Silly Bride Chapter 255


    Chapter 255


    The man chuckled awkwardly. “I-I’m Professor White’s assistant. Maybe it was too darkst night, so


    you didn’t get a good look at my face, but I really am his assistant. I’m not lying!”“Then where is


    Professor White?” Winnie’s brows were tightly knitted as disbelief washed over her. “Why were you


    wearing the helmet? Wasn’t Professor White the one wearing the helmetst night?”“I…” Sensing that


    the two women on board the car were about to murder him at any time, the man gulped. He scrunched


    up his face and exined, “There was heavy gunfirest night. I’m just an ordinary person, so,


    obviously, I’m scared of getting shot by a stray bullet. There were two helmets in the car at that time, I


    saw Professor White putting on a helmet, so I picked up the remaining one and put it on. I just wanted


    to live. Then, you said you wanted the med kit, so I went into the car to get the med kit. After that, you


    pulled me onto the bike. I thought it was because the car was too small for so many people, and that’s


    why you dragged me onto the bike. I didn’t know that you wanted to bring Professor White away back


    then. I thought you arranged for Professor White to be in the car because it would be safer, and that’s


    why you brought me to take the bike with you.”As the assistant exined, he kept ncing at Winnie.


    Winnie was not the only one in disbelief; even he found the whole thing confusing.Winnie studied the


    assistant. He did not look like he was lying at all.Furthermore, his exnation made sense—it matched


    what had happened the night before.Winnie’s brows furrowed even more. “Then why didn’t you deny it


    when I called you Professor White today? Also, why didn’t you exin to me when I mentioned your


    leg injury?”The assistant was aggrieved. “I thought you called me by the wrong name. After all, it had


    been desperate circumstances. You even called me Xavier when you asked me to pass you the gauze.


    I know that people would make mistakes like these when they’re anxious, so I didn’t exin anything


    because I didn’t think it’d be necessary. Moreover, I did injure my leg. Professor White wasn’t the only


    one who was hurt in the sewer. I was, too. But I know I’m not as important to you, and everyone was in


    a rush to escape. I didn’t want to make more trouble for you, so I didn’t say anything.”Everything the


    assistant had said was true, and Winnie was rendered speechless.All she could do was me herself


    for her carelessness. She was the one who thought the one wearing a helmet and holding a med kit


    was Riley.With those thoughts in mind, Winnie gritted her teeth and cursed under her breath, “D*mn


    it.”She was currently unable to contact Xavier, and she had no idea whether or not he realized the real


    Riley was in his car.Furthermore, she did not know whether they were currently safe or not.Still, her


    priority at that moment was to send Christopher to the hospital.Yulissa had readily agreed toe


    back and pick Christopher up because Winnie had promised to send Riley safely to Yulissa.Yet, Riley


    was now missing.Winnie let out a long resigned sigh before calling out Yulissa’s name. She then tried


    to exin to her, “Sorry. You heard him too. This is a misunderstanding. I’ve brought the wrong person,


    but your grandpa should be with Xavier right now. We did take him out of Harold’s


    factory.”Nevertheless, Yulissa was livid to hear Winnie’s exnation.“Winnie Gand, do you really


    take me as a fool just because I’ve lost to you several times before? You’re f*cking toying with me! Are


    you enjoying this? You and Christopher went there to save my grandpa, but you ended up rescuing the


    wrong person. Now, you’re telling me that this is a misunderstanding and that my grandpa is with


    Xavier? Sure, prove it to me! If you can’t prove it, then that means you’re just a godd*mn liar! You and


    Christopher are afraid I’d expose your secrets to Harold, so you’re using my grandpa as a shield! I’m


    telling you now, Winnie Gand. My grandpa is my only bottom line. If you have the guts to use my


    grandpa to mess with me, you’ll have to pay the price for it. I’m going to drag you to hell even if it


    means I have to go there too!”Winnie took in a deep breath. “I’m not lying to you. Give me your phone.


    I’ll call Xavier right now, but you can’t stop the car. You have to keep driving.”“You motherf*cker!”


