Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 1671: Someone Is Hiding in the Room

So he turned around and left.

For these three years he had strictly kept his promise, never once disturbing the mother and daughter, and he hadn’t even held Danielle a single time.

Now, feeling Danielle’s soft little hand, Ethan Barnes tugged at his pale thin lips and smiled.

Little Danielle gave him a sweet smile in return.

Just then, a "bang bang" knocking sounded from the door, followed by a rough male voice outside, "Open up! Hurry up and open the door!"

Celeste Linden was startled, her heart instantly jumping into her throat. Damn, those men in black had found this place. Ethan Barnes’s men hadn’t arrived yet, and those guys in black had already sensed something was off and rushed over here.

"They’re here. You and Danielle hide first, I’ll open the door and check the situation," Celeste said immediately.

Ethan Barnes snapped to alertness too, his narrow eyes giving off a deep, cold gleam.

Celeste opened the wardrobe door. "Ethan, you and Danielle hide in the closet first. There are no cameras here, they can’t be sure you’re at my place. You two hide, I’ll stall them for a bit and try to send them away."

Ethan glanced at the cramped wardrobe door, his brows knitting. "You think I’m going to hide in there?"

"..."

Seriously, is this really the time to act all proud? Keeping your life is a bit more important, okay.

The knocking at the door turned more frantic, "Bang bang bang," louder than before. "Open up, hurry up! If you don’t open the door we’re kicking it in!"

"Suit yourself, I’m going to open it."

Celeste quickly walked out, shut the bedroom door, then opened the front door of the little house.

Two men in black were standing outside. They ran their eyes up and down Celeste. "Why did you take so long to open the door? You got someone suspicious hiding inside?"

As they spoke, the two men in black shoved Celeste aside and barged in.

Inside it was quiet, not a trace of anything out of place. Celeste followed behind them, speaking in a small, timid voice, "Brothers, I haven’t seen anyone suspicious. I was sleeping just now, so I came out a bit late."

The two men in black fixed their gaze on Celeste, taking in her gentle, beautiful face and her curvy, seductive figure. They exchanged a look, a lewd gleam flashing in their eyes.

"Little girl, just now we seemed to see you hugging your boyfriend at the door. How come your boyfriend’s not spending the night here?"

Celeste shook her head. "No, we’re not married yet, so..."

"Hahaha, so you’re still a virgin, huh. Since your boyfriend won’t keep you company, we’ll do it for him."

The two men in black reached out with their disgusting paws, trying to grope Celeste.

Celeste dodged back. She hadn’t expected that after slipping past their interrogation, these two would suddenly get lustful ideas about her. Her luck tonight was really rotten.

Celeste glanced at the tightly shut bedroom door, her heart tightening. She was afraid Ethan and Danielle would be discovered, so she could only force a smile and say, "Big brothers, don’t joke around. My parents are out front running a barbecue stall, they’ll be back soon."

But the two men in black were totally fearless, lunging at her. "It’s fine, little sis, just play with us for a bit."

Celeste backed away. As the man in black threw himself at her, she whipped out a self-defense stun baton and slammed it hard against his body.

The man in black’s eyes rolled shut, and he collapsed to the floor, unconscious.

The other man in black’s face darkened. "You little bitch, we give you face and you spit on it, huh? Watch how I kill you tonight."

He raised his hand and swung it toward Celeste’s face.
