CHAPTER 457: CHAPTER 457: I’LL BE THE BEST MAN AT YOUR WEDDING 7

"Anything else?"

Chloe Grant saw Lucas Morgan blocking her path, so she asked.

Lucas hesitated for a moment and then stepped aside.

Chloe said nothing, directly walking past Lucas towards the distance.

Lucas turned around, watching her leave, feeling an emptiness and a deep, bitter pain inside.

Once, her eyes held only him.

Now, her eyes could no longer contain him.

Lucas lowered his head, the bitterness in his smile deepening...

At that moment, his phone rang.

Originally feeling very down, seeing the caller ID made his expression even darker.

He answered, speaking directly, "What do you want now? I’m telling you, I give you money, but I’m not a fool. Lily Grant, know when to be satisfied. If you continue being so greedy, I guarantee you won’t get a penny more in the future!"

Lucas, with a trace of anger, finished speaking and immediately hung up the phone.

...

Matthew Morgan’s villa was quite a distance from Lucas’, so Chloe took quite a while to get there.

Rushing all the way, she was full of momentum, but when she reached the doorstep, Chloe found herself feeling somewhat nervous.

She took a deep breath and finally punched in the code to open the door.

When the door opened, the lights in the living room were on.

However... just as Chloe was about to enter, the lights in the entire living room extinguished in a second.

Even the garden lights of the villa went out.

At the same time, Chloe seemed to hear the sound of something shattering!

She was completely stunned!

Could it be a power outage?

Just as this thought popped into her mind, a light suddenly flickered on inside the house, but only lasted for a dozen seconds before turning off again.

In the faint glow, Chloe seemed to see a figure...

Before she had time to think further, she felt someone approaching from the front. Then, she was grabbed by the waist, lifted up, and they jumped into the air. Afterward, the person holding her rolled with her on the floor.

Meanwhile, Chloe heard something smash onto the ground, making a crisp sound!

She couldn’t see anything!

There were many sounds around her, not only crisp ones, but also sounds of something hitting the boards... that sound was like a knife chopping wood...

The person holding Chloe never let go from the beginning.

His arms were strong, and after rolling with her on the ground, he lifted her up.

Like an adult carrying a child, he held her up, then quickly ran, turned corners... finally pinning her against the wall.

Chloe felt a sharp pain in her back!

"Why are you here?"

In the darkness, a deep voice sounded.

This time, Chloe didn’t need any doubt, and there was no confusion about who it was; the person speaking was Matthew Morgan!

From the moment he started holding her and rolling, jumping from the door, it was him!

"What’s happening? Is it another home invasion..."

In dangerous situations, one has a very intense feeling.

Even though Chloe couldn’t see now, she instinctively sensed that someone was attacking them!

Matthew didn’t have time to answer her question, embracing Chloe’s waist tightly. His body spun several more times, finally lifting Chloe onto his shoulder, seemingly running upstairs.

"Bang!"

"Click!"

It seemed like someone was holding a gun, or perhaps a knife... No! There was more than one person!

This was more than just a simple home invasion.

Chloe suddenly clutched Matthew’s arm tightly.

She was scared!

Not only because of the current scary situation, but also because she was afraid Matthew would get hurt because of her!
