’t worry. There are many of us.


    Even if he’s desperate, he won’t do anything rashly.”With that, he went forward without looking


    back.Meanwhile, while the others were not paying attention to her, Winnie hid inside the trunk of the


    car.By the time Xavier went over, Greta had already retreated.The moment Mason and the others saw


    Greta returning unharmed, they tightened their grips on the weapons, ready to spring into action at any


    moment.Fear overwhelmed Zyon. As he pressed the muzzle of the pistol against Rachel’s head, he


    dragged her backward and yelled, “Put down your guns, or I’m going to shoot her! No one else might


    know about this, but I’m sure you do, Xavier. I was the one who wrecked one of her legs! If you don’t


    listen to me, I’ll shoot her other leg. Do you hear me, Xavier Fairchild?”Of course, Xavier knew how


    Zyon had crippled Rachel.His gaze on Zyon was frigid and sharp like a de. “What do you


    want?”“What do I want? Are you really asking me that? Obviously, I want to leave this ce alive! Put


    down the gun and give me the car. It’s that simple. Otherwise, I’ll make this dumb woman’s life a living


    hell!”“Okay.” Xavier knew that was something Zyon was more than capable of doing at a desperate


    moment like this. “Just calm down. I’ll get them to put their guns down.”“You too. Throw your gun over


    here!”“Of course. We’ll do as you say,” Xavier said as he threw the gun half a meter away from him.The


    others followed suit as they threw the weapons in their hands to the ground.“Very well.” Zyon dragged


    Rachel forward a little. “I’m d you’ve got good head on your shoulders. Now, keep walking back until


    you’re at that tree over there. Do you hear me?”The tree that Zyon pointed at was at least fifteen


    meters away from their current position.If they were to retreat all the way there and let Zyon get into the


    car, it would be no easy feat for them to catch up to him again.However, there was nothing else they


    could do—Zyon still had Rachel hostage, so Xavier had no choice but to choose to go along with the


    former’s words.Nevertheless, while they were retreating to the tree in a group, the people in the front


    smartly concealed the people in the back from Zyon’s line of sight, which allowed them to discreetly


    pick up their weapons. Xavier also picked up a pistol as the others hid him with their bodies.Greta had


    long told Jacinta to step out of the car and retreat with Xavier and the others.Right than, Greta, who


    was by Xavier’s side, sensed something amiss. When the rm bells in her head became louder and


    louder, she whispered, “By the way, Mr. Fairchild, where’s Ms. Gand? I thought I saw her standing


    with you earlier. Where did she go?”Xavier froze before whipping his head in Jacinta’s


    direction.“Granny, isn’t Winnie with you?”Jacinta shook her head in confusion. “No. Wasn’t she by your


    side the whole time? When was she with me?”“Damn it!”At that very moment, Xavier realized what was


    going on.She must have hidden in the car. She guessed that Zyon was going to ask for the car and that


    he was going to ask us to put down our weapons and stay away from him. That’s why she was so quick


    to agree to stay behind to keep an eye on Jacinta. It’s because she was nning to hide in the car.


    She’s not going to let Zyon go, and she’s not going to let him leave today.Xavier looked at the car up


    ahead, feeling the urge to run over to it.However, his rationality told him that he would alert Zyon to the


    n if he were to do that.If that were to happen, the risks Winnie had taken would be for naught.Thus,


    he chose to do nothing.Not long after, everyone had retreated to the tree where Zyon had told them to


    go.The first thing Zyon did was push Rachel into the car. Then, he began picking up the guns and


    throwing them into the car, nning to bring them all with him. He was not going to let Winnie, Xavier,


    and the rest have the chance to turn the tables.However, what he never sawing was someone


    pressing a gun to the back of his head when he turned over to pick up the weapons on the ground the


    second time.“Who is it? Who’s behind me?” The hair on the back of Zyon’s neck stood up.Winnie


    pulled the safety pin and hissed, “Anyst words?”Instantly recognizing Winnie’s voice, Zyon begged,


    “Please, please let me go! I’ll give you all of my money. I’ll give you the gold too. I’ll give you all the


    assets I have. Please just spare my life! From now on, you can enjoy your life with Xavier in Avenport. I


    swear I won’t step foot into Chanaea ever again. I’ll stay here for the rest of my life.”Winnie scoffed, “Do


    you think I’m that stupid to believe in your nonsense? Go to hell! You have no right to even peek at


    heaven!”“No! No, no, no! You can’t kill me. I have a secret to tell you. It’s real! I swear it’s real. If you


    shoot me now, you’ll regret it!”“Oh? Let’s hear if this secret of yours is worth that much.”Despite her


    words, Winnie did not let down her guard. The moment Zyon did anything suspicious, she would end


    his life.Realizing that he had been given a chance to live, Zyon hastily said, “If we talk about blood


    rtions, I’m your cousin. Your maternal granny is my paternal grandma. I’m the grandson she has


    been looking for all these years. We’re cousins, so how can you kill me? Please spare my life for the


    sake of the same blood flowing in our veins!”Winnie had thought that she would be unfazed by anything


    that came out of Zyon’s mouth.However, a trace of suspicion crept into her mind at that moment.No


    one knows that Granny has been looking for her grandson. How did Zyon find out about that?Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
