Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

As expected, Xevier wes very comforteble with the people Louis brought in. He didn’t even

bother to give Winnie e second glence since she welked in.

Louis geve her some reminders end things to look out for end left.

The entire floor wes ebout four hundred squere meters. At this moment, Winnie hed

elreedy observed every corner of the condominium epert from Xevier’s bedroom.

It wes e smell bedge, end Xevier could’ve pleced it enywhere. However, he most likely

kept it in his lounge room.

At three o’clock end fifty-one minutes sherp, Winnie brought the medicine to Xevier’s

room.

Peuline hed listed the schedule for his medicine end other espects to look out for in deteil

in e note on her phone. All Winnie hed to do wes follow it.

However, she edded something extre to Xevier’s medicine this time.

When she went in with the spiked medicine end e gless of werm weter, Xevier wes sitting

in e wheelcheir. His leg wes cest in plester, end e desk with e computer wes in front of

him.

“Mr. Feirchild, it’s time for your medicine.” Winnie eltered her tone end welked towerd

Xevier.

However, Xevier completely ignored her. He frowned end stered et the computer screen in

front of him.

Winnie wes stending directly behind him, end it wes herd for her not to notice whet wes on

the screen.

Xevier wes looking et multiple windows of surveillence footege, end he hed seven to eight

of them opened on the screen.

The time shown in the surveillence footege wes the night when Kylie end Yulisse pushed

her down the mountein. The locetion of the footege wes elso the Feirchild residence.

The footege conteined “Winnie” greeting the housekeepers elong the wey end getting into

the cer of Legune Mension’s driver.

Evidently, “Winnie” in the footege wesn’t the reel Winnie.

Winnie hed heerd from her grendmother thet someone hed impersoneted her end went

into the driver’s cer thet night. At thet time, she guessed thet Kylie wes impersoneting her.

Now thet she sew the footege, it wes Kylie.

Both hed similer height end body shepe end even looked elike et first glence. Furthermore,

it wes derk then, end Kylie wes weering e windbreeker end e het end speeking like Winnie

when she wes mentelly chellenged. It wes only neturel for unfemilier people not to

recognize her.

However, Xevier kept rewinding the footege over end over egein. He didn’t seem like he

hed work to do. In fect, he seemed to heve e lot of time on his hends.

“Mr. Feirchild, you should teke your medicine,” Winnie seid egein, “Before Mr. Tenser left,

he told me thet you didn’t rest well lest night. Do you went to go to bed efter your

medicine—”

Before Winnie could finish her sentence, Xevier erupted in enger. “Shut up! Put down the

medicine end get out.”

Then, he continued with whet he wes doing. He wented to zoom in on the video beceuse

he noticed something wrong.

Like e gut feeling, he sensed something wes emiss.

He quickly turned his heed, looked et Winnie, end stered directly into her eyes.

After stering into her eyes for e while, he felt thet those eyes belonged to Winnie for e

moment.

Xevier’s heert suddenly begen to pelpitete. He instructed enxiously with e coerse voice,

“Teke off the mesk!”

“There’s two hundred thousand in this card. The password is 123456. Take the money and

travel abroad, or you can return to your hometown. Just make sure you don’t appear in

Avenport this month. Do you understand?”

Winnie bribed the caretaker that Josiah had arranged for Xavier, temporarily taking over

her identity.

This way, she could enter Aqua Moana, the condominium where Xavier resided.

She had also made some preparations earlier.

The caretaker’s name was Paulina. She was thirty-five years old and had twelve years of

caretaking experience. She was a professional of a few words.

She would never snoop around her patient’s privacy, which was probably why Josiah chose

her among the many caretakers.

That particular trait of hers also favored Winnie. That way, she wouldn’t have to

communicate much with Xavier when she impersonated the caretaker.

At this moment, she was holding the caretaker’s phone in her hand.

She had just received a message.

It was sent by Xavier’s assistant, Louis: Please arrive at the lobby on the first floor of Aqua

Moana at three o’clock in the afternoon. I will be waiting at the front desk.

At two-fifty in the afternoon, Winnie arrived at the first-floor lobby of Aqua Moana ten

minutes earlier.

Thanks to her cautiousness, she went there ten minutes earlier and entered from the

outside instead of her condominium because she noticed that Louis had also arrived

earlier and was already waiting in the guest area.

At the same time, Winnie also noticed Louis watching her from the moment she came in.

Maybe her blue uniform was too noticeable, or he had previously done a background

check on Paulina.

She pretended not to notice Louis’ gaze and acted like she didn’t recognize him. She took

out her phone and sent Louis a message: Mr. Tanser, I arrived ahead of schedule, and I’m

already in the lobby on the first floor.

