Silly Bride

Chapter 66

Since he had already read her mind, Winnie felt that she should just tell him the truth. “Yes. It’s a little noisy here. But the next table’s food looks good. If you don’t mind, can we take away some food and eat somewhere else?”“I’m fine with it. Should we take a walk by the river, then?” Christopher asked cautiously. He felt as if he was on a date rather than having a secret meeting with his informant. At that thought, his heart raced uncontrollably.“Sure. A quieter place will make it easier for us to talk.”The river was a little far. An hour had already passed by the time they got their food and drove to the riverbank.They leaned against the car with the breeze brushing their faces while they ate and talked about the case.“There aren’t any leads yet. The statements given by Yulissa and the kidnappers were a match. Besides, they were questioned separately. So, there isn’t any reason for us to suspect them of working together,” Christopher explained.Winnie pursed her lips. “So, that means Yulissa, our one and only suspect in this case, had turned into a victim?”“You can put it that way.”Winnie said, “If that’s the case, I have a conjecture. I suspect this entire incident was planned by Yulissa and the leader of the kidnappers. The others are just extras.”Everything they saw and heard was exactly what Yulissa and their leader wanted. Unfortunately, their leader was dead, and Yulissa was unwilling to reveal anything. That meant there was no one else who could confirm the fact.Christopher nodded. “That’s what I thought as well, but the police have no evidence. Though we can lock her up on the charge of taking drugs, I don’t want to alert the enemies unnecessarily.”“That’s right. It’s too risky. I’m pretty sure Yulissa’s the one who made the injection mark on Xavier’s arm, but he’s already rescued by the police. Yulissa and Zyon won’t stop just like that. I’m sure they’ll plot more things that’ll expose themselves,” said Winnie.In the meantime, Yulissa’s finger was already reattached to her hand.However, the doctor told her the finger would not be as flexible as it was in the past, even though it was reattached.Though it was just an index finger, she hated Zyon for his actions.He made her pretend to be kidnapped, forced her to lure Xavier to the abandoned quarry, and injected Xavier with the drug.The truth was, there were many ways to lure Xavier. Yet, Zyon insisted on cutting off her finger, saying it was to teach her a lesson.The pain from her finger made her want to tear Zyon up into pieces. She cursed under her breath, “Zyon Fairchild! Just you wait. I’m going to make you rot in hell.”Right then, her phone rang.Upon lifting her phone, she realized it was a call from Zyon.She really feared that man, for he had almost tortured her to death several times.She did not dare to answer the phone. However, it kept ringing.In the end,
