Let's Get Married

Chapter 604: Be Conquered by This Woman

When Eunice wakes up again, all she could see is black. Memories flash through her mind and her body tenses up. She tries to move her legs and feet and is not surprised to find herself bound by the rope.

Her eyes accustom to the darkness bit by bit. She gradually realizes that this is a small room with no windows. It is about ten square meters and is extremely narrow. Perhaps it was because of the lack of furniture, the room is not very suffocating.

It is quiet. Her mouth is sealed by tape. She has only seen such a scene in TV dramas, but now it does happen to her.

She has never expected this day to come in her lifetime.

Where's Adair?

Is the boy safe?

Almost at the same moment that the thought flashes through her mind, the door in front of her is opened from the outside. The bright lights in the corridor shine into the room. It is so dazzling that tears almost run out of her eyes.

She closes her eyes tightly and waits until she is accustomed to it before opening them again.

The one leading the way is a man who is about 1.72 meters tall. Since Eunice is lying on the ground, she has to lift her head with great difficulty to see his face.

At first glance, she notices the long scar across his forehead and left cheek. The wound doesn't seem to be old. It looks a little red and swollen, which makes his frightening face even more hideous.

His skin is very awful, dark and pitted. His face is so big that it is even bigger than a plate. With a buzz cut and unsightly eyes, his is revolting and dangerous.

The man reminds Eunice of the photos of murderers she has seen online. They are all gloomy and frightening.

"So you're awake." The man squats down and grabs her chin with his hand. He puts so much force in it that he seems to be able to crush her bones. "I remember you, the woman who took a shot for Ryan."

Eunice's eyes widen as she puts the two things together.

So they are the people who tried to assassinate Ryan last time?

She trembles slightly at the thought of the bullet piercing through her flesh. After all, she is just twenty- two years old. In front of such an extremely vicious group of people, she is understandably afraid.

The man winks at one of his subordinates behind and the latter immediately goes forward and tears the tape off her mouth.

With a sharp sound, her lips and cheeks are painful.

"Who are you?" Eunice looks at them with cowardice and vigilance in her eyes.

"No wonder Ryan likes you. I have to say, you are calm enough!" The man's rough laughter echoes in the room as he looks at her significantly. "It's a pity that you're at my mercy now..."

"Who tells you that I'm his woman?" After Eunice figures out their intention, she defends herself, "I have nothing to do with him at all."

The sinister smile on the man's face stiffens for a moment at her words. But soon, he shakes his head, "You are trying to lie to me? You claimed that you were his woman at the teahouse..."

"You believe that?" Without waiting for him to continue, Eunice holds her panic down and fixes her gaze at the man's small, narrow eyes. "The only reason I said that was because I'm the boy's Godmother. I didn't want you to take him away, that's all."

Eunice watches as the smile on the scarred man's fat face diminishes and disappears eventually. He is still shaking his head but is less confident than before. "Do you think I would buy it?"

"You won't, but—" She pauses deliberately, surprised at her acting skills. "Ryan never fell in love with any woman, did he?"

She doesn't say it in a positive tone. Instead, she retorts in an "amusing" way. And what she says depresses everyone in the room.

Because they know Ryan is a heartless man. They have never seen him fall in love with anyone before but Miss Lily six years before. But they don't dare to lay a finger on Lily, for she is Rex's wife. They don't want to offend another powerful man because of personal grudges.

As for kidnapping Adair, it was just a desperate move. They are surprised to be able to get Eunice here. They have investigated her and know that she has been with Ryan for a while. They have spies following her in Q City and are sure Eunice is close with Ryan.

However, what she says sways them.

The scarred man spits and stands up to summon another two men behind him. "You don't admit it, do you? Beat her!"

With that, the men's fists and feet connect Eunice's body. They hit her chest, back, shoulders, waist, and so on. Every part of her body is abused without mercy.

Eunice has never known that it would be such an agony to be beaten by men with all their strength. The fists are raised high and dropped heavily, like a hammer smashing her face hard.

As a girl who grows up in a healthy and safe environment, she couldn't withstand such a violent beating at all. In less than ten minutes, Eunice is on the verge of fainting from the pain.

Only then does the scarred man ask the two beaters to stop. He looks down at her and says, "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. I have plenty of ways to prove it. Not long after, Ryan will contact us first. At that time, it would be useless no matter how you deny it!" NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

With that, the scarred man turns around and leaves the small room.

The sound of footsteps comes to her ear. It dwindles and dies away eventually. The door is once again closed, isolating all light and sound.

Everything returns to deathly silence, but Eunice is unable to calm down.

It's him who she is thinking of at such a time of danger.

'Would he be anxious to know that I'm missing? What should he do? Did he try to find me? Or did he call the police?'

Eunice thinks of his resolute gaze in Q City. She used to be angry and aggrieved at his coldness, but now, she hopes that he would be more heartless so that he wouldn't be threatened by these people and do what they want.

...

The police have tried all they can to find Eunice. But the kidnappers are obviously experienced. Several same cars appeared at the blind spots of security cameras many times, so the police would have to

search every single route.

It is just an ordinary meeting. No one expects such a thing to happen. Even Rex is caught off guard by that.

Time passes bit by bit. The waiting is undoubtedly tedious. Ryan locks himself in the reception room of the police station. It is seven o'clock in the evening, but there is still no news.

He stands up from his chair and stretches his almost numb body. Just as he pushes open the door, he bumps into Lily, who is about to knock on the door.

Ryan pauses. The thick smoke floats from the room behind him. Noticing the child, he closes the door.

"I'll bring Adair back first. Rex is here to help the police deal with it. I'll come here tomorrow morning." Lily says in a low voice, afraid that she would disturb the man in front of her, who is trying his best to suppress his emotions.

"Alright," Ryan replies. For the first time, he is thinking of another person when facing Lily.

He sidesteps the two and is about to leave, but the boy stops him suddenly, "Ryan! When Eunice was taken away by the bad guys, she asks me to tell you something."

Ryan freezes and turns to look at the little boy. Realizing something, he asks with a hoarse voice, "...What?"

"She says that she likes you very much. It's worth doing so for the one you care about."

With a boom, there is no explosion. Nothing is damaged. But his heart is melt.

The tall man stumbles and her beautiful face flashes through his eyes. Then, he instantly sinks into short darkness.

He curls his mouth, and his lip cracks because of the dryness.

'No, Ryan.'

'You are bound to be conquered by this woman.'
