Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler novel Chapter 546

Chapter 546

The kidnapper held his head and begged, "Please spare me! I really don't know who it was. Our boss was the one who accepted the mission, and we’re only working for him to carry out the kidnapping!"

Catelyn did not believe a word he said, however. Even if he did not know who hired them, he must have known something else.

She gritted her teeth and paced around when she accidentally came across a sharp dagger in the hand of the kidnapper who lost consciousness. She stumbled toward it and walked back to the other kidnapper, waving the dagger all the while.

"You won't spill? Fine. Since you both wanted to kill me, I might as well play along, right?" She chuckled. The sunlight shone on the blade and reflected onto her face in a horrifying manner.

Frightened, the kidnapper failed to conjure his words.

"I heard that there's a surgery where they can sew your bits back even when it's been cut off. Do you want to try it?" Catelyn batted her eyes innocently.

Cedrick paled.

There were plenty of ways to threaten a man, and she chose the most horrible one!

The kidnapper stared as the blade inched closer to him and felt the excruciating pain even before the blade cut into his skin. He shivered and looked at Catelyn pleadingly. "Don't! I—I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything I know... The person who hired my boss to kidnap you was—ack!"

Before he could finish, a bullet pierced through the air and shot the kidnapper in the head. He lifelessly fell to the ground, his eyes wide open and peculiarly swirling with remnants of regret.

"Watch out!"

Cedrick's expression darkened and darted over to shield Catelyn with his body.

The two fell to the ground and rolled off to take shelter behind the stone wall; through the wall, she could still hear the sound of bullets hitting off the ground.

A faint scent of blood filled the air and Catelyn simply thought that it was from the kidnapper who was shot dead. She grabbed onto Cedrick's hand nervously in fear.

"This has to be the other kidnapper who left earlier. Where's Mister Peterson? Why are you here alone?"

Cedrick kept one arm around Catelyn and pressed her toward him as close as possible to avoid exposing their location to the kidnapper. His lips were pressed against the back of her ear, and his stubble pricked against her skin.

"The area is too large, so I told everyone to spread out."

"Are you an idiot, CedrickMason?" Catelyn felt herself tingling in rage. Had they not been in this situation, she would have shoved him away.

"You knew that these people were willing to risk their lives, and you came alone? Even if you want them to spread out, you should've at least brought Alex! Good job. We don't even have any tools or weapons now..."

Cedrick observed the frustrated expression on her face. His heart flattered as he lowered his head to rub his cheek against hers. " Worried about me?"

"I'm just worried that I won't get out of here alive!"
