Silly Bride

Chapter 296

“What are you talking about? You’re just being foolish. If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t even need to do this. Besides, my friend doesn’t like strangers, so it’s better that I go alone this time. I’ll introduce you at the next opportunity.Giving Xavier no room to argue, Winnie grabbed her bag and left.Meanwhile, in a café opposite Livingsfill Physics Research Center, Lisanne had already ordered coffee by the time Winnie arrived.She was Lucas’ fraternal twin and shared a close relationship with Winnie.After greeting each other, Winnie sat down opposite her.“Lisanne, why did you come so early?” Winnie glanced at her watch. “I came ten minutes earlier on purpose, and from the looks of it, you have probably been here longer than that.”“I just came out to get some air.” Beset by problems recently, Lisanne looked visibly haggard. “It’s just too suffocating inside the research center. Also, the sudden passing of one of the professors has brought a sense of gloom to the office. By the way, I’ve taken the liberty to order you coffee.”“Thank you.” While stirring her coffee, Winnie explained, “Actually, I’m aware of the matter, and technically speaking, I’m here somewhat because of it.”“What?” Lisanne was taken aback. “Are you saying Professor Houlter’s death has something to do with you? You’re scaring me.”“No!” Winnie felt nonplussed. “You’re overthinking it. Actually…”Winnie related everything about Xavier’s challenge and all the latter’s efforts to Lisanne.Upon hearing the story, Lisanne’s eyes widened in disbelief.
