Silly Bride

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.Soon, Jasmine appeared with a folder. Inside the folder was a phone as well as some
cash.Winnie handed the folder to Mason before walking him into her personal elevator.By the time she returned to her office,
Lisanne was already waiting for her at the door.“Winnie, when are you guys going to start looking for Greta? I have a feeling that
Christopher is not dead. He could have been taken back by Greta to be treated.”Winnie furrowed her brows. She believed that
Lisanne was being delusional. Winnie thought that it was more likely for Greta to have buried Christopher’s body rather than
healed him.After the incident, she hired someone to investigate every single hospital in Yeringham, but not a single one of them
had documented a patient who had fallen off of a building.It was even more unlikely for Greta to have taken Christopher with her
back to Chanaea.It was hard enough for Greta to come to Chanaea on her own, let alone take Christopher along with
her.“Lisanne, I think you’re being too optimistic. Greta is a sniper. Perhaps she had seen something that we didn’t notice when
she was in hiding to protect me. The only thing we can do now is to find her. I won’t lie, but the chances of finding Christopher
alive are very, very small.”“But maybe,” Lisanne replied with hope in her eyes, “there really are miracles in this world.”Winnie
could not bring herself to crush Lisanne’s hopes. She nodded. “Maybe. Either way, I’ll send someone to look for Greta as soon
as possible.”“Mm-hmm, the more the better. I believe you’ve taken a photo of the photograph he had shown you. Send it to me.
I’ll ask Lucas to help with the search too.”Winnie sent the photo to Lisanne and both of them headed out to find Lucas....The
Marsh family was a prestigious family in the field of sea transportation.By the time it reached the two generations of Lucas and
his father, the Marshes had already developed their ship-making company into a company that invented all means of
transportation for shipments on land, sea, and sky.That was one of the reasons Lucas could have so many resources and
connections across all nations.Another reason was that Lucas was a friendly extrovert and enjoyed making new friends. He
seemed to be able to get along with anybody.Even so, his best friend had always been Winnie. After all, the two had known each
other since their days in school.Hence, he was overjoyed to see Winnie.Especially since he saw that Winnie had brought his
sister back.“I miss you so much, my dear queen! I haven’t seen you for so long! Come now, give me a hug!” Lucas stepped
forward and wrapped Winnie in a warm embrace.Winnie allowed him to hug her for one second before pulling away. “I’m a
married woman now. Can’t be too close to another man now.”“Tsk!” Lucas tutted. “You seem to have forgotten how to let your
hair down. All right then, take a seat. You wouldn’t have visited me if there are no problems. The fact that you’re here means that
something is troubling you.”The moment they talked business, Lucas became serious.They first mentioned the search for Greta
before bringing up Harold.However, the moment Lucas found out that Winnie planned to lure Harold out physically, he
immediately argued.“It’s a no go. That’s a terrible setting. I’ll get a bunch of reporters and ask them to expose our affair behind
your husband’s back. I guarantee that you’ll be trending all around the globe within seconds.”
