Starting with A Divorce novel (Ainsley and Cason) novel Chapter 540

Chapter 540 A Substitute

Aaden looked at Irene with satisfaction. He turned off the phone and looked at Matteo. "Mr. Easton, please move aside."

"What if I say no?"

"You won't say no," Aaden said coldly.

Matteo stared straight into Aaden's eyes. "Why don't we take a gamble and see if Daniel will let you go after you hurt Ainsley?"

"It seems that you admit that Mr. Hume cares about Ms. Easton?" Aaden sneered.

"Yes, but what's the use?" Matteo said expressionlessly.

"Mr. Easton, I think you misunderstood me. My duty is to send Ms. Easton back to the seaside villa. In other words, it doesn't matter if she is injured or not. Even if she is injured during the rescue, it's inevitable." Aaden stopped smiling.

Matteo looked serious. Aaden was right. Matteo and Ainsley were at a disadvantage.

While Matteo and Aaden talked, Irene had already walked behind Aaden with Ainsley. "Aaden, I brought her here."

There was only sadness and regret in Irene's heart. As the daughter of the Wade family, she was humble to a subordinate. Irene thought, what a pity! I was just one step away from killing Ainsley. Unfortunately, there was an accident.

In order to let Matteo see his determination, Aaden took the knife from Irene's hand and placed it on Ainsley's neck in the same way. Aaden looked at Matteo coldly. ’Move aside, Mr. Easton."

Matteo clenched his fists, but there was nothing he could do. Aaden was not Irene.

Matteo had heard Manuel mention what Aaden had done. Perhaps after that couple shattered Aaden's trust in them, Aaden became an extremely ruthless person.

The bodyguards around Matteo didn't know whether to stop them or avoid them, so they all looked at Matteo.

Matteo gritted his teeth and said, Retreat."

The bodyguards dispersed and made way for Aaden.

Irene followed Aaden and walked out nervously. She was afraid that Matteo would not let her go.

Matteo watched helplessly as Ainsley left. He did not know what to do. His phone rang. It was Manuel calling.

"Where is Ainsley?

"She was taken away by Aaden?"

Manuel suppressed the anger in his heart and asked in disbelief, "You let her be taken away just like that?"

Matteo restrained his emotions. "There's no other way. Even if you had been here, you would have done the same. He placed the knife on Ainsley's neck. Do you dare to risk her life?"

Manuel didn't say anything else. Of course, he didn't dare to risk Ainsley's life, but he couldn’t accept the fact. After making so much effort, the Ainsley he saw in the city was fake, and the real Ainsley was sent back to Daniel.

The phone was hung up by Matteo. Manuel could only urge the driver to accelerate, hoping to see Ainsley again.

In Seattle, Aaden put the knife against Ainsley's neck and took her into a car. He said coldly to Irene, "Drive the car."

Irene frowned slightly, but she quickly got into the driver's seat.

Aaden dragged Ainsley into the back seat. Matteo looked at the car with a hostile expression. As soon as he got into his car, Matteo heard Aaden's voice.

"Mr. Easton, we are very familiar with the way back to the villa. We don't need you to send us back." Although Aaden had a smile on his face, his eyes were full of disdain.
