Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 150

“Frankly speaking, I have no idea.” Josiah frowned. “Look, why don’t you try approaching this from a different angle? This is the age of big data, so it isn’t difficult at all if someone really wants to track your movements. What baffles me is how he even managed to find out about the two vials of samples that are inside your briefcase.”

“Correct.” Winnie’s eyes narrowed to a slit. “How exactly was this person able to nail down my movements undetected is something worth questioning in itself.”

“You don’t say. An unseen enemy is definitely a bigger threat than one in the open. Since neither of us has any idea who that person is nor where he is holed up at, that’s pretty scary to me.” Josiah then hypothesized, “Could it be someone who is opposed to you from within Garland Group itself?”

Winnie shook her head. “I can’t be sure, but we should be able to trace it back to wherever the trail leads us.”

“Huh?” Josiah was somewhat surprised. “By the way you describe it, it seems you already got a hold of the situation. Have you already set a trap for that person? Didn’t you have no clue whatsoever to work with, for starters? How did you manage to figure that out?”

Brimming with confidence, Winnie chuckled. “What happened back at the airport seems to have been staged beforehand, and whoever set that up was just waiting for me to show up at the boarding gate. While everything was going down, I noticed that someone was filming me. Instead of a phone that other people would normally use, a professional-grade camera was employed. Therefore, by looking into the high-resolution video feeds that are being broadcast online, we should be able to pick some bits and pieces as to who the culprit might be.”

“That’s brilliant!” Josiah was simply blown away. “You’re just unbelievably sharp. It’s no wonder you were able to snag the whole of Garland Group by simply pretending to be mentally impaired.”

Winnie fell silent before she broke into a guffaw. “Is that supposed to be a compliment or a dig at me?”

“A compliment, of course,” replied Josiah cheerfully. “Considering how amazing you are, I’m actually kind of worried the hospital that my family runs could wind up being named after you in less than a few days.”

Winnie laughed, tickled by Josiah’s words. “Relax. I don’t have any interest in the healthcare industry, at least for now.”

The pair continued their banter, and the tense atmosphere within the car quickly diffused into a chirpy one.

That was when Josiah tried to channel the conversation back on track. “What happens next? When is the next scheduled flight, and should I drop you off at the airport right now?”

“There’s no need for that.” Winnie loosened up and leaned back in her seat. “I’ve already looked it up. There aren’t any more direct flights scheduled for today. A transit flight would require double the travel time and is also inefficient cost-wise.”
