A Replacement Bride

Chapter 174

"Since you're so clueless, don't blame me for being impolite! If you walk out of here in one piece, I'll eat my own tongue!" Ryder cursed viciously with bloodshot eyes. He spat the blood out his mouth before stepping forward and grabbing Tiara by the arm roughly.

This hurt her as she struggled desperately. "Let me go! Ryder Flynn! Do you know what the consequence of this is? My grandfather will never let you go!"

"Your grandfather? Tiara, there will be no use for him to cry over spilled milk. Do you think he will still object when it's too late? No matter how angry he is, he can only swallow it down! What kind of nobleman can you marry after I f*ck you? Just accept your fate, Tiara! Since I like you so much and went through so much to chase you, don't worry. After we get married, I'll make sure to have my fun with you. I'll drop you once I'm bored." Ryder smiled sinisterly and reached out to pull off Tiara's clothes.

Her eyes turned red as tears began to fall. She glanced at Katherine in aggrievance and said guiltily, "Katherine, I'm sorry for dragging you into this. I shouldn't have brought you out with me."

"Don't worry. Once I'm done with you, I'll also make sure she gets a taste of heaven. I won't be biased!" He turned to look at Katherine

What she did just now had wholly infuriated him.

He not only wanted to sleep with her, but he also wanted her to be kneeling on the ground, begging.

"Really?" She smiled coldly. Then, in a flash, several silver needles pierced directly onto the back of Ryder's hand, chest, and abdomen.

This made him let out an agonizing scream as he was forced to release Tia.

Katherine quickly stepped forward and pulled Tiara behind her protectively. Then, Katherine looked at Ryder indifferently. "Since some things are useless after a while, you shouldn't keep them. People around you might get hurt."

"Y-y-you! What did you do to me? What did you do?!" He stared at Katherine grimly, wishing she could kill her. That b*tch!

Her lips hooked up into a charming smile. "What's the rush? You're about to find out."

At this point, he was sweating in pain.

Someone in the private room noticed this and stepped forward uneasily to help him up. Then, she helped him up and pointed her finger at Katherine jarringly, cursing, "You b*tch! Do you know who Mr. Flynn is?! How dare you offend him? Do you not want to live anymore? His grandfather is the bureau chief of Hovington's Department of Defense! You probably don't even know what that means!"

"A bureau chief in the defense department? You can call him now to see if he'll protect you. Oh, remember to tell him that the people that you were trying to make a move on are Joaquin's sister and his wife," Katherine said lightly as her cold gaze swept onto the woman.

Under her gaze, discomfort rose in the woman, and she subconsciously shrank back, not daring to say another word.

"Go to hell! I want all of you dead!" Ryder roared angrily as he took out his phone to make a call.

"Grandpa! Grandpa, save me! I've been beaten up in Ascott Garden! Grandpa, I'm going to die!" He cried into the phone.

A cold and threatening male voice rang out faintly. "What happened?"

"Grandpa, quick, come and save me! They're going to kill me!" Naturally, Ryder did not dare to confess that he was only beaten because he tried to harass women.

His grandfather, Charles Fanning, was an upright man. If he knew that his grandson had done such a thing, not only would he not save him, but he would personally kill him with a gun!

Katherine didn't bother stopping Ryder as she watched him talk on the phone coldly.

Tiara tugged at Katherine uneasily and said, "Katherine, shouldn't we make a call as well?"

"Call your brother," Katherine answered indifferently.

Tiara nodded and took out her phone to call Joaquin.

As soon as his voice sounded over the phone, she was overwhelmed by emotions that she quickly told him what had happened whilst sobbing, "Joe, hurry over!"

Once she hung up the phone, she shrank behind Katherine.

Tiara had never experienced anything like this before and was overwhelmed with uneasiness and fright. She was scared that Ryder's grandfather would come and that she and Katherine would be in trouble.

Someone had blocked the door; there was no way for them to leave, even if they wanted to.

However, Katherine didn't seem to care about it. Instead, she pulled two small stools over and sat down with Tiara casually.

As for Ryder, he had to be helped onto the couch. His whole body was in severe pain, especially at a man's most sensitive part.

"You're all dead! No one can save you! Joaquin Levisay is a good-for-nothing! Even if he isn't crippled, I still won't take him seriously! Now that you've offended me, your life in Hovington is over!" He stared at Katherine with resentment. His words seemed to be laced with poison.

Katherine did not even spare him a glance. Instead, she looked at Tiara's arm that he had tugged; a bruise was already starting to form. Then, Katherine took a small porcelain bottle from her bag and applied a little of the creamy white ointment onto Tiara's arm.

When Tiara saw how relaxed Katherine was, Tiara also calmed down a little. She watched Katherine rub the ointment on her and asked suspiciously, "Katherine, what is this?"

"It'll help with the swelling. It's pretty good. Since I have no use for it, you can have it." After putting the ointment on Tiara, Katherine passed the small porcelain bottle to her.

Tiara opened it up to sniff it as soon as she took it. It had a refreshing smell.

At this time, the bruise felt cool. She glanced down and was surprised to find that her arm, swollen and black-blue, was now a lot better.

She then quickly put the ointment into her bag.

This thing is fantastic!

Charles and Joaquin arrived at Ascott Garden at the same time.

The two men met downstairs. Charles was surprised to see Joaquin here. "Colonel Levisay?"

"Chief Fanning," Joaquin greeted lightly.

"I didn't expect to meet you here, Colonel. What a coincidence." Charles smiled, not taking Joaquin's indifference to heart.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Joaquin was one of the top people in the military. Even if Charles was the bureau chief of Hovington's Department of Defense, he was incomparable to Joaquin.

However, Joaquin had always kept a low profile. He needed his identity to be a secret. Outsiders knew nothing about this.

"Mmhmm." He still had an indifferent front.

The two got onto the elevator together.

The further the elevator moved up, the more weirded out Charles was. In the end, the two of them stood together at the private room's door. At this time, the complexion on Charles' face had changed completely.

He gave Joaquin a solemn look before reaching out and pushing open the door in front of him.
