Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 5386

Manny murmured a few instructions to the butler, and the latter excused himself.

He then gave Laurence a call.

Once the call connected, Manny said, “Laurence, the two Mrs. Johnsons are guests at the Longbottoms’. If you wish to take them home, you should show up. If not, I can’t guarantee they will remain unharmed.”

No doubt Jane and Lilian were held hostage.

Manny ended the call before Laurence had a chance to say anything.

Jane and Lilian exchanged looks.

With her eyes, Jane asked Lilian whether they should fight their way out of there or stay.

Lilian was into the idea of staying.

“Mr. Longbottom, what’s the meaning of this?”

Jane looked enraged.

“Are you holding us hostage?”

Tony chuckled. “Let’s not use such a crude term. We are extending our utmost hospitality to you. You are our guests of honor.”

Lilian said, “Since we are the honored guests, why haven’t we been offered a meal? We’ve had nothing but light snacks while shopping.”

“At this hour? You expect a meal?” Tony blurted.

“Of course. We’re starving, so we want to eat. As the hosts, it’ll be rude if you don’t join your guests to eat. You need to sit with us at the dinner table.”

Lilian turned around and looked at the Longbottoms, her right hand slipping into the pants pocket to fish something out.

The men in black stared at her warily.

Lilian slowly unwrapped the tiny packet. The men in black saw the trace of white powder inside, assuming it was her medicine. To their surprise, Lilian spun around and flung the powder at them.

They kept their eye on Lilian the whole time and believed the powder was no threat. Lilian took her time anyway. However, she caught them off guard.

The men in black did not even have a chance to get away as the powder got onto their faces and necks.

The first thing that came to mind was to wipe away the powder on their skin.

However, they quickly felt itchy and started to scratch.
