Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Winnie furrowed her brows as she handed him the phone.

Josiah took it over from her and read the message out loud, “The celebrity has been bailed out. All that’s left to do is to wait for Xavier to come back. When will he be back?”

After reading through the text, Josiah scrolled through the phone’s inbox and said, “I don’t see any other messages. What does this mean? Who’s the celebrity? What are they planning to do?”

“Okay.” Winnie knew she was in no condition to drive, so she did as told and swapped places with him.

She turned to look at Josiah and exclaimed, “Oh, I remember now! The celebrity named Shania Hamilton! She got arrested a while back for assaulting someone with a knife. She was aiming for me, but Nate shielded me from the attack. We then called the police and had her arrested.”

“Oh, right, I remember that incident! You told me she hated you because Xavier had her blacklisted, right?” Josiah asked with a frown.
