Chapter 298 Are You Really Going to Shoot?
In a dilapidated building, Miranda, Nora, and Claudia were brought into a bare room. Their mouths were stuffed with cloth which was finally taken out.
“Haha, scream! You can scream as much as you want now!” The lead man looked at the three women and sneered.
“Who are you? What do you want?”
“Come at me if you have an issue, just let my daughter go!” Claudia shouted at the thugs as soon as she could speak, displaying a self-sacrificing demeanor.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Mommy…” Nora looked at Claudia, her big eyes filled with gratitude.
“Let your daughter go for you? We’re here today for your daughter and Miranda. What do you think you are?” The leading thug sneered.
Upon hearing this, Miranda’s eyes flashed, and she coldly asked, “What is your purpose?”
The thug looked at Miranda mockingly and asked, “At this point, you’re still so calm. I really admire it! Do you still think you have someone to rely on, expecting someone to come and save you? Hahaha…”
Miranda’s expression changed at his words, “What do you mean?”
At that moment, a burst of laughter echoed. A robust figure, wearing a stylish trench coat, confidently walked out. It was none other than Wild Wolf, the mid-level Transmutation Force expert that Kayden had hired for over 20 million! Additionally, Kayden entered the bare house with a few of his bodyguards.
Miranda saw Kayden and her face turned cold with anger, “Kayden? It’s you again?”
She didn’t expect that it would be Isa’s people causing trouble again!
It must have been because news of Lachlan being seriously injured before disappearing had reached Isa’s ears recently, so they became bold again. They just couldn’t let go!
Miranda gritted her teeth and thought to herself while staring coldly at Kayden, “Where are Mason’s people?”
The appearance of Kayden made him look confident; he probably took care of Mason’s underlings…
Sure enough, Wild Wolf laughed arrogantly, “Just some Dark Force and Bright Force trash who have already been taken care of by me!”
Kayden glanced disapprovingly at Wild Wolf; he hired him but seemed to lack any sense of loyalty or respect towards his employer… Damn it… Why was he more arrogant than himself?
With an icy gaze directed towards Nora, Kayden said disdainfully, “Lachlan is such a coward; he abandoned his own daughter just to save himself!”
In Nora’s big eyes, there was a hint of anger as she glared at him with a fierce expression. “You’re a bad person! Daddy would never abandon me! He just has other things going on!”
“Don’t you dare talk about my daddy!” Upon hearing this, Kayden and his men burst into mocking laughter.
The next second, Kayden spoke with venom in his voice. “You little brat, when you go to the underworld, tell Yama to give you a better life in your next reincarnation!” With that, he snorted and waved his hand.
Suddenly one of his bodyguards pulled out a gun and aimed it directly at Nora’s small body. Her eyes widened in fear and her face showed an instinctive expression of terror that made people feel sorry for her.
“What are you doing? Don’t hurt my daughter!” Claudia exclaimed excitedly upon seeing this scene. She thought this was her chance to show off.
She quickly moved her body forward to stand in front of Nora while Miranda’s face changed color. Without hesitation, she broke free from the ropes binding her hands and feet before charging towards the armed guard.
Mason’s men had already been taken care of so she knew she had no hope left but herself!
After undergoing basic training during this period of time, Miranda’s physical fitness had exceeded that of an ordinary person, equivalent to that of someone who practiced martial arts regularly.
It was clear that Kayden and those around him did not expect the seemingly delicate goddess CEO to have any real strength at all since they used ordinary hemp rope as restraints on them both. For Miranda though breaking free from such rope was easy-peasy!
BAM! BOOM!
Miranda forcefully knocked down the armed bodyguard, and almost simultaneously, a gunshot rang out! Due to the loss of balance, the bullet hit the roof of the bare house, causing a shower of cement debris and dust.
At this moment, Nora looked at Claudia, who shielded her, and then at Miranda, who fearlessly charged towards the villains. Her big eyes were filled with gratitude.
“Mommy… Miranda…”
However, Claudia let out a scream which startled everyone present including Nora whose heart skipped several beats upon hearing it.
Claudia rolled away from where they were standing without thinking twice leaving behind only fear etched across features once considered beautiful. “Kayden, you… what are you doing? Why did… why did he really fire?”
Claudia broke out in a cold sweat and was filled with fear. She thought it was all just an act, but Kayden’s men actually fired their guns, and she could clearly see the bullets flying towards her! If Miranda hadn’t pushed that person away just now, she would have been shot!
Kayden snorted coldly. “What else did you expect?”
Claudia’s lips trembled as she asked in a frightened voice, “What are you doing? I thought we were just acting! Your men almost killed me earlier. Do you even realize that?”
Nora and Miranda were both stunned when they heard this.
Miranda glared at Claudia with shock and anger. “You’re colluding with Kayden?”
She had felt that Claudia’s sudden appearance today and insistence on bringing Nora to dinner were suspicious!
Sure enough…
There must be something behind unexpected events.
Meanwhile, Nora looked at her mother with big eyes, frozen in surprise and sadness.
Her initial feelings of gratitude and attachment had turned into shock and disappointment.
“Mommy… what are you talking about? What kind of acting?” The little girl only thought her mother and Miranda were captured by bad people.
But now it seemed like her mother was actually working together with them?
“What acting? There is no such thing!” Kayden sneered coldly as he looked at Nora menacingly. “I’m going to kill this brat today! Claudia, your task is complete; you can leave now!”
With that said, Kayden signaled to one of his henchmen beside him. “Untie her.”
Initially he hesitated whether or not to silence Claudia like he did to Theo before.
However, ultimately Kayden decided to keep Claudia around since she wasn’t too shabby looking herself, exuding a seductive aura of a mature woman, which made him itch for some action.
