Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 71

“I got stabbed in my stomach. Come give me a hand,” Xavier ordered.

The driver immediately did as instructed and swam toward Xavier, but since the surroundings were black as coal, he accidentally hit Winnie on his way to the latter.

Annoyed, Winnie made way for the driver and remained quietly in her spot while listening in on their conversation.

“Where’s Calvert? Did he not get thrown off the boat?” Xavier asked.

As it turned out, Calvert Wood was none other than the man in white Winnie had seen on the yacht. He was also the private detective Xavier had tasked to track down his “Dumbo.”

“He didn’t!” the driver thundered. “He was one the who hired the yacht and those men. Mr. Fairchild, do you think they’re in cahoots?”

“Ha! I can’t believe I’ve misjudged him,” Xavier scoffed.

“What a sc*mbag! Once we’re back on shore, I’ll get the police to arrest him,” the driver fumed. Right as he said that, a light suddenly shone in the distance.

A few seconds later, it went out and came back on again. That pattern continued three more times before the light stopped flashing altogether.

The driver was the first to break the silence. “Mr. Fairchild, that’s the signal from the bodyguard to board the fishing boat. We’re safe now!”

“Good. Let’s go, then.”

It took a few minutes, but the three of them eventually climbed on board the small fishing boat.
