Dear Soldier, Put Your Gun Down novel Chapter 40

At once, Winona became alert and cautious while thinking quickly in her mind. It was obvious that the person was coming at her. Also, since this person could easily mingle with the political leaders in the military, it must mean that this person has a certain status.

Reese was not foolish. She must have given out a signal before she got controlled. This could only imply that the person who took control of her was someone she was familiar with.

Summing all this up, she came to a conclusion as a figure popped up in her mind. Winona sneered coldly as she thought, “Since she has so graciously invited me, wouldn’t she be disappointed if I didn’t show up?”

Winona got up abruptly, slipped a fruit knife she grabbed from the table into her bag, and walked upstairs gracefully.

In the VIP room on the second floor.

Lilian’s eyes twinkled with delight as she observed the attractive figure slowly heading upstairs. She couldn’t help but laugh, “Little bitch, I will take your life tonight. From then on, Matt would be mine. Hahaha…”

She bent down and dragged an unconscious Reese under the bed. She then went to the windows and drew back the curtain. At the moment, the sniper at the other end was already on standby.

Winona knocked on the door of VIP room number 306. She was not surprised at all when she saw it was Lilian who opened the door.

“Where’s Reese?”

“Oh, she went to the restroom.”

Winona smirked knowingly, “Miss Tucker, you are really a bad liar.”

She had already spotted Reese’s skirt under the bed. She turned around to leave when she suddenly realized something else was going on.

Lilian scrambled to grab her wrist, “Winona, I need to talk to you.”

Winona answered indifferently, “There’s nothing else we can talk about.”

“Don’t you want to know what happened to Matt before?”

“I hope to hear from him in person instead of hearing it from you.”

Winona shook her hand away forcefully, but Lilian pestered her again, violently dragging her into the room, “Winona, I’m not some scary beast, so what are you afraid of?”

Winona took out the fruit knife from her bag, “You’ll get hurt if you don’t let go.”

Suddenly, a mischievous smile formed on Lilian's face. “Winona, it doesn’t matter that you have him now, because you won’t be able to stay with him in the future anyway.”

Knowing something wrong was going on, she hastily fled away. Suddenly, with a loud bang, she felt warm liquid splattering on her cheeks, her neck, and her aqua-green gown…

While she was still shocked by the situation, Lilian’s torso collapsed on her. She heard Lilian murmuring softly, “Winona, this is my wedding gift for you.”

At this moment, a large crowd of people surged over like a flood, led by Matt and Mr. President.

Matt rushed over as quickly as a flash and pulled Winona into his arms. He was relieved only when he made sure that she was safe.

Lilian collapsed to the ground as she has lost support. She grabbed Matt’s legs and said feebly with a smile, “Matt…Don’t worry…As long as I’m here, nothing will happen to Winona.”

Suddenly, a man around the age of sixty walked out of the crowd. He was quite good-looking with a pair of deep-set eyes and a Roman nose.

He hugged Lilian and uttered with pain, “Lilian, how can you be so silly?”

It turned out to be Lilian’s father, Frederick Tucker, who was also the top leader of the Senate of Coscana.

He abruptly turned his gaze to Matt and spoke sternly, “Matt, aren’t you going to give me an explanation?”

Winona said calmly, “Let me explain this. I suppose I was the target and Miss Tucker was the accomplice. Otherwise, she would not have brought me here for no reason.”

Frederick got up from the ground and slapped Matt with force, “What a great woman you have here!”

The slap was extremely loud, and the corner of Matt’s mouth was bleeding. Winona felt bad for him and she was confused why he did not dodge when he could…

“Sir, calm down, please. I promise to give you a reasonable explanation.”

He bent down, taking Lilian in his arms. The crowd swiftly made a way for them.
