Silly Bride

Chapter 65

move a little. Yet, Yulissa continued faking unconsciousness.Seeing that, Winnie twitched her lips and continued whispering into Yulissa’s ears, “It’s time to wake up, Ms. White. Guess what? The leader of the kidnappers admitted everything just now. He said this was all planned by you.” Yulissa’s eyelids moved a little, but she still did not wake up.Very well. Winnie straightened herself. She was curious to find out how long Yulissa could keep up with the act.Winnie then turned to Josiah. “By the way, could Mr. Fairchild be injected with a kind of drug? I think you should examine Ms. White as well. Who knows? She could’ve been injected, too.”As Winnie was saying that, she leaned over to roll up Yulissa’s sleeves.Finally, Yulissa’s eyes flew open.The injection marks on her arm were marks that had accumulated over the years. She would not be able to explain herself if Josiah discovered it and wanted to take her to the hospital to examine her body.After opening her eyes, she asked weakly, “Where… Where am I?”Winnie merely smiled and said nothing.Josiah explained, “Yulissa, you were rescued. We’re on the way to the hospital now.”“What about Xavier? How is he now?” Yulissa struggled to sit up and pretended to wince in pain as if she had accidentally touched her wound. “Ouch. My hand hurts. I-Is Xavier okay?”“Not really. He needs to be sent to the hospital right away. You should take care of your wound.”Tears streamed from Yulissa’s eyes, and she threw herself onto Xavier. “How could this happen? What did those kidnappers do to him? Oh, Xavier. I’m so sorry. You had to go through all this because of me. I’m so sorry.”Winnie was baffled, feeling utterly disgusted by the scene before her. Her acting skills are amazing. It’s a waste for her not to be a part of the entertainment industry.After arriving at the hospital for some time, Xavier showed no signs of consciousness, even after the IV drip had been refilled twice.Winnie was getting impatient. Thus, she got up and went to Josiah’s office.Josiah was arranging the reports at that time. He frowned when he saw her entering his office. “What is it?”Winnie went straight to the point. “When is he going to wake up? Can you give me a specific time?”Josiah adjusted his glasses. “A specific time? Excuse me, miss. Don’t you think you should give me an explanation first?”“What do you want to know?”Instead of answering her question, Josiah fixed his eyes on her and pushed a button on his phone. “Let her come in.”Not long after, a knock sounded on Josiah’s office door.“Come in,” Josiah responded briefly. He then reached out and removed Winnie’s mask.At the same time, the other person entered the room.Suddenly, there were two similar-looking women in the office.One of them was the real Paulina, while the other was Winnie, who was imitating the former.“I’m sorry, Dr. Houghton. I was blinded by money,” Paulina said awkwardly.“We’ll talk about you later.” With that, Josiah shifted his gaze to Winnie. “What do you have to say for yourself?”Winnie put the mask back on and said calmly, “Everything is as you’ve seen. I have nothing to explain. Besides, Xavier knows about it, too. He knows my objective in doing so. Xavier and I have an incomplete deal. I just
