Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 1724: Marriage Registration, Wedding

Celeste Linden felt her body becoming weightless again, the fear of him throwing her out the window still lingered, and she trembled at the thought of how this amnesiac tyrant might cause her death.

The old man stopped Ethan Barnes, "Ethan, stand where you are. If you dare to touch Celeste Linden, then you’ll have to step over my dead body!"

The old man slammed his cane heavily against the ground.

Ethan Barnes’s powerful chest heaved with anger, and he quickly sat on the rattan chair. His broad, wild back rested against it, making the chair creak as if unable to bear his fury.

"I won’t marry that woman!"

"Then who do you want to marry?"

"I don’t want to marry anyone. Do I have to get married? I want to live alone until the end... no, I already have a daughter, old man! Why are you meddling?"

The old man was also angry, looking at Ethan’s carefree demeanor, realizing he was truly intending never to marry.

"Fine, if you won’t marry Celeste Linden, then I’ll have Celeste take Danielle away, you can grow old alone!"

As soon as he heard Danielle might be taken away, Ethan Barnes immediately said, "No way, no one can dare touch my daughter, I’ll fight anyone who tries!"

"Then marry Celeste Linden!" the old man roared.

The room sank into a heavy oppressive silence, and after a moment of confrontation, Ethan Barnes said, "Where’s that woman? Let her come in!"

Outside the door, Celeste Linden’s heart skipped a beat, she was unexpectedly summoned by the amnesiac tyrant.

Celeste Linden walked in.

As soon as she entered, Ethan Barnes abruptly stood up from the rattan chair, striding towards her with a forceful aura.

Soon, he was right in front of her, raising his hand, a solid fist swinging directly towards her.

Ah!

Celeste Linden was so frightened she covered her face with her hands, truly thinking he was going to hit her.

Bam.

A loud sound echoed in her ear, but no sharp pain followed. Celeste Linden opened her eyes to find Ethan Barnes’s solid fist had punched the wall beside her.

She could see the wall dent inward where he had struck it.

Celeste Linden looked up at the man in front of her, his massive shadow engulfing her like an out-of-control beast, seemingly wishing to tear her apart.

"You really want to marry me that much? You really want to be the Barnes family’s mistress? I see, you’re just trying to climb the social ladder through my daughter, you scheming woman!" he remarked, biting each word.

Forced into the role of a "scheming woman," Celeste Linden was speechless, but she grew accustomed to it. She had to learn to coexist peacefully with this amnesiac tyrant.

With courage, Celeste Linden said, "Mr. Barnes, actually, we don’t have to marry. Just give me Danielle!"

"I don’t like hearing nonsense, save the chatter for later!"

"...Mr. Barnes, then we have no choice but to marry!"

Ethan Barnes stared at her for a moment, then withdrew his fist. He coldly replied, "Hope you won’t regret it!"

He abruptly walked away.

Does that mean he agreed?

Celeste Linden didn’t know where he planned to go.

At that moment, Ethan Barnes glanced back at her, seemingly disdainful of her awkwardness, "What are you standing there for, didn’t you want to marry? Let’s go now and get the marriage certificate."

"Oh." Celeste Linden quickly followed behind him.

The two of them arrived at the civil affairs bureau, and Celeste Linden was filled with emotion. She’d never imagined in her lifetime that she’d come to this place with Ethan Barnes.

She was about to marry this devil, this tyrant!
