A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

William’s gaze instantly turned cold. He clenched his fists very tightly. Without thinking, he knew those people were definitely here for the Moon Goddess.

MY was a country where weapons could be carried at will.

William knew that Lyana was a stubborn person. Faced with these people, it was very likely that something would happen.

At that moment, William had only one thought in mind, that of saving her.

William returned to the elevator.

At this moment, in the room.

Lyana’s back was covered in sweat. She followed the man obediently, not daring to make any rash moves.

If she had been further away from the gun, she was quite sure she could have dodged the shot.

However, they were both too close to each other now. Also, the room was relatively small. If the other party fired, she would die for sure.

Lyana glanced at the other four. If she was right, whoever was pointing a gun at her must have been the leader of these people.

– Find it.

The man coldly ordered, and the three began to search everywhere.

The originally clean and tidy room instantly found itself in chaos.

Lyana stood there quietly, leaving them to search.

Are they looking for the moon goddess?

Although the three men searched the whole room, they couldn’t find what they wanted. So they shook their heads in the direction of their leader.

There was a scar on the chief’s face. The scar started from the corner of his left eye and went to the right corner of his mouth, crossing his entire face.

The leader asked angrily,

– Where is the Moon Goddess?

Lyana knew these people must be looking for the Moon Goddess.

When the man didn’t get a response from Lyana, he pointed the gun at his forehead with more force. Lyana’s forehead turned red.

– I will ask you again. Where is the Moon Goddess? If you dare play tricks on me, I’ll send you to hell.

Lyana frowned in pain, but she didn’t make a sound.

Lyana’s mind raced. In this situation, she could only save herself.

She knew deep down that these four people were definitely no ordinary mercenaries. They were all ruthless and had probably killed hundreds of people.

If she did as they said and handed over the Moon Goddess now, they would definitely kill her.

If she didn’t hand over the Moon Goddess now, she would definitely suffer a lot. However, she still had a chance to survive.

Seeing that Lyana was silent, the leader seemed to understand what she was thinking. He says impatiently:

– Cursed woman, I advise you not to play tricks. My patience has limits. If you give me the Moon Goddess now, I’ll consider letting you live. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.

Consider letting her live?

These words made Lyana believe even more that this man had never thought of letting her live.

From the time the four of them entered the room until now, Lyana had been acting very scared. She knew very well that it was the only way to let their guard down.

Lyana’s lips quivered slightly and she stammered:

– The Moon Goddess is not with me.

– If you say another word of nonsense, I’ll send you to hell. You won this competition and took the Moon Goddess. How can she not be with you?

said the chief impatiently.

From the words of this person, Lyana could tell that these four people had been ordered by someone to remove the Moon Goddess. Moreover, she was very sure that the mastermind also participated in this stone game contest. In order to avoid any commotion, Mr. Chavez had not announced the exact situation to the public, let alone the identity of the champion.

Each event had its rules. Even if it were to be announced soon, it wouldn’t be now.

Therefore, the person who knew she had the Moon Goddess was definitely there.

His first reaction was to think that it was very likely that Claire or Regine had done this.

However, she didn’t think so.

Most of the Silva family’s resources were in the country, and Claire was certainly alone and helpless here.

However, it didn’t look like Regine did. If Livio Dunn had deliberately come looking for trouble, he would have sent someone to settle the matter when his leg was injured, not now.

On the spot, Regine had said that as long as she agreed to kneel down and apologize to Livio Dunn, this case would be over.

Therefore, if Livio Dunn were to seek her out, it would definitely be for her face, not the moon goddess.

Lyana’s body shook involuntarily. With a look of panic, she said:

– No, don’t kill me. I am going to tell you. I will tell you everything.

Seeing that Lyana was being tactful, the man calmed down.

Lyana took a deep breath. Her eyes were red, like she was really scared. She quickly said:

– After I got the Moon Goddess, I gave it to my assistant. I wanted him to go to the airport to check her in and quickly send her back to An City.

Lyana’s voice shook slightly, as if she was very scared.

– An City?

The leader frowned, looking displeased.

If the Moon Goddess really came to An City, then this case would be troublesome.

Lyana said cautiously:

– Because my hometown is in An City, so I…

The chief was furious. He swore,

– F*ck!

and was about to shoot Lyana to kill him.

Lyana hastened to say:

– But the assistant left half an hour ago. I don’t think he’s at the airport yet. If we go now, we should be able to get there…

Lyana’s voice was getting softer and softer, like she was really scared the boss would beat her to death.

When the man heard Lyana’s words, a trace of hope flashed through his eyes. He asked :

– What is the name of your assistant?

– Thomas.

Lyana thought,© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Sorry, I’m going to borrow your name.”

When the man heard Lyana’s words, he frowned slightly. He seemed to have heard that name before, but he couldn’t remember it clearly.

Lyana nodded eagerly and said:

– He’s my assistant.

The man quickly said to his other two subordinates:

– Hurry up and chase him.

The two subordinates answered and headed for the door. Before they could open it, their leader stopped them.

– Come back. This case still cannot be made public. We must solve it calmly.

At that moment, the chef’s eyes wandered, finally landing on Lyana’s face.

– Call your assistant now and ask him to bring back the Moon Goddess.

As he spoke, the leader motioned for his subordinate to pass him the phone that Lyana had placed on the bedside table.

Lyana had a bad feeling.

If she called Thomas now, wouldn’t everything be revealed?

As he spoke, the chief opened the safety of his weapon. As long as he pulled the trigger, Lyana’s head would explode.

– I’m telling you, don’t play with me. If you lie, I’ll kill you on the spot.

Hearing that, it seemed like she had no choice but to make that call.

Thomas was Vincent’s bodyguard and secretary. Lyana thought he must be quite capable.

While comforting herself, Lyana called Thomas.

Thomas’ puzzled voice came out of the phone.

– Madam.

Thomas was very surprised. He hadn’t expected Lyana to call him then.

At this time, the four kidnappers were staring fiercely at Lyana.

Lyana pretended to be shocked and said hastily:

– You haven’t arrived at the airport yet, have you?

– Of course not. I was with…

Without hesitation, Lyana interrupted Thomas and quickly said:

– Thomas, I have thought about it. I think it is best that I personally deliver the Moon Goddess to the Old Lady. She will be happier. Hurry to bring her back! Let no one know. I want to surprise the Old Lady.
