SWNOVELS Chapter 162 Kill
"You can slap me again, Celia, as long as it makes you happy. I don't want to owe you anything!" She was his fiancée five years ago, but now Ashley is his fiancée. She is nothing to him anymore! "You..." Celia retracted her raised hand, "I won't hit you again, you owed this slap to my brother!"
"Okay! So, I don't owe it anymore, right?" Susan ignored the palm print on her face and went upstairs with a faint smile.
Celia stood there blankly for some time, then she turned around and walked to the corner. She saw Leon leaning against the wall with one hand, his shoulders were trembling.
Afraid that he was crying she didn't dare to just walk past him.
She stood behind him with red eyes, "Leon, let go! A simple girl like Ashley suits you better. Susan is too complicated."
Leon did not say anything.
Sherry had been paying close attention to Susan; she was worried about her. When she saw her come back with a handprint on her face, but still smiling. Seeing her smile like that, Sherry was reminded of the day she saw William and Lucille's intimate photos at the MH residence that day. That day, she had also smiled like Susan.
"Susan, what happened to your face?" Sherry held her hand sympathetically.
"It's nothing!" Susan shook her head.
At this moment, Sierra was standing beside the elevator, looking at Sherry and Susan. Her eyes had a complexity in them, especially when she looked at Susan.
Sherry glanced at her without expressing any emotions. She seemed all right. She had recovered well and Payne also seemed to be good for her. Sherry thought. She should be happy now! This was her mother.
A woman who made her unable to reach a verdict.
She was with Cohen, then Clark and now she was with Payne!
Sherry curled her lips into a bitter smile, "Susan, let me accompany you for a walk."
Susan glanced upstairs, thinking that she had wanted to stay until the end of the banquet with good grace, but she didn't expect this to happen. It also wasn't good for her self-esteem to stay there any longer. "All right! Let's go out!"
"Wait!" Sierra said suddenly.
Sherry was taken aback, "What is it, Mrs. Jones?"
Sierra ignored Sherry and walked up to Susan.
"What are you going to do?" Sherry became nervous.
Sierra's gaze became cold, "No matter who you are, stay away from Leon in the future. I won't let anyone hurt Ashley, even if it's you Sherry, let alone Susan!"
Susan was a little surprised. The hostility in Sierra's eyes made her step back unconsciously, "Mrs. Jones, how do you know my name? Also, you must have misunderstood, I have nothing to do with Leon!" "Susan, you don't need to explain to her." Sherry shook her head, "Let's go!"
"Hah!" Sierra sneered coldly.
Sherry paused and looked at her, "What are you laughing about?"
"Sherry, don't tell me you want a woman your age to be your step-mother?"
"That has nothing to do with you!" Sherry was very angry.
"Do you think that if you know Cohen, you will have a someone to support you? You will never become the eldest daughter!" Sierra said mockingly and then looked at Susan, "And you! Don't think that he will like you. That will never happen! He is not an affectionate person, not to anyone!"
Sherry and Susan realized that the "him" Sierra was referring to was Cohen, they both looked at Sierra in astonishment at the same time. Sierra continued to sneer, "Stop trying to be a stealing witch and trying to seduce my son-in-law again. You'd better forget about it!"
"You are really despicable!" Sherry responded, "Susan, let's go!"
William worried about Sherry and Susan, stepped out of the elevator and saw them looking at each other with daggers in their eyes. He stood there blankly for a moment and then hurried towards them. "What happened?"
Sierra sneered, shot William a look and turned around to leave.
At this moment someone hurried in from outside and said to Sierra, "Mrs. Jones, Miss Jones has been kidnapped!"
"What?!" Sierra exclaimed, "How could she be kidnapped?"
"Whoever kidnapped her is very strange and doesn't want any money. The demand is for her to cancel her engagement with Mr. Hickman otherwise..." "Otherwise what?"
The man trembled with fear, "Kill!"
Ashley was kidnapped.
The engagement banquet became a mess after losing the bride.
Leon was shocked and felt even more guilty.
Susan was shocked too and everyone became really worried.
Payne's whole face turned white as paper. He pointed to his subordinates and yelled, "Useless bastards! Is this how you protect her? You are all good for nothing!"
"Payne, we should think carefully about this." Sierra said, standing beside him trembling with fear.
"Shut your fucking mouth!" Payne cursed at her in front of so many people and everyone became quiet in an instant. He realized that he became so violent that he cursed but he didn't apologize, his face hardened as he ordered his people, "Go and find her!"
Sierra's face became deathly pale after the insult and she quietly shrank to the side.
Leon's parents were also anxious, "How could it be? We finally found such a great daughter-in-law!"
They had been waiting to hug their grandson for so many years, but...
They finally found a daughter-in-law with such difficulty but now this happened. Last time, Susan had disappeared just after the engagement banquet, this time...