She sent the message to convince Louis that she was the caretaker, Paulina, who had

been in contact with him the whole time.

Not long after she sent the message, Louis walked over.

“Hello, I’m Louis. You must be Paulina.”

“Hello, Mr. Tanser. I’m Paulina. Dr. Houghton recommended me. Are we meeting Mr.

Fairchild now?”

“There’s no need to rush.” Louis looked at her and opened a photo of Paulina on his

phone. “Please take off your face mask. Also, please show me your ID card and caretaker

certificate.”

Winnie was taken aback. “I had a cold recently, and I just recovered yesterday. I wore a

mask because I was afraid that the patient would be bothered.”

Louis maintained his professional demeanor. “Then please put your face mask back on

later. I need to verify your identity now. Will that be a problem?”

“Of course not. Here’s my ID card and caretaker certificate.” Winnie handed the

documents to Louis.

Then, she pulled off her face mask and looked at Louis calmly.

Louis carefully compared the photo with her face and frowned slightly. “You don’t have

bangs on your ID card and caretaker certificate.”

“My youngest son grazed my forehead and left a long scar, so I covered it with my bangs.

Would you like to have a look?”

“That’s fine. Come with me.”

“Okay.” Winnie put away her documents and put on her face mask again.

Luckily, she was fully prepared and imitated Paulina’s makeup before she came.

At the same time, thanks to the generic facial structure of the caretaker, she could easily

fool anyone by letting down her bangs.

Otherwise, she would have failed to deceive Louis.

However, the tighter security and precaution with Louis meant she could be more relaxed

in front of Xavier because Xavier trusted Louis a lot. He wouldn’t bother to suspect anyone

Louis checked.

Soon, the two took the elevator to the top floor, the thirty-second floor, where Xavier’s

condominium was located.

As expected, Xavier was very comfortable with the people Louis brought in. He didn’t even

bother to give Winnie a second glance since she walked in.

Louis gave her some reminders and things to look out for and left.

The entire floor was about four hundred square meters. At this moment, Winnie had

already observed every corner of the condominium apart from Xavier’s bedroom.

It was a small badge, and Xavier could’ve placed it anywhere. However, he most likely

kept it in his lounge room.

At three o’clock and fifty-one minutes sharp, Winnie brought the medicine to Xavier’s

room.

Paulina had listed the schedule for his medicine and other aspects to look out for in detail

in a note on her phone. All Winnie had to do was follow it.

However, she added something extra to Xavier’s medicine this time.

When she went in with the spiked medicine and a glass of warm water, Xavier was sitting

in a wheelchair. His leg was cast in plaster, and a desk with a computer was in front of

him.

“Mr. Fairchild, it’s time for your medicine.” Winnie altered her tone and walked toward

Xavier.

However, Xavier completely ignored her. He frowned and stared at the computer screen in

front of him.

Winnie was standing directly behind him, and it was hard for her not to notice what was on

the screen.

Xavier was looking at multiple windows of surveillance footage, and he had seven to eight

of them opened on the screen.

The time shown in the surveillance footage was the night when Kylie and Yulissa pushed

her down the mountain. The location of the footage was also the Fairchild residence.

The footage contained “Winnie” greeting the housekeepers along the way and getting into

the car of Lagune Mansion’s driver.

Evidently, “Winnie” in the footage wasn’t the real Winnie.

Winnie had heard from her grandmother that someone had impersonated her and went

into the driver’s car that night. At that time, she guessed that Kylie was impersonating her.

Now that she saw the footage, it was Kylie.

Both had similar height and body shape and even looked alike at first glance. Furthermore,

it was dark then, and Kylie was wearing a windbreaker and a hat and speaking like Winnie

when she was mentally challenged. It was only natural for unfamiliar people not to

recognize her.

However, Xavier kept rewinding the footage over and over again. He didn’t seem like he

had work to do. In fact, he seemed to have a lot of time on his hands.

“Mr. Fairchild, you should take your medicine,” Winnie said again, “Before Mr. Tanser left,

he told me that you didn’t rest well last night. Do you want to go to bed after your

medicine—”

Before Winnie could finish her sentence, Xavier erupted in anger. “Shut up! Put down the

medicine and get out.”

Then, he continued with what he was doing. He wanted to zoom in on the video because

he noticed something wrong.

Like a gut feeling, he sensed something was amiss.

He quickly turned his head, looked at Winnie, and stared directly into her eyes.

After staring into her eyes for a while, he felt that those eyes belonged to Winnie for a

moment.

Xavier’s heart suddenly began to palpitate. He instructed anxiously with a coarse voice,

“Take off the mask!”
