Dear Soldier, Put Your Gun Down

Chapter 39 Unaccountable Solicitude, Evil Intentions

Lilian came up with a gracious smile, a glass of wine in her hand. But she dressed herself odd today.

She wore a conservative red dress, covering her neck and limbs completely. Her makeup also looked

strange. The heavy powder and scarlet lipstick on her face made her look like a ghost.

Women’s intuition told Winona, this woman was sure to have plans for Matt, and her invitation would

not be simple.

“Sorry, Miss Tucker. I have no interest in playing cards.”

“Then let me show you around the Ruri Palace. I can be your free guide, Winona.”

Was she showing off that she came here very often? One who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil

intentions.

Winona smiled and said, “Many thanks. But you know him. If he can’t find me, he will be furious. I can

do nothing with him.”

Her plaintive eyes, and her cute voice irritated Lilian. Curling up her fingers, she felt a little anxious, as

the bitch would not fall for it whatever she said. But if she didn’t take her to the designated place, those

monsters would ruin her.

A hint of craftiness flashed in her eyes as she sighed, “You seemed to have misunderstood me,

Winona. Excuse me.”

When she passed her, she deliberately tilted her glass slightly and let the wine fall on Winona's dress.

“Oops, I’m sorry, Winona. I didn’t mean to get your dress dirty.” she covered her lips and said, feigning

surprise.

Winona quickly picked up a glass of wine from the table and splashed it on her face. “Sorry, I've got fat

fingers.” she pursed her lips and smiled.

As the wine washed out the heavy powder from Lilian's face and exposed her bruises, she covered

them in panic. However, they were still seen by Winona.

“Miss Tucker, were you hit by a car on your way out?”

Lilian covered her face and left hurriedly. When she got back to the VIP room, her phone rang. As she

answered the phone with trembling hands, frightening laughter of a man came from the phone, “Miss

Tucker, I hear there’s a huge video screen in Ruri Palace. If I project your sex video onto that screen,

you’ll definitely get national attention.”

Lilian just felt a terrible cold at her soles. She begged piteously, “No, no, I beg you...”

“All right, I’ll give you ten more minutes, or...”

Just then, he pressed the power button, then the laughter of men and the scream of a woman

penetrated through the phone.

It was just everything she had been through in the daytime. When hearing the sound again, she nearly

broke down.

At this moment, Winona had changed into her spare clothes, an aqua dress. Compared to that

stunning dress, this one brought out more of her elegance and her intellectual side.

As she sat there, someone tapped her on the shoulder from her back. When she turned around, her

face suddenly brightened. It was Reese Sullivan, her best friend.

They hugged and laughed with excitement as soon as they met.

Reese quipped, “If General Snider saw that we hugged each other, would he be jealous of me?”

Winona blushed, “Don’t make fun of me.”

“When women at the banquet saw your husband, their handsome and valorous General Snider making

you such a loving wife, they couldn’t wait to shoot you into Swiss cheese, bang, bang, bang...”

Unexpectedly, she said, “In fact, when I began to know that I had misled you with false information, I NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

felt very guilty. But now as I see you are very happy, I’m also happy for you.”

“Maybe... it was fate.”

“You’re right. The wicked has its own day. I heard Sharon Winston had ended up in a psychiatric

sanatorium. Her situation has become so dire that she even ate her own excrement and urine, and hurt

herself several times.”

Winona sneered inwardly, but at the same time she had to admire Sharon's willpower.

“Oh? I saw her once, but I don’t think she’s insane.”

“Oh god, do you mean she’s pretending to be insane?”

Reese suddenly had goose bumps all over, “What a phony! I felt disgusted even to think of her.”

She brought her tone down to a whisper, “I’ll tell you a secret. The Larson family had been trying to

have Benjamin Larson and Sharon Winston divorced. However, after getting back from the psychiatric

sanatorium, Benjamin gave up the idea unexpectedly. Recently, he went to the sanatorium to see her

almost every day.

Winona sneered, “He would only take the benefit of his family into account. After all, Mr. Andrew Larson

had been dismissed from his position, and some business of the Larson family were closed down. They

are having a tough time lately.”

“Everyone says that Andrew Larson had offended a somebody. A few days ago, his family mansion

was also smashed to pieces. It is said that nothing valuable is left, and Hazel Madron even got sick

from fury.”

All of a sudden, Winona thought of the night when Matt led his men out from the manor. So, he did all

this just to vent for her. The thought of this made her lips curl up.

Abruptly, Reese nudged her, “Good heavens, could that somebody be General Snider?”

Neither admitting nor denying it, Winona changed the subject placidly, “Your dad is going to make your

identity public?”

Reese was the illegitimate daughter of Mr. Sullivan, which had been a secret kept in their circle.

Shunned by the Sullivan family throughout her entire life, Reese was rarely seen in the public. Now she

appeared in the Ruri Palace openly, the reason cannot be anything but this.

“Hmph! He just wanted to get a good price for me.”

Raising her head, Reese drank the wine in her hand at a gulp. Though there was a smile on her face,

her eyes became moist.

Winona knew it clearly that for noble women like them, it was impossible to choose who they want to

marry. Most of them became the bonds of interests between two families, or were used as the leverage

to exchange benefits for the families. This was the dirty deal behind the so-called glory and honor.

She held her hands and assured her, “Don’t worry. You still have me. Just tell me if you fall for any Little

Fresh Meat. I’ll ask General Snider to capture him for you and sent you abroad. Would that be great?”

Reese burst out laughing. She was one of those beauties who bear careful looking, and this laughter

just made her bewitchingly charming.

Just then, an ambiguous gaze seemed to have rested upon Reese. Noticing that guy at once, Winona

winked at her, “There he is. A handsome guy in white is looking at you ten meters away.”

“Don’t be ridiculous!”

Following her eyes, Reese looked at that direction, and the smile on her face suddenly froze.

Staggered, she spilled the wine in her hands down her skirt.

“Sorry, I’ll be right back.”

Something was amiss with her, Winona thought. Apparently, Reese knew that man. She was always a

clean liver and had a very few male friends, whom she was familiar with. But that man didn’t ring any

bells.

She looked at that direction again but found that man had gone.

She was full of doubts as Reese would not hide anything from her, but she behaved so strangely today.

Just then, her phone beeped. It was a text message from Reese, “Sweetie, come to VIP Room 306 and

help me do up my zip at the back.”

Winona frowned, as Reese wouldn’t text her in this tone no matter how close they were. The only

possibility was that she was being controlled.
