Silly Bride

Chapter 338
“Stuart!”Winnie did not expect Stuart to hide a blade in his watch dial. Thus, she immediately yanked off the unique necklace
around her neck and prepared to find an opportunity to counterattack him.Meanwhile, Stuart had no idea Winnie’s necklace was
a custom-made weapon, so he did not realize the potential danger he was facing.As for Xavier, he had seen what Winnie did
with her necklace. So when he saw her ripping it off, he immediately pulled her toward him.Pulling her into his embrace, he
whispered, “Keep the necklace away. It’s not the time for that. We have reinforcement waiting outside.”Winnie frowned and
turned around, staring at Xavier in confusion.Reading the puzzled look in her eyes, Xavier explained softly, “I already called the
police. They have snipers with them.”A hint of surprise flashed across Winnie’s eyes. She lowered her voice and asked, “When
did you call the police?”Xavier answered in a voice only the two could hear, “I saved us a backup plan and let someone call the
police when Stuart was brought over. That’s why you don’t have to make a move now, and you shouldn’t make any reckless
move either.”Upon hearing that, Winnie instantly understood the situation. She silently placed the necklace away and tried to
negotiate with Stuart to stall time by saying, “Stuart, let my granny go. We can talk things out!”“Let her go?” Stuart laughed out
loud. “Do you think I’m stupid? How can I possibly make my escape without a hostage? Now, prepare a car and the cash for me,
or you can prepare to hold a funeral for this old woman!”“Stuart, you b*stard!” Rufus was now overcome with regret. “How could
you do this to your mom? I shouldn’t have believed you!”“Believed me?” Stuart glared at Rufus. “Should I bow and kneel to you
just because you believed me? You are the main reason why I am who I am today! Since you chose to keep me with the
Fairchild family back then, why couldn’t you be impartial? If I had everything Benjamin had, do you think I would have become
like this?”“How dare you try to get everything your brother has? Don’t you know how much your character and capabilities lack
behind him?” Rufus reprimanded angrily, “Also, stop talking like I never tried to do so! You’re the one being too greedy!”“Hah! Too
greedy? Why do you make me sound like a huge sinner when I only wanted a larger portion of your many assets? Now, cut the
cr*p and prepare the car and cash for me. I want to leave this place immediately! Why aren’t you moving? You’re really not going
to give up until the very last second, huh?”Without even blinking, Stuart drew the blade lightly across Jacinta’s neck.The blade
was very sharp, and Jacinta did not feel any pain at first, but she lowered her head and immediately saw blood seeping out.The
glint in her eyes gradually dimmed as she saw her patient’s gown slowly dyed in her blood.She murmured, “You’re trying to kill
me. You’re my son, but you want to kill me. You’re my son, but you want to kill me...”As if she was stimulated by the scene and
had lost her mind, Jacinta started repeating that sentence.Stuart was highly irritated by everything, so when he heard Jacinta
repeating that sentence, he could no longer hold back his anger. “Shut up, you old woman! Do you know why he doesn’t like
me? It’s all because of you! If you had ever tried to be more presentable, this wouldn’t have happened to me! Your disgusting
parents also contributed to this. If only Benjamin and I shared the same mother, I wouldn’t have ended up like this!” “That’s
enough, Stuart!” Winnie could tell something was amiss with Jacinta’s condition. She quickly reprimanded him, “I will prepare the
car and cash for you, but you must stop talking!”“Sure!” Stuart looked at Winnie. “I’ll give you what you want, and you’ll give me

what I want.”“Deal. Just wait here!” Winnie told him before turning around to tell Xavier something.Xavier glanced at his phone
screen and lowered his voice as he told Winnie, “The police have cleared the whole area, and the snipers are in place
now.”Winnie nodded and looked at Stuart. “We are preparing the car and cash now. Can you move that blade away from her
while waiting?”“Absolutely!” Stuart had no intention of taking his blade away despite saying that. Instead, he swept a quick
glance around the ward and said, “Tell everyone else, including your bodyguards, to stay back!”“All right. I can do that,” Winnie
hurriedly agreed and gestured at her bodyguards to stay further away from Stuart.Stuart was very cautious. When he saw the
bodyguards moving, he grabbed Jacinta and started moving backward. He was afraid the bodyguards would suddenly make a
move on him.He backed away and soon reached the window.Since he had been monitored for the past few days, Stuart had
subconsciously developed a habit of glancing out the window whenever he was near one.He immediately noticed something
wrong with his surroundings by just taking one glance.They were inside a huge hospital, yet no one was walking around outside
the building, not even the hospital staff, patients, or patients’ families. It was rather unusual.Growing suspicious, Stuart carefully
observed several cars parked not too far away from the hospital building. Sure enough, he noticed the cars were packed with
passengers.It’s August. The summer weather is insane. Why are there so many people cramped in each vehicle?Stuart
immediately realized what was going on. He drew the curtains behind his back and grabbed Jacinta as he yelled at Xavier and
Winnie, “You called the police, didn’t you? Do you want this old woman dead? Tell the police to get lost, or I’ll kill her now!”Jacinta
had been murmuring the same thing repeatedly all this while. When she heard Stuart threatening to kill her, she immediately
raised her volume and shrieked, “You are my son! You want to kill me! You want to kill me, so I will bite and kill you!”At that
moment, Jacinta was no longer fearful of anything. She lowered her head and bit into Stuart’s arm fiercely. She exerted so much
strength into that bite that she almost tore off the flesh on Stuart’s arm.Stuart hissed in sharp pain and couldn’t move his injured
arm. Thus, he grabbed his blade with the other hand and slashed it at Jacinta.At the same time, the police barged in and warned
Stuart to put down his weapon, but their warning failed.Several bodyguards also tried to rush up to hold down Stuart.Realizing
that he might not get to escape in this situation, Stuart stood up and slashed a bodyguard’s throat with his blade.His eyes turned
almost crimson-red as he yelled at them, “Let’s fight to the end then! I’ll make all of you come to hell with me!”Stuart had utterly
lost his mind at that moment and threatened to kill everyone in the ward. His behavior was extremely hostile.The police
immediately took the measure of shooting after their warning fell on deaf ears and with the situation turning so critical.With a loud
bang, Stuart collapsed to the floor.Immediately after, Josiah and the doctors waiting outside the ward rushed inside and began
treating the wounded at the scene.The ward instantly became chaotic.Seeing Jacinta being carried onto a stretcher, Winnie held
onto Xavier’s hand tightly and followed behind.
