Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 997: She Doesn’t Want You Anymore! She Doesn’t Want You Anymore!
Justin Xavier arrived at the master bedroom door and raised his hand to knock, "Leah! Leah, open the door!"
There was no sound inside.
No one responded to him.
Justin’s handsome face was as dark as water, and there were terrifying red streaks in his eyes. He wasn’t unfamiliar with such lowly tactics, but no one had ever dared to use them on him.
Now, he felt his body temperature rising uncontrollably, as if there were little bugs crawling through his bones and blood, making him extremely uncomfortable.
He had only one thought in mind; he wanted to see Leah Thorne!
His clearly defined fingers knocked sharply and rhythmically on the door panel. His voice was low and hoarse, "Leah, I know you’re in there. Open the door quickly, I want to see you, immediately, right now!"
Still, there was no sound inside.
Justin waited for a while, then put his large hand on the doorknob, intending to open the door directly.
He quickly discovered that the door was locked from the inside.
Justin was an astute man, and he had already sensed something. Leah never locked the door earlier or later, but chose this moment to do so, unless...
"Come over here!" At this time, a black-clad bodyguard brought Carol over and directly threw her onto the carpet.
Carol already realized something was wrong. She knelt on the carpet begging for mercy and reached out to grab the leg of Justin’s suit pants, "Sir, you... please forgive me, this was really the madam’s idea, it has nothing to do with me..."
Justin looked down with his gloomy and handsome eyelids at Carol, "Does the madam know about your drugging?"
Carol nodded vigorously, "Yes, madam knew when she was drinking water in the downstairs living room just now, but she didn’t tell you..."
Saying this, Carol glanced timidly at the tightly closed door in front of her. She also realized something, "Sir, is it because the madam isn’t opening the door for you? I get it, the madam did it on purpose."
"The madam watched coldly as you drank that bowl of drugged soup and even locked the door. Sir, the madam really doesn’t love you anymore; she has abandoned you... Ah!"
Before Carol finished speaking, she let out a miserable scream because Justin lifted his leg and kicked her in the chest.
Gasp.
Carol fell to the ground, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out.
Carol struggled twice, trying to move, but her body went limp and fell down. She looked at the man in front of her with fear in her eyes. Despite the years of gentlemanly and elegant disguise, the dark and sinister elements in his bones had not been washed away. He was terrifying. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
"Take her away. I don’t want to see her again!" Justin said coldly.
"Yes." The black-clad bodyguard quickly dragged Carol away.
With peace restored to his ears, Justin placed one hand on his waist, panting lightly. Soon, he curled his thin lips into a smile, letting out a mocking laugh. So she knew all along.
No wonder she was flirting with him on the stairs just now; she must have thought he was a ridiculous fool!
"Leah Thorne, open the door!" This time, Justin couldn’t be bothered to raise his hand to knock. He licked his dry thin lips with the tip of his tongue, his expression neither amused nor amused, "This lousy door can’t stop me. If you open the door voluntarily now, I won’t hold a grudge, and we can just move past today’s incident!"
Justin’s voice wasn’t loud, but it was enough to intimidate. All the maids in the villa came out, too scared to make a sound.
The master of this house had a terrible temper, and the consequences were severe when he truly got angry.
Still no sound inside.
Leah didn’t respond to him.
Justin raised his hand and touched his cropped hair. The enormous gloom and hostility filled his chest, and he was on the verge of losing control.
So calmly and composedly pushing her own husband into another woman’s bed, she truly was the exemplary Chinese wife.
Though she had said she agreed to him having kids with another woman and even suggested bringing Carol in to serve, he didn’t take it seriously. He just thought she was jealous and was speaking out of anger.
Now he knew, she was telling the truth.
"Leah Thorne, I’m giving you one last chance, open the door, or else, tonight is the end for you, understand?"
"I’m counting down for you, three seconds, three...two...one..."
Justin slowed the time at "one," but inside, there was no sound. He got no response.
Justin’s handsome face twitched grotesquely twice, then he lifted his leg and kicked the door panel.
A thunderous sound.
The loud noise was deafening, and the maids held their breath in fear.
My God.
The man standing outside the door, full of hostility, was more terrifying than a Satan from hell.
With that kick, the door didn’t budge, as it was of good quality.
Justin continued with a second kick, a third, a fourth...
Each kick carried a fierce force, landing directly on the door, as if he wouldn’t rest until it opened.
Soon there was a creak, and the door opened.
Even the door succumbed to the power of this man, Justin.
The door opened, and Justin walked in expressionlessly, "Leah Thorne!"
The maids were jittery, with the master’s violent temper, madam you’d better look out for yourself.
Indeed, Justin went in with the intention of giving Leah a harsh lesson. She was simply too reckless, relying merely on his adoration.
His strong chest heaved up and down, and his bloodshot eyes scanned the room before pausing, because Leah wasn’t there.
In his line of sight, there was no trace of Leah.
Justin froze, and all the hostility and anger in his chest vanished instantly. His heart sank, "Leah Thorne! Leah, where are you? Are you mute? If you hear me, make a sound!"
There was still no response from her.
Justin went and opened the bathroom and the closet... there was no one inside.
Leah was gone.
She had vanished from his sight.
It was terribly quiet around, so quiet it was terrifying. Justin searched around, but there wasn’t a soul.
Carol’s words echoed in his ears, "She really doesn’t love you anymore!"
"She abandoned you!"
"She left you!"
Justin felt the world spinning before his eyes, and that wave of panic and unease surged up like a tide, threatening to drown him.
"Someone!" He shouted loudly.
Several black-clad bodyguards swiftly entered, awaiting orders.
"Go find her, hurry and find her. Even if you have to turn the entire city upside down, bring her back!" Justin’s voice, grim and chilling, broke from his throat, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.
"Yes, boss." The black-clad bodyguards turned and left immediately.
"Wait a moment." Justin spoke again suddenly.
He noticed something was off, something was indeed wrong. Earlier, he had panicked, but he needed to calm down first.
He had watched Leah enter this room with his own eyes. She didn’t leave the room, which meant... she was still in this room.
"All of you, get out." Justin changed his mind.
The black-clad bodyguards obediently exited immediately, closing the door behind them.
Justin’s eyes, dark and sharp, scanned the room, searching for places where someone could hide. He tried to control his emotions, his hoarse voice carrying a hint of coaxing affection, "Leah, where are you?"
