Silly Bride Chapter 249


    Chapter 249


    After returning to the room, Winnie immediately closed all the doors and windows. Christopher, on the


    other hand, rolled up the window blinds halfway and looked out to make sure that no one followed them


    before saying with a frown, “I also didn’t expect Yulissa toe back all of a sudden. That was way too


    dangerous. Fortunately, we already know Professor White’s whereabouts and managed to calm her


    down for the time being.”Winnie, too, furrowed her brows. “She seems to be quite close with her


    grandpa. It’s good that she has some scruples like this. We’ll be doomed if she has no restraint.”“Yes,


    and I also didn’t expect Harold to act so swiftly.” Christopher’s frown deepened. “We’ve neither figured


    out his saleswork nor lured out the Big ck Bear you’re looking for, but his first deal has already


    arrived. Arge volume of goods is involved this time, and their ws will be revealed as soon as they


    are made. You’ll be in danger when those people discover that the goods are wed at that point.


    Everything happened so quickly. We need to revise our ns.”Winnie fell deep in thought for a long


    while before finally responding, “It’s fine. Since he acted swiftly, we’ll end it quickly as well. Lies will be


    exposed one day, so the sooner we extricate ourselves, the better. I’m sure you don’t want to stay here


    any longer, but first, how much do you know about today’s buyer?”Christopher replied in a deep


    voice, “If I’m not mistaken, this person probably came from South Adrune. He’s quite powerful and


    started out in the arms business at first. He’s rich but also not someone to mess with.”“To what extent?”


    Winnie looked at him. “Is it truly like what Harold said that if the goods can’t be delivered, even he


    himself will face terrible consequences?”“Exactly!” Christopher nodded. “You can say that.”“That’s


    perfect!” Winnie continued after chuckling softly, “The direr the situation, the more advantageous it is


    for me. Harold has always felt that my conditions were too much and didn’t wish to agree to them. If I


    don’t budge first, he’ll keep dying his response. But he can’t do that now since he cinched a huge


    order with the sample. After this, everything depends on me. He needs my help now, and if he doesn’t


    agree to my conditions, then I won’t deliver the goods no matter what. If I don’t do that, the one who


    suffers, in the end, is him.”“That’s true!” Christopher nodded. “You can give it a try. You’ve been very


    assertive in front of him, so he is somewhat afraid of you. Besides, he wouldn’t dare to do anything to


    you now for the sake of his own interests.”“Exactly. That’s my point. Actually—” Several knocks on the


    door suddenly came from outside before Winnie could finish speaking.She immediately fell silent and


    frowned.Christopher also instinctively looked out the window.Only after seeing who it was outside the


    door did he breathe a sigh of relief and look at Winnie. “It’s Yulissa. I bet she wants to ask us about


    Professor White.”Winnie bobbed her head. “Let her in, then.”Christopher hummed before going to


    utch the safety chain on the door.Before he could open the door, Yulissa twisted the door knob and


    barged in from outside.She nced at Winnie and Christopher and sneered. “Why must you lock the


    door? I bet you’re feeling guilty and scared now, aren’t you?”Winnie had no interest in listening to the


    other woman’s snarky remarks. “Since you came here to inquire about your grandpa, cut the useless


    talk. However, before I answer your question, I have a question for you first.”Yulissa kicked the door


    shut. “Don’t forget that I can send you to your doom at any moment, so don’t get cocky in front of


    me.”Winnie shot the other woman a look of displeasure before pulling out the hairpin on her head and


    throwing it toward her.The hairpin grazed Yulissa’s scalp before piercing the wooden door.Winnie then


    said with a chilly expression, “I don’t want to waste my time talking to you! Just tell me right now. Did


    you take my ck badge from Xavier?”Yulissa did not expect Winnie to possess this hidden ability. If


    the position of the hairpin was a little bit lower, I might have be blind.She was pinned to the spot,


    trembling with anger. I never expected to be oppressed by this d*mn woman Winnie again.“What ck


    badge?” Yulissa put on a tough front. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”“Stop pretending! It’s


    pointless!” Seeing that Yulissa refused to say anything, Winnie walked right in front of her.She pinned


    Yulissa firmly against the door with one hand and pulled out the hairpin stuck on the door with the other


    before slowly sliding the hairpin down thetter’s cheek.“Where the h*ll is my ck badge? Stop talking


    nonsense with me!”“Hmph!” Yulissa shot the other woman a re. “sh me if you dare. I’ve stopped


    caring about my face for a long time.”“Is that so?” Winnie tightened her grip on the hairpin. “You may


    not care about your face, but I don’t believe you’re not afraid of pain.” As soon as she exerted more


    force, the hairpin cut deeply into Yulissa’s skin.Only after feeling the blood oozing out of the wound did


    Yulissa look fearful.“Stop! Isn’t it just a badge? The ck one, right? As long as you bring my grandpa


    to me, I’ll return the ck badge to you. You have my word!”However, Winnie pressed the hairpin down


    harder. “I can’t wait that long!”Yulissa red at her. “Even so, you still have to wait. Do you think I’m


    unaware that Josiah is looking for me? He even asked around about the ck badge. I kept the badge


    on me at first, but I was afraid that Josiah would take it away, so I quickly dug a hole to hide it. If you


    ask me to tell you the location now, I really can’t give you the coordinates unless I go over and look for


    it myself.”Winnie could not tell at that moment whether Yulissa was lying, but at a certain point, she


    truly wanted to pierce the hairpin deeply into thetter’s skin.However, Christopher quickly stopped her


    by gently holding her wrist and whispering in her ear, “Let’s save Professor White first. He can be a


    bargaining chip when the timees. There’s no need for you to get angry now.”Winnie knew that his


    words made sense, so she took a deep breath and withdrew the hand holding the hairpin.However,


    after taking a step back, she could not help but look back and threaten Yulissa, “I’m not a good person


    either, so you’d better keep your promise.”“Fine.” Thetter wiped the blood from her face. “Don’t we


    still have Captain Bet acting as a middleman for us? I’m also not a good person, so I’ll never let


    you off if you can’t bring my grandpa to me. Your methods might not be quite as brutal as mine,