Ever since Sierra had tried to say something, Sherry's expressions had not been looking good. William had also noticed that he looked in a bad mood. He looked at Sierra and Sherry again, and felt like their faces were somewhat similar.
At this time Leon's phone rang. He had been standing there gloomily, after picking up the call his face became even more dull. He quickly walked to the corner and said a few words into the phone. Then he came back with a complicated expression on his face.
The relatives and friends of the two families were all talking about what had happened.
"How could she be kidnapped?"
"Yeah, how terrible!"
"True, true!"
"Leon, who could it be? Shall we call the police?" Celia stepped up and said quickly to Leon. Then she noticed that there was something wrong with him, he looked a little weird.
Leon didn't answer. He walked up to Susan in front of everyone, held her hand and got down on one knee. Susan looked at him astonished as he said, "Susan, let's get married! The person I love has always been you!"
There was an uproar.
"What the fuck are you doing Leon?" Payne was furious.
Sherry and William were also stupefied, however, the most shocked was Susan. Her face was flushed, not with humiliation but with astonishment. She stammered, "Le... Leon, get up quickly!" "Marry me!" Leon repeated, his expressions strange.
Susan shook her head, "Leon, think of a way to save Ashley instead of joking around. Everyone is watching!"
Liam and William exchanged looks, and Liam whispered, "How did this happen? This is too dramatic!"
Leon parents also stood stupefied.
Leon's reaction to Ashley's kidnapping was unexpected, after the initial shock wore off people began to gossip again.
"How could this happen?"
"Leon, you bastard! What do you think of my daughter?" Payne came over and kicked Leon on his shoulder. Leon fell over but got up, enduring it silently, still on one knee.
He repeated, "Susan, marry me!"
Susan was even more astonished, looking at Sherry and William silently for help.
"Leon, what is going on?" William realized that something was wrong, "Leon, you should be saving Ashley at this time, what are you doing?"
Sierra chose this moment to shout suddenly, "I know who it is! Payne, I know who kidnapped Ashley..."
She went over and whispered a few words in Payne's ear. Payne's eyes became sharp, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Sherry with a cold smile.
Sherry looked back at him blankly. Before she could react, he had already walked up to her.
Before anyone could say anything, he had grabbed her by the hand and pulled her over. Suddenly a gun, which he had produced from somewhere, was touching Sherry's head. He sneered coldly and then shouted, "Cohen, your daughter is in my hands. Give me back my daughter and I will release yours!"
Sherry gasped in pain as she was suddenly pulled, struggling to break free with the muzzle of the gun pointed at her head. She subconsciously looked at Sierra, but there was no trace of guilt in Sierra's eyes. Sherry couldn't believe it, Sierra actually let Payne point a gun at her head? The panic that had filled her originally was replaced with sorrow at this moment. Her mother, this woman was her mother! "Shit!" William was even more caught off guard by this scene. While panic flashed in his eyes, he quickly regained his wit, "Mr. Jones, say whatever you have to, but let her go!" Sherry felt extremely bitter at this moment, suddenly wanting to cry but the tears didn't come. Sierra was her mother! Her mother!
Her gaze turned towards William and seeing the panic in his eyes she suddenly smiled at him.
She thought it was great to have William! At least he was worried about her!
Seeing her smile like that, William's heart constricted, "Sherry, don't be afraid, I'm here!"
She knew he was there. She knew, so she wasn't afraid.
"Tell Cohen to let my daughter go!" Payne pulled Sherry with him as he began to go outside.
"Wait!" William's voice lowered deeply; at the same time, it became chillingly cold. William's cold expressions, his calm and arrogant features and dignified posture made everyone look at him stupefied. "Mr. Jones, Sherry is my woman. You will lose my respect if you take her away like this."
"William." The anger on Payne's face turned into shock in an instant. It wasn't that he didn't understand William's background or his business skills. He knew all that which is why William had been his first choice as a son-in-law. William had a noble king like aura, which Leon obviously lacked. "This is between me and Cohen! Don't worry, as long as my daughter is fine, Sherry will also stay fine!"
"So, you are insisting on taking her away?" William's deep voice was filled with indifference, his eyes narrowed. He looked sharply at Payne, and then at Sierra.
Everyone stood blankly.
Leon hadn't expected this at all. Susan anxiously pulled him up, "Leon, get up. Tell me, is someone threatening you?"
Leon didn't respond to her question, he just said, "Mr. Jones, let go of Sherry! I promise I will save Ashley!"
"Don't you dare! Don't you dare ever think about my daughter again! You bastard!" Payne roared, "My daughter must have been blind in love to have considered you! You heartless bastard!" Leon didn't say anything, he just silently accepted Payne's verbal abuse.
And William, his face was no longer as polite as it was at the beginning.000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
