Silly Bride Chapter 262
Chapter 262
“Well? Answer him!”Irritation flooded Leandro.Argh! I loathe spies! They’re best at deceiving others’
trust and feelings, utterly reprehensible!Despite his fury, Winnie remained unperturbed.Instead, she
chuckled softly. “Okay, I’lly my cards on the table, then. I don’t know.”“What did you just say?”
Picking up the gun, Leandro pointed it at her forehead. “It seems that your identity is indeed fake! Who
exactly are you? And who sent you here?”Winnie straightened in her seat.“I’m Vivian. But since Big
ck Bear is here in person, I can’t quite continue using his identity to impersonate him. Indeed, I’m
not Big ck Bear, but I only pretended to be him out of desperation. No one had ever heard of the
name Vivian, but I had to survive. I really have a formtion, so I needed a buyer, money, and
someone to protect me. Thus, I borrowed the moniker. But Boss, is it truly that important whether I’m
Big ck Bear? Even if I’m Vivian, I can still help youplete your orders! Why must you ce such
importance on this moniker?”Leandro’s eyes narrowed into slits. “I’m not concerned about that moniker!
I just don’t want to be duped! I don’t want to be in the dark even after I’ve been stabbed in the back!”“I’ll
never betray you as long as you pay me!” Winnie lifted her left hand in a gesture of swearing an
oath.“Hmph! Previously, I didn’t know you were lying to me, so I promised you an equal share of the
profits. But now—”Without Leandro having to spell it out, Winnie voluntarily offered, “I’ll give half of that
to Mr. Big ck Bear here. With him here now, my workload will be halved. As such, I naturally won’t
hang on to the substantial profits without sharing them. I’m here anyway, so my fate hinges on you at
the end of the day. I’ve been here for a long time, but I don’t even have a phone and have no way of
contacting the outside world. What else is there for you to be suspicious of, Boss?”Regretfully, Leandro
shook his head. “Harold has always been an exceedingly cunning man, yet you managed to win him
over. I’ve got to admit that you’re indeed a capable person. I don’t dare trust you.”Nheless, Winnie
merely chortled. “I understand, but as distance tests a horse’s strength, so time reveals a person’s
integrity. As long as you spare me, Boss, you’ll know in the future that everything I’m saying right now
is only for the sake of better survival. I don’t need you to make a decision right away. You can consider
it carefully or even forge a coboration with Mr. Big ck Bear here first as long as you spare me.”As
she mentioned sparing her several times, Leandro burst intoughter. “It looks like you’re really terrified
of dying.”“Of course! To tell you the truth, I first chose to seek Harold out to coborate because he had
firearms. I felt that a coboration with him would be a much safer option. But then, he’s far too ruthless
for the average person to deal with and I was no exception.”Hearing that, Leandro was tickled pink.
“Hah! Are you sure about that? You’re definitely the biggest surprise he’d ever encountered in his life.
After all, you blew his factory up!”In response, Winnie heaved a sigh in exasperation. “Boss, you’ve
mentioned that too many times to count! If I hadn’t done that, I would’ve ended up dead. Put the gun
away first, okay? Or would you rather have a dead body than a helper?”In the face of benefits, there
were no permanent enemies. Needless to say, Leandro was reluctant to kill her, for he could see the
benefit she might bring him.At that precise moment, his phone rang without warning.He took his phone
out and nced at it, only to start snickering.“I almost forgot that your man is still in my hands. You’d
best obey me to the letter. I can tell that you care about him quite a bit.”Winnie stole a peek at his
phone screen and glimpsed a video call request.shing him a smile, she replied, “You’re right.
Actually, I’m also afraid at times, so I wish to have someone who treats me sincerely by my side. I find
Chris to be a pretty good fit, so I hope you’ll spare him, Boss.”Leandro guffawed triumphantly. “That
depends on your performance.”“I’ll do my best! Can I please talk to him? I think I need to see him.”At
her words, Leandro couldn’t help letting out a bark ofughter. “What’s wrong? You’re now afraid and
want somefort, huh?”Looking at him, Winnie fibbed, “Well, no matter how strong a woman is, she
still needs some emotional assurance sometimes.”Leandro didn’t bother speaking further, handing his
phone to her directly.Winnie epted the video call request. In no time, Christopher’s face appeared
on the phone screen.“Are you okay? What happened earlier? Why did you hang up abruptly?”
Christopher questioned, bombarding her with question after question.Winnie first nced at Leandro,
who had been staring at her. Then, she shifted her gaze to Christopher on the screen.In an even voice,
she exined, “I’m fine. Boss came over just now, so I chatted with him for a bit. I’m truly happy to see
you. As per our agreement previously, you’ve got to rest well and follow the n devised by the doctor.
