Chapter 869 The Swap Went Smoothly

When he spoke these words, there was not a shred of warmth in his tone.

If she hadn't broken up with him, he might be been willing to be her shield.

He would marry her, allowing the Lockett family to be under the Luther family's protection.

However, she was the one who asked to break up with him, and their relationship was now in the past.

He wouldn't pay the price for her capriciousness and ignorance.

With tears swirling in her eyes, Aisley looked at him and sobbed. “What do you mean a human shield?How could I possibly use you as one? Simon, I love you. I love you with all my life. Can't you feel it?”

After she finished speaking, she lunged forward and frantically started to tear his shirt.

“Don't you want me? How about I give myself to you right now?”

A flash of anger crossed Simon's handsome face as he abruptly tossed her onto the couch.

“Please don't let me lose respect for you, and let us keep our good memories. After all, you were myfirst love. I don't want the image of you in my heart to turn terrifying and grotesque. As for the marriagealliance, you can proceed with it peacefully. I promise that as long as I live, the royal family will notharm you. This may be the only thing I can do for you.”

With that, he turned around and walked toward the door.

As he was stubborn, Aisley suddenly rushed to the coffee table. She grabbed the fruit knife from thefruit plate and held it against her own neck.

“Fine, I'll end my life.”

Simon abruptly turned around, only to see her slashing her own neck. He couldn't help but roar, “Areyou insane? Put the knife down immediately!”

“If you don't help me, I'm left with no choice but death.”

After she finished speaking, she pushed the knife a bit deeper, causing her wound to bleed profusely.

Simon narrowed his eyes in shock.

He stared at her intently, gritting his teeth as he asked, “Tell me. What do you want me to do?”

With a bitter laugh, Aisley stated, “What can I possibly make you do? I only wanted to tell you that I wasforced into this. We've loved each other for so long, and I've given you my heart. You can't marry herjust because she bore you a child.”

Simon rubbed his temple and retorted instinctively, “I have no plans to marry her.”

After that, he changed the subject. “First, put down the knife.”

Aisley laughed softly. “You have no plans to marry her? Good. You should marry me.”

Simon glanced at her pristine white wedding dress and said, “Today is your wedding day.” He soundedexasperated.

With a swift movement, Aisley pulled off her veil, a mysterious smile playing on her lips. “If today'swedding cannot proceed, you'll be responsible for ensuring my safety.”

Simon sensed something was amiss and parted his lips, preparing to inquire about it.

However, before he could speak, a sudden and intense explosion erupted from outside, shaking theroom violently a few times.

With a shriek, Aisley threw herself directly into Simon's arms.

Simon instinctively wanted to push her away.

“I'm scared.” Aisley clung to him tightly, looking at him with pitiful eyes. “Don't leave me here alone.”

With a low curse, Simon forcefully pushed her away.

“Stay here and don't move. I'm going to replace Caridee.”

After he finished speaking, he darted straight out of the room.

After watching him leave, Aisley picked up her phone and composed a message before sending it out:Caridee has indeed arrived at the wedding banquet. You helped me blow up the hotel, and in return, I'llprovide you with this information. We'll call it even with this.

A moment later, a reply came in: Looking forward to our next collaboration, Ms. Aisley.

The banquet hall descended into total chaos.

The recent explosion had ignited deep-seated fear within people, causing them to frantically search foran escape route.

Caridee was jostled by the guests, eventually ending up near the emergency exit in the southeast.

Being rather petite, she struggled to see her surroundings amidst the crowded chaos.

When she glanced backward, a familiar figure came into view.

“Veikko...”

That figure looks a lot like Veikko.

Moreover, he was wearing a black hat, as if deliberately disguising himself.

Didn't he go to run some errands? Why did he suddenly show up here?

“Veikko? Veikko!”

She called out a few more times, but the man still didn't lift his head, as if he hadn't heard her at all.

Considering the distance between us, he shouldn't have any trouble hearing. Besides, his hearing is sosharp, so why would his reaction be so slow?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was off.

After some thought, she felt that it was safer to go to Simon.

Having made up her mind, she veered away from the spot where the young man stood and altered hercourse, heading toward the private room instead.

Not far away, a female bodyguard dressed as a guest lifted her chin in Caridee's direction and said,“That woman just called out 'Veikko'. She must be Caridee. Should we take action immediately or waita bit longer?”

“What are we waiting for? Waiting for her to meet up with Simon? Once they meet, do you think we'llstill be able to catch her?”

“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get her!”

“Yes.”

Caridee squeezed her way through the bustling crowd and made it into the hallway leading to theprivate rooms.

There were quite a few people rushing out of the private rooms, making it very difficult for her to takeeven a single step forward.

Out of nowhere, a surge of pain shot through the back of her neck, and she had an instinctive urge tocry out.

It felt as though something was stuck in her throat, preventing her from saying anything.

In the next moment, her legs gave way, and she fell straight into someone's arms.

Next, she vaguely heard a deep male voice that was unfamiliar to her.

“Please make way for us. My sister is having an asthma attack. Please let us through, thank you.”

The moment her consciousness completely faded away, the only thought in Caridee's mind was: Wefell for their trap.

A moment later, Simon squeezed out of the private room. By this time, the banquet hall was almostempty.

As he prayed fervently, he searched through the crowd for Caridee.

“Simon!” Suddenly, a shout sounded behind him, causing him to instinctively turn around.

Seeing Caridee standing unharmed in front of him, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

“Thank goodness you're okay. Hey, where's your mask?”

Caridee huffed. “You were rushing me, so the mask wasn't glued on properly. It fell off.”

Just as Simon was about to speak, at that moment, Aisley rushed out from the room.

She had already changed out of her wedding dress and was now wearing a pastel-colored long skirt.

After reaching Simon, she lowered her voice and said, “Let's get out of here first. The rooftop hasexploded, and it's very dangerous here.”

Simon grabbed an abandoned hat from the ground and placed it on Caridee’s head before taking herhand and rushing toward the exit.

As he had instinctively abandoned Aisley, a dark look crossed her eyes.

No worries. He will be fine in a few days. He must still be mad at me right now.

“Simon, wait for me.”

At the underground parking lot, two bodyguards swiftly dragged the unconscious Caridee to the waitingvehicle and forcefully threw her inside.

“Mr. Carter, the swap went smoothly.”

Shaun stared coldly at the young girl lying on the ground, a glint of bloodthirsty chill flashing in his eyes.

Slowly, he reached out to cradle her chin as he observed her face.

The bodyguard took out a bottle of drug from the bag that Caridee was carrying.
