The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1646

Everyone in the van with Wendy thought she had lost her marbles. Despite their years spent as outlaws, none of

them had gone batshit crazy like her.

Watching her in her frenzied state, the man at the wheel began to regret taking her money for this job. He wasn’t

afraid of death, but he wasn’t about to throw his life away recklessly either. He had a crew to look after, lives that

couldn’t be gambled away on a whim.

Wendy was a complete madwoman.

Once her rage subsided, a sinister smile crept onto her face. “No fun in offing her right away.”

She said, chuckling darkly, as her gaze drifted to the traffic jam ahead. “Once the power’s back and the traffic

clears, bring her to melc2

Yasmine had always assumed Ava was out to kill her. The ideal outcome for Ava would be Yasmine dropping dead

on the spot, leaving Ava free of any worries for good. But she never expected someone to leverage her, to provoke

and pressure Chloe. Even less so, she couldn’t fathom someone brazen enough to destroy a car door in broad

daylight, not to kill her, but to take her away by force!

“Be good, or I’ll blow his brains out!”

The man’s face twisted in sadistic pleasure, and he pressed a gun to Bryson’s forehead, threatening Yasmine

Yasmine’s expression didn’t waver; she remained impassive. “Do you think I can outmaneuver a bullet? Are you

new to this or just inexperienced to threaten me with such words?”

The thug’s face flushed a deep red at Yasmine’s retort, pressing the gun harder against her temple. “One more

word, and I swear I’ll kill you”

Yasmine smirked. “My life is in your hands anyway, isn’t it? If you think you can explain my death to your boss or

your client, be my guest”

The thug was left speechless by Yasmine’s insolence. He couldn’t just kill her, of course! His boss had taken the

client’s money to bring this woman back alive She wasn’t to be killed at least not yet. If killing her was the plan, he

would’ve done so without all this fuss Yasmine must’ve figured this out Being seen as a non–threat by the person

you were threatening was rather humiliating,

“Enough talk! Even if I don’t take your life, it doesn’t mean I can’t take his! Be smart and come with me peacefully!”

Yasmine glanced at Bryson, who was at gunpoint and pursed her lips. You will take me no matter I cooperate or not.

Why waste words?”

At hearing her words, the thug retorted sarcastically. “You’re smarter than I thought!”

“Don’t go with him!” Bryson, who understood Yasmine’s intention, tried to stop her.

In response, the thug, apparently provoked, fired a shot at Bryson’s leg. He staggered and fell to one knee as his

left thigh took the bullet. The gunshot sent everyone around into a panic, their screams piercing the air.

That’s when someone shouted. The power’s back! Call the cops. Let’s get out of here!”

Hearing the commotion, the thug’s expression changed. Knowing Yasmine couldn’t run, he scooped her up and

rushed back to the van before traffic started moving

Upon seeing Wendy in the van, Yasmine’s eyebrows furrowed.

Wendy, meeting Yasmine’s gaze wore a gleeful smile “Hello, Ms. Yasmine!”

Yasmine’s eyes narrowed, and a flash of cold fury in her eyes. “You’re a fool, and you don’t even know it.”

Wendy’s smile faded for a moment before returning, wider than before. “Well, Ms. Yasmine, wouldn’t it be ironic if

you and your daughter ended up dead at the hands of this fool? What would that make you?”

Yasmine laughed coldly Only a lunatic like you would pull such a stunt! Do you think Chloe won’t see through this

charade? You’re so used to being the sheltered heiress, that you think everything goes according to your plans!

Have these experiences taught you nothing? Chloe is no fool like you?” Hearing herself compared to Chloe, and

unfavorably at that made Wendy’s face contort in anger ‘Since your precious Chloe is so perfect. ( think it’s only fair

you two meet before you die, don’t you agree?”

Yasmine replied coldly, “As I said, she’s not as foolish as you”

Wendy’s lips tightened into a thin line She fell silent as the traffic began to move. The driver started the van

weaving through the

ahead

Bryson, injured and helpless, could only watch as the van carrying Yasmine disappeared into the distance Goring his

teeth against the pain, he managed to stand with the help of the car door He pulled out his phone to call Chloe

Chloes car was also stuck in traffic due to the sudden blackout it took a while for the power to return and the traffic

to clear. She had wondered about the sudden power outage but didn’t give it much thought

”

Soon after the traffic started moving again, she got a call from Bryson

“Bryson, what’s up?”

“Miss Chloe

Bryson’s voice was filled with urgency. He called out to Chloe but didn’t say anything else.

“What’s wrong. Bryson?”

Bryson paused, then said, “Nothing, I just called to check if you were home yet”

Chloe frowned. “We parted ways only 15 minutes ago Greenfield Village is in the suburbs, there’s no way I could be

home su soon. Moreover, you should’ve reached home before me. You do know all this, right?”

10-27

Bryson paused again, his breath shaky from the pain in his leg. Yes, I know. We just got stuck in traffic, so I thought

maybe you got home early?”

Chloe didn’t suspect anything from Bryson’s excuse, responding casually, “I was stuck in traffic too. Probably

because of the city–wide blackout”

“Oh, I see. Let me know when you get home.”

Got it. You guys stay safe out there.”

Chloe ended the call, her brows furrowing in puzzlement as she stared at the recent call logs from Bryson on her

phone.

“What’s up? You’ve been looking worried since you took that call? Elizabeth, sitting nearby, couldn’t help but voice

her concern upon seeing Chloe’s distressed expression.

With a small shake of her head, Chloe pocketed her phone. It’s nothing, just that Bryson’s call seemed a bit off”

“What was off about it?”

Chloe pondered for a moment, her brows knitted tight, but she just shook her head again “Maybe I’m just