I’ll go over and visit you soon.” In truth, Christopher couldn’t shake off the feeling that the matter wasn’t
that simple. He suspected that she was in danger.Hence, he used Morse code to convey a message to
her.He asked her whether she had run into trouble.To that, Winnie answered in the negative and told
him to execute the n without worrying.Still, Christopher was worried. Concern was written all over
his face.Exasperated beyond words, Winnie inquired, “Where’s the doctor? Is he there? I’ve got
something to ask him.”Christopher knew that she was asking about Xavier, so he nodded.“Wait a
moment. I’ll call the doctor over right away.”He depressed the call button. Shortly after, Xavier
arrived.Pointing the camera at thetter, Christopher said to Winnie, “The doctor is here, so you can
ask him whatever it is.”“Okay.” Winnie pinned her eyes on Xavier. “Doctor, I think the patient is a touch
unstable emotionally. Can you care for him specifically, not only in terms of his physical injuries but also
emotionally?”Christopher’s brows furrowed. “I’m fine emotionally.”However, Winnie chuckled. “You
naturally don’t think there’s anything wrong with yourself.”Subsequently, she shifted her gaze back to
Xavier, the look in her eyes resolute. “Listen to me! Do you get it? Do as I said!”Xavier understood her
meaning. In truth, she wasn’t referring to Christopher’s condition but their n.Christopher was worried
that she would be in danger, so he didn’t want to leave. But Winnie was insisting that they continued
adhering to the n.Truth be told, Xavier was likewise concerned about her.He was worried sick about
her, but at that critical juncture, he chose to trust in the decision she made.Bobbing his head, he
assured, “Don’t worry, for we’ll do our best to take good care of the patient.”“Great!” Winnie beamed at
him. He’s gotten increasingly better at working with me. In the past, I could aplish plenty by myself
and didn’t need anyone to be with me at all times. But at some point in time, he has silently be my
greatest backing!Later, Winnie hung up the video call and returned the phone to Leandro.With the
phone in hand, Leandro got to his feet. He then waved a hand and summoned two men over.“Keep a
close eye on Ms. Vivian. From now on, she isn’t allowed to go anywhere without my orders, nor is she
allowed to interact with anyone else other than me. If anything happens, I’ll hold the two of you
responsible!”“Understood, Boss!” the two subordinates answered at once.Leandro nodded. He
pondered for a moment before warning Winnie, “I’m going to meet up with Cabell soon. If I were to find
out that you’re his spy—”“Cut me into a thousand pieces then!” Winnie interrupted without waiting for
the man to finish speaking.“Fine! Remember you said this yourself.” Leandro pointed a finger at
her.Having said that, he made to leave.When Winnie saw that Big ck Bear was going to leave with
Leandro, she immediately opened her mouth.Unexpectedly, Big ck Bear himself made a request of
Leandro before she had even spoken.“Wait a moment, Boss. I’d like to speak with this woman privately.
Do you mind?”At that, Leandro frowned. “What’s there to talk about between you both? Hasn’t the
matter about your identities been resolved now?”“I don’t care about that. If she likes the moniker of Big
ck Bear, I don’t mind giving it to her. I’m only interested in the formtion in her hands,” Big ck
Bear admitted.“It won’t do you any good even if you’re interested in it. Such a thing is considered a
means of survival to the likes of you. Yet, you hope she’d give you the formtion?” Leandro
scoffed.“Of course not. I tested the sample you gave me. I’m merely curious about how she happened
to have such a formtion. It goes without saying that these questions I’d like to ask her wouldn’t harm
your interests. I just want to talk to her.”Leandro didn’t agree to it right away. Instead, he cast a nce
at Winnie. “What do you think? Are you willing to talk to him?”Coincidentally, Winnie had the exact
same n. “Sure! Let me talk to him privately for a while. How about we go to my room? There are too
many mosquitoes out here. Besides, I think there are some things he doesn’t want a third person to
know.”While saying that, she swung her gaze at Big ck Bear. “Don’t you agree?”Big ck Bear
didn’t answer her. He merely sought Leandro’s permission. “May I?”Leandro eyed Winnie. “Are you up
to some trick or other?”“What trick could I be up to? Just have your subordinates keep guard outside
the door. Chris is still in your hands, Boss. Moreover, he was the one who proposed talking to me
privately. Even if you want to suspect something, Boss, shouldn’t you suspect his motives and not
mine?”For a moment, Leandro was left without a retort. “Fine, go ahead then. I’ll be keeping an eye on
you both outside.”Thus, Winnie and Big ck Bear entered the room behind them under the man’s
watchful gaze.Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.
