Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 272

“Winnie? Winnie!” Even though the second helicopter was about to arrive, Harold’s men were still in hot pursuit. At the sight of Winnie tripping, Josiah put Rachel down immediately and rushed to the former’s side.

His face brimmed with concern as he helped her back to her feet. “Are you all right? Get a grip on yourself. Now isn’t the time to lose your concentration.”

Throwing Josiah a glance, Winnie fell into a momentary silence.

In spite of that, she knew it was an inappropriate moment to talk about Christopher.

Hence, after murmuring that she was fine, she swiftly stood back up.

When Josiah saw her going toward the door thereafter, he stopped her at once.

“What are you doing? You have to think rationally. There’s no way Christopher could’ve survived a fall from such heights. If you were to go down now and be captured by Harold, only certain death awaits.”

“Josiah…” When Winnie knitted her brows at him, a calm look had returned to her eyes.

“Cut the bull. I know what the priority is. Anyway, find something to block the door at once. With so many old and wounded, there’s no way we can board the helicopter quickly. Therefore, we must buy ourselves some time, as Harold and his men could barge in at any moment.”

“All right, all that matters is that you have regained your senses.” The shocked expression on Winnie’s face when she saw Christopher fall was seared into Josiah’s mind.

Nonetheless, he didn’t say anything else as he began to scan his surroundings.

In no time, he found a metal box nearby.

Observing it, he commented, “That’s it. It should be enough to hold them off for a while. The helicopter would be arriving very soon.”

A curious look descended upon Winnie’s face. “The problem is, how are we going to push the box over? At the moment, only one of my hands can be of use. It would be better if we block the door with a club instead.”

Josiah swept his gaze around the area again. “I can’t find a club anywhere. Leave this with me. You should go and check on Xavier and the others.”

With that, he went off to push the box alone, but it refused to budge no matter what. In the end, he yelled at Yulissa and Nate, who were still arguing.

“Stop quarreling and help me over here. At the rate you’re going, we’re all going to die!”

Nate had already gotten all the answers to his questions.

In reality, his questions were not new, but Yulissa had been lying to him all this while. Now that she no longer had any use for him, she finally came clean.

She revealed that she never even liked him, let alone loved him. Previously, she simply enjoyed the rush of being pursued by a rich young man, but now, he was just a puppet to her.

Yulissa’s confession was like a knife that stabbed his broken heart with every word she said.

At that moment, Nate felt as if all the feelings and sincerity he had committed over the years had been nothing but a waste.

Staring at Yulissa—tears brimming in his eyes—he swung his hand to slap her.

“Yulissa, I have truly been blind this whole time. From today onward, I sever all ties with you.”

With that, he headed to Josiah’s side.

Josiah threw him a glance. “Now that you have woken up to the truth, congratulations on getting back on track. Anyway, help me push this box. When we get back, I’ll definitely sing your praises in front of Xavier and Winnie.”

Nate grunted in acknowledgment before pushing the box with all his might.

After being slapped by the ever-obsequious Nate, Yulissa felt utterly humiliated to the extent of wanting to return the favor twofold.
