Silly Bride

Chapter 362

extreme contempt and disappointment. “You’re really quite bold to be able to stay so calm and collected in the face of imminent danger, huh? I’m sure someone else would be so scared that they’d be peeing their pants if they were in your shoes right now. Ms. Vivian, do you even know what you’ve done? You’ve betrayed my trust and broken the rules. How dare you try to kill me with my own gun! That’s outrageous! Despite this, I still can’t help but admire you since I got to know you in Lightspring. That was why I trusted you enough to collaborate with you. Little did I expect you to blow up my factory and warehouse! Here, take a good look at this!” Harold grew increasingly emotional as he strode to Winnie. “Open your f*cking pretty eyes and take a good look at me! Look at my face! Look what you did to me!”Winnie glanced at his contorted and grotesque appearance and curled her mouth into a mocking smirk, a gesture that made it evident that she found his presence to be quite disagreeable.“Why? Are you expecting me to apologize? You look ugly now. Will you feel better if I apologize?”The provocation that came from her speech served only to intensify Harold’s wrath, causing his expression to become further distorted with rage.“Winnie Garland!” he hissed through gritted teeth. “You have a death wish!”“Whatever you say.” Winnie didn’t seem afraid at all. She looked him straight in the eye mockingly. “You have the gun, so just shoot me. Why aren’t you taking action? Do you need me to show you how it’s done?”Winnie grasped Harold’s wrist, guiding it so that the barrel of the gun was pointed directly at her stomach.Her lips curved up as she continued, “Just like how I fired at you earlier, shoot me until your bullets run out.”The icy coldness of the metal gun barrel seeped through the fabric of Winnie’s clothing, pressing firmly against her body.She shivered in response, feeling the chill of the metal even against the protection of the bulletproof vest that she wore.James had given her instructions to buy some time, so she was left with no other choice but to humor Harold’s requests.However, Winnie had heard three long and one short cricket sound.She knew this was Greta’s unique signal.Greta is here to help me. It had been around thirty seconds since she heard that signal, but Greta had yet to take action.Winnie realized that Greta was unable to act as she and Harold were standing in the wrong positions.Harold had crouched down when he approached Winnie and told her to look at his face.She had completely blocked Harold’s body.Right now, Greta was hiding somewhere behind them.Greta might be a skilled sniper, but Winnie doubted whether she could shoot Harold accurately given the current circumstances and situation.That was why she had lured Harold into shooting her and gripped his wrist.She tugged him backward, changing their positions effectively.Harold had no idea why Winnie did that, but he knew she was up to something.In fact, his fingers reacted faster than his brain. When Winnie tugged him backward, he immediately pulled the trigger again and again.Just as Winnie said, he wanted to fire away until he run out of bullets.However, he soon ran out of bullets after three rounds. The cartridge was empty.The second Winnie and Harold swapped places, Greta took aim at Harold with her sniper rifle and pulled the trigger.However, Greta had no idea Harold’s subordinate would suddenly rush out to help Harold.As a result, the bullet intended for Harold hit him.The subordinate’s body slumped heavily onto Harold, and a sickening sensation of warmth began to seep into Harold’s clothing as the man’s blood trickled into his collar. At that moment, Harold belatedly understood what had happened.He glowered at Winnie. “You tricked me again!”Winnie was wearing a bulletproof vest, so her skin remained unscathed. Nevertheless, the force of the bullets was still enough to leave her feeling sore and uncomfortable.She wasn’t bleeding, but the pain was so excruciating that it was difficult for her to stand up straight.Harold actually realized Winnie had donned a bulletproof vest the moment he fired the first shot, but he was too furious and ended up exhausting his bullets.Now, his gun was useless, and the police were behind them.He pounced on Winnie and used his gun to smack her head forcefully.He then pulled out a grenade from his subordinate’s corpse and tossed it over his shoulder.In an unexpected twist of fate, Greta found herself to be in the wrong place at the
