Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 124

This sentence was a clear reminder to Zayn that he and Lindsey were nothing more than business partners at the moment.

Zayn tried to restrain the urge to haul Lindsey over his shoulders and lock her up at home. Just as he was about to say something, the bodyguard responsible for protecting Lindsey and Allie Wilford came to Lindsey and said with a hint of tension in his voice, "Ms. Juhl, the Young Lady is missing."

"What?" Lindsey's heart instantly constricted. Allie was unfamiliar with Atlantic City, so she would not run around by herself. Moreover, this club was so rowdy, so Lindsey could only pray that nothing happened to Allie.

"The Young Lady was dancing over there, but because of the commotion here, we got distracted for a moment and she disappeared in the blink of an eye."

"Hurry up and get people to look for her! Transfer everyone over now! She mustn’t have gone far in such a short time, so search around here first." Lindsey was quick to react. Cold sweat accumulated on her forehead and she did not even bother about Zayn who was standing on the side.

Zayn had been following Lindsey these past few days and could tell that she had a good relationship with Allie Wilford, who was also the Young Lady of Wilford Corporation. Although Zayn still did not know how Lindsey came to be involved with the Wilfords, if something happened to Allie while she was out with Lindsey, Zayn subconsciously worried about the repercussions for Lindsey.

He made a phone call to his men, then pulled Lindsey's wrist and whispered, "There’s a residential area three hundred meters from here, right at the end of the alley behind this club."

"Why should I believe you?" Lindsey refused to believe Zayn.

Zayn looked at her frankly as he asked, "Why would I lie to you?"

"Who knows? Mr. Guggenheim, you might’ve felt too bored, so you came here to make fun of me. After all, you like to stomp all over people’s hearts."

"Is that what you think?" An anguished look surfaced on his face, but it was too faint. In such an environment, Lindsey could not see it clearly.

She did not want to dwell on this. At this time, the bodyguards also happened to report some news. It was the exact same as the location Zayn told her earlier.

Lindsey was stunned and looked back at Zayn, but in the next second, she fiercely shook off his hand.

Zayn looked at Lindsey’s back and spoke softly, "I won't lie to you."

Lindsey paused in her footsteps. "Unfortunately, I won't ever believe you again."

After saying that, she left with a few bodyguards and ran straight to the back alley of the club.

Zayn smiled bitterly and still could not rest assured, so he made a gesture to his undercover bodyguards and followed behind her without a delay.

The dark alley behind the bar was a stark contrast to the dazzling lights in the club. The ground was pockmarked with smelly and muddy puddles. Lindsey was still wearing high heels and she could not see the road clearly, so she was walking crookedly and almost fell several times. Luckily, the bodyguard next to her held her so that she would not fall to the ground.

"You guys go first. Saving the Young Lady is our priority." Lindsey also knew that she was a burden and asked them go ahead to look for Allie while she followed from behind. Allie could be in more danger if they dawdled even a minute longer.

Zayn was following closely behind. When he saw Lindsey holding the bodyguard’s arm, he became even more frustrated.

The alley was not very long. Soon, they reached the end of the road and saw the row of houses in front.

This area looked abandoned because there were no street lights around. There was only one house that was lit up with white lights.

A few bodyguards who had arrived first stood in front of the dilapidated house.

Lindsey did not have a good feeling about this. She walked closer and peered into the house to observe the situation.

Lindsey ignored him and stared at the tattooed man with sharp eyes. “Take me instead. I’m the wife of Denarius’ President, so I’m worth much more than her. Not only can you guys get out of here, but you can also get a nice sum of money. Besides, I guarantee that absolutely no one will come after you guys.”

"Ha! Do you think we’ll believe you just because you said you’re the wife of Denarius’ President? I can say that I’m the President of Denarius too!" The tattooed man thought that Lindsey was lying to him.

He did not have the slightest clue that the President of Denarius was among the people who were there and Lindsey was indeed said President's wife. It was just that she detested this title at the moment.

Lindsey initially wanted to say that she was the President of Wilford Corporation, but because she had just taken office, the other party would not know of it. The wife of Denarius’ President was different though. She believed that anyone in Atlantic City would more or less have some impression.

Behind her, Zayn was startled to hear her say the words, “wife of Denarius' President”.

"Hey boss, she really seems to be the wife of Denarius’ President."

A young blonde guy behind the tattooed man looked at Lindsey's face and scrolled through his phone. After a moment, he eventually found some old articles.

"Denarius is part of the Guggenheim empire. Do you know what that means? If you use me as a hostage, just one phone call from me can get you a lifetime of cash." Lindsey calmly induced them.

"No, wait. Didn’t the wife of Denarius’ President die six months ago?" The blonde guy suddenly recalled and looked at Lindsey warily.

"I'm not dead. I just wasn’t feeling well and was recuperating abroad. You guys just have this one chance. Or else, I can guarantee that if you leave one mark on her, I’ll return it a thousand times over!"

The tattooed man was startled by her strong character and somewhat believed that she was the wife of Denarius' President.
