Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

“We’re fine!” Xavier frowned and asked, “When you said Mr. Fairchild, did you mean Zyon?”

“Yes. Mr. Nate spotted him first. After that, two other housekeepers saw him as well. It was definitely Mr. Zyon.”

Hearing that, Xavier realized something.

With a frown, he turned toward Winnie and asked, “Could Zyon be the dark figure that Nate said was always following you?”

Winnie furrowed her brows and answered, “That’s highly possible. When I came over, Nate wasn’t following me anymore. I think he had gone after the dark figure. Coincidentally, Nate was the first to spot Zyon. In that case, Zyon was coming after me or even both of us too.”

Upon hearing Winnie’s analysis, Xavier’s frown deepened. “Besides us, Grandpa could be in danger as well!”

“Butler! Where’s Grandpa? Is he all right?” Xavier asked.

“He’s fine!” the butler answered confidently. “When I came out, Old Mr. Fairchild was still safe and sound. He even had security guards by his side. He was worried about you and Mrs. Fairchild, so he sent me here to check on you guys.”

“We’re fine. Let’s look for Grandpa now. Upon getting spotted, Zyon will either run away or do something crazy. Now, go to the surveillance room and check all the surveillance cameras,” Xavier instructed.

“Okay. I understand!” the butler agreed immediately. The few of them then went outside together.

While walking, Xavier asked the butler, “How’s Nate? Is someone with him? Are Uncle Jonathan and Aunt Beatrice there?”

“They were informed already. We’ve also called for an ambulance, and it’ll arrive in fifteen minutes at most. Furthermore, Mr. Nate was shot in the arm. He should be fine.”

Xavier grunted in acknowledgment. “That’s good.”

It was a big deal because the descendant of the Fraser family was shot and injured by the grandson of the Fairchild family in the Fairchild residence.

They arrived at the shooting scene fairly quickly.

It didn’t matter if they wanted to look for Rufus or Jacinta, they had to pass through the scene.

However, they heard buzzing sounds from above before they arrived at the scene.

Winnie frowned. “What are these?”

She wasn’t a fan of bugs and insects. It was dark, so she instinctively raised her hand and wanted to wave those bugs away.

Right before she did that, Xavier suddenly stopped her and pulled her into his embrace.

“Don’t move, Dumbo!” Xavier warned in a serious tone. With Winnie in his embrace, he quickly took two steps backward.

The butler took a closer look at the insects in the air and exclaimed in surprise, “These are hornets! How did so many hornets show up in the garden all of a sudden?”

“Hornets?” Winnie raised her head from Xavier’s embrace and looked closely. Instantly, she knew what she was looking at.

“These hornets are poisonous!” Winnie raised her gaze toward Xavier and said, “Fortunately, you stopped me! Otherwise, I might even end up in the ICU.”

“I’m just glad you’re all right!” Xavier frowned and looked at the butler again. “How did you guys not know there’s a hornet’s nest in the garden? I bet it was hidden all this while. There were two gunshots just now, so maybe one of the bullets ended up in the hornet’s nest. Tell everyone about it and tell them to be careful.”

The butler instantly agreed.
