Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier) novel Chapter 307

Winnie inspected the photo carefully again. Just like Mason had pointed out, there was a banner on the ground at the left of the photo. The writing on the banner was in the Chanaean language.

Mountains could be seen in the distance behind Greta. The buildings at the foot of the mountains portrayed the architectural style of Chanaea.

“You’re right,” Winnie affirmed. “This looks like Chanaea. Is Greta Chanaean?”

“I don’t know.” Mason shook his head. “We’re outlaws. I don’t ask about her past if she doesn’t bring it up. Please help me find her. I beg you. I’ll do anything for you in return. Even my own life is at your disposal!”

From the way he had carefully wrapped the photo up in plastic before keeping it safely in his pocket, Winnie could see that Mason’s feelings for Greta were quite deep.

Winnie herself had a good impression of Greta. Because of that, she was willing to help Mason out.

However, before she could agree, she received a text from Lisanne.

Lisanne: Winnie, help him but negotiate with him. Didn’t you tell me that Greta had been in the same car with Christopher the entire time? She didn’t go to the balcony after that, and she disappeared after you guys left. Christopher’s body was also never found. I have a feeling that these two cases are related. Perhaps Christopher didn’t die! Perhaps she had taken him away!

When Winnie saw the message Lisanne sent, her brows inched together into a frown.

She had witnessed Christopher’s fall onto the roof of the car with her own eyes. How could he have survived a fall from such an immense height?

Winnie brushed Lisanne’s theory off, deciding that Lisanne was just in denial of the fact that Christopher had sacrificed himself.

However, she would not deny the possibility that Greta had taken Christopher’s body away.

At that thought, Winnie immediately helped Mason up. “Let’s have a seat before discussing this further. I’ll agree to help you look for Greta in Chanaea, but there’s something that I need to ask you.”

“All right. Just ask me anything.”

Winnie nodded slightly. “I’m sure that you’re aware of the fact that your subordinates are helping me to look for my friend’s body?”

“I’m aware of it, but there doesn’t seem to be much progress. Did they not report to you?”

“They did.” Winnie’s forehead creased. “But as you said, there hasn’t been any progress.”

“It’s not an easy task. Every year, many people tend to disappear in that area, much less a dead one.”

“In that case,” Winnie began, “I’d like you to repeat the whole scenario of that day to me again. Where were you and Greta respectively? What were the defense plans? Tell me everything.”

“Of course. On that day…” Mason began to recount the incident.

After Winnie had heard the complete story, her expression became solemn. “From what you have said, Greta did not go to the balcony at all. According to your plans, she was supposed to be on the ground, waiting to catch me. Yet when I got there, I did not see her. From that day onwards, she seems to have vanished into thin air.”

“That’s right.”

“Okay.” Winnie nodded thoughtfully. “I got it. I’ll help you look for her, but there’s something that I need your help with. The fact that you can find me means that Harold can too. I might not be lacking in protection, but they play by the rules. You and the people in your community are more daring. I need you to be my bodyguard temporarily and protect me from the shadows.”

“Deal! As long as you promise me that you’ll look for Greta, I’ll even kill Harold for you if you ask me to!”

Winnie waved her hand to dismiss his idea. “This country is nothing like Manchernius. The people here abide by the law. No one can break the law as they wish. Also, stop the hijacking nonsense. Do you have an ID card with you? How have you been going about these few days?”

Mason lowered his head. “I have a passport, but I don’t have any money. I’ve been sleeping in the public parks.”

“All right. I’ll give you some money as well as a phone in a short while. Freshen yourself up nicely. For now, find a place to stay, and I’ll send someone to find you and discuss Greta’s matter. I’ll inform you when there are any further plans.”

With that being said, Winnie immediately got on the phone and started dishing out orders.
