Silly Bride

Chapter 359

realized that Winnie had tricked him!He instinctively reached up to feel for his earpiece, but there was nothing in his ear.When he realized that his earpiece was missing, his mind immediately went to the parting kiss Winnie had given him.He clearly remembered that she had lightly caressed his ear when she pressed her lips to his.Xavier was at a loss. “Winnie…”How could she do this? How could she?Snapping back to his senses, Xavier did not care about the route he had taken to get here and just headed back in a straight line.As he waded through the forest, he called Winnie’s phone.She didn’t plan on answering, but she couldn’t hold herself back in the end.“Xavier.”Nothing could get through to him now. He growled deeply, “Stop! Stop whatever you’re doing right now, Winnie. You said you would wait for me at the same spot! You lied to me again!”Winnie replied in a low voice, “Xavier, it’s my turn to protect you this time. Please allow me to do so.” “I don’t need your protection! I’m also not giving you a f*cking chance to. Stop it! Stop this right now! Just stop!”“No, I don’t want to.” Winnie didn’t listen to him. Instead, she chuckled lightly and asked, “Xavier, have I ever told you I love you?”“Shut up!” Xavier didn’t want to listen to a thing. His mind was racing, and his heart was in emotional turmoil. “It’s fine even if you don’t love me. Let’s talk face-to-face. I don’t want to talk about this over the phone. Do you hear me, Winnie? Stay right where you are, and don’t go anywhere!”Winnie clicked her tongue. “Do you think I’m that much of an obedient person? I do love you. Xavier, I love you.”With that, she hung up the phone.Xavier tried calling again, but no one answered.Yes, she has never told me that she loves me. This was the first time I’d ever heard those words from her. But so what? I just want to keep her by my side.Xavier felt like he was going insane with worry. However, he knew that it was times like this that he had to remain calm.He forced himself not to think about what might happen and focused on analyzing the situation.From the conversation they had, he was confident that Winnie did not stop advancing.As she made no sound while she was walking, it meant that she was moving at a very slow pace.If that was the case, it was entirely possible for him to catch up to her if he hurried.Winnie stopped in her tracks and was currently bargaining with Harold.She sent him a text: I’m sure you’re aware there are people in the chemical plant right now. They’re no ordinary people. If you make me go in like this, I will die at their hands immediately, even if you give them a hand. Did you go through all that trouble to get your revenge just to see me die at someone else’s hands?Harold’s reply came quickly: And here I thought you weren’t afraid of death. Guess I was wrong. But what you said makes sense. If you were to die at someone else’s hands, then this little game of revenge between us wouldn’t be fun anymore. I’ve changed my mind. Don’t enter through the front door. Go around the side and locate the boiler room. I’ll be waiting for you there. To be honest, I didn’t want this game of ours to end so quickly, but I’ve gotten some new business at the last minute. Otherwise, I will send you the corpses of the people you care about to give you a good scare. The first one would be Mason. But it’s a pity that he managed to escape. The second one would be Lisanne. However, I didn’t expect her to be with the police. I can’t do anything to her like this. In any case, I’m really looking forward to meeting you, dear Winnie. Come to me as soon as possible! I can’t wait any further!Winnie frowned as she finished reading Harold’s text. Then, she carefully placed her hand on the side of the chemical plant.She took each step with the utmost caution and even took off her shoes to avoid making noise.It was at that moment a tin can fell from the sky and landed right in front of her.Although it didn’t hit her, the sound it produced upon landing on the ground reverberated throughout the place.She knew that the sound would definitely alert the terrorists, so she immediately ducked to the side and started looking for a place to hide.Before she could react, a signal flare suddenly lit up in her direction.Her surroundings became as bright as daylight in an instant.With the help of the bright light, Winnie saw
