Silly Bride

Chapter 263

because she was looking for a suitable angle. By then, she already had a rough grasp of the position where she and Big Black Bear stood.After purposefully miswriting a parameter to attract his attention, she shot her hand back and stabbed him with the pen.While her blow wasn’t fatal, the tip of the pen punctured his throat unerringly.Never had Big Black Bear expected the woman before him to actually turn the tables and injure him with a mere pen.As the wound was at his throat, he couldn’t even shout. He could only make some low and unintelligible sounds.Following her success, Winnie continued striking while the iron was hot. She took out a towel from the drawer. Holding her breath, she poured the bottle of “white wine” on the table onto the towel.In truth, it was no white wine. Instead, it was a bottle of colorless and transparent ether.After knocking Big Black Bear out, she whipped out a lighter and went to a corner of the wall.The two crates of wine Leandro sent over previously were all there. Taking two bottles out, she poured the rest of the wine over the curtains and furniture before lighting the curtains on fire.When she had done all that, she climbed out the window with the remaining two bottles and left.By the time the men keeping watch outside and Leandro noticed something amiss, her room was already ablaze.The instant Leandro saw the fire, he stood frozen on the spot.He suddenly found himself foolish beyond belief.She was the one who set Harold’s lab on fire. She even managed to play a fool of someone like him; yet, I thought I could subdue her! He was so livid that steam was coming out of his ears. “D*mn it! Go and get that woman! No matter what, you’re to catch her! I want to cut her into a million pieces and feed her to the wolves! Why are you still spacing out? Hurry up and give chase!”But not long after he had given that order, he received another piece of bad news all out of the blue—his warehouse was on fire.All my stock and raw materials are in that warehouse, but that woman actually set fire to it all!The warehouse meant everything to him. At the end of the day, he could give up killing Winnie, but he couldn’t possibly give his warehouse up.Therefore, he hastily called back everyone he sent out to pursue her. Right then, they all worked to extinguish the fire to the best of their abilities to minimize the losses.Winnie had made preparations ages ago. After she had set two fires consecutively, especially the one at the warehouse, almost everyone in the entire Zeller residence was dispatched to put the fire out. Only the guard at the gate remained at his post.That granted her a smooth journey all the way to the doghole. In fact, it was far easier than when she escaped from Harold’s place.Aware that Leandro had no extra manpower to pursue her, she didn’t slip
