Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

Chapter 399

399 Meeting Nancy

Brian pushed the door open and walked in. The faint smell of gunpowder, blood, and some weird and unrecognized substance filled the air.

He subconsciously knitted his brows and switched on the lights. The sitting room looked fine, so he called her number again.

Brian could hear her phone ringing from the inner room but no answer. Feeling odd, he walked towards the door to the inner room and slowly pushed it to create a small gap. He didn’t want to barge in on her if she was inside. The second he did that, the smell of gunpowder and blood became

thicker.

Brian’s heart dived as he forcefully pushed the door open and stepped in.

“Older sister…” he called softly, his voice had a tinge of fear in it.

He took a small step forward like his shoe was filled with mud. “Old- older sister?” he called again but still no response. Just as he took another step, his leg hit something and he tumbled over. Looking closely, he noticed it was a HUMAN!

Brian freaked out and immediately got to his feet then hurried to the wall and turned on the lights. Littering the floor were bodies of dead men in casual wear.

“Pink!” he screamed like a madman before dashing to the bathroom. The place was empty and there

was no sign that anyone got in.

Brian rushed back into the room and looked around the place, still he couldn’t find her. Anxiety gripped his heart as lots of thoughts overwhelmed him.

Who could have done this? He thought. Observing the dead guards, there was none that he was familiar with, so he couldn’t suspect his parents which left him with only one thought… her enemies!

At that moment, Mr. Hwang barged into the room looking flustered, afraid, and angry. He was standing by the front door when he heard Brian’s abnormal voice.

“Check who did this!” he ordered with a low and deadly voice.

Venom went forward to check the dead men but couldn’t find clues, so he shook his head.

“Check the CCTV footage!” Brian suggested. He was too anxious to think.

“It will be useless,” the man said to his pained son. At that moment, a thought flashed through his mind and Nancy’s words rang in his mind.

The man gritted his teeth before he turned to leave but Brian stopped him.

“You know who did it?” He saw the look on his father’s face. “I’ll go with you,” without waiting for his father to speak, he walked out first.

At the warehouse…

Nancy stepped out of her car looking elegant, classy, and prideful like always. The exotic aura around her could only be honed from years of acting cold, unfeeling, and stepping on people to achieve her dreams.

Behind her were numerous guards in casual wear, marching with great fearsome spirits with one mission; to make their madam happy.

The warehouse has lots of containers of the same color and looks. One of the containers was opened

by four strong men.

The loud cracking sound of the opening container disturbed Pink’s sleep and she slowly awoke. Opening her eyes, her sight came in contact with the bright sun that illuminated the space.

“Bring her out,” Nancy said curtly. I

Two men entered the container and dragged Pink out and then threw her in front of Nancy. Her hands were tied to her back so she doesn’t put up a resistance.

Staring at each other in the eyes, Nancy’s lips curled up. “Your eyes are still the same, with those fiery flames in them.” She looked at Death and ordered, “take off her disguise. I want to see what age has

done to her.”

Death stepped forward and took a handful of Pink’s hair, then yanked it backwards before digging his hand into Pink’s black pajamas.

Pink’s defiant eyes were resting on Nancy without uttering a word from pain, or anger.

“You are still so stubborn… and beautiful,” she stated when the mask was taken off. “No wonder

Hwang Min is still so crazy about you!

“Do you want to kill me?” Pink asked. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“No, at least not now. Let her go,” she ordered and Death did as told.

“How is your daughter, Jeslyn?”

Pink’s eyes shook and she immediately glared at her.

Nancy smiled faintly, “that’s not the look I want to see, but this is better than your arrogant and fearless look.”

Nancy gazed to her right, then left and commanded, “get me a seat.”

A guard stepped forward and knelt on four, offering his back for her to sit on.

There was no seat there and she knew it, so asking for a seat, this was exactly what she meant.

“We had an unfinished business that dated back to over 26 years ago. I didn’t look for you anymore because I thought you died from that attack but it seems you sacrificed your sister in your place.”

“Cut the crap!”

“Don’t be hasty. Angering me will do you no good.”

“You did worse in the past and nothing changed much…”

“This time is different. I have Hwang at the tip of my fingers, and Jeslyn… A bullet can fly through her skull with one command from me… should we experiment on that?”

“Nancy! I dare you!!” Pink yelled and tried to pull herself up but was kicked back down.

“It won’t be fun if you get injured so soon because I still need you to deal with that husband of mine. So, stay down and be obedient.” Nancy curled her lips but her cold eyes didn’t feel affected.

“Why did you come back? Don’t tell me it’s for Hwang?”

Pink ignored her and turned her face away. Seeing this, Nancy glanced at Death. The guy nodded and forcefully yanked Pink’s hair again, prompting her to look up.

“You know how much I hate attitudes. Did you not learn any lesson 26 years ago?”

“You’ve changed, you usually don’t talk this much. Why? Have you been very bored after marrying him? Ah, he must have been treating you like trash for over 26 years. I know Hwang Min and I’m sure that’s what happened…” Pink taunted. She thought by doing that, It would anger her and drive her to kill her, rather than use her against Hwang.

Pink had tasted Nancy’s evil tactics first hand in the past, so she has an idea of how the heartless

woman’s brain works.

Nancy’s guards looked angry but their Madam didn’t give them the command to pull out Pink’s tongue, so they held back their rage.
