Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 149

Winnie neither retaliated nor resisted and in spite of those exceptional circumstances, she was able to maintain her extraordinary sense of composure.

“May I know what offense I am guilty of, officer? Why go to all that trouble to prevent me from boarding the plane?”

“Are you Winnie Garland, the chairperson of Garland Group? Were you planning to depart Chanaea for Yartran?” asked the police officer sternly.

Winnie affirmed that with a nod, “I am. But I don’t think that is the reason I’m being detained now, is it?”

Astounded by that young woman’s poise at first, the officer promptly followed up, “We’ve received a tip-off accusing you of possession and transportation of illegal substances, so we must ask for your cooperation with our investigations.”

That yielded a frown from Winnie, for the fact that she was bringing samples of drugs across the borders to Yartran was a matter of great discretion. The only ones who were in the know about that were Josiah, Louis, and herself. Even Xavier had been kept out of the loop.

Thus, it was puzzling to her that the police had received a tip-off from the public about that. Who is it, exactly? And what grudge does that person have against me? Surely, it can’t be Josiah or Louis, right?

“Thank you for sharing the facts with me, officer. I am, however, a cautious person, so I must insist on seeing some form of identification. Otherwise, I would be inclined to believe that someone might be looking to set me up.”

“Certainly!” This time, there were a total of five police officers present. The group consisted of the two who were restraining her arms from either side and the three others who stood apart from them.

The one who she assumed to be their captain duly produced his identification card as requested, and the verification of the card’s authenticity got Winnie’s brow bunched up into an even tighter furrow.

“Satisfied now? Take her away!”

“Very well. I’ll come with you.”

The police acted quickly to remove her from the scene in a bid to minimize disruption to the public.
