Mr. Wright and Mrs. Right

Chapter 151

After she finished speaking, she swiftly pushed open the wooden door, revealing several bodyguards holding sharp machetes. They rushed in and blocked the entrance while exuding murderous intent.

Upon seeing that, Natasha quickly got up and went past Maverick to hide behind the group of bodyguards. In an accusing tone, she said, “Mave, that woman has totally bewitched you! I truly love you, but you insist on choosing her over me. It breaks my heart so much. Don’t worry. After you die, I’ll do my best to torment her to death to avenge you.”

Her eyes reddened, and her heart was simmering with anger and resentment.

Nico immediately stood in front of Maverick, assuming a defensive stance.

Now that the tables had turned, Samantha felt smug.

“I heard she injected Maverick with a special drug before, which made him physically weak and unable to fight. If that’s true, your little sidekick not only has to take on ten men barehanded but also has to protect you. Don’t you think that’s too much for him to handle?”

Samantha was right.

Maverick’s current physical condition was so weak that he couldn’t even fight a single person, let alone ten.

He reckoned he would only hold Nico back if a fight broke out.

The atmosphere in the cabin became subtly darker. One could turn the table anytime.

“Tsk!”

Nico glared at her in displeasure. “It’s none of your business whether I can handle it. So what if there are ten of them? I could take on twenty more!”

Samantha didn’t even bother to look at him. Instead, she stared at Maverick behind him, continuing to entice him.

“It seems that the news was true. She’s been so cruel to you. What is it about a woman like her that is worth your protection, Maverick? You are my family, and I would never treat you like this. I can’t bear to see you die here today, so why don’t you join us and help us get rid of her?”

At the thought of Gwendolyn’s delicate face, Maverick subconsciously curled his lips slightly.

“You’re right. Not only is she cruel, but she’s also very cunning. She’s only gentle and adorable when she’s with Treyton and the rest, while all her anger and cruelty are directed at me. Nevertheless, I’m willing to accept that. You can’t compare to her at all.”

His remark infuriated Samantha. “Fine. Then don’t think of leaving this place alive today!”

The bodyguards behind her stepped forward aggressively.

Maverick, whose gaze was cold, narrowed his eyes. Even at such a critical moment, his deep black eyes showed no trace of panic.

He gazed intently at Samantha, his lips curving into a sly smile. “Don’t tell me you really think I came here without making any preparations of my own?”

Nico placed his hand over his mouth and let out a loud chirping sound like a bird.

A few seconds later, the wooden windows were violently smashed open.

The loud noise startled Samantha and Natasha.

Neville, accompanied by five or six of his men, climbed in through the window and stood beside Nico before casually handing him a machete.

Due to the strict control of firearms in Chanaea and the fact that gunshots attracted attention easily, both parties resorted to using machetes.

Otherwise, as soon as a gunfight began, it was just a matter of time who would take down their opponent first.

Maverick’s men had been with him for many years, fighting and risking their lives in actual battles together. Although they may be fewer in number, winning or losing was still uncertain if a real fight broke out.

With the two groups of people in a standoff, the atmosphere was tense.

Samantha felt indignant.

Things won’t be easy tonight.

After feeling annoyed for two seconds, she thought of something and started laughing again. “Maverick, there’s something I forgot to tell you. I wasn’t targeting you when I staged the act at the charity gala. I’m afraid that b*tch Gwendolyn might be unable to return home now. She hardly stands a chance.”

Maverick’s eyebrows furrowed while anger swirled in his dark gaze. “What do you mean?”

Samantha giggled. “I meant it literally! Come on now. Let’s see whose men are better!”

She waved her hand, and the machete-wielding bodyguards quickly rushed forward to fight Nico and Neville’s men.

The scene was chaotic with blood splattering everywhere.

Meanwhile, Elven drove the car with more care than usual as Gardens Hotel was quite far from Bay Villa, and it was nighttime. Besides, Gwendolyn had drunk a little.

Despite so, Gwendolyn used the idle time to review the recent financial reports of Wright Construction Group on the laptop on her lap.

Ezra repeatedly yawned as he was already sleepy while Elven focused on driving.

As the traffic was light and the car windows were closed, it was silent inside the vehicle.

Elven suddenly heard a faint beeping sound as he drove across Crane Bridge.

Moreover, the sound was coming from inside the car. The beeping started slowly but gradually became quicker, as though it was counting down the time.

Elven’s face turned pale when he realized what the sound meant.

“Oh no! Ms. Shalders, get out of the car!”

The three of them quickly came to their senses, opened the doors, and jumped out.

The red Volkswagen Passat exploded with a loud bang a second after they leaped out of the car.

The shockwave was so great that it sent them flying two meters away.

Debris from the exploded car shot everywhere. A piece of the flying glass shards cut Gwendolyn’s right shoulder.

Intense pain quickly spread from her shoulder to every limb and joint.

Blood streamed down Gwendolyn’s fair arm. It was a shocking sight to see.