    Yulissa screamed. Winnie was starting to get mad. “Yulissa White, mind your words!”“What’s the


    matter?” Yulissa barked out augh. “You’re upset because I mentioned your mother? Then do you


    think I’d be happy about you using my grandpa to mess with me?”As she spoke, she fished out her


    phone and threw it toward the backseat. “Make the call. Make the call to Xavier right now. I have to


    hear my grandpa speak today!”Winnie caught the phone, but she hesitated after opening the call


    function.Of course, she could call Xavier at any time, but after the series of events the night before, she


    was unsure if Xavier still had his phone with him.It would be best if he could pick up the call and tell her


    that he and Riley were fine.But what if I can’t get through to him or if no one picks up the call? Yulissa’s


    going to lose it.Those thoughts brought a frown to Winnie’s face.When she lowered her head to nceContent is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    at the unconscious Christopher, another idea popped into her head.If Xavier doesn’t pick up the call, I’ll


    have to wrestle with Yulissa to be in control of the car. She’s not going to just send Christopher to the


    hospital like this.Hence, as Winnie dialed Xavier’s number with her right hand, she reached up to the


    special ne around her neck with her left hand.At the same time, she slowly leaned forward to


    allow herself to grab Yulissa easierter.Once she was in the right position, she made the call. s,


    Xavier’s phone was switched off.Nheless, Winnie did not tell Yulissa about that right away, for she


    was ready to make her move.What Winnie never sawing was that Yulissa had sensed something


    amiss.Before she could make her move, Yulissa struck.For a moment, Winnie thought that Yulissa


    would whip out a gun to aim at her or flee the car.However, Yulissa did neither of those. Instead, she


    picked up a gas mask by her feet and put it on.“What are you trying to do?” Winnie realized that Yulissa


    was going to gas the car, but by then, Yulissa had already locked the car doors.There was no way she


    and Riley’s assistant could get out.In the next second, white toxic gas rose from Yulissa’s


    position.Winnie hastily pulled her shirt up to cover her nose, but that was essentially useless.


    Furthermore, not only did she need to take care of herself, but she also needed to care for


    Christopher.It did not help that she knew nothing about the toxin Yulissa had used. Winnie might be fine


    after inhaling a breath or two, but that was certainly not the case for Christopher.The space within the


    car was small, and soon, the gas filled the interior.No one but Yulissa had a gas mask on, so in


    seconds, the others passed out.Yulissa gave a kick at the man in the front passenger seat. Only after


    making sure that he waspletely unresponsive did she wind down the window.As the gas went out


    of the car, Yulissa’s sight cleared up. Turning to look at the unconscious Winnie, she sneered. “That’ll


    teach you a lesson. You shouldn’t have fought with me. Did you think I came empty-handed?”I’m the


    granddaughter of a genius chemist. How can I not have some shred of chemistry knowledge myself?


    Then, Yulissa stepped on the elerator and sped off.Winnie was awakened from getting shocked.


    Yet, right as she opened her eyes, she was forced to close them again by the harsh lights above her.It


    was so bright that she could not open her eyes again, but she could discern her current situation.Her


    ears were ringing. Her tongue and her limbs still felt tingly and numb. She deduced it was probably


    because of the gas she had inhaled in the car previously.Other than that, she also knew that she was


    currently suspended in the air. It would be impossible for her to escape like this.However, the one she


    was worried about most was not herself but Christopher.A beatter, she forced her eyes open to study


    her surroundings. Unfortunately, she saw no signs of Christopher nor Riley’s assistant around.She and


    Yulissa were the only ones in the windowless room.Winnie squinted at the expressionless Yulissa. As


    her tongue still felt numb, it took her much effort to voice out, “Where’s Christopher? How is he? Where


    did you take him to?”“Ha!” Yulissa snorted. “Winnie, don’t you know what kind of situation you’re in right


    now? You can barely keep yourself safe, but you’re still thinking about Christopher? Haha! What a


    selfless being you are. Why didn’t I know that you were such a magnanimous person before? I never


    saw you being merciful toward your father, stepmother, and stepsister back in the country, though. Or


    could it be that…”Yulissa ambled away from Winnie as she continued snickering. “Could it be that


    you’re so worried about Christopher because you have an affair with him?”“Yulissa!” Winnie whipped


    her head toward the other woman. “Stop your nonsense. I swear on my life that we saved your grandpa


    from Harold’s factory. I promise you that you’ll be able to see your grandpa, but Christopher’s condition


    is deteriorating! You can get a doctor here if that’s what you prefer, or you can send him to the hospital.


