Silly Bride

Chapter 16

Kylie was wearing Winnie’s clothes and using her makeup, but she treated the latter like dirt. Winnie quietly watched her as she spent a few hours dolling herself up and decorating the bedroom. When Kylie was almost done, Winnie innocently said, “Oh, Kiki, Winnie remembers something! Handsome hasn’t been home for many nights, and he won’t be coming home tonight too!” “What? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Kylie was not used to doing housework, so changing the bedsheets and tidying up the bedroom were exhausting for her. She wanted to beat Winnie up for the belated notice, as she wouldn’t have wasted all those efforts if she had known earlier that Xavier was not going to be home that night. “Do you know you’ve wasted all my efforts in putting on this nice makeup? What am I going to do now?” “Why don’t we go look for Handsome?” “Easier said than done! Will he let a dumb*ss like you into Fairchild Corporation? He’s staying away from home because he despises you!” Kylie was still upset at being stopped by the security at Fairchild Corporation when she attempted to enter the building. However, what happened next added fuel to the fire. Winnie made a call to Xavier and whined, “Hello, Handsome. Can Winnie come to your office and play with you? Winnie is bored at home!” After a short pause, Kylie could hear her say, “Okay then! See you later, Handsome! Winnie will bring nice sweets for you!” “What? That’s it? Xavier agreed to meet you in his office?” Kylie was stunned at how easy it was for Winnie to secure a meet-up with Xavier. She spent three days trying to get an opportunity to meet him but to no avail. Yet, her dumb sister managed to do that in less than a minute! Kylie looked at the windows in the bedroom, and suddenly, the evil thought of throwing Winnie out of the window arose in her mind. Even if she doesn’t fall to her death, she’d at least become crippled! Although she did not put it into action, Kylie’s menacing expression did not escape Winnie’s attention. After composing herself, Kylie was up to no good again and began to sweet-talk Winnie, “Winnie, I heard you said you wanted to bring sweets for Xavier. Other than that, should we bring something else for him? What else does he like? Does he like juice?” “Yes, he does!” Winnie smiled innocently and said. Kylie immediately sent the housekeeper away and personally prepared a glass of fresh orange juice. Winnie was monitoring her secretly and saw her adding a white pill to the juice.

wonder she’s so confident she’ll get Xavier to bed tonight! She came prepared! She must have learned that from her mother. After all, that was how Yara stole my dad from my mom. As Winnie had given Xavier advance notice, when she and Kylie arrived at Fairchild Corporation, someone was there to receive them. It was Kylie’s first visit to Fairchild Corporation. Before that, she thought Garland Group had one of the grandest offices. After she entered Fairchild Corporation’s office building, she realized what an upmarket and sophisticated business entity should really look like. Garland Group and Fairchild Corporation were definitely not of the same league. Looking at the classy office building, Kylie made up her mind that she would someday become the mistress of Fairchild Corporation! The secretary led Winnie and Kylie to Xavier’s office so they could wait for him while he was in a meeting. Winnie took a look at the time and realized it was already five in the afternoon. Her meeting with Asiatic was at seven in the evening, so she needed to head out and start her preparation for the meeting. The housekeepers at Lagune Mansion watched over her closely when she was home, but at Fairchild Corporation, no one was monitoring her. As such, she excused herself to use the restroom and slipped away from Xavier’s office. The car that she had hired was already waiting for her at the underground car park of Fairchild Corporation. Everything she needed was also already placed in the car, as she had asked for. It was seven in the evening, and the sky was getting dark. A bar named “Tonight” had opened its door to welcome its first customer. There was a special event at the bar that day. The boss had made an announcement three days ago that it would be organizing a masquerade party that night. Only customers wearing a masquerade mask would be allowed entry into the bar that night. Needless to say, Winnie was the one behind that. She had no intention of revealing her identity as Gator, so she couldn’t just blatantly walk into the bar. She was also wary of being captured on camera. Wearing a plain-looking beaded black dress and a tired-looking rental mask, she did not even bother to do her hair as she wanted to keep a low profile. Her entire outfit cost her less than five hundred dollars. However, when she walked into the bar, she still made heads turn. All the guests were somehow attracted to her. She managed to make the cheap dress look classy. In fact, she was glowing with radiance in that black little dress. Her flowy luxuriant dark hair earned her the envy of all the ladies present. Although half of her face was hidden by the mask, she still managed to captivate everyone. Within a minute of her

arrival, a few men had already crowded around her, wanting to buy her a drink. There were even some women trying to hit on her. However, Winnie ignored them and calmly tried to get away. It took her more than ten minutes to get to the private room at the other end of the bar. When she entered the private room, the person in charge of Asiatic was already there. The lighting in the private room was dim, but Winnie could clearly see that the man was in a wheelchair. Oh, he’s physically challenged! Winnie was taken by surprise. She took a look at him and gauged he would be more than six feet tall if he was able to stand up. “Are you Ms. Gator? You’re late.” The man’s mask was covering the lower half of his face, and he spoke with a funny voice. Winnie was positive he was using a voice modulator. Hahaha! This is interesting! Looks like he has a secret identity too! Winnie was also using a voice modulator. “My apologies. There was a small commotion outside just now, so I was held back for a while. How should I address you, sir?” she asked. “I’m Hall,” Xavier said as he scrutinized Gator. He had not expected Gator to be a young lady, and he suspected she was an Aplothian. Although he thought she looked familiar, he couldn’t quite figure out who she resembled at that moment. “Hi, Mr. Hall. I’m sure Nathaniel has spoken to you and shared with you that our target is Garland Group,” Winnie sat down opposite Xavier and said. Xavier was looking at her small plump lips when the image of Winnie suddenly flashed across his mind. On second look, he decided there was no resemblance at all. Winnie had naturally pinkish and moist-looking lips, whereas Gator’s lips were thick with lipstick. There was also a small mole below Gator’s lower lip, which wasn’t present on Winnie’s face. Xavier thought Winnie looked much more beautiful compared to Gator. “To be honest, Garland Group isn’t that attractive to me. I was just curious why the famous Gator would want to go after the puny Garland Group,” Xavier said. “I hope you have a good reason for that. Otherwise, I’m afraid I’ll have to say no to your proposal,” he added.
