The Life of A Billionaire’s Wife novel Chapter 60

Chapter 60 Escape and Pursue

“No, I don’t need it.” Veronica thought that Yvonne’s pendant was pretty, but she still rejected her offer as she didn’t know about its value.

Plus, Xavier had gifted her a necklace prior to this, so she didn’t need Yvonne’s.

“We have known each other for at least ten days. Do you dislike me that much?” Standing before Veronica, Yvonne raised a brow as she questioned if Veronica disliked her.

“I…” Veronica was rendered speechless, but she wasn’t bothered to answer her question as well.

However, Yvonne chuckled at her silence. “Your reaction tells me that you don’t hate me. Come here, let me put this on you.”

“I’ll do it myself.” Unable to resist her kindness, Veronica had no choice but to accept it. As a person who disliked owing favors, Veronica then removed the necklace from her own neck and handed it to Yvonne. “Here. A gift in return.”

“Alright, thank you.” Yvonne accepted the necklace. And so, the duo exchanged necklaces.

Thereafter, Yvonne sat down next to Veronica and looked at her as she whispered, “Now that we have exchanged presents, can you tell me what’s your escape plan?”

She deliberately got close to her so that Veronica would take her along when she escaped.

“There is no plan.” Veronica was still cold toward Yvonne, and the former even lay on the bed lazily.

Yvonne, who seemed to have been used to his cold attitude, merely returned to her own bed and lay down.

Not long after that, a soft sound of the door being unlocked was heard from outside, and a mercenary entered their room.

When they had first met the mercenaries, all of them were dressed in camouflage uniforms, but they had changed into casual wear before boarding the ship to prevent attracting unnecessary attention.

Presently, the mercenary brought their dinner in and placed it on the table.

At that moment, Veronica sat up from her bed. Just as she was about to make a move, she saw Yvonne suddenly rolling on the bed and shouting in pain. “Ah! it hurts! It really hurts!”

Her acting skills were beyond perfection, showing no signs that it was merely an act. Veronica couldn’t help but twitch her lips and thought, I reckon that this woman is actually an actress.

“What’s wrong?” The mercenary walked up to Yvonne to check her out, but he suddenly felt someone poking him at his back.

When he looked back, he was greeted by a punch on his face. “Ah—damn it!”

The man took a step back in pain and knocked his head on Yvonne’s steel bed frame. It was so painful that he held his head and cussed, but the next second, he lifted his leg and threw a kick at Veronica’s chest.

The lady agilely tilted her body before catching his ankle with bare hands. Then, she went along with the direction of the force and took the opportunity to land a kick on the man’s groin.

The kick was thrown with full force as she aimed to at least paralyze him with the attack.

“Ah!” The man cried out in agony. He was in so much pain that his face turned red. With one hand covering his nether region, he lifted his loose-fitting casual shirt with the other and drew a pistol from his back before aiming it at Veronica’s head.

However, at that instant, Veronica revealed a profound smile. She avoided the muzzle and raised her hand to capture his wrist. With a pull and a twist, a creak sounded and the man yelped in pain. And so, the pistol in his hand fell from his hand.

Veronica caught the falling pistol and held it in her hand. Without even giving a glance at the man who had fallen on his knees in agony, she turned to her side and aimed the pistol in the direction of the door.

The next second, the door burst open from outside and another man barged in.

Bang! Bang! Veronica, who had the upper hand in terms of timing, fired two shots at both the man’s arms with her superb marksmanship. Her shots landed at where she had targeted without even missing by an inch.

The man, who had been shot, instantly lost his strength in both arms and the gun in his hand fell. Upon seeing that, she quickly fired two more shots at his thigh.
