Young Bride in a Lightning Marriage: Never Tired of Mr. Leon’s Love

Chapter 306



Jumping out of the window would only take two minutes tops, and Matthew was agile enough to do it without a problem.

Just as he jumped, the staff member happened to witness the scene. She screamed.

Was that man insane? How could he jump off the building?

She thought that Matthew was committing suicide, so she frantically ran to the window and looked down, only to see Matthew unharmed. After feeling momentarily relieved, she realized something was wrong. Was this man trying to escape? She could not let that happen. Only when she was about to hurry downstairs did she discover Charlotte lying on the ground.

By the time Matthew caught up with the sinister man, the man was already in a sorry state. He was struggling to fend off the bodyguards. However, he still held onto Lucy, showing no intention of letting her go.

Concerned about Lucy's safety, the bodyguards were unable to effectively intervene, which helped the sinister man hold his own against them. Now, Matthew had caught up and joined in. They did not seek a prolonged fight, and their goal was just to take Lucy from the man. Seeing as the situation was no longer in his favor, the sinister man made a bold move. He pulled out a knife from his pocket and let go of Lucy, changing his stance to hold her hostage.

"Don't move! You're all just lackeys of this princess, aren't you? If you don't want her dead, then back off!"

Charlotte had ordered him to take Lucy away before killing her after a couple of days so that she would not be implicated, but the circumstances had changed.

Now that so many people had seen his face, he realized he could not escape.

If he failed to complete his mission, he would have to face repercussions from his leader. He might as well finish the deal on the spot. Afterward, he could claim that he accidentally killed her while trying to kidnap her for ransom. Either way, he still completed his mission.

The knife was now pointed at Lucy's neck, causing Matthew and the others to restrain themselves.

Let

The sinister man surveyed his surroundings and locked eyes with Matthew. He sneered, "You're the leader, aren't you? Haha. If you don't want this woman dead, don't move!"

As he spoke, the knife edged closer to Lucy's neck, making Matthew's heart skip a beat. He was frozen in place.

The sinister man laughed loudly and continued, "Back off! All of you! Or I'll kill her! Hurry up!"

The group remained still. They turned to look at Matthew, who sighed and said coldly, "Step back."

Damn it. He had made a mistake. He knew that Charlotte was up to no good, but he foolishly believed that she would not be so brazen qut on the busy streets. How foolish of him!

Now, he had to focus on saving Lucy's life before considering anything else. The bodyguards retreated as instructed.

The sinister man laughed heartily and dragged Lucy out of their blockade.

"I knew you couldn't bear to see this woman die. Now, don't follow me, or she'll die at any second.”

He was truly a professional. Even with Lucy as his trump card, he did not turn his back to Matthew and leave himself vulnerable.

He backed away from Matthew and

the others, heading toward a carney

parked at the end of the alley. The tip of his knife never left Lucy's neck.

Wa

Matthew watched that knife. His feet felt as heavy as lead as he dared not take a step forward.

"Mr. Leon..."

Kent grew anxious. If they let him get away with Lucy, it would not be easy to find her.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

In that case, Lucy would be in even more danger!
