Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 1706: Abducted

Celeste Linden’s pupils contracted, immediately aware of the danger, "Who are you?"

The man in the baseball cap looked up, revealing a fierce and sinister face, "I’m the one here to send you off, all because you offended someone you shouldn’t have!"

Who did we offend?

At that moment, the man in the baseball cap raised a knife and stabbed it towards Danielle.

"No!" Celeste Linden immediately lunged forward, clutching the man in the baseball cap tightly. She shouted to Danielle, "Danielle, run!"

"Mommy!" Danielle’s face turned pale with fear, watching her mommy in danger, she didn’t want to run away alone.

"Danielle, run, go to the hall outside and call for help, run!"

Danielle glanced at her mommy, then sprinted outside. As she ran, she shouted loudly, "Help, help!"

The man in the baseball cap didn’t expect the mother and daughter to be so clever. Now Celeste Linden held him tightly, and with all mothers, when their children are in danger, they explode with tremendous energy. He couldn’t break free from Celeste Linden at the moment.

"If it weren’t for someone wanting to keep you alive and torment you, I’d kill you right now!" the man in the baseball cap snarled.

Celeste Linden’s heart jumped to her throat, hoping Danielle could run a little faster, faster. "Who is that person, is it Carlotta?"

The man in the baseball cap’s eyes flickered.

Celeste Linden knew she guessed right, it was indeed Carlotta, she actually hired thugs to attack them.

Celeste Linden forcefully pushed, shoving the man in the baseball cap away, then turned around and ran.

"Danielle, run!"

Danielle had already reached the door, she extended her little hand to open it. It was bright outside with many people, as long as she ran out, she and her mommy would be saved.

But in the next second, a big hand reached out and covered Danielle’s mouth and nose.

Danielle inhaled a scent, then her eyes closed and she fainted.

Seeing Danielle fall into the hands of a man in black, Celeste Linden’s eyes flashed with panic, "Danielle! Danielle!"

At this moment, the man in the baseball cap caught up from behind, and struck towards her neck.

Celeste Linden only felt a pain in her neck, then her body went limp and she collapsed on the ground.

The man in black picked up Danielle and said to the man in the baseball cap, "Take this mother and daughter out, call the boss and tell him we’ve succeeded."

"Got it."

...

Ethan Barnes had locked himself in the study, he hadn’t slept all night.

The study was filled with the pungent smell of smoke, and he still held a lit cigarette in his slender fingers, the ashtray on the desk brimming with cigarette butts.

He could only rely on the nicotine smoke to numb himself, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to resist going to find Celeste Linden and her daughter, he would bring them back, bring them to his side.

Yet he repeatedly reminded himself not to hurt them again, to let them go.

Let it be.

He would spend the rest of his long life alone like this.

At that moment, a sudden "knock knock" sounded on the door, followed by the frantic voice of his confidant, "Boss, something bad happened, something bad happened!"

Ethan Barnes frowned deeply, cursing under his breath, even at this time, he couldn’t get any peace, "What is it, speak louder!"

"Boss, just got word, your wife and Danielle have been taken by someone."

What?

Ethan Barnes immediately sprang up, rushing over to yank open the study door, "Say it again."
