The Substitute Bride: Idiot Or Not? novel Chapter 23

“Hahaha!” The burly men laughed immediately.

“You got quite the big mouth, pretty lady. However, you're exactly my type!” The leader of the group spoke as he stretched his perverted hand toward Winnie. “Come, let me touch your face and see if it's smooth! Tsk, tsk, tsk, your skin is so fair!”

Before his hand could reach Winnie, she grabbed and twisted it violently.

A cracking sound was heard as the man's wrist was broken.

Then he screamed, “Ouch! M-My wrist! It's broken! Let go of me, you b*tch!”

Winnie smiled coldly and kicked the man away. “Stop being so noisy, trash.”

“Are you all dead? Get her!” Seconds later, the man crawled up and shouted at the other men standing around.

Only then did the other men snap out of their astonishment and charge toward Winnie.

Staring at her enemies, she remained unmoved with no intention of escaping.

All she did was slowly pull her scarf down and remove the necklace around her neck.

The necklace was crafted with a special material. It was usually bendable and soft when worn on the neck. However, upon pressing a button, its length would immediately increase, and it would become stiff, transforming into a weapon as hard as a metal wire. “You were all asking for it, you scums!”

The men looked down on her from the beginning because they thought a feeble woman with no weapon in hand could not deal much damage.

However, Winnie had obtained a weapon. So, it didn't take long for her to beat up all of them.

Still, it was her against five people. After the battle had concluded, she was pretty much spent. Additionally, the necklace was too thin and tough. As she used the weapon to attack her enemies, it was also cutting her palm.

A weapon like that was only helpful in an emergency for protection. Used it for too long, and it would hurt its wielder.

Just as she was exhausted, one of the men who she had ignored earlier suddenly rushed out.

It was the man who pretended to be a driver earlier, Scarface.

He was waiting for Winnie to wear herself out before taking her down.

At that point, her body was drained of energy.

She became more and more anxious as Scarface got closer to her.

At the last second, two powerful beams of light suddenly shone in her direction. It was because a car was driving toward her.

While the car still hadn't gotten close, Winnie instantly knew Xavier had arrived.

The reason was that the car was making a unique engine sound.

That vehicle was basically the equivalent of a highly prestigious noble in the world of luxury cars. Every model was a globally limited edition, and each car was haute couture. Even the lowest price started at one hundred million. No more than fifty people on the planet owned one.

Xavier was one of them.

However, she was confused as to why he was there.

Half an hour ago, he received news from Mary that Winnie had wrapped up her doctor's visit and was ready to return to the mansion.

Mary even asked him if he wanted to return that night, but he refused.

However, when he was having dinner by himself, he suddenly felt as though the food he was chewing tasted like wax. So, he picked up his phone and checked the GPS location of the car Winnie was using.

The moment he did, he realized something was off.

That was because the car wasn't heading in the direction of the mansion.

Without giving it much thought, he jumped into his fastest SSC sports car and drove out.

I hope I'm not too late. Xavier quickly parked his car next to the Bentley.

The moment he arrived, he saw two people in front of him, seemingly ready to fight. Nonetheless, in the blink of an eye, they were both gone.
