Chapter 38
The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride
âHelp! Help! Heâs trying to rape me!â
Janet grasped the door frame and shouted desperately.
Ike held her waist tightly and dragged her into the room. Despite struggling with all her might, helpless tears rolled down her cheeks.
She kept shouting until her voice grew hoarse. However, no one responded to her pleas.
Then, a flicker of hope ignited in her heart when she caught a glimpse of a waiter pushing a dining cart down the corridor in the distance.
Hoping against hope that the waiter could help her, she shouted with all of her might, âHelp! This manâs trying to rape me! Please help me! Call the police! Please!â
The waiter paused and glanced at her as she called to him desperately. However, his eyes were cold, and he then proceeded to walk away as though he hadnât seen or heard anything, disappearing behind the corner of the corridor.
âShut up already. People here wonât meddle in our business even if they see it. After all, theyâve seen too much of it. So be a good girl and do as I say. Maybe Iâll even be nice to you later.â As Ike spoke, he eyed Janetâs exposed waist hungrily. He couldnât wait to kiss her bare skin.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a heavy blow to his face and he fell backwards onto the floor.
Ike was shocked. His face stung and, as the taste of metallic blood filled his mouth, he could tell that one of his teeth was broken.
âWhat the fuck? How dare you hit me?!â
Ike spat out the loose tooth and a mouthful of blood. Touching his stinging cheek gingerly, he flew into a rage.
When he turned to look at the perpetrator, his eyes met that of a fierce man standing over him. The tall, burly man was wearing a black jacket and a black cap. Beneath his cap, his eyes gleamed coldly.
âEthan!â Wiping her teary eyes, Janet rushed to Ethan as though she had seen her savior.
Ethan met her halfway and stepped in front of her protectively. He took the black cap off of his head and put it on hers. Then, he wiped her tear-stained cheeks with his thumbs and said through gritted teeth, âGet out of here. Now.â
âDamn it! Fuck you, you bastard!â Ike angrily got to his feet. With clenched fists, he rushed towards Ethan in a fit of rage.
But before he could land a blow, Ethan caught Ikeâs fist and twisted it, forcing Ike to the ground. It was like subduing a weak chicken. With dark eyes, Ethan raised his own fist to punch the despicable Ikeâs face.
Ethan was a force to be reckoned with. After all, he was born ruthless and cruel.
Ike was beaten to a pulp. When Ethan was done, Ike couldnât get up. Two or three of his teeth were knocked out, and blood flowed freely from his nose. Finally, he shrieked, âLet go of me! Please!
Someone, help! Heâs trying to kill me!â
It wasnât until Ikeâs voice went hoarse that Ethan finally straightened his clothes and stood up. But he wasnât done yet. He kicked Ikeâs dick and spat coldly, âDo something like this again and Iâll cut your balls off.â
Ike immediately crumpled and rolled on the ground, screaming in pain loudly.
It took a while for him to recover. He quickly retreated a safe distance, like a cornered dog.
While he didnât dare to attack Ethan again, he still had the audacity to spit at Ethan. âWho are you?
How dare you meddle in other peopleâs business?â
Ethan calmly walked up to Janet and put his arm on her shoulder. To Ike, he held his chin up high and said coldly, âIâm her husband.â
Trembling like a leaf, Ike stood up, gnashed his teeth, and pointed at Ethan. âThis isnât over! I wonât rest until youâre behind bars!â
Then his pointing finger shifted to Janet. âAnd you! Donât even think about coming back to the Larson Group. Iâll make sure youâre banned from the whole industry, bitch!â
Ethan sneered, sending shivers down Ikeâs spine.
âIs that so? I guess weâll have to wait and see.â
At this point, he didnât want to waste his breath with Ike anymore. So, with his arm around Janetâs shoulder, he turned around and left along with her.
