Silly Bride Chapter 327
Chapter 327
If the soil found in Granny’s wardrobe is from the flowerpot that almost hit Xavier… Winnie dared not let
her thoughts run wild.After sending Josiah away, she sat on the couch and ruminated over the
matter.However, when she raised her head, she realized that Jacinta was still in the kitchen doing the
dishes.It’s just a pot and some utensils, but she has been washing it for more than fifteen minutes.As
Winnie fixed her gaze on her grandmother, she felt as though everything was a jumbled-up mess.
Nothing made sense to her, for everything was tooplicated for her toprehend.Jacinta was her
beloved grandmother who singlehandedly went through a lot of trouble to raise her and her
mother.Winnie continued staring into space, struggling to figure everything out until Jacinta wiped her
hands dry and walked out of the kitchen.“Who came by earlier?” Jacinta asked.Winnie nced at her.
“It’s Josiah. He came to get something.”“Oh. Why didn’t you invite him in for a cup of coffee?”“He just
dropped by to get something and left quickly.”“I see. It’ste. Aren’t you tired after working the whole
day? Go on and wash up before you go to bed. I have already washed up.”“Granny.”“Yes?”Winnie
stood up. “Is there anything you’d like to tell me after hearing the story that I told you earlier?”Jacinta
froze before chuckling out of the blue. “It’s a story that you’ve heard. I’ve never heard of it before and
have nothing to say about it. Go on to bed.”“All right. Good night, Granny.”Winnie left her door ajar
when she returned to her room, for she needed to listen to Jacinta’s every movement. She didn’t know
what Jacinta had done behind her back and had no idea what thetter was nning to do
next.Initially, she had wanted to contact Xavier. However, when she remembered that Jacinta might be
the one who dropped the flowerpot that nearly hit him, she immediately decided against it.Instead, she
contacted Josiah.She texted: Have you sent the samples for testing yet?After sending the message,
she waited for a reply. However, she did not expect Josiah to call her directly.Immediately, she rejected
the call and sent him another message.It read: I’m at home. I can’t answer your call.Josiah swiftly
texted her back: What’s going on? I was driving and couldn’t ask you just now. I heard that the
flowerpot fell from above and almost hit you and Xavier.Winnie’s fingers flew across the keyboard as
she typed: Yes, but not exactly. I was under an awning avoiding the rain. The person who dropped the
flowerpot only had one target, and it was Xavier.Josiah immediately replied: What? Oh my! The soil
that you gave me was found in your house, right?Winnie texted: Yes.Josiah asked: From your balcony?
Winnie replied: It was from my Granny’s wardrobe.Josiah paused and did not know how to reply to
that.He felt that there was no need to send the soil for a test because the truth was in to see.Who
would have soil in their wardrobe?However, he still replied to Winnie’s text after a few seconds of
pondering.He texted: I’ve asked someone to run the test and told them it’s urgent. We’ll get the results
in about an hour. When I get it, I’ll tell you immediately.Without waiting for Winnie’s reply, he sent
another text: Are you okay?Winnie texted: No. I’m irritated. She typed and deleted her message
multiple times before finally sending a message that read: If this was anyone else, I wouldn’t have
asked her so many questions. I’ll collect evidence and send the person to jail. Josiah replied: Then
what do you n to do?Winnie texted: Run the test first. I want to know the truth.Josiah replied: Then,
did you keep an eye on your granny’s room? Winnie, I know that you’re upset, but since you want to
investigate this, I have to say something.Winnie texted: Go ahead.Josiah texted: Initially, all we had to
look into was the fire at the Fairchild residence and the rtionship between your granny, Stuart, and
Zyon. However, the problem has developed. Your granny might be targeting Xavier. If that’s the case,
then this matter doesn’t just concern your granny, because the ones who want Xavier dead the most
are Stuart and Zyon! Zyon’s dead now. I wasn’t at the scene so I’m not sure about the details, but I’ve
heard you guys mention that your granny was the one who started shooting first. Xavier delivered the
last shot that killed him. If your grandma told Stuart about this and said that Xavier killed Zyon, Stuart
would definitely seek revenge on behalf of Zyon. Previously, they tried to stage an ident, but Xavier
got lucky and avoided it. But who knows whether they’ll do it again? What if Xavier is not as lucky the
next time?Winnie replied: Yes, you are right.Josiah texted back: I know you must be disoriented right
now. Can I give you a suggestion?Winnie replied: Go ahead.Josiah texted: Your grandma, Stuart, and
everyone else including yourself is an adult. We should have mature minds, so we must take
responsibility for our actions. Am I right?Winnie replied: Yes.Josiah sent another message: You also
said that you would tolerate your loved one’s ws, but you will not connive in their crimes. Do you
remember?Winnie responded: I remember.Josiah wrote: Then, we have to investigate and find
evidence. Thew will punish those whomit crimes. Even if they end up going to jail, they’ll have a
chance to start anew as long as they genuinely want to turn over a new leaf.After moments of silence,
Winnie replied: Yes. You are right. We should do this.Josiah texted: Yes. We. Winnie, it’s difficult to do
this to the person you love, but please know that we’re in this together. You’re not alone. I, Xavier, and
you are a team.Winnie replied: Okay.Then came Josiah’s reply: I would also like to remind you that
your granny might have been in contact with Stuart. You should keep an eye on her. I’m afraid that she
might leak the news to Stuart, and he’ll take the opportunity to escape.Winnie replied: I get it. I’ve
already installed a surveince device on her phone. I’ll know everything that she’s doing. There’s
nothing out of the ordinary at the moment.Josiah replied: Okay. I’ll send Xavier’s men to keep an eye
on Stuart. Oh, by the way, I investigated the guy who stalked me earlier and confirmed that he received
arge sum of money recently. Stuart gave it to him. Thus, my guess is correct. Stuart already knows
that we are investigating your granny. He definitely has more tricks up his sleeve other than trying to kill
Xavier using a flowerpot. Last time, Stuart pushed all the responsibility to Zyon and escaped
unpunished. We can’t let him escape this time!Winnie texted: All right. When the results are out, please
let me know. I’ll go and take a look at my granny.After sending that message, she walked to Jacinta’s
room.She had just exited her own room when she realized that the door to Jacinta’s room was wide
open, and the room was empty.“Granny?” Winnie immediately left the room and started searching for
her in the house.Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.