    Please!”“What?” Yulissa abruptly burst intoughter upon hearing Winnie’s words. Dramatically


    cupping her ears, she asked, “What did you just say? I didn’t hear that wrongly, did I? Are you actually


    begging me for something?”“Yes,” Winnie uttered as she kept her eyes fixed on Yulissa. “You didn’t


    hear that wrongly. I’m begging you. I’m begging you to save Christopher.”“Hahaha! Now, that’s


    interesting!” Yulissaughed even more boisterously. “This is such an interesting thing, and it’s an


    event worth memorizing. Do wait a moment before you beg me again. It’s such a memorable event that


    I have to record it.”As Yulissa said that, she turned and left the room.When Yulissa opened the door


    and went out, Winnie noticed that there were stairs right outside the room.In other words, she was


    locked up in a basement.While Yulissa was not around, Winnie tugged the cuffs around her wrists


    tentatively.s, the cuffs were too tight, and she could not break free of them.After discovering that


    struggling was only a waste of her strength, Winnie stopped.Furthermore, Yulissa came back not long


    after.She had brought a tripod back. Once she fixed the phone to the tripod, she faced the camera at


    Winnie and turned on the recording function.“Come on.” After adjusting the angle, Yulissa beamed at


    Winnie. “You can start begging me now.”Winnie’s eyes flitted toward Yulissa. “Have you started


    recording? Before I begin begging, I need to make sure of something with you.”“You’re a troublesome


    one, but I’m in a good mood.” Yulissa chuckled. “When I’m in a good mood, I have a little more


    patience for you, so speak.”Winnie took in a deep breath. “I have no other requests but one. I just want


    to make sure that you’ll send Christopher to the hospital after I beg you for it.”“Oh, so that’s what you


    want.” Yulissa touched her nails. “You’ll have to beg first. I’ll need to find out whether or not you’re


    sincere about it. If you’re doing this half-heartedly, I’ll have to do that half-heartedly too. But if you


    satisfy me, I’ll send him to the hospital.”“Okay,” Winnie answered without hesitation. “How can I make


    you satisfied? Do you want me to kneel before you?”“Hm…” Yulissa nodded in contemtion. “That


    sounds good too. I doubt you’ve ever gone down on your knees before anyone and before today. Still, I


    don’t think it’s fascinating. Why don’t we do something else?”“What is it? I’ll agree to anything.”“Wow,


    you’re quick to say yes even though you haven’t heard what I wanted,” Yulissa said as she inched


    toward Winnie.Then, she lifted her arm to caress Winnie’s face before pulling out a hairpin from her


    hair.“I remember you using this thing to scratch my face the other time. My, it’ll be fun to see your pretty


    face get scratched too. Still, this is too bloody, and I don’t want to do it myself. Can you do it yourself?


    Once you wreck this pretty face of yours, beg for forgiveness. Then, I’ll send Christopher to the


    hospital. How does that sound? Why are you staring at me? Have you lost your courage to do that?


    That’s fine. Just let Christopher die. After all, he’s a nobody. How can his life be of any worth in


    comparison with your beautiful face, righ—”Before Yulissa could finish herst word, Winnie agreed to


    it. “Okay, I’ll do it! I’ll do as you say!”“Tsk, swift decision from you. If you hadn’tpeted against me for


    Xavier at the start, I would have admired you,” Yulissa said with faked wistfulness as she unlocked one


    of Winnie’s cuffs.Upon putting the hairpin on Winnie’s hand, she excitedly said, “Come on, destroy your


    face in front of me with your own hand and hairpin. But you have to wait until I tell you to start. I need to


    check if this angle is perfect or not first.”With that, Yulissa quickly retreated, not allowing Winnie any


    chance to attack her.Winnie tightened her grip on the hairpin and curled her lips. “Okay, I’ll heed your


    words.”“Haha!” Yulissa barked out. “Of course you have to heed my words. Even if you don’t want to


    save Christopher—even if we’re not ying this game—you’re still an easy target that I can do


    anything to. But that’s boring. Not thrilling enough. All right, let’s begin. This is my first time as a


    director; I don’t have much experience. I pray you can finish this in one go, or else you’ll be the one to


    suffer. Right, let’s do something even more exciting. Take off your clothes. What a waste it’ll be to not


    film your magnificent figure.”Winnie swallowed. “Is this how you’re nning to take revenge on


    me?”“No, no. This isn’t revenge.” Yulissa chuckled. “This is humiliation. I once told you that you’d never


    be as good as me when ites to tricks and schemes, so stop your pointless talk, will you? You’re


    making me run out of patience. Do you really want me to strip you myself?”Winnie’s forehead creased.


    “I don’t need you to do anything.”With that, she pulled apart the first button on her shirt with the


    hairpin.Then, the second button came undone.Right then, someone smashed open the basement door.