    Winnie.”Winnie furrowed her brows when she heard Yulissa.Indeed. I might not be able to match


    Yulissa’s level of viciousness.She walked back to the table and sat down before asking Yulissa, “Go on,


    tell me what you wish to know.”“Everything that transpired when you met my grandpa, and every


    detail.”The next day, early in the morning, Winnie awoke to several knocks on her door.She instinctively


    sat up on the bed. “Who is it?”“It’s me.” Harold’s voice rang out from outside the door. “It’ste. Rise


    and shine! I brought you breakfast. Have I disturbed you?”Winnie frowned. “No. Wait a moment. I’ll


    change my clothes ande out.”“Take your time.” Harold said kindly, “I’ll wait for you outside. Come


    out when you’re ready.”“All right!” Winnie responded casually. She got dressed in no time and walked


    out of the room.Out in the courtyard, Harold had already told someone to ce the breakfast on the


    stone table. Christopher was also standing behind him.When Harold saw Winnie opening the door and


    stepping out, he immediately got up and approached her.She shed him a faint smile. “Why are you


    so considerate today, Mr. Horton?”Harold raised his eyebrow. “If you like it, Ms. Vivian, I can be this


    considerate from this day forward.”Winnie smiled and sat down. “I reckon you did this for that batch of


    goods, didn’t you, Mr. Horton? That’s why you’re in a hurry to send me to theb.”Harold gave her aProperty ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    fake smile. “I wouldn’t say that I’m in a hurry. I merely want toplete this deal as soon as possible.


    By the way, I wanted toe to youst night, but I was afraid of disturbing your rest. Give me your


    overseas bank ount details. I’ll transfer one-third of the deposit to you first, and when I get the final


    payment, I’ll give you one-third of that as well.”“One-third?” Winnie chuckled. “I don’t think I’ve said yes


    to that. You probably don’t know who I went out to meet yesterday, Mr. Horton. To be honest, I met with


    Mr. Cabell’s subordinate yesterday, and initially, I wasn’t going to consider him, because he didn’t have


    any bullets in hand, so he might not be able to guarantee my safety. However, his subordinate told me


    yesterday that he’s nning to work with General Kane. Although you’re the most powerful of the three


    influential figures in Lightspring, Mr. Horton, you certainly can’tpare with the general. Moreover,


    General Kane himself also has many connections, so I think that doing business with them will


    definitely be more secure.”She paused before continuing, “Most importantly, they promised to give me


    forty percent of the dividends, which is much more tempting than the one-third you offered. Birds die for


    food, and human beings die for money. I don’t know you very well in the first ce, and there’s nothing


    more than friendly terms between us, so I can’t possibly give up a forty percent profit for a mere one-


    third. Can you understand what I’m trying to say, Mr. Horton?”The look on Harold’s face changed


    dramatically after he heard her words, and he immediately nced at Christopher standing behind


    him.Seeing his reaction, Winnie could not help but chuckle. “What’s the use of looking at him, Mr.


    Horton? Those few men of yours did follow me everywhere yesterday, but it’s a pity that they are all


    men and can’t follow me into thedies’ room. It was there that I met with Mr. Cabell’s


    subordinate.”Harold gritted his teeth. “So you’re raising the price on the spot?”“That’s right.” Winnie


    chuckled lightly. “Am I not being obvious enough? You’ve already received the deposit for this order,


    and you told mest night that if you fail to deliver the goods on time, you’ll face terrible consequences.


    So, I think you really should reconsider my proposal, Mr. Horton.”“No way!” Harold replied without


    hesitation. “There’s no way I’m giving you fifty percent. If you want that much, you might as well change


    my entire family’s surname to yours. Forty percent. No more than that.”Winnie let out a loud scoff. “Is


    there any difference between Mr. Cabell’s offer and yours then?”“Of course there is. While I have been


    creating new products for a while, they are making old, traditional goods. He and Shaun’sbined


    resources are of a far lower caliber than mine. If what I’m creating is of exceptional quality, their


    products are simply junk. I find it iprehensible that you would choose to take forty percent of trash


    over forty percent of high-quality goods. What a fool!”“Oh?” Seeing as they finally got to the point,


    Winnie snorted disdainfully. “You’ll need to prove it to me then. Otherwise, how would I be able to tell if


    the quality you are referring to is merely garbage concealed beneath a fine-gradeyer? I won’t dare to


    believe you unless you show me the core of the interests and some trump cards.”Harold fell silent. If I


    allow this woman in front of me toe in contact with the core of my interests, it’ll be like letting her


    have something on me. But if I decline, I’ll breach the contract. Although the other party is wealthy and


    powerful, they’re not one to be trifled with. My long-running business may be destroyed as a result of


    this. However, I’m confident that as long as I can appease this woman first, I’ll have plenty of ways to


    get back at herter.Hence, after mulling it over, Harold voiced his agreement.“All right. Come with me.


    I’ll show you the legacy of the Horton family. But let’s make a deal first. You can’t bring any electronic


    equipment in, you can’t take pictures, you can’t record videos, and I’ll only allow you to see it


    once.”“Sure.” Winnie immediately took out her phone and ced it on the table. “I’ll leave my phone


    here ande with you.”However, Harold was unaware that the woman standing before him had a


    photographic memory.
