Chapter 125: Silly Bride Chapter 125

In just a week, Garland Group’s stocks were shorted by Winnie and Nathaniel. The two of them bought the majority of the shares at a low price, and Hamish’s private investment projects all went down the drain overnight, causing him to become heavily in debt within the span of a few days.All the real estate under his name had been offset by the bank, leaving only a mansion in the inner ring that was temporarily not seized by the bank due to the ownership issue.That was also the mansion where Winnie was temporarily staying in.Only then did Hamish think of going back to that house.Since Yara still had a lot of properties under her name and she was still married to Hamish, he wanted to ask for money from her to solve his current crisis.However, Hamish only remembered that his wife was not at the mansion when he returned to the residence.When the room was haunted that night, Hamish became frightened. Furthermore, he shunned Yara after she went crazy and drove away by himself.He didn’t even bother asking where Yara had gone or what she was doing afterward.Hamish had always been a cold and selfish person who had no regard for his wife’s well-being.However, the situation had changed, and he needed Yara’s money to save himself.Therefore, Hamish immediately called her.Much to his dismay, his call went unanswered, and he became infuriated at once.After smashing many things in the living room, Hamish slightly regained his senses. Then, he called Nancy, the housekeeper who had been serving Yara for years.Nancy answered the phone immediately.“Hello, Mr.

Garland. I was about to call you. I didn’t expect you to call me first.”Hamish did not have time to listen to Nancy’s nagging and went straight to the point. “Where’s Yara hiding now? Did anyone from the bank or court reach out to you both? Forget it. It’s pointless to ask you. Just pass her the phone!”“But Mrs. Garland is…” Nancy’s voice trailed off.With his patience wearing thin, Hamish snapped at the woman. “I told you to pass the phone to Yara! Are you deaf?”Even though Nancy was just a housekeeper, she was also a human with a temper.“All right, I’ll pass it to her! Why are you so mad?

It’s useless even if she answered your call,” she muttered lowly.Luckily for Nancy, Hamish didn’t hear her words. He only knew that the phone was passed to Yara after a long time.Moreover, he also heard the conversation between Nancy and Yara on the other end of the phone.“Mrs. Garland, please answer the phone. It’s from Mister,” explained Nancy.Feeling puzzled, Yara asked, “Huh? Which Mister are you talking about?”“Your husband, Mr. Garland.”“Do you mean Hamish Garland? He’s Lorelei’s husband, isn’t he? Wait, no! Hamish is my husband! Quickly pass me the phone!”Upon hearing that, Hamish already sensed that something was wrong with Yara. She’s behaving strangely.Picking up the phone, Yara uttered softly, “Darling, please save me. I’m so scared!”“Yara, what the h*ll are you doing? You’d better come back now. I have something important to discuss with you!” Hamish barked.“Hush, Darling!

Keep your voice down.” Yara did not seem to have heard Hamish’s words. If anything, she was in her own world.“Lorelei is here. She has always been here. She wants to take revenge on us. Did you hurt her in the past? You’ll attract her attention if you’re being so loud. Please come and save me. I’m terrified. There are no ghosts in heaven. It’s paradise there! Darling, can you take me there?” Yara asked. “Yara! What’s wrong with you?”“Hush, Darling! You’ll summon Lorelei’s spirit if you keep shouting.”“Yara, are you messing with me?” Hamish probed angrily.Sobbing, Yara protested, “No!

Please don’t take me away. I’m so scared.”Sensing that Yara had lost her marbles, Hamish yelled, “Nancy? Nancy!”Nancy only picked up the phone again after comforting Yara.She explained, “Sir, this is what I wanted to tell you just now. Mrs. Garland hasn’t been in her right mind since she moved here that night. I accompanied her to the hospital to see a psychiatrist. The doctor said she was suffering from persecutory delusion. Mrs. Garland tried to call you before. However, your secretary kept saying that you were in meetings. What should I do now? She doesn’t want to go to the hospital anymore. She kept saying that a ghost was haunting her and trying to harm her. It’s really frightening to see her in this state. Mr. Garland, why don’t you stop by here?”Hamish felt like he was losing his mind.

“What the h*ll is going on? How did she end up like this after just a few days? Tell me, did anyone from court come to you in the past few days?”“No.”“Fine. I’ll be right there. You’d better keep an eye on her!

It’s fine if she loses her mind, but you mustn’t let her run away!” Hamish instructed.If Yara runs away, I’ll lose my last remaining ATM.Meanwhile, on the second floor, Winnie watched the scene unfold in the living room downstairs with a detached look on her face.When she saw Hamish leave, she took out her phone and called Nancy.“Tell Yara that Lorelei will get her revenge once Hamish is dead. Then, Lorelei’s spirit won’t haunt her anymore,” Winnie said impassively.After a short while, she also drove over to Yara’s mansion.Hamish was driving a kilometer ahead of Winnie on the road.Winnie pulled over under the shade of a tree in front of the mansion. Then, she took out her phone and turned on the surveillance cameras.Under Winnie’s instruction, Nancy had already installed hidden cameras in the mansion. At that moment, the scene of Hamish entering the mansion appeared on the screen.When Hamish went inside the house, Yara was wrapping herself up with a blanket, trembling on the bed.Even so, Hamish did not think of comforting his wife. Instead, he yanked the blanket off Yara before arguing with her.Yara had long lost her sanity. After being startled by Hamish, she immediately took cover in the closet.Besides, Hamish had no intention to continue talking to Yara, so he directly asked Nancy to bring him Yara’s phone.Even though Winnie could not see the contents on the phone screen through the surveillance cameras, it was not hard for her to guess what Hamish was doing at that moment.He must be transferring Yara’s assets.While Hamish was busy using the phone, Nancy opened the closet and dragged out the insane Yara. Then, she whispered something to the latter’s ear.At first, Yara was overwhelmed with fear upon hearing Nancy’s words, then she instantly stared at Hamish while laughing eerily.With that, Yara went to the kitchen. When she reappeared in the room, she was holding a sharp knife.Hamish was in the middle of transferring money. Hence, he did not even notice Yara, who had edged closer to his side.Just like that, Hamish, who was oblivious to what was happening around him, was suddenly stabbed in the back.
