Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1053: It’s You Again!

Seeing Carney Shaw, Leah Thorne’s expression changed. She quickly grabbed Tanya Sullivan’s small hand and led her into the wooden house. "Tanya, let’s hide quickly."

Serena Sterling put away her silver needle and walked over. "What happened?"

"Carney Shaw is here."

Serena frowned slightly. "Before we came over, I already sent a message to Mr. Crawford. I didn’t expect Mr. Crawford not to come, but instead, this Carney Shaw showed up."

Hayden Crawford and Justin Xavier are on their way by private jet. They should arrive soon, but Carney Shaw got here first.

Leah’s face also looked serious. "Now my brother... Cain Shaw is still unconscious, and outside Carney Shaw has arrived. The situation is unfavorable for us."

Tanya didn’t speak. She looked outside through the tiny glass window, noticing that although the villagers and the aunties were trying their best to stop Carney Shaw and didn’t reveal any information about Cain Shaw and her, it was obvious that Carney Shaw was not easy to fool, and he didn’t believe the villagers’ words.

"Do you think I’ll believe you when you say that the person I’m looking for isn’t here? Let me tell you the truth, we’ve been eating and sleeping rough for two months to find this place. This morning, we received exact information that two months ago, you saved someone, and your village doctor even went to town to buy medicine. Am I right?"

The villagers were kind-hearted and sincere. Although they wanted to protect Cain Shaw and Tanya, they were not good at lying.

Now, being exposed by Carney Shaw, the villagers were stunned, and their eyes began to show signs of guilt.

This further confirmed Carney Shaw’s suspicions. He sneered, "Where is Cain Shaw now? Hand him over to me quickly!"

"Sir, we... we really don’t know what you’re talking about. Please leave here quickly."

Tanya spoke, "We can’t hold this place any longer. If this stalemate continues, it will definitely implicate these innocent villagers and women. Carney Shaw has always been ruthless, preferring to kill a thousand by mistake rather than let one go. He might destroy this entire village for Cain Shaw."

Leah’s face turned pale; they absolutely couldn’t let so many innocent lives be affected because of her brother.

Serena looked at Tanya, "Tanya, what do you think we should do now? Our rescue should arrive soon, so we must buy time for the rescue, but it’s difficult. Carney Shaw outside is watching closely, and we can’t let these innocent villagers get involved. What do you think we should do?"

Tanya looked at Carney Shaw outside, who had a ferocious expression and suddenly grabbed a villager by the collar and dragged him over, pressing a knife against the villager’s neck.

"You... what are you doing!"

"How can there be no law in broad daylight? You’re committing murder; it’s illegal!"

"Let go of my husband, let go of the child’s father!"

Other villagers were already trembling in fear. The aunties and children’s cries and sobs suddenly burst out, creating chaos on the scene.

Carney Shaw gave a signal to his men with his eyes, "Surround this village for me, don’t let any of the elderly, women, or children escape!"

"Yes!"

Carney Shaw arrogantly shouted, "Cain Shaw! Cain Shaw, where are you!"

"Cain Shaw, weren’t you so tough and powerful before? Why are you hiding like a turtle now!"

"Cain Shaw, I’ll count to three. You better come out yourself or I’ll bury these villagers with you, haha."

"Three..."

"Two..."

Outside, Carney Shaw was already counting.

Tanya turned her head and looked at Leah. "Before the car accident, you called Cain Shaw, didn’t you?"

Leah nodded, "Yes."

"Did you warn Cain Shaw about the change in situation and the impending danger during the call?"

Leah’s face turned pale, "No... I was just in a hurry to get him back at the time, didn’t expect to say those things..."

Serena spoke up, "Tanya, why are you asking these questions?"

Tanya’s bright black and white eyes fell on the still unconscious Cain Shaw. "If you warned him on the phone, then on his way back, he must have made arrangements. He and Carney Shaw are in a deadlock. Although Carney is currently in a superior position, if he has another plan and is waiting for a chance to make a comeback, not only can he use this to eliminate Carney Shaw, but also take down Mr. Shaw and seize power of the entire Shaw family, fulfilling all his desires and ambitions."

"But I didn’t warn him about these, and I don’t know if he made any arrangements..." Leah looked uncertainly at the unconscious Cain Shaw.

Now Leah deeply regretted not having informed her brother of the situation during the call, so he could plan accordingly.

Cain Shaw is now unconscious, and nobody knows what he was thinking before the incident.

"Tanya, we don’t have much time." At this moment, Serena reminded.

"Yes, we don’t have time, so... if it were you, what would you do now?" Tanya looked at Cain Shaw, seeming to mutter to herself, but also as if she was having a dialogue with him.

By this time, Carney Shaw outside was about to count "three." Tanya immediately turned around, opened the window behind her, and swiftly leaped out.

Watching Tanya’s figure disappear from sight, Leah flinched and wanted to go over to check the situation.

But the next second, Serena extended her hand, grabbing Leah’s slender arm.

Leah turned back, only to see Serena placing her finger on her lips, making a "shh" gesture for silence.

Leah immediately didn’t dare to speak, and at this moment, Carney Shaw’s subordinates shouted from outside, "Fourth Brother, we’ve caught someone. This person tried to escape, and we caught her. She’s that new sweetheart of Cain Shaw, Tanya Sullivan!"

Tanya was caught by Carney Shaw.

"Serena, what is Tanya doing? Walking right into the lion’s den, has she gone mad?" Leah paled in horror.

Everyone knew about Carney Shaw’s violent nature, and the last time at the hospital when he saw Tanya, he was particularly interested in her...

The key issue was that Carney Shaw had always been searching for the Hollis family’s daughter. Tanya had just walked into the trap herself; how could she get out unscathed?

Of course, Serena knew all about this, "Leah, Tanya is buying time for our rescue and for your brother’s waking up."

As she spoke, Serena took out the silver needle again, gradually inserting it into Cain Shaw’s acupuncture points, whispering, "Brother Leah, if it were you, would you do the same?"

Tanya had asked Cain Shaw before she left: if it were you, what would you do.

So, if it were Cain Shaw, would he do the same?

...

The subordinates escorted Tanya over, and Carney Shaw quickly released the villager he was holding hostage. "Tanya Sullivan, it’s you again?"

Carney Shaw’s impression of Tanya was particularly vivid. Now seeing Tanya’s small oval face, he immediately got excited, rubbing his fists together.
