Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 249

After returning to the room, Winnie immediately closed all the doors and windows.

Christopher, on the other hand, rolled up the window blinds halfway and looked out to make sure that no one followed them before saying with a frown, “I also didn’t expect Yulissa to come back all of a sudden. That was way too dangerous. Fortunately, we already know Professor White’s whereabouts and managed to calm her down for the time being.”

Winnie, too, furrowed her brows. “She seems to be quite close with her grandpa. It’s good that she has some scruples like this. We’ll be doomed if she has no restraint.”

“Yes, and I also didn’t expect Harold to act so swiftly.” Christopher’s frown deepened. “We’ve neither figured out his sales network nor lured out the Big Black Bear you’re looking for, but his first deal has already arrived. A large volume of goods is involved this time, and their flaws will be revealed as soon as they are made. You’ll be in danger when those people discover that the goods are flawed at that point. Everything happened so quickly. We need to revise our plans.”

Winnie fell deep in thought for a long while before finally responding, “It’s fine. Since he acted swiftly, we’ll end it quickly as well. Lies will be exposed one day, so the sooner we extricate ourselves, the better. I’m sure you don’t want to stay here any longer, but first, how much do you know about today’s buyer?”

Christopher replied in a deep voice, “If I’m not mistaken, this person probably came from South Adrune. He’s quite powerful and started out in the arms business at first. He’s rich but also not someone to mess with.”

“To what extent?” Winnie looked at him. “Is it truly like what Harold said that if the goods can’t be delivered, even he himself will face terrible consequences?”

“Exactly!” Christopher nodded. “You can say that.”

“That’s perfect!” Winnie continued after chuckling softly, “The direr the situation, the more advantageous it is for me. Harold has always felt that my conditions were too much and didn’t wish to agree to them. If I don’t budge first, he’ll keep delaying his response. But he can’t do that now since he cinched a huge order with the sample. After this, everything depends on me. He needs my help now, and if he doesn’t agree to my conditions, then I won’t deliver the goods no matter what. If I don’t do that, the one who suffers, in the end, is him.”

“That’s true!” Christopher nodded. “You can give it a try. You’ve been very assertive in front of him, so he is somewhat afraid of you. Besides, he wouldn’t dare to do anything to you now for the sake of his own interests.”

“Exactly. That’s my point. Actually—” Several knocks on the door suddenly came from outside before Winnie could finish speaking.

She immediately fell silent and frowned.

Christopher also instinctively looked out the window.

Only after seeing who it was outside the door did he breathe a sigh of relief and look at Winnie. “It’s Yulissa. I bet she wants to ask us about Professor White.”

Winnie bobbed her head. “Let her in, then.”

Christopher hummed before going to unlatch the safety chain on the door.

Before he could open the door, Yulissa twisted the door knob and barged in from outside.

She glanced at Winnie and Christopher and sneered. “Why must you lock the door? I bet you’re feeling guilty and scared now, aren’t you?”

Winnie had no interest in listening to the other woman’s snarky remarks. “Since you came here to inquire about your grandpa, cut the useless talk. However, before I answer your question, I have a question for you first.”
