Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

He then shot her a displeased look as he exclaimed, “Do you not see how she has been treating me like a criminal? She’s your granny. I can’t just ignore her now, can I?”

Winnie broke into a faint smile. “Wow! You’re being considerate? This isn’t like you at all!”

Furrowing his brows, the man replied sternly, “As I said, she’s your granny. She wouldn’t be receiving such special treatment otherwise.”

“Not bad. I suppose you do know what’s good for you, after all,” Winnie said with a smile as she swept her gaze around the study.

Apart from books that lined the shelves, there were also lots of expensive paintings, antiques, and artworks in the study.

Upon noticing her glancing about, Xavier decided to tease her. “Find something you like? You can have it for free.”

Winnie shook her head. “No, thanks.” I could easily obtain any of these items if I wanted to. I don’t need him giving them to me.

Eventually, her gaze fell upon the safety deposit box in the corner of the room.

This was not her first time being in the study, though.

She had searched the place thoroughly when looking for her badge the other day, but she could not get the safe open.

Xavier frowned slightly when he saw her staring at the safe. “Oh, you can’t have that. It contains Fairchild Corporation’s confidential documents.”

Hearing that, Winnie knitted her brows. If this safe is mainly for storing valuable items, then it’s unlikely for him to keep my badge in there. It was something he had randomly picked up, so he doesn’t even know what it represents.

With that in mind, Winnie asked him directly, “Where’s my badge? It’s not here, is it? When can you give it back to me?”

Her badge? Xavier froze for a moment upon hearing that.

Had she not mentioned it, he would not have thought about it at all.

However, the badge was still with Yulissa, and he could not retrieve it, as he was still faking his death.

“It should be in the office. I’ll go get it after I’ve taken care of this. It’s not convenient for me to do so just yet.”

“All right.” Winnie nodded before continuing, “How are things progressing on your end? We managed to trick Zyon after our little act with Old Mr. Fairchild. He hasn’t caught on, has he? What do you plan on doing next?”

“Zyon is still in the dark, and they’re making their move as we speak. This time, we’ll be able to expose all of those with ill intentions. They’ve always been cautious and conservative in the past, but now, they’re acting boldly without a care in the world.”

“They have no idea they’re about to screw themselves over. Still, people can do some pretty crazy stuff when pushed to desperation, so you need to be more careful,” Winnie said after giving it some thought.
