The Shotgun Marriage: She's the Apple of His Eye Chapter 74
Tobias' attitude was so resolute that it left no room for negotiation. This surprised Brett. The Ripley and Eberhard families each owned 50% of Clusia's business world. If they were to form an alliance through a marriage alliance, it would be a powerful collaboration.Anyone else would have given up on even their true love for said alliance. Yet, Tobias was unmoved. It seemed he cared more about his family than his benefits. He was unexpectedly dignified, and it improved Brett's impression of him just a little.Joey said anxiously, "What nonsense are you spouting, Tobias?"Tobias ignored her and said icily, "My relationship with your sister is a thing of the past, Mr. Eberhard. I'm married now, and my wife is pregnant. I don't want to do anything to betray her and our babies, so I hope you won't force me into this."The fact that he wasn't tempted by the potential profits made Brett admire him somewhat. Brett said, "Well, that's too bad. It looks like we'll have to call off t

"Anna!" Brett cried. He ran after her and stopped her from ramming against the wall.Anna broke down and burst into tears. "Let me go, Brett. I've already been sullied. Just let me die!"Joey tried to calm her. "Calm down, Anna. Don't worry, okay? I promise that I'll make Tobias come back to you."She turned to Tobias. "Why are you still standing there? Are you really going to watch her take her life?"Tobias' expression was stormy, and the veins on his forehead protruded. His eyes were frosty. When he looked at Anna, his gaze was sharp. "You know I hate it when people lie to me and try to manipulate me, Anna. Are you sure you want to do this?"Even if he had been delirious from his fever, he knew he hadn't touched a hair on her head!Anna was frightened by the look in his eyes, but it was too late for her to turn back. She put on a heartbroken look and said, "Don't you believe me, Tobias? Will it take my death for you to believe I'm telling the truth? Fine, then. I'll do jus

Tobias drove back to the hospital and headed to Lucy's hospital room. "As soon as he entered the room, he said, "I'm back, babe. You said you wanted dessert, right? I bought you something. Come and have a taste."But Lucy was nowhere in sight."Babe?" Tobias looked around. Thinking she was in the bathroom, he knocked on the door. There was no response."Where is she? I told her not to run around! Her phone's here, so I guess she hasn't gone far…" he muttered.He waited for over ten minutes, but she didn't return. For some reason, he couldn't stop feeling anxious and worried. He was restless and couldn't bring himself to sit down.When he couldn't wait any longer, he went to the nurse's counter and asked, "Have you seen my wife?"One of the nurses said, "A doctor took Mrs. Ripley to get a test done.""A test?" Tobias frowned. He headed to the doctor's office to check on things, but the doctor merely gave him a confused look. He claimed he hadn't asked anyone to take Lucy for an

Meanwhile, at Ripley Residence, Joey paced restlessly. When her phone rang, she answered it anxiously. "How did it go? Have you dealt with Lucy?""I was one step too late, Mrs. Ripley. She'd already been abducted when I got there!""Abducted?" Joey's eyes lit up. "So, someone else wants to take her out! This is even better than I expected. Tobias won't suspect I have anything to do with this!"She had hired someone to get rid of Lucy, but it looked like someone else had beaten her to it. She ordered, "Find a way to contact the abductor. Pay him more money and tell him to kill her!"Joey couldn't help being pleased with her intelligence.…Brett and Rhett were at the hospital to care for Anna. When she woke up, she started crying. "Why did you save me? You should've just let me die…""What's so great about the Ripley dude, Anna? Don't be so hung up on him. There's plenty of fish in the sea!""No, I won't marry anyone but him! If you guys aren't willing to help me, just let me di

Lucy was left alone in the room after Fred went to see Chad. She was scared but put up a calm front. When she didn't see any surveillance cameras after gazing around the room, she pulled out the key she had taken from Chad earlier and held it in her hand.Her gaze landed on some candles, and her gaze flickered as she thought of something. Ignoring the pain in her belly, she approached the candles and lit them. Then, she dripped the wax onto a piece of glass.Throughout this process, she kept glancing nervously at the door, afraid that someone would suddenly burst in. When she was almost done, she heard footsteps ring out.It scared her, and she quickly tucked the glass with the wax under her shirt. The wax was still hot, so it burned her when it came into contact with her skin. She hissed in pain.At that moment, the door swung open. Lucy hadn't had time to clean up the table and was so nervous that she could barely breathe. It took all her willpower to pretend to be unaffected

After Lucy went missing, Tobias immediately contacted his friend, Miles Chadwick, for help. Miles was a young and renowned police inspector. He was handsome and capable.Tobias asked urgently, "Haven't you found anything yet, Miles?"With every minute that passed, his heart felt like it was being torn to shreds.Miles said, "The situation's different this time, Tobias. Lucy didn't have any electronics on her when she got abducted, so we can't track her down just yet."Tobias slammed a hand on the table. "Damn it! I don't care what you guys do; you have to find her as soon as possible!"He had used so much force that the table splintered. His knuckles started bleeding. Miles stopped him and said, "Calm down. We have other ways of finding her!""Like what?" Tobias grabbed his shoulder in agitation."As long as she's appeared on any of the surveillance cameras on the streets, the system can identify her within three seconds. Then, we can track her down and save her."Tobias' gaze

Meanwhile, Martin and Rosa were worried about Lucy when they couldn't reach her. They sought Sienna and Faith out to ask them about her. The two women were shocked when they found out that Lucy was unreachable."Wait, you can't reach Lucy? Don't panic. I'll call her." Sienna dialed Lucy's number."We've already tried countless times. We can't get through to her!"Sure enough, Sienna found that Lucy's phone had been powered off.Faith said, "Maybe she's at Ripley Residence. Why don't we try asking Tobias?""I don't have his number," Sienna said."Shaun's an entrepreneur, isn't he? Call him and ask him. He should have Tobias' number."Sienna parted her lips. She didn't want to call Shaun."Oh, come on. Stop dilly-dallying! What if Lucy's in danger?" Faith snapped.That made Sienna spring to action. Lucy's safety meant more to her than her pride. She immediately called Shaun. It rang a couple of times before a woman answered it. "Hello?"Sienna's heart felt like it had been stab

The news shocked the world!…That night, Chad carried Lucy to the dining table and helped her settle in her seat. "The doctor said you can't move around on your own for now, so I'll carry you wherever you want to go from now on, okay?"She suppressed her repulsion and feigned obedience as she said, "Okay."He laughed tenderly at the sight of that. "Eat. I asked the kitchen to prepare a meal that's catered to a pregnant woman's nutrition.""Thanks." She lowered her head and started eating, but it was like she was chewing cardboard.After dinner, Chad carried her to the living room and placed her on the couch.
