The Substitute Bride: Idiot Or Not? novel Chapter 34

Winnie understood what was going on the moment she heard that.

Xavier must be giving instructions to these security guards from the control room.

In other words, it was as if she was getting filmed in a live broadcast, for Xavier was watching her every move.

Hence, she halted in her tracks and mulled over it. Then, she quickly found where the cameras were and gave Xavier the finger.

Xavier, who was in the control room, scowled when he saw that.

“D*mn you. How dare you taunt me? Who gave you the guts to do that?”

Winnie had the security guard's walkie-talkie in her hand, so she heard everything Xavier said.

She could also hear that Xavier was livid.

Nevertheless, she had no qualms about fanning the flames. That's what he gets for cheating!

Pushing the talk button, Winnie said in fluent Ustranasion, “Sir, justice is the one that gave me the guts. Mr. Fairchild, your name is known by many people, and most know that you're married. However, I never thought that the leader of Fairchild Corporation would betray his wife on the night of the charity gala. How can an immoral man like you have the right to lead a business empire? Tonight is just a little lesson for you. There's no need for thanks, Mr. Fairchild, because I don't think well of you at all. Also, stop trying to catch me. I'll be honest with you now. As long as I don't want to appear in your line of sight, you'll never catch me.”

How confident and insane was Winnie to say such things to Xavier?

Other than the few security guards, everyone else in the control room understood what Winnie said.

Xavier was clenching his fists so hard his knuckles turned white.

Even Josiah and Louis did not dare to take a breath.

After punching and shattering one of the display monitors, Xavier ordered, “She entered the dressing room, so she might be changing. Go after her as quickly as you can. I want her caught tonight!”

Meanwhile, Winnie picked a few random clothes from the dressing room.

Surveillance cameras were scattered all over the hotel, so she was in no rush to change yet.

Nevertheless, her time taken in the dressing room allowed the rest of the security guards to catch up with her.

Still, Winnie did not panic. Knowing there was a surveillance blind spot in the garden on the first floor, she ran there.

As she ran, she took off her disguise—the green-colored contact lenses, the golden wig, and the latexes on her face all had to go.

She was going down the stairs while taking off her wig, so most of her attention was on the hair net. That was how she ended up missing a step.

Just as she thought she was going to fall, a pair of powerful arms grabbed her.

In the next second, she fell against someone's chest.

The moment she was hugged by the other person, she screeched in her mind, Oh my god!

It was because the men's cologne from the person was far too familiar—the faint scent of the ocean.

That was the smell of the cologne that Nathaniel had on him.

Winnie did not expect Nathaniel to be there.

Perhaps she should be glad that the latexes on her face were only half removed, or perhaps she should pray that Nathaniel did not catch a clear glimpse of her in the darkness of the garden.

Regardless, Nathaniel was clearly not blind.

“Oh my dear Ms. Gator, you've given me a huge surprise!” Nathaniel said as he slowly removed the green-colored contact lenses on Winnie's face. “Your eyes are beautiful, and they glitter like black onyx. I love this eye color. Did you use prosthetic makeup to conceal your true looks?”

As Nathaniel spoke, he slowly peeled off a piece of latex from the corner of Winnie's eye.
