Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 1707: He’s Here

"Boss, bad news, the missus and Danielle have been taken by Samuel Barnes and Carlotta!" the trusted subordinate said anxiously.

Ethan Barnes pursed his thin lips. He could understand Samuel Barnes since he and this drug lord had been rivals for a long time, but Carlotta...

"When did they start colluding?"

"That’s not clear for now. It’s estimated that when you abandoned her at the Elysium hot springs, she turned her love into hate and colluded with Samuel Barnes."

Ethan’s gaze had turned cold, devoid of any warmth. He had shown mercy due to past affection and spared Carlotta a chance, but he didn’t expect her to seek death by stubbornly walking down this path of no return.

"Boss, here’s a note from Samuel Barnes."

Ethan reached out to take it and opened the note. Inside were Carlotta’s handwritten words: Ethan Barnes, if you want Celeste Linden and her daughter, come alone to Celestia Isle. You’d better not try anything clever, or I’ll make sure they die without a complete corpse!

"Boss, Celestia Isle is an uninhabited island. Samuel Barnes and his people have surely set a trap there just waiting for you. You absolutely can’t go alone!"

Ethan clenched his fist, crumpled the note into a ball, and threw it into the trash can. He pushed past his subordinate and ran downstairs, "Even if it’s a dragon’s den or a tiger’s lair, I’m going there to rescue them!"

...

Celestia Isle.

Celeste Linden and Danielle were tied up, and Carlotta stood before them, smiling with satisfaction, "Celeste Linden, you never thought you’d see this day, did you?"

Celeste looked at Samuel Barnes beside Carlotta, a man full of chilly, violent air. He must be the notorious drug lord with hands stained in countless blood.

"Carlotta, you’ve actually sided with this inhumane drug lord. Have you thought about your fate? Dancing with wolves, you’ll only become their prey!"

Carlotta wasn’t afraid anymore. She was utterly consumed by hatred, her mind distorted, "Who forced me into this? It was you all, wasn’t it?"

Danielle looked at the woman with a fierce countenance and said in her childish voice, "Hmph, bad auntie, you can’t hurt me and my mommy because my daddy will come and rescue us!"

Carlotta often dreamed of having her own child. When she first saw the adorable Danielle, she liked her very much. But why did she have to be Celeste Linden’s daughter?

Carlotta reached out and pinched Danielle’s carved little face, "Do you believe I’ll kill you first so you won’t have a chance to see your daddy?"

"Carlotta, you dare!" Celeste swiftly voiced, "Danielle is Ethan’s daughter, his only child. If you hurt Danielle, you’ll lose your leverage against Ethan!"

At this moment, Samuel Barnes stepped up and wrapped his arm around Carlotta’s shoulder, smiling as he advised, "Carlotta, no need to rush. You’re not short of time to deal with this mother and daughter. Let’s wait for Ethan to arrive, we’ll take care of him, and then send this mother and daughter down to accompany him in the grave."

Carlotta had to hold back her anger and released Danielle, "Then wait, your daddy will be here soon!"

Just then, a subordinate hurriedly ran in, "Boss, Ethan Barnes is here!"

Samuel Barnes immediately laughed heartily, "He came so quickly. It seems this mother and daughter definitely mean a lot to him."

He then ordered, "Take this child to another place first."
