A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Lyana knew Thomas had to be with Vincent now.

On the other end of the line, Thomas was amazed. He didn’t have the Moon Goddess at all.

Thomas thought about it. He seemed to have understood what Lyana had said. Her heart sank as she glanced at Vincent, who was sitting nearby.

They exchanged a look.

Vincent’s expression turned cold. He taps his fingers lightly on the coffee table.

Thomas paused for a moment. The second young master had typed in a Morse code which meant: Danger.

Thomas hastened to smile and said:

– Okay madam. I will return the necklace immediately.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

On the other end of the line, Lyana breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Thomas’s words. Worried about being exposed, she hung up without hesitation.

It seemed that Thomas understood what she meant.

Thomas should be with Vincent. They would certainly both come to save her.

Lyana breathed a sigh of relief. Now she just had to wait.

Ding-dong.

The doorbell rang again.

The four kidnappers eyed the front door warily.

Lyana’s heart instantly raced to her throat. Something was wrong. It had only been ten minutes, and they were already there?

At that time, the voice of a young, sweet girl came from outside the door.

– Hello, room service.

The four men exchanged glances.

The atmosphere in the room instantly became tense.

The leader pointed his gun at Lyana and coldly ordered:

– Tell her now that you don’t need room service.

The girl behind the door said quietly:

– Miss Dubois, I’m really sorry. Please open the door. Mr. Chavez will give the first three participants of this competition a jade bracelet which has been blessed by the Living Buddha. He said he wanted me to personally deliver it to each participant.

Lyana tilted her head to look at the chef, as if asking for his opinion.

The leader frowned even more and whispered:

– Just ask him to leave the gift at the door.

Lyana said:

– Help me thank Mr Chavez. Just leave the gift at my door. I’ll go get it later.

– Miss Dubois, this gift must be delivered to you personally.

Lyana said:

– Thank you for your good intentions, Mr Chavez, but leave him at the door. I’ll explain later.

– Miss Dubois, if it’s not practical for you to go out and retrieve him, I can just open the door and send him inside.

Outside the door, the lady’s tone grew stiffer.

The ruler’s eyes were filled with killing intent.

– Wait, I’ll go get it now. However, I have to talk to the bodyguard first. Please wait a moment.

After Lyana finished speaking, the killing intent in the leader’s eyes gradually faded away.

Lyana breathed a sigh of relief. She turned to look at the leader and said softly:

– You must know what kind of person Mr. Chavez is, right? If this thing blows up, even if you kill me and get the Moon Goddess, I don’t think you’ll have a chance to leave this place alive.

– Why don’t I bring things inside? By the time she leaves, the danger will have been resolved.

Lyana paused before continuing:

– I want to live well, and you want to accomplish the mission, don’t you?

The leader stood there in silence, as if considering what Lyana had said.

Lyana didn’t know if he would agree. In fact, there were a few small flaws in his words. If we find them, it could be over.

If she could cooperate with these people and get the hotel duty lady to send the item, it would be better for both of them. Moreover, Mr. Chavez would not know what happened here.

However, there was a problem. This case would not benefit him at all.

If the hotel lady on duty broke in, the dead person would be the hotel lady on duty, not her.

After all, how could a person who has been kidnapped deliberately help the kidnappers offload their responsibility?

Lyana thought that as long as she opened the door and was given a chance, she would take the opportunity to escape. Besides, it was his only chance.

The leader thought for a long moment before saying:

– Very well, we will do as you say. If you dare play tricks, I’ll kill you.

The chief put away his pistol and motioned for his men to open the door.

Lyana gave the chef an indifferent look. Without the threat of the gun, his chances of winning were higher.

One of the men opened the door and stood in the doorway. He looked coldly at the hotel service lady and said:

– Now you can give me the present.

– No, I want to put it on Miss Dubois personally.

A trace of ruthlessness appeared in the man’s eyes.

Seeing this, Lyana quickly approached with a smile. She gently patted the man’s shoulder and said:

– It’s just a bracelet. Why be nervous?

The man nodded stiffly.

When the Chief saw Lyana heading for the door, he became alert and quickly grabbed the gun from his pocket.

A gleam crossed Lyana’s eyes as she calmly extended her hand to the lady on duty at the hotel.

A bright smile appeared on the face of the hotel service lady. She was about to pull out the necklace and help Lyana put it on.

Lyana grabbed the hotel service woman’s hand and pushed her out without hesitation. She also threw herself on her without hesitation.

Seeing that Lyana was about to escape, the man standing at the door reached out to grab her.

Lyana was much faster than him. She took the silver needle out of her hand and planted it in the man’s palm without hesitation.

The man quickly let go in pain.

When the leader saw this, his face darkened and he cursed,

– F*ck.

As he spoke, he pulled out his gun and aimed for Lyana’s arm without hesitation!

Bang!

Bang!

Two shots ring out in Lyana’s ears.

It was only then that Lyana noticed that the rear shot had been fired by William.

A trace of surprise crossed his heart.

Bang!

When the two balls collide in the air, a high-pitched squeak is heard.

The lady on duty at the hotel was shocked by this sudden change. Without hesitation, she opened the door next to her with her multi-purpose room card and quickly entered.

At that time, there was a middle-aged bald man in the bedroom, having sex with his little lover.

When the man heard the door open, he looked impatient and growled:

– What is happening ? Why are you entering my room? Do you think I’ll complain about you later?

At that time, the kidnappers chased them.

All the weapons they had prepared were silencers. Even if they were to fight here, Mr. Chavez wouldn’t notice them anytime soon.

They looked at Lyana with reddened eyes, secretly vowing to catch her.

The leader held his gun and fired another shot at Lyana without hesitation.

William saw the ball immediately. Without hesitation, he used his body to block her for Lyana. He couldn’t help but growl.

Lyana quickly brought William into the room. Without hesitation, she closed the door and locked it.

She didn’t expect William, who usually didn’t like her, to help her take a bullet.

At that time, the two people in the room who were exercising on the bed were screaming in fear, but Lyana couldn’t hear anything. Her gaze fell on William.

William’s white shirt was stained with blood.

Lyana’s hands shook involuntarily, her heart was filled with panic.

Was he going to die?

– William, you…

When William heard Lyana’s voice, he grabbed her hand. His face was pale and ugly. Without hesitation, he interrupted Lyana.

– Listen to me now. These people must be mercenaries. They’re the kind of people who won’t stop until they reach their goal. The car is down. Now jump down with me.

When the two people who were initially making love in the bedroom saw that someone had been shot, they were so scared that they hid under the covers and dared not make a sound.

At this time, the lady on duty at the hotel quickly walked over to the bedside table and called the security guard without hesitation.

– Security, it’s Irene. Please tell Mr. Chavez that Miss Dubois encountered a thief and that Mr. Royer was also hit. Please call an ambulance quickly.
