Semua Bab Our Billion-Worth Twins: Bab 541 - Bab 550

"Wakey, wakey." Scarface crouched to stare at Catelyn as though he was looking at a dead person.Catelyn's shoulders trembled in fear as she stuttered, "Who... Who are you people? I'm just an ordinary office lady! You've got the wrong person if you want money!"Scarface sneered and grabbed a fistful of her hair before shoving a phone to her face. "Quit playing around! Call Cedrick Mason now and tell him that if he wants you safe and sound, he's going to donate all his assets to charity in public."Catelyn's scalp burned as though it was being ripped off of her head. However, she smiled bitterly through the pain and said, "So this is all because of Cedrick Mason? He won't possibly donate all his money for my sake. You've really gotten the wrong person...""Go," Scarface commanded another obscene-looking man.The man grinned, showing his yellow teeth, and rubbed his hands while his eyes glittered with lust. "Alright. I was just concerned that you wouldn't approve, Brother..."In th

"I'm not that stupid." Cedrick's lips curled into a cold sneer. "This whole thing is plotted against me, not her. They want to use her to make me give up on everything I have, do they? Let's see if they have what it takes."Charles was shocked at first, but he soon realized what he meant. "You're trying to buy more time?""Record a short video of me, and if the kidnapper calls again, just tell him that I'm summing up my assets. The rest will follow me into the forest.""Master Cedrick, let me do that!" volunteered Alex.He had been given the cold shoulder for the past few days, and he had to help, seeing as Catelyn was caught in a dangerous predicament.Cedrick glanced emotionlessly at him. "If I need you to rescue my woman, what kind of a man would I be?""But it's dangerous, and we don't know who the kidnappers are!" Alex's face flushed with frustration as he tried to convince Cedrick. "Please let me make up for the mistake I made. I'll bring Miss Clark back!""Don't worry. It

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

"You were shot?!"Catelyn's stomach churned at the overwhelming scent of blood and struggled to get off of his back, all the while thinking to herself, 'How can he piggyback me like this?!'Cedrick reached behind his back and secured her lower body with his arms. Instead of letting her off, he pinched her warningly. "Your knee is injured, so you can't run fast. Letting you down will slow me down! Just stay put and don't move...""You..." The spot where he pinched her itched as though she was burned. Embarrassed, she flushed and shouted, "Your wound will worsen if you keep this up!"Cedrick held his breath and darted into the woods.She heard nothing but the sound of wind blowing past them. Seeing that he refused to respond and that the kidnapper was not following them, she decided to not protest any further at the moment.Once they had gotten far enough to a safer location, she immediately told him to stop so that she could treat his wound."What kind of wedding do you like?" he

"Don't move," warned Cedrick in a hoarse voice.Catelyn listened to his heartbeat and felt the sudden urge to cry as she recalled all the sweet moments they shared in the past.Cedrick held onto her tight and refused to let go, and she picked up how his breaths grew deeper.The temporary truce between them only existed because they were on the run, and they had no energy to consider the past. Once they were safe again, the burden of the past would haunt them once more.Her eyes reddened as a lone teardrop fell. She frantically tried to dry her eyes by blinking rapidly and forcing a teasing tone, saying, "You sure seem relaxed considering the fact that we're being chased. I feel like those people are aiming at you."Cedrick did not respond.The assassins were, indeed, sent after him, and Catelyn was merely bait to lure him here so they could kill him. Cedrick noticed that the people who kidnapped Catelyn and the assassins that came after them were at completely different levels.
