Silly Bride

Chapter 27

The woman who walked out of the restroom was Kylie.

She went into the restroom not too long after she arrived. It was then she heard Josiah‘s assistant visiti ng Zyon to reveal juicy secrets.

When the assistant left, Kylie immediately sat next to the bed and asked curiously, “Isn‘t Yulissa Xavier‘ s ex–girlfriend, Mr. Fairchild?”

“Yeah, how did you know?” Zyon raised his eyebrow.

“Who doesn‘t? Everyone knows Xavier almost burned all bridges with his friend for that woman. It was a pretty big piece of news. Do you know why Xavier initially picked me for an arranged marriage?”

Zyon cackled evilly. “Isn‘t it because you‘re quite skillful in the intimacy department?”

“What are you saying? Hmph!” She pretended to be shy. “Why do you always say things like that? Noth ing happened between Xavier and me, okay? I‘m just waiting for you to recover and leave the hospital.”

“Oh? Then tell me why did Xavier pick you.”

“Because my eyes are quite similar to his crush‘s eyes.”

“Really?” Zyon leaned forward for a closer inspection. “Hmm, I wouldn‘t have noticed if you didn‘t mention it. Hah, it seems he still can‘ t quite forget about that woman. So, you were trying to use your eyes to seduce him last time? Is that why you drugged him at the office and was thrown to t he street by him afterward?”

“Can you stop bringing that up, Mr. Fairchild? I was just trying to use the advantage my eyes had given me.”

“Pfft,” Zyon sneered with disdain. “You just so happened to have a pair of eyes that resembled Yulissa‘s . What‘s useful about that?”

“It‘s because that woman‘s already dead! Even if I only have a pair of eyes that resemble hers, it‘s still good enough!” NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“Like heck it is! Who told you she‘s dead? As long as the real thing is still around, you don‘t even have t he right to fill in as a substitute.”

“What?” Kylie was shocked. “She‘s still alive? I thought the news said she‘s dead?”

“Like h*ll she‘s dead! That‘s just an illusion Old Mr. Fairchild used. I bet Xavier knew it in his heart, too. He knows his woman isn‘t dead and is waiting f or her to change her mind.”

“Then why does he still want to have an arranged marriage with me?”

“What do you think? You‘re just a tool to him. If he likes you, he‘ll have you bear a child for him. If he doesn‘t, he‘ll use you to aggravate that woman. You really think you‘re someone special,

huh?”

After being mocked by Zyon like that, Kylie felt embarrassed and furious. Nevertheless, she didn‘t have the nerve to show it on her face.

Since it was impossible for her to become the lady of the Fairchild family by marrving Xavier she decide d to use Zyon as her entry point instead.

As long as Zyon could take Xavier down, she would still be able to become the lady of the Fairchild fam ily when she married Zyon.

If that happened, she would demand Xavier kneel in front of her and apologize.

Thus, for the sake of her glorious future, she had to grit her teeth and endure those insults. “Then what do you plan to do next? It seems like our fathers have started working together on the company side of things. Do you have any plans to deal with Xavier?”

“Of course. Xavier is just a normal man, meaning he can still be tempted by beauty. Didn‘t you hear wh at the assistant said earlier? About how he‘s falling for your sister? A man who can be driven crazy by a woman, especially a mentally challenged one, doesn‘t have the right to become the head of the Fairchi ld family! This time, I‘ll use my most deadly tactic to ensure he‘ll never recover! Give me my phone.”

“Okay.” Kylie promptly handed the phone to him.

Upon turning on his phone, Zyon found the telephone number he was looking for.

The call rang for a long while before the other person answered it.

Right after the woman on the other end uttered a single word, he started scolding her, “What the h*ll ar e you doing? Why did it take so long for you to answer my call? Pack your things and get back here! I n eed you to do something big for me!”

The woman on the other end answered timidly. He scolded her a few more times before hanging up the call.

Kylie had no idea who he was talking to, but she saw the name for the number was “Slut.”

She wasn‘t going to ask about it, but Zyon still brought it up himself.

In a smug tone, he said, “Do you know who that tramp was? She‘s the woman Xavier has been missing all this time! Even though she‘s just a dirty b*tch, Xavier treasures her! However, he‘s not a good perso n either, so I say they‘re a perfect match!”

In accordance with their past routine, Xavier should be accompanying Rufus for a meal in the Fairchild residence at the end of the month.

The old man had been calling Xavier about it since the morning. He even specifically asked Xavier to bring Winnie along.

Therefore, before Xavier left Lagune Mansion, Winnie had to be well–prepared.

That meant she had to go offline and end her meeting with Nathanie) right away.

Frankly, they had almost finished the discussion regarding the project for the day.

However, he was just highly interested in her and wanted to keep talking to her.

“My beloved Gator, I‘ve been in Avenport for days now. I don‘t like the food here. As my par can‘t you pity my stomach and accompany me for a mcal?“.

“Here you go again. I told you already that I don‘t have plans to meet you for now. If you keep doing this

“Wait, wait, wail. I surrender, okay? In all scriousness, I do have a request for you. Two days later, there‘

“No!” Winnie rejected. “I don‘t want to show up at a place like that.”

“Why not? Are you ugly? I don‘t mind, Gator. I‘m fine if you wear a mask, too.”

“Stop messing around, Nathaniel. Have you seen a woman wearing a mask and formal attire attending a

She didn‘t wait for Nathaniel‘s attempt to persuade her to stay and turned off the laptop.

When Winnie finished tidying things up and headed downstairs, Xavier‘s car had just arrived.

Upon entering the car, she realized he had been staring at his documents with no intention of speaking t

Even after they had arrived at the Fairchild residence, he still kept his distance from her.

That was unul Rufus spoke up. “Xavier, the chairman of the foundation, Mr. Cadigan, just called me. He

Winnie raised her eyebrow. I just rejected Nathaniel‘s invitation to go there, but I still need to attend that

Nonetheless, Xavier outright refused, “Did Mr. Cadigan forget to take his pills? He knows what‘s going o won‘t do il.”

That rendered her speechless. That‘s the first thing he‘s saying tonight? Really?
