Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Instead, he preferred natural beauties without any makeup.

For that reason, she didn’t apply any makeup after selecting her outfit. She merely gathered her hair up and pinned it to the back of her head with a hairpin.

Although her hairstyle was simple, that hairpin was anything but.

Like the necklace around her neck, it was customized and could be turned into a sharp, deadly weapon when one was in danger.

After doing all that, she promptly opened the door and strode out.

At that moment, the woman outside was smoking. When she saw Winnie stepping out of the room, she swiftly tossed the cigarette butt away.

She initially wanted to snub it out, but she could no longer take her eyes off Winnie once her gaze alighted on the latter.

She stared at Winnie blankly for a long while before she remembered that she hadn’t snubbed the cigarette out and hastily stomped on it a few times.

Grinning from ear to ear, she said to Winnie, “I knew you were a stunning beauty the second I saw you, but you always wore long dresses, so it was too conservative. It was a waste of your stellar figure. Look at you now! You’re breathtaking with just a change of clothes. No wonder Chris stayed away from women in the past. It turned out that he disdained the likes of us. You’re truly too beautiful!”

“Really? So I’ll undoubtedly be able to snatch Chris back?” Winnie pretended to be a bimbo.

The woman giggled. “I’m afraid that all the men present tonight will be bewitched by you, not just Chris!”

Winnie deliberately frowned. “Who wants to bewitch those men? I only want Chris. He’s my boyfriend, and I won’t share him with any other woman. Likewise, I won’t betray him!”

“Boyfriend?” The woman guffawed, seemingly both in mockery and jealousy. “I really envy you for having such confidence when you’re in such a place. Let’s go. He might go off with someone else if you’re late.”

Shortly after, Winnie arrived at the pool with the woman.

It wasn’t her first time visiting that place.

Previously, she came over to look for Jacinta, only to happen across the Horton family having internal strife. When she came over with Christopher the next day, she saw a few people removing the dead bodies in the pool.

At that time, the dead bodies floated on the water motionlessly. Even the water in the pool had been stained red by their blood.

Tonight, however, it was vibrant and lively. The pool was full of men and women cheering excitedly as they enjoyed themselves without restraint.

Winnie’s gaze swept over the crowd at lightning speed before it finally fell on the host there, Harold.

He was the youngest among the major players in Jipsdale, only in his early thirties that year.

Over here, everyone addressed him as “Mr. Horton.” On the surface, he indeed appeared handsome, suave, and elegant.

But beneath his gentle persona, he was the most ruthless of the three local major drug lords, often committing the most brutal acts with his smile intact.

Not only was he vicious, but he was also perceptive. As such, Winnie’s gaze didn’t stay on him for long. In the next heartbeat, she shifted her gaze to Christopher, who sat across from Harold. At the same time, she sauntered toward them.

Sure enough, the woman earlier was right in that Winnie bewitched all the men present as soon as she made an appearance.

Even the women around the men couldn’t help staring at her.

Many who had never seen her started whispering among themselves.

The subject revolved around where exactly such a stunning beauty came from, whose woman she was, whether they could bed her, and the like.

Unsurprisingly, as she took everyone’s breath away, she quickly attracted Harold’s attention.

At the sight of Winnie in a white one-piece swimsuit, looking radiant even without makeup, Harold dropped his hand from around the woman he was hugging.

Whoa! It’s really been a long time since I’ve last seen such a natural beauty. She’s simply an angel among this crowd of heavily made-up women. How absolutely stunning!

Wesley was also sitting across from Harold then.

When he noticed the latter eyeing Winnie, he instantly declared, “Mr. Horton, that’s Vivian, whom I escorted back yesterday. She’s Chris’ woman.”
