Let's Get Married novel Chapter 604

When Eunice wakes up again, all she could see is black. Memories flash through her mind and her body tenses up. She tries to move her legs and feet and is not surprised to find herself bound by the rope.

Her eyes accustom to the darkness bit by bit. She gradually realizes that this is a small room with no windows. It is about ten square meters and is extremely narrow. Perhaps it was because of the lack of furniture, the room is not very suffocating.

It is quiet. Her mouth is sealed by tape. She has only seen such a scene in TV dramas, but now it does happen to her.

She has never expected this day to come in her lifetime.

Where's Adair?

Is the boy safe?

Almost at the same moment that the thought flashes through her mind, the door in front of her is opened from the outside. The bright lights in the corridor shine into the room. It is so dazzling that tears almost run out of her eyes.

She closes her eyes tightly and waits until she is accustomed to it before opening them again.

The one leading the way is a man who is about 1.72 meters tall. Since Eunice is lying on the ground, she has to lift her head with great difficulty to see his face.

At first glance, she notices the long scar across his forehead and left cheek. The wound doesn't seem to be old. It looks a little red and swollen, which makes his frightening face even more hideous.

His skin is very awful, dark and pitted. His face is so big that it is even bigger than a plate. With a buzz cut and unsightly eyes, his is revolting and dangerous.

The man reminds Eunice of the photos of murderers she has seen online. They are all gloomy and frightening.

"So you're awake." The man squats down and grabs her chin with his hand. He puts so much force in it that he seems to be able to crush her bones. "I remember you, the woman who took a shot for Ryan."

Eunice's eyes widen as she puts the two things together.

So they are the people who tried to assassinate Ryan last time?

She trembles slightly at the thought of the bullet piercing through her flesh. After all, she is just twenty-two years old. In front of such an extremely vicious group of people, she is understandably afraid.

The man winks at one of his subordinates behind and the latter immediately goes forward and tears the tape off her mouth.

With a sharp sound, her lips and cheeks are painful.

"Who are you?" Eunice looks at them with cowardice and vigilance in her eyes.

"No wonder Ryan likes you. I have to say, you are calm enough!" The man's rough laughter echoes in the room as he looks at her significantly. "It's a pity that you're at my mercy now..."

"Who tells you that I'm his woman?" After Eunice figures out their intention, she defends herself, "I have nothing to do with him at all."

The sinister smile on the man's face stiffens for a moment at her words. But soon, he shakes his head, "You are trying to lie to me? You claimed that you were his woman at the teahouse..."

"You believe that?" Without waiting for him to continue, Eunice holds her panic down and fixes her gaze at the man's small, narrow eyes. "The only reason I said that was because I'm the boy's Godmother. I didn't want you to take him away, that's all."

Eunice watches as the smile on the scarred man's fat face diminishes and disappears eventually. He is still shaking his head but is less confident than before. "Do you think I would buy it?"

"You won't, but—" She pauses deliberately, surprised at her acting skills. "Ryan never fell in love with any woman, did he?"

She doesn't say it in a positive tone. Instead, she retorts in an "amusing" way. And what she says depresses everyone in the room.

Because they know Ryan is a heartless man. They have never seen him fall in love with anyone before but Miss Lily six years before. But they don't dare to lay a finger on Lily, for she is Rex's wife. They don't want to offend another powerful man because of personal grudges.

As for kidnapping Adair, it was just a desperate move. They are surprised to be able to get Eunice here. They have investigated her and know that she has been with Ryan for a while. They have spies following her in Q City and are sure Eunice is close with Ryan.
