Silly Bride

Chapter 332

she did not uncover any useful information from the surveillance footage as well. All the cameras merely captured Jacinta moving around by herself.Winnie knew it was impossible for her to get hold of other surveillance footage that could have tracked Jacinta’s movement beyond the residential area. Even if she was to engage the help of professional hackers, she would need some time to contact them and get the task done.Just as she was about to make a call to ask for help, she received a call from Rufus.Winnie immediately picked up the call. “Yes, Grandpa Rufus? What’s up?”Rufus did not respond to her question. Instead, he asked, “Where are you, Winnie? Are you still at the hospital?”“No, I’m already home.” A frowning Winnie added, “What’s wrong?”Solemnly, Rufus said, “You have gone home? I’m sure you don’t see your granny around, right?”“That’s right! How did you know?” Winnie was surprised.“She’s here with me.”“What?” Winnie exclaimed in shock. “You’re not kidding me, are you, Grandpa Rufus? Did she call you before she went over? What’s going on?”“She’s here at the Fairchild residence.” “O-Okay… I’m coming over now.” Winnie was still in disbelief. She thought Jacinta would go to Stuart, so it never crossed her mind that her grandmother would head to the Fairchild residence to look for Rufus instead.As she was heading out, she asked with concern, “Grandpa Rufus, my granny didn’t do anything bad to you, did she? Whatever she may have done, please do not get mad. Just keep her confined, and we’ll work it out when I get there, okay?”Rufus readily agreed and said, “No problem. I’ll wait for you to get here. Don’t worry, Winnie. Your granny didn’t harm me, and I’m not out to hurt her either.”“Great! Thank you, Grandpa Rufus!” Winnie gratefully said as she got into her car.After she ended the call with Rufus and started her engine to drive off, another call came in. It was Josiah.“How did it go? Is there any useful information from the surveillance footage?” he asked.“No, but Grandpa Rufus called me a while ago and told me Granny is at the Fairchild residence,” Winnie informed as she drove.“Oh?” Josiah was taken aback too. “We just came from the Fairchild residence! Never thought your granny would head there! I hope she didn’t give them any trouble.”“No, she didn’t. I’ve asked Grandpa Rufus to wait for me so we can work it out together.”“Let me join you there! The ambulance met me midway and took over from there, so Mary is on her way to the hospital with the emergency workers.” Josiah paused briefly before adding, “By the way, the result of the DNA test is out, and I’ve seen the report. Indeed, Jacinta and Stuart are related. They’re mother and son.”Winnie fell silent for a moment before saying, “Okay. I’ve expected it to be so.”Following another pause, she said, “I’ll probably reach in about half an hour. What about you?”“I’ll reach in less than twenty minutes, so I’ll wait for you,” Josiah replied.Half an hour later, Winnie arrived at the Fairchild residence.Josiah was already waiting for her at the gate, so the two of them immediately drove in.When they entered Rufus’ study, they saw Jacinta sitting quietly on the chair. It was apparent that she was being kept in place by the two men behind her.As promised, Rufus and his men did not hurt her.Winnie couldn’t help but feel despondent when she saw Jacinta.Despite having mentally prepared herself on her way there, Winnie still could not maintain her composure when she saw Jacinta in person. As a mere mortal, it was impossible for her to be in full control of her emotions all the time.“Granny, do you know how much blood Mary was losing? If I had reached her a little later, she could have died. What happened to you? How could you betray her trust and harm an innocent soul? Did you do that because of Stuart?” Winnie tried hard to maintain her calm as she confronted Jacinta.“Are you going to just sit there quietly? Why did you even come here if you don’t
