Silly Bride

Chapter 206

as he was about to take a step forward and pull her into his embrace, Jacinta’s voice came from inside the house.“Winnie, why aren’t you coming in yet?”Winnie instantly answered, “Oh, I’m coming.”It was only then the two reluctantly parted.When Winnie entered the house and closed the door behind her, she noticed that Jacinta was no longer in the room. As it turned out, the elderly woman was washing clothes in the bathroom.Jacinta was rubbing the bloodstain on the sleeve when Winnie entered.Once she saw Winnie enter, she explained, “It reeks of alcohol, so I’m washing it. The wind is strong tonight, so if I hang it up in the corridor, you’ll be able to wear it the next morning.”“Let me help you wash it, Granny. You were frightened earlier today, so it’s best for you to rest earlier.”“It’s fine,” Jacinta insisted. “I’m almost done washing. They have a clean bathrobe in the room cabinet, so get a piece out and start washing up.”Winnie did not think much about it. By the time she brought the bathrobe and towel over, Jacinta was already done washing the thin long-sleeved shirt.The two of them then lay down on the bed and began talking about how Zyon had fired a gun and committed arson.All of a sudden, Jacinta asked, “I remember you installing a camera at the hot spring and even installed some kind of application on your phone the last time we were looking for people here. Didn’t you hack the Fairchild family’s surveillance system too? Will your phone be able to see what the Fairchild family’s cameras recorded?”Winnie hummed in agreement. “Yes, but my phone broke after it went for a dip in the ocean, and after I changed to a new phone, I didn’t install the application again. What’s the matter, Granny? Why did you suddenly mention that?”“Nothing. I just think that Zyon’s too dangerous. If only we can see the Fairchilds’ surveillance cameras. Honestly, I don’t trust the Fairchilds at all. They’re all in cahoots, and maybe someone will try to stir up a ruckus soon!”Jacinta still felt that the entire Fairchild family was unreliable.Winnie let out a wry chuckle when she heard that.“Granny, I think you’re overthinking this. Zyon can barely keep himself safe now. If he wants to be in league with the people in this house, he’ll have to fork out something in return for it. But he doesn’t have anything now, so who will do anything for him? Moreover, not only did he hurt Old Mr. Fairchild’s grandson, but he even wanted to burn Old Mr. Fairchild and the rest of the people in the Fairchild residence alive. Things are already so bad between him and the others. Moreover, the people in this house aren’t stupid. Even if someone did secretly help him out earlier, they’re either pretending to know nothing about it now or getting ready to flee. How can they possibly continue causing trouble?”Jacinta mulled over her words for a while.“I think you’re right. I just want to know whether or not Zyon has been caught… Why don’t you ask Xavier about it?”Winnie was confused by Jacinta’s question.“Granny, why are you so concerned about this matter? Though, I doubt they’ve found him. If they’d found him, Xavier would have told me about it. By the way, I installed the application on your phone the other time too, but I forgot to remove it later on. If you log in again, you’ll be able to watch the surveillance footage in real-time.”“What? The one on my phone?” Jacinta scoured through her memories. “I’ve long deleted it. I didn’t know something like this would happen.”Winnie solemnly commented. “Oh, that’s good too. Frankly, it’s illegal for us to watch someone else’s surveillance cameras. Deleting it is a good choice. At least we’ll be in less trouble. But if my memory serves me right, the house we’re in is facing east. The surveillance cameras there are older and have not come with infrared rays. If it’s too dark at night, I’m afraid the cameras won’t be able to get a clear record of the people.”If Zyon had gone through the house eastward earlier, the surveillance cameras might not have captured him. However, he might not have been aware of that. After all, not even Xavier noticed such details. “I see.” Jacinta let out a sigh of relief in the dark. “Xavier still has no news of him, so it looks like Zyon has coincidentally gone east.”Winnie knitted her brows. “I hope he doesn’t have such good luck.”“Well, let’s forget about him and get our good night’s sleep. Everything will be fine as long as he doesn’t come back here.” Jacinta turned and yawned. “I’m so sleepy.”“Sleep, then.”Two hours later, Winnie fell deeply asleep.Unbeknownst to her, while she was sound asleep, Jacinta abruptly sat upright and turned on her phone to delete a surveillance camera application.She had been studying the Fairchild family’s surveillance system for a long time, and she knew the exact locations in the residence that the cameras would not be able to get a clear record of at night.The next morning, Xavier personally sent Winnie and Jacinta back.They sat in a limousine. Winnie and Jacinta took the seats in the first row at the back.Xavier
