"Olivia?" John squatted down and quickly snatched the phone from her hand. Ava walked in with a happy expression on her face. "Has she finally calmed down?" she asked.
"What's going on? How did she faint?" John asked in confusion.
Ava approached and gently hugged John's arm, coquettishly saying, "Isn't it good that she fainted? John, now that our relatives know about us, why don't we get married?"
"But what about your sister?" Although John had only married Olivia to obtain the appraisal collection, he couldn't deny that he also had feelings for her. He just couldn't resist Ava's temptation.
At Ava's words, her eyes turned and she said, "Don't worry about that. My mother has already arranged it. Isn't the Johnson Family looking for a wife for their eldest son, David? We can marry your sister to him! A dowry of ten million is enough to make your company go public. Since she won't give up the appraisal collection, it's worth it to exchange it for ten million."
In fact, everything that happened today was Ava's deliberate arrangement. She had been secretly plotting with John for many years and had never been happy about him marrying Olivia. So she deliberately arranged for Olivia to catch them in the act of cheating, causing the wedding to be ruined. This way, she could be with John openly and honestly.
"David? That crazy guy with the quirks?" John was surprised and opened his mouth wide.
"Yeah, why are you still reluctant to let your sister get married? Do you want a promising future or a useless woman? John, I am better and more capable than your sister. We will be happier together in the future," Ava cooed and clung onto John's arm.
John was hesitant at first, but Ava's words dispelled all his doubts.Yes, if Olivia got married, they could get a dowry of ten million! As a man, money and power were naturally more important. Although he liked Olivia, he had to sacrifice her for now.
...
On the other side.
It took Olivia a while to slowly open her eyes. She found herself in a strange and spacious bedroom, decorated in a festive red color.
A maid stood by the bed and, impatiently glancing at her, said, "Stop pretending to be dead and get up to change your clothes. You will serve the Young Master soon."Olivia's mind was still very confused. She sat up and looked at the big red wedding dress on the bed, asking, "Where am I?"
"Don't your family tell you? This is the Johnson Family. Your family has married you off to our Young Master as his bride," the maid replied in an annoyed tone.
Olivia was instantly sobered by these words. Anyone in Maple City knew that David, the young master of the Johnson Family, was ugly, cruel, insane, and had peculiar preferences.
Faced with the temptation of such a huge fortune, many women still wanted to give it a try, but unfortunately, the end result was mysteriously disappearing on their wedding night.
How did she become a sacrificial lamb to this wealthy family?
Olivia immediately got up from the bed. "I'm sorry, there must be some misunderstanding. I did not agree to this marriage."
The maid stopped her and sneered, "Want to leave? Your family has already received a dowry of ten million yuan. Whether you want to marry or not, you have to marry."
It must be that couple who sold her here while she was unconscious.
How did it feel like she had just escaped from the wolf's den, only to fall into the tiger's lair?
After a brief panic, Olivia calmed down.
"When is the wedding?"
"Wedding? You're thinking too much. There is no wedding! Just now, change your clothes and go to the bridal chamber."
"No, I don't agree!"
Olivia jumped off the bed.
The maid, Molly, walked up to her with her arms crossed, looking at her contemptuously.
"Oh! You're putting on airs now! Let me warn you, don't think too highly of yourself. Since your family sold you for ten million yuan, it means that you are worth less than a dog in their eyes. You better cooperate with us obediently, otherwise, we might have to let you go in lying down."
"What you're doing is illegal!!"
"So what? You better think about whether you have the ability to come out alive first."
Molly was very dominant and didn't even consider Olivia's feelings. She called in other servants and forced Olivia to change into her wedding dress. Under Molly's watchful eye, Olivia was taken to the wedding room. Along the way, Olivia tried to escape, but the windows on both sides of the corridor were nailed shut, and there were four or five security guards watching her, so she couldn't find an opportunity.
After more than ten minutes, Olivia was pushed into a large and festive bedroom. The bedroom was large, with no lights on, only the light from the corridor shining through the bedroom door. The decoration was exquisite, luxurious, and heavy, but also dark and endless.
In the darkness, she could vaguely see the back of a mysterious man. She could hear the voices of the maids behind her. "Young Master, we wish you a pleasant evening." Then, she was pushed into the room.The bedroom door slammed shut, and Olivia was plunged into darkness. It was quiet, but there was an indescribable sense of strangeness. Was this man the Johnson Family's Young Master? Olivia tried hard to see him, but in the darkness, she couldn't make out his appearance. Rumor had it that he was ugly, cruel, and had a mental illness. Every bride who had been sent here before had mysteriously disappeared.
Are those brides really dead, or... No! She couldn't let herself end up like that! If she wanted to survive, she had to find a way to escape. When she entered the room earlier, she had taken a quick glance at the furniture layout. Now, she crawled under the bed in the dark, moving quickly. In the darkness, she could hear the low and suppressed roar of a man. The voice sounded distorted, like some kind of beast that had been provoked and was now emitting a terrible howl.
The space under the bed was not large, and she was facing the floor with the back of her head almost touching the mattress. The man pounced on the mattress, searching for something as if he were searching for his prey. However, he did not find what he was looking for and angrily smashed everything in the room. Olivia covered her ears with her hands and closed her eyes, but the sound of objects shattering continued to ring in her ears. After a long time, it seemed to quiet down.She wondered if the man had calmed down.
As she moved her numb limbs slightly, a large hand suddenly reached out from the darkness and dragged her out from under the bed. Then she was thrown onto the big bed. In the dim moonlight, she saw a pair of crimson eyes. At the same time, the man's heavy body pressed down on her. "Ah..."
