Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband
Chapter 894: If You Love Me, You’re Doomed!
CHAPTER 894: CHAPTER 894: IF YOU LOVE ME, YOU’RE DOOMED!
Leah Thorne was never one to be trifled with. From the moment she saw a knife hidden in Davina Rowe’s sleeve, she knew Davina couldn’t stay.
So she pulled Davina’s hand and made a cut on her own finger.
Blood oozed out, and Davina was startled, dropping the knife with a clang onto the ground. She looked at Leah in shock, "You..."
Before the word was out of her mouth, a large, well-defined hand reached out and grasped Leah’s small hand.
Davina looked up, and the handsome and refined face of Justin Xavier was magnified in her vision.
Justin Xavier had arrived.
Davina’s eyes brightened, "President Xavier, you’re just in time, Leah she..."
Davina hadn’t finished speaking before a fierce gust of wind rushed towards her and a heavy slap landed on her face.
Slap.
The crisp and fierce sound echoed as Davina was sent sprawling to the floor.
A metallic taste filled her mouth, and blood trickled from the corner of her lips. She felt her teeth loosen.
Her face burned with a stinging pain, numb from the intensity.
Justin Xavier had slapped her as soon as he arrived!
Davina was stunned, clutching her red and swollen cheek, looking at the man before her. Justin stood over her, his icy black eyes resting on her face, calm and dark as the Satanic king emerging from the night, chilling to the bone.
For years, Justin had been packaged with words like handsome, refined, elegant, abstinent... But this innate darkness and fierceness couldn’t be washed clean. He didn’t usually strike women, but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t.
Davina lay on the floor, and the handsome face showed no emotion or trace of his actions as he calmly withdrew his gaze and looked at Leah, "Does it hurt?"
Leah nodded, "It hurts."
Justin put her pale finger in his mouth, gave it a firm suck, and then pressed on the wound, "Let’s go to the room, I’ll bandage it for you."
Justin left with Leah.
Davina felt discarded like trash. She knew her good days were over and she was unwilling to accept this, so she loudly shouted at Justin’s back, "President Xavier, don’t be fooled by Leah, it wasn’t me, she cut her own hand just now!"
Davina bravely spoke the truth, not wanting to be scapegoated. She wanted Justin to know what Leah was really like!
At this moment, Justin suddenly paused and looked back at Davina.
Davina thought he had a change of heart and ignored the numb swollen face, "President Xavier, please believe me, Leah did cut her own hand. Today she can hurt herself without blinking, tomorrow she could hurt you. A woman who loves no one is a dangerous woman."
Leah quietly watched Davina, though Davina didn’t seem very smart, she was right about this.
Leah looked at Justin, not sure how he would react.
Justin had no visible reaction, he looked at Davina and said, "If you hadn’t brought a knife, would she have had the chance to hurt herself? In the end, it’s still your fault."
"..." Davina gasped, shocked that her heartfelt words were doused by Justin with cold water. She hadn’t expected Justin to see through Leah’s deliberate act.
Indeed, a man as sharp as Justin must’ve noticed Leah injured herself right from the start.
Yet, he still protected Leah, indulged Leah.
Davina realized Justin was truly bewitched by Leah, who knew what charm she had cast on him.
If one day Leah were to stab Justin with a knife, if successful, it would be because Justin willingly allowed it.
By now, Justin couldn’t be bothered to spare her another glance, "I don’t want to see you again."
Having said that, Justin strode off with Leah.
Slumped on the ground, Davina’s face paled. It was over; she knew she was finished. As she looked up, she saw two bodyguards in black approaching, like the reaper’s agents, coming to take her away.
Davina was terrified, trembling all over, teeth chattering, no... no...
...
In the room.
Justin took out a medical kit to treat Leah’s wound. His actions weren’t gentle, and Leah frowned, "It hurts... President Xavier, you’re hurting me..."
Justin was expressionless, "What do you mean hurting you, what nonsense are you talking now? I’m not in the mood to listen to your nonsense, keep your mouth shut!"
"..." Leah understood he was in a bad mood, very bad.
Having bandaged the wound, Justin put back the medical kit, not looking at Leah, and turned to the bathroom to wash his hands.
Leah followed him like a little tail, "President Xavier, what’s wrong, are you angry?"
Justin lowered his handsome eyelids, focused on washing his hands, not turning back, looking very cold, "Why, are you going to coax me if I’m angry?"
The woman behind was silent.
Justin’s thin lips curved into a faint mocking smile, if she wasn’t going to coax him, why was she concerned whether he was angry or not?
At this moment, his rolled-up sleeve moved, and a soft, charming little thing quietly slipped in under his arm, wedging itself between him and the sink, Leah’s small, bright face magnified infinitely in his view.
"President Xavier, I’m here to coax you." As she spoke, Leah wrapped her small hands around his neck, exhaling softly towards him, "Why do I feel like I’m being subtly seduced by a patron?"
Justin turned off the tap and wrapped an arm around her soft little waist, "You really haven’t served a patron, do you misunderstand that subtle seduction is so poorly executed, or are today’s stars so lacking that they can’t even play along?"
"..." Okay, Leah never wins in verbal sparring.
"President Xavier, what are you really angry about?"
Justin pinched her little waist, "Between you and me, Davina’s just a word on your part. If you want her gone, just say the word, why hurt yourself?"
Leah blinked her lashes, then stood on tiptoe, her red lips by his ear, "I wanted to test if you... really love me or not?"
The closeness made Justin’s throat tighten, he hummed lightly, "And if I do?"
"Justin Xavier, if I find out you love me, then... you’re done for!" Leah whispered each word softly.
Justin’s lips curled, he truly smiled, knowing she wasn’t joking. The little canary he pampered was so proud, if she found out he loved her, she would definitely lord over him.
