A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 239

Chapter 239 

“Look out!” Emmanuel shouted. 

As Claudette was hesitating, he heard the bushes nearby rustling. 

At first, he thought it was their final opponent in the game approaching them. 

However, he soon realized that it sounded like more than two people were 

heading their way. Moreover, he heard footsteps coming from all directions, 

which meant they were likely hostile. 

The instincts he developed through his work had him promptly pinning 

Claudette down to the ground with one hand while he scanned the 

surroundings with hawkish eyes. 

Claudette was startled. 

Though, she was not afraid of danger at all with him by her side. In fact, her 

heart was racing faster with adrenaline. 

The next thing she knew, he had leaped into the bushes while carrying her in 

his arms. 

Despite the scratches on her fair skin, she did not feel any pain or voice any 

complaints. The new development made her find the experience even more 

exciting and wonderful. 

Bang!

Suddenly, a rock was shot at and bounced off the ground around the spot 

they were resting at moments ago. 

That finally snapped Claudette back to her senses. 

Even she could tell that the guns used by their opponents were not the guns 

they were using in the game. The shot was extremely powerful, leaving a tiny 

hole in the ground where it hit. 

“That’s a flat–nose bullet!” Emmanuel scowled. 

Judging from experience, this meant they were no longer playing a game. 

They were facing people who wished to cause them harm. 

Emmanuel had used flat–nose bullets before during shooting practice back 

at Northern Region. While they were not sharp enough to pierce the human 

body, being hit by them meant broken or fractured bones. 

With how thin Claudette was, she might even suffer from internal injuries. In 

the worst–case scenario, she would die! Who could it be? Why are they 

ambushing us here using those bullets? Emmanuel wondered.. 

Bang! Bang! Bang! 

A series of muffled gunshots echoed through the air.

Realizing what was happening, Emmanuel swiftly started rolling away on the 

ground with Claudette still in his arms. There was no time to think about 

anything else. 

The two of them rolled to the foot of the mountain, and Claudette was 

squashed under him once more. Her heart kept racing. While the experience 

was painful, this was all so exciting! 

She was not worried about her own safety in the slightest; she even wished 

the game would go on forever! 

In truth, she had known this was no longer a game, but it did not matter. 

“Hey, look where you’re shooting! Who will take responsibility if you hit Ms. 

Lenoir?” Isaac shouted as he swiftly charged over, reprimanding his 

subordinates. They are as dumb as rocks! 

“We didn’t hit anyone, Mr. Lane,” one of the men reported. 

“What?! You didn’t hit anyone?” Isaac’s rage twisted into an even more 

intense fury. They had used a lot of bullets in the last wave, yet none of them 

hit Emmanuel?! 

“Darn it! I’ll do it myself!” Isaac snatched a gun and dashed down the hill, 

intent on breaking Emmanuel’s legs. 

When he spotted Emmanuel’s form spread out over Claudette, he swiftly shot 

twice.
