The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

“Mr. Lester said that we have to catch them alive,” one of the men instructed loudly, shaking the stun baton he was holding in his hand. Janet and Laney could almost make out the sound of electrical buzzing.

As soon as it dawned on Laney that danger was coming their way, she took two steps back with Janet, but several more people immediately had them surrounded.

At the same time, they were about ten meters away from the exit, but Ritchie’s men were everywhere. If they wanted to get away, they would have to play smart.

However, Laney had no time to think up ways of escape now.

As soon as Ritchie issued the order, more than a dozen men charged at them. Laney fought them off to the best of her ability.

She had been an experienced fighter for over ten years. She was adept at fighting, with or without weapons. The guards, who tried to attack her with their stun batons, were quickly blocked by her hands and feet.

Standing behind Laney, Janet hurried to take a ceramic vase and smashed it down heavily onto the head of one of the men that had rushed over.

“Don’t bother getting your hands dirty. I’ll do my best to protect you.” Sweat poured off of Laney’s forehead. She quickly raised her foot and kicked the man who was about to capture Janet in his arms.

They stood back to back, surrounded by those men out to get them.

Tears welled up in Janet’s eyes when she heard what Laney said. She pursed her lips tightly and glanced over at Laney. “This is all my fault. I didn’t want to drag you down with me, but somehow I got you into this fix.”

Laney was stunned at first and then smiled gently after hearing her words.
