Silly Bride

Chapter 255

needed to care for Christopher.It did not help that she knew nothing about the toxin Yulissa had used. Winnie might be fine after inhaling a breath or two, but that was certainly not the case for Christopher.The space within the car was small, and soon, the gas filled the interior.No one but Yulissa had a gas mask on, so in seconds, the others passed out.Yulissa gave a kick at the man in the front passenger seat. Only after making sure that he was completely unresponsive did she wind down the window.As the gas went out of the car, Yulissa’s sight cleared up. Turning to look at the unconscious Winnie, she sneered. “That’ll teach you a lesson. You shouldn’t have fought with me. Did you think I came empty-handed?”I’m the granddaughter of a genius chemist. How can I not have some shred of chemistry knowledge myself?Then, Yulissa stepped on the accelerator and sped off.Winnie was awakened from getting shocked. Yet, right as she opened her eyes, she was forced to close them again by the harsh lights above her.It was so bright that she could not open her eyes again, but she could discern her current situation.Her ears were ringing. Her tongue and her limbs still felt tingly and numb. She deduced it was probably because of the gas she had inhaled in the car previously.Other than that, she also knew that she was currently suspended in the air. It would be impossible for her to escape like this.However, the one she was worried about most was not herself but Christopher.A beat later, she forced her eyes open to study her surroundings. Unfortunately, she saw no signs of Christopher nor Riley’s assistant around.She and Yulissa were the only ones in the windowless room.Winnie squinted at the expressionless Yulissa. As her tongue still felt numb, it took her much effort to voice out, “Where’s Christopher? How is he? Where did you take him to?”“Ha!” Yulissa snorted. “Winnie, don’t you know what kind of situation you’re in right now? You can barely keep yourself safe, but you’re still thinking about Christopher? Haha! What a selfless being you are. Why didn’t I know that you were such a magnanimous person before? I never saw you being merciful toward your father, stepmother, and stepsister back in the country, though. Or could it be that…”Yulissa ambled away from Winnie as she continued snickering. “Could it be that you’re so worried about Christopher because you have an affair with him?”“Yulissa!” Winnie whipped her head toward the other woman. “Stop your nonsense. I swear on my life that we saved your grandpa from Harold’s factory. I promise you that you’ll be able to see your grandpa, but Christopher’s condition is deteriorating! You can get a doctor here if that’s what you prefer, or you can send him to the hospital. Please!”“What?” Yulissa abruptly burst into laughter upon hearing Winnie’s words. Dramatically cupping her ears, she asked, “What did you just say? I didn’t hear that wrongly, did I? Are you actually begging me for something?”“Yes,” Winnie uttered as she kept her eyes fixed on Yulissa. “You didn’t hear that wrongly. I’m begging you. I’m begging you to save Christopher.”“Hahaha! Now, that’s interesting!” Yulissa laughed even more boisterously. “This is such an interesting thing, and it’s an event worth memorizing. Do wait a moment before you beg me again. It’s such a memorable event that I have to record it.”As Yulissa said that, she turned and left the room.When Yulissa opened the door and went out, Winnie noticed that there were stairs right outside the room.In other words, she was locked up in a basement.While Yulissa was not around, Winnie tugged the cuffs around her wrists tentatively.Alas, the cuffs were too tight, and she could not break free of them.After discovering that struggling was only a waste of her strength, Winnie stopped.Furthermore, Yulissa came back not long after.She had brought a tripod back. Once she fixed the phone to the tripod, she faced the camera at Winnie and turned on the recording function.“Come on.” After adjusting the angle, Yulissa beamed at Winnie. “You can start begging me now.”Winnie’s eyes flitted toward Yulissa. “Have you started recording? Before I begin begging, I need to make sure of something with you.”“You’re a troublesome one, but I’m in a good mood.” Yulissa chuckled. “When I’m in a good mood, I have a little more patience for you, so speak.”Winnie took in a deep breath. “I have no other requests but one. I just want to make sure
