Silly Bride

Chapter 136

inside the pitch-dark house.Winnie hurriedly shone the flashlight on her phone toward the corner where the noise was coming from.“Is that you, Xavier?” Winnie asked anxiously.However, no one in the room responded, but there seemed to be something moving in a corner.Just by looking at the figure, it was very similar to a human body figure.Furrowing her eyebrows, Winnie turned around and said to the security guard, “Follow me, and shine the light ahead for me as well.”“Okay!” In truth, the security guard was quite nervous, but fortunately, he was not alone, so he was not so afraid anymore.However, before they could reach the corner, a crackling sound could be heard in the room, similar to the sound of an electrical current.At the same time, the security guard let out a scream but soon lost his voice as he was knocked out by a taser, collapsing onto the ground with a thud.Winnie was quick to react. Realizing the security guard was attacked by someone hiding inside the house, she did not bother whether the attacker was Xavier or someone else.She then turned around and ran toward the door. Considering the situation, Winnie must first ensure her own safety.Just as she opened the door, Winnie was confronted by an old, sinister face, smiling creepily at her.In an instant, a stun baton was pressed against Winnie’s tummy.Soon, a surge of electricity ran through her limbs, and she quickly lost consciousness.Before she collapsed to the ground, Winnie recognized the person who had attacked her with a stun baton. It was actually the old lady who led her to that place!Smack!The other person in the room turned on the lights.Under the dim lights, the shabby and dilapidated room revealed its entire interior.Aside from the security guard and Winnie, who were knocked out respectively, there was indeed someone else lying in the corner of the room. That person was Xavier.Seeing all three of them lying on the ground, a woman wearing a black baseball cap and holding a stun gun could not resist sneering at them.As she held the stun gun in her hand, the woman exclaimed to herself, “This thing works so well. Why hadn’t I thought of this before?”As she spoke, the woman removed her cap and revealed her true self.She was actually Yulissa!In fact, she had come for Winnie that day.Seeing Winnie being ridiculously hyped up by the press, Yulissa felt compelled to drag Winnie from heaven to the dark abyss.Yulissa had spent the whole day getting ready near the park.However, since Winnie was Garland Group’s main star for their fiftieth-anniversary celebration, it was pretty hard to get close to her.Just then, Yulissa eavesdropped on a phone conversation between Xavier and Josiah.At that time, she happened to be near Xavier. She saw that the latter became enraged and destroyed his phone. He also failed to follow through on his promise to Josiah to go to the hospital.After giving it some thought, Yulissa decided to abduct Xavier.At that time, Xavier’s emotions had gotten the better of him. Using Winnie as bait, Yulissa succeeded in bringing Xavier here.Furthermore, Yulissa’s guess was right. Josiah immediately asked Winnie for help after he couldn’t get in touch with Xavier.As expected, Winnie did come looking for him, and she was tricked by an old lady who was picking up trash nearby to go to them.In truth, it wasn’t actually a lie. After all, Xavier was really lying unconscious inside the house.Unfortunately, Winnie was incapable of taking him away.Yulissa’s purpose that day was very clear, and that was to use up all the venom she had left.Yulissa had asked the old lady working for her to keep an eye on things outside the house while she opened a small silver briefcase.There were a few dozen syringes loaded with venom inside the briefcase.As she took out a syringe from the briefcase, Yulissa walked straight toward Winnie.However, she did not notice Xavier, who was behind her, had opened his eyes.Even though both his eyes were still very red, the manic and anxious effect in his body had gradually calmed down, which was probably due to the electric shock Yulissa gave him beforehand.Xavier was in a daze when he regained consciousness.Aside from being unable to recall what happened previously, he didn’t know why he was there.His memory was still stuck at the point in time when he avoided Winnie and went to call Josiah.But I was just making a phone call. How on earth did I end up here?Xavier rubbed his forehead as he slowly sat up. Just then, he saw Winnie, who was lying on the ground.What is Dumbo doing here as well? Why is there a woman walking toward her with a syringe in her hand? Is she trying to harm Dumbo right in front of me?
