Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 245

“Sure.” Winnie curled her lips in confidence while gazing at Harold. “I believe you’ll be surprised when you see what I came up with, Mr. Horton.”

Harold smiled faintly. “We’ll see about that, then. Take Ms. Vivian into the lab, Seven.”

“Yes, Mr. Horton. Please come with me, Ms. Vivian.” The man referred to as Seven immediately escorted Winnie into the laboratory.

The room was small with an experiment desk full of bottles and lab apparatus right in the center.

Against the walls were racks filled with an array of chemical reagents and ingredients. There was also a surveillance camera on the east corner of the ceiling.

Observing Winnie’s every move behind the camera was Harold.

“Do you really trust this woman, Mr. Horton?” a bodyguard keeping his eye on the surveillance footage next to Harold asked.

Harold narrowed his eyes as his lips played into a malicious smirk. “I would most prefer to, but if she dares try to fool me, I’ll make her life a living hell.”

Back inside the laboratory, Winnie had already scanned everything she could lay her eyes on and matched them with the recipe ingredients she had in mind.

Even while doing so carefully, she didn’t forget where she was.

The woman had noticed Seven leave as soon as he led her in here.

Two other people inside the laboratory had also left right away, but there was still one more person remaining in a corner.

Winnie didn’t think this was a mistake on that person’s end. Rather, she believed that Harold had deliberately planned it.

He’s probably arranged for this guy to assist me or steal my recipe.

Still, she played it cool, pretending to put all her attention on her task at hand.

It was only when she proceeded to grab some methadone hydrochloride that she acted as though she had just spotted someone else inside the room, for the rack containing the chemical so happened to be right behind that man.

“Who are you? What are you doing in here?” she yelled.

“I’m here to assist you,” the person replied at once.

“Assist me?” Both their voices came out sounding slightly distorted due to the gas masks they were wearing.

Winnie had a difficult time discerning whether this person was of young or old age, nor could she confirm if he was, in fact, Professor Riley White.

“When did I say I needed an assistant? You’re a drug maker too! Do you think I don’t know what you’re up to? Don’t take me for an idiot! Seriously, I can’t believe you’re trying to steal my recipe!”

The woman pretended to be furious, even going as far as to remove the person’s gas mask.

The latter clearly hadn’t expected her to lash out directly like that and was caught off guard.

As a result, his face now lay bare in front of Winnie, who recognized him instantly.

It’s him! This is the man I’ve been looking for, although he looks so different in person compared to the photos.

Winnie had already scrutinized his pictures before setting out, but all the images she came across were from five years ago.

The pictures portrayed Riley as a man who looked to be in his fifties despite actually being over sixty. Not only that, but his skin looked especially well-nourished, and there wasn’t a single gray hair on his head.