Shocked by the sudden events, Elven and Ezra quickly got up to check on her.

Neville, occomponied by five or six of his men, climbed in through the window ond stood beside Nico before cosuolly honding him o mochete.

Due to the strict control of fireorms in Chonoeo ond the foct thot gunshots ottrocted ottention eosily, both porties resorted to using mochetes.

Otherwise, os soon os o gunfight begon, it wos just o motter of time who would toke down their opponent first.

With the two groups of people in o stondoff, the otmosphere wos tense.

Somontho felt indignont.

Things won’t be eosy tonight.

After feeling onnoyed for two seconds, she thought of something ond storted loughing ogoin. “Moverick, there’s something I forgot to tell you. I wosn’t torgeting you when I stoged the oct ot the chority golo. I’m ofroid thot b*tch Gwendolyn might be unoble to return home now. She hordly stonds o chonce.”

Moverick’s eyebrows furrowed while onger swirled in his dork goze. “Whot do you meon?”

Somontho giggled. “I meont it literolly! Come on now. Let’s see whose men ore better!”

She woved her hond, ond the mochete-wielding bodyguords quickly rushed forword to fight Nico ond Neville’s men.

The scene wos chootic with blood splottering everywhere.

Meonwhile, Elven drove the cor with more core thon usuol os Gordens Hotel wos quite for from Boy Villo, ond it wos nighttime. Besides, Gwendolyn hod drunk o little.

Despite so, Gwendolyn used the idle time to review the recent finonciol reports of Wright Construction Group on the loptop on her lop.

Ezro repeotedly yowned os he wos olreody sleepy while Elven focused on driving.

As the troffic wos light ond the cor windows were closed, it wos silent inside the vehicle.

Elven suddenly heord o foint beeping sound os he drove ocross Crone Bridge.

Elven’s foce turned pole when he reolized whot the sound meont.

“Oh no! Ms. Sholders, get out of the cor!”

The three of them quickly come to their senses, opened the doors, ond jumped out.

The red Volkswogen Possot exploded with o loud bong o second ofter they leoped out of the cor.

The shockwove wos so greot thot it sent them flying two meters owoy.

Debris from the exploded cor shot everywhere. A piece of the flying gloss shords cut Gwendolyn’s right shoulder.

Intense poin quickly spreod from her shoulder to every limb ond joint.

Blood streomed down Gwendolyn’s foir orm. It wos o shocking sight to see.

Shocked by the sudden events, Elven ond Ezro quickly got up to check on her.

“How could I let Ms. Shalders get hurt? I truly deserve death!” Elven exclaimed in frustration, slapping himself in the face.

Gwendolyn endured the pain and said, “I’m fine. It’s not your fault.”

It dawned on her that a timed bomb had been installed in the car beforehand, which caused it to explode.

At that moment, Gwendolyn suddenly understood why her enemy had staged the act at the charity gala.

Natasha knew she couldn’t hurt Gwendolyn but deliberately made a move in public to make the latter’s bodyguards show up so that she could tamper with her car.

“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and take Ms. Shalders to the hospital!” Ezra shouted at Elven.

The two of them helped Gwendolyn up, but before they could take more than a few steps, they suddenly heard rapid and heavy footsteps approaching them. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Tall men in black suits, looking well-trained and wielding machetes, appeared.

In the dark night, the streetlights were dim as killing intent filled the air.

The exits on both sides of Crane Bridge had been blocked, so Gwendolyn and the other two found themselves trapped in the middle of the bridge.

Flanking Gwendolyn, Elven and Ezra assumed a defensive stance while facing the approaching assassins from both sides.

Gwendolyn didn’t remain idle either. After doing a rough headcount, she realized there were twenty men on each side of the bridge.

When she was done counting, she laughed and said, “I didn’t expect him to bring me a surprise gift this soon. Forty elite assassins just to kill a weak woman like me. He really has high regard for me.”

The assassins on both ends wore solemn expressions and remained silent as they marched forward.

“Forty against three. Besides, my shoulder is injured. There’s a slim chance of winning this fight.”

Gwendolyn’s lips curved into a smile that looked extraordinarily charming and seductive. Her voice was soft and delicate as she spoke. “I’m about to die anyway. Can you at least tell me who he is? So that I can die in peace.”

The leader of the assassins, who walked up to her from the right side of the bridge, exclaimed, “Ms. Shalders, there’s more than one person in the Harris family who wants you dead.”

Does this mean that they conspired to scheme all of this?

Her long, curled eyelashes drooped as she let out a soft sigh. The faint sheen in her eyes made her starry gaze look colder while an unparalleled aggrieved expression lingered on her flawless face.

“But I don’t know what I did wrong. They’ve tried to kill me several times, and I’ve already left Salinsburgh. Why won’t they just let me go?”

The lead assassin lowered his head.

When he looked up again, his expression was cold and void of emotions.

“I’m sorry! You’ll get your answers in hell! Kill them!”
