Silly Bride Chapter 299


    Chapter 299


    Lisanne was in such anguish that she almost couldn’t control her emotions. Grabbing Winnie’s arms,


    sheunched a barrage of questions. “Didn’t you see where he fell with your own eyes? Don’t you


    know where exactly you were back then? You know his identity. Are you going to tell me you didn’t visit


    his organization and unit after returning to the country? How could his body still not be brought back


    yet?”Her grip was so tight that it was hurting Winnie, but thetter didn’t even budge. “I did all I could


    after what happened, Lisanne. There were people chasing after us and trying to kill us at the bottom of


    the building back then. That person had a grudge against me and Christopher. We don’t know if he


    took Christopher’s body away or not.”“Who is he?” Lisanne’s grip tightened further. “What is his name?


    What does he look like? How do we contact him? Where can we find him?”“It’s pointless to ask these


    questions, Lisanne. That ce is very dangerous.” Winnie gently informed, “Even If I know the answers


    to all your questions, I won’t tell you. Besides, I have no idea where he is right now. If I could contact


    him, I would’ve been looking for him already.”At that moment, Lisanne wasn’t registering anything


    Winnie said. “That’s all the more reason you should tell me everything you know about him. Just


    because you can’t find him doesn’t mean others can’t. I can ask Lucas to help me. On top of that, I


    have my own resources.”“Lisanne.” A sigh escaped Winnie’s mouth. “I’ve already asked Lucas to help


    me. However, there still hasn’t been any breakthrough yet. You should wait for our news instead of


    throwing yourself into the fire.”“No, I will find him. Even if I can’t retrieve Christopher’s body in the end, I


    still want to avenge him! I’m begging you, Winnie. Please tell me the identity of the person who killed


    Christopher. I will make him pay in blood!”When Winnie was retelling the events that unfolded in


    Manchernius earlier, she had already avoided mentioning Xavier. Yet, Lisanne was bringing up the


    question again.She didn’t want to twist the truth and lie to Lisanne about who pushed Christopher off


    the building. However, she just couldn’t bring herself to say it either.As the two women were arguing


    with each other, Xavier had already noticed what was happening on their side.He wasn’t aware of the


    specifics of their argument, but he could still tell it was serious.Thus, he swiftly ended his call and


    approached Winnie.When he got closer, he realized they were talking about Christopher.He knew howC0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.


    much Winnie med herself for what had happened, which was why he didn’t want to make things


    even more difficult for her.Therefore, when Xavier heard Lisanne’s question, he answered on behalf of


    Winnie, “It was me. Back on the rooftop, I was under a drug’s influence and identally pushed


    Christopher off the building.”“What did you say?” Lisanne thought her ears were ying tricks on her.


    Without dy, she let go of Winnie and turned to Xavier. “You said you’re the one who pushed


    Christopher off the building?”“Yes.” He took the initiative to bear the responsibility. “It should be me.


    While I don’t remember what happened back then after it was over, there was no one else on the


    rooftop but us. My mental and emotional state were vtile at the time, and I recalled being very angry


    at Christopher when it happened.” “Is that true?” Lisanne didn’t expect that to be what happened. With


    a look of disbelief, she nced at Winnie again. “Is what he said true? Did you know about


    this?”Nodding silently, Winnie replied, “Yes, I did. However, it’s not as simple as it sounds. Listen to our


    exnation first, okay?”“Exnation?” Lisanne shifted her gaze between Winnie and Xavier before


    copsing onto the couch in dismay. “If I didn’t keep questioning you about who killed Christopher,


    would you have covered up your husband’s involvement in this? You knew he did it, yet you hid that


    fact from me!”“The situation’splicated, Lisanne. Can you listen to our exnation first?”Seeing that


    the “murderer” was standing right in front of her, Lisanne calmed down instead. “Fine. Go ahead. I’ll


    listen.”Winnie nodded and sat next to Lisanne. “Some things are rted to Christopher’s mission, so I


    can’t tell you everything in detail. However, I will tell you the things that I should…”Thus, Winnie


    recounted everything that happened to her and Christopher in Manchernius, including the promise she


    made to Christopher when he was on the verge of death in the basement—the one about meeting


    together again in their next lives.She told Lisanne that detail because Yulissa had used that incident to


    drive Xavier further toward the brink of madness.When Lisanne finished listening to the story, her face


    was already covered in tears. “So he’s the most innocent person in this whole ordeal, the one who paid


    a terrible price for the feud between you people. I had an inkling he was in love with someone, but I


    didn’t know it was you until today. Does this mean he wouldn’t have died if he hadn’t met either of


    you?”“No!” Xavier could tolerate Lisanne ming him for Christopher’s idental murder, but he


    refused to let Lisanne insinuate the reason Christopher died was that he met Winnie. “Back then,


    Christopher was severely injured in Harold’s factory. If Winnie hadn’t risked her life to save him back


    then, he would’ve died then and there. I’m responsible for Christopher’s death, so I hope you won’t


    me Winnie for this, Ms. Marsh.”“That’s right.” Lisanne’s eyes reddened as her lips trembled. “I


    shouldn’t me Winnie. No, I should me you! If I identally kill Winnie one day, I bet you wouldn’t


    forgive me. Therefore, you should pay the price for taking his life with your own!”She couldn’t ept


    the fact that a madman faced no legal consequences for killing someone because it meant no one


    would be punished for the murder, and justice wouldn’t be served.Grabbing the fruit knife on the table,


    she immediately tried to stab Xavier in the chest.Winnie managed to grab the knife before the attack


    connected.“Lisanne.” Her eyes had also be red-rimmed from sorrow. “Xavier really didn’t do it on


    purpose. It’s because of me he became like that. If you want revenge, punish me instead.”Staring at


    Winnie’s bleeding palm, Lisanne started to weep.Her gaze remained fixed on Winnie for a long while


    before she finally let go of the knife. “You two should leave. I don’t want to see either of you for the time


    being. I need time to readjust my emotions. As for you, Xavier, I very much regret helping you in the


    past. If I had known things would turn out like this, I wouldn’t have agreed to help you even if you


    begged me to while kneeling on the ground. Scram! Get out of my house right now!”
