The Substitute Bride: Idiot Or Not?

The location of the bar was a bit out of the way, and there was a deserted construction site nearby.

After driving for less than fifty meters, Winnie suddenly heard a loud bang coming from the back of her car because someone had knocked her from behind. Then, a car appeared right in front of her, and it was coming toward her at a high speed.

Those cars were going to trap her in between. Winnie quickly realized that she had been targeted because of that badge.

However, they would not get her just that easily. Since she had dared to go there alone, she was definitely prepared to put up a fight.

She floored the accelerator and turned her steering wheel. With her incredible driving skill, she managed to avoid the car coming from the front.

However, she was still getting chased after by the car behind.

These people only dared to come after me because this is a rural area. Once I get on the highway, they'll surely back down.

At that moment, something unexpected happened. Right before she could shake them off, her counterparts shot at her car.

One of the bullets punctured her tire, and the car flipped.

Knowing that the car was no longer drivable, she immediately crawled out of it through the window.

Luckily for her, she had the habit of preparing for the worst. Although she could no longer drive the car, she had a foldable scooter in the trunk of the car.

She rode the scooter as fast as possible. Even though she couldn't ride faster than the car behind her, it gave her the opportunity to find other ways of escaping. Coincidentally, there was a car parked by the road up ahead.

It seemed that the passenger had a glass too many, and the person was puking by the side of the road. This is my chance!

She quickly got off the scooter and got inside the back of the car.

Before the driver could react, she pulled out a knife and placed it on his neck.

With her face mask on, Winnie purposely uttered in a gruff voice, "Drive if you want to live!"

The driver panicked and looked at her through the rearview mirror. "W-What are you—" "Drive!" Winnie roared. "Otherwise, we're both going to die. I'm not joking!"

As soon as Winnie finished her sentence, a man was heard ordering the driver, "Drive." Upon hearing that, the driver started the car.

Only then did Winnie realize that there was another man seated in the backseat of the car.

Wait... That voice is so familiar! It's Xavier! What kind of sh*tty luck is this? How did I end up in his car when I'm making an escape? No wonder I found that man puking by the side of the road rather familiar! It was Josiah!

At that moment, she could feel the murderous intent Xavier was exuding.

I don't think I'll be able to fight against this tall man.

With that in mind, she knew she had to use an unorthodox method to strike first.

Therefore, when Xavier was defenseless, she covered his nose and his mouth with a piece of wet cloth that was doused in diethyl ether. It was a chemical that could make someone pass out on the spot. By the time Xavier realized what was going on, he was already starting to lose consciousness. "Who the hell are you?" How dare you?This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

He fought back for a few seconds before passing out.

Once he stopped moving, Winnie kept the cloth.

At the same time, she was cursing at the man in her mind.

When he was struggling, he grabbed my breasts! He knows what to grab, all right!

The driver was sweating bullets when he saw his employer being taken out. "O-Okay... Don't kill me. I'll drive you to wherever you want to go." "Keep going forward!"

Meanwhile, Josiah had just finished puking by the side of the road. When he turned around, he realized Xavier had gotten the driver to drive away.

Seeing that the car was driving away faster and faster, Josiah cursed, "What the f*ck? F*ck you, Xavier! How could you leave me stranded by the side of the road? Is your heart made of stone? F*ck you!" By the time Winnie got home, it was already past midnight.

Only then did she realize she had lost the badge when she was getting undressed.

I know I still had the badge with me when I left the bar! In order to keep it safe, I kept it in front of my chest. Wait! I remember now! When I was in Xavier's car, he grabbed my breasts when he was struggling! "F*ck!" Winnie kicked the couch angrily. "I must've dropped it in his car!"

Meanwhile, Xavier was making his way out of the hospital.

Up until then, he still couldn't believe the fact that he had passed out, and a woman had hijacked his car.

Ha! I was bedridden in the mansion for a year. Has all the women in Avenport and maybe the world gone wild during that time? First, a foreign woman locked me in the fire escape at the charity gala and pointed her middle finger at me. After that, a woman hijacked my car and knocked me out by using diethyl ether! Why are these women disrespecting me? When I find these two women, I'll surely teach them a lesson!

Xavier opened his car door forcefully and got into the car that he had humiliated himself in.

Suddenly, he saw something he had never seen before next to his feet.

He picked it up and saw the black badge made of black gold. There was a rose and a scepter engraved on each side of the badge.

This is definitely not mine.

While Winnie was racking her brain to think of an excuse to get into Xavier's car, Xavier returned to Lagune Mansion.

Since it was Rufus' birthday the next day, Xavier had to return a day earlier because Rufus had requested him to bring Winnie along.

However, he didn't return on his own.

He brought Yulissa with him.

Winnie couldn't be bothered about the person he brought along. After all, she was planning to leave the place for good the next day.

What troubled Winnie was the fact that she couldn't find the badge in the car no matter how hard she looked.

Xavier must've taken the badge! Actually, he can keep it with him first. That's better than letting some stranger have it. I can always take it back from him in the future.

The moment she exited the car, Xavier showed up.

He went up to her and asked, "Winnie, what were you doing in my car?"
