Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride
Chapter 1208 - 1203: I Won’t Let You Off
Seeing Nicholas Croft finish his call and grab his coat to leave, Hannah Hargrave hurriedly chased after him, grabbing his arm, "Nicholas, where are you going?"
Nicholas turned his eyes towards her and coldly said, "To take care of my wife."
"Nicholas, you can’t do this." Hannah shook her head frantically, "You’ve already divorced her, I’m the rightful wife, you can’t treat me like this..."
"Can’t I?" Nicholas’s lips curled into a mocking smile, his eyes suddenly sharp like daggers aiming at Hannah, then abruptly contracted. Hannah was startled, barely reacting as Nichola’s large hand grabbed her collar, his handsome face slowly approaching, with barely contained danger in his tensely focused eyes.
"Since you viciously locked up my wife illegally, why should I be kind to you, huh?"
Nicholas’s large hand forcefully lifted upwards, making Hannah bob on her tiptoes, like a panicked chick being held by Nicholas.
Her expression became more frantic as she licked her lips and attempted to explain something.
"Nicholas, listen to me... It’s not what you think..."
"Then what is it?" Nicholas raised his brow, his slightly hazy eyes carrying a touch of danger as Hannah instinctively swallowed, meekly saying, "Nicholas, don’t be like this, you’ll scare me. Actually... I rescued Sophie Foster..."
Nicholas’s eyes narrowed again at Hannah’s shameless words.
"Really, Nicholas, if I hadn’t called the ambulance in time, she might have been in mortal danger."
His mind occupied with his wife, Nicholas had no energy to continue entangling with Hannah. He curled his lips into a cold smile, the tightened eyes full of danger, approaching Hannah’s face and saying through gritted teeth.
"Hannah, I’m going to care for my wife now, I don’t have time to tangle with you. And when I get the chance..." Pausing here, Nicholas’s lip curl induced a sense of horror before he continued, "I will make you pay!"
Upon finishing, his large hand jerked, causing Hannah to stagger back a few steps and sit on the marble floor.
Looking at the man’s resolute back, Hannah called unwillingly, "Nicholas..."
The response was a loud slam of the door.
Staring at the tightly shut door, Hannah bit her lip, sobbing. They say women change easily, but it turns out, so do men. Last night they were still intertwined; the marks of intimacy still linger on her neck, yet he...
Hannah helplessly shook her head, "Nicholas, you can’t treat me like this..."
In the kitchen, Aunt Wang secretly peeked out, saw Hannah sitting helplessly on the marble floor crying, gritted her teeth and muttered to herself, "Serves you right!"
Even though the master didn’t say anything, she overheard some information during conversations between a few of his brothers that his wife was kidnapped by her sister and used it to coerce the master into marrying her.
Despite being the housekeeper, Aunt Wang felt injustice for her master and his wife.
Just about to turn around to continue tidying the kitchen, Aunt Wang noticed Panda Eyes wagging its tail at her, eyes turning with a smirk appeared, squatting down close to Panda Eyes’s ear, pointing at Hannah, whispered, "Go, scare that wicked woman."
As soon as Aunt Wang spoke, Panda Eyes darted off, running to Hannah and barking wildly at her.
"Ah..." Hannah screamed, disregarding her grievance, climbed up from the floor, hurriedly dodged Panda Eyes, frantically running up the stairs.
Panda Eyes wanted to chase after, but was called back by Aunt Wang, who deliberately raised her voice to scold, "You beast! What’s with the barking? Don’t you know that’s our new mistress!"
