Married by Accident, Taming the Billionaire

Chapter 285 Protect Daughter at All Risks

Once inside, the shadow quietly approached the bed, using a small flashlight to illuminate the area.

Indeed, she was incredibly beautiful!

No wonder she made Adam abandon his principles!

In Fujino’s dark eyes, a fervor gleamed.

He also noticed the little girl lying next to her, but she posed no threat to him.

Fujino turned off the flashlight and was preparing to make a move. However, at that moment, a gunshot sounded near the mansion.

In the silent night, the sudden noise startled the sleeping inhabitants awake.

Cecelia, in a daze, heard the gunshot and woke up alertly. Opening her eyes, she seemed to perceive a figure standing by hér bed.

“Remington…”

At first, she thought it was Remington coming to find her.

She instinctively called out his name, but the next second, the man’s actions left her stunned.

A large, vice-like hand suddenly gripped her throat, cutting off her breath. The man’s body pressed down on her.

Amidst her struggle, Cecelia realized, with a growing sense of awareness, that this couldn’t be Remington. Remington wouldn’t treat her so roughly.

Her throat was being constricted, making it impossible to produce any shouts, and her breathing grew increasingly difficult.

With one hand, Cecelia tried to pry the man’s grip away from her neck, while her other hand fumbled for the nightstand, eventually finding a power bank.

Using all her strength, she swung it at the man’s head. Fujino winced in pain, and his grip on her hand loosened momentarily.

Seizing this small opportunity, Cecelia pushed the man away with all her might and simultaneously kicked him as she got up.

She coughed badly.

Her throat hud terribly but there was no time to dwell on it. The man lunged at her again just as she began to regain her bearings.

Unable to turn on the lights in time, Cecelia had to fight in the darkness, relying solely on her instincts.

She sensed that her opponent was highly skilled, and she had no choice but to fight with all her might.

In the darkness, she managed to land a solid kick, causing the man to tumble away. Cecelia picked up the bedside lamp and furled it at him.

Crash…

The lamp shattered, but the shadow managed to evade it.

The crashing sound woke up her daughter, who couldn’t see her mommy and began to cry out of fear.

As her daughter cried in the darkness, Cecelia saw the man rushing towards her daughter. In a desperate act, she threw herself over to protect her.

As Cecelia held her daughter, the man grabbed her ankle, trying to pull her down. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Luckily, the door was pushed open, and Remington appeared just in time.

He was awakened by the gunshot, and upon coming out, he heard. movement from Cecelia’s room, so he rushed over to see what was happening.

Upon pushing the door open, he saw a black figure dragging Cecelia, Remington’s heart sk ipped a beat, and he stormed into the room, kicking towards the man.

The two struggled in the room for a moment. Remington kicked Fujino out of the glass wall, shattering the glass.

Realizing he wasn’t a match for Remington, Fujino couldn’t succeed and had to abandon his target. He quickly dashed to the balcony and jumped down.

Remington followed him out onto the balcony and saw that the shadow had already escaped. The bedroom was on the second floor. Remington followed the nearby drainage pipe and slid down swiftly, chasing after the escaping figure. “Bang, bang…” Gunshots echoed in the night. By the time Remington reached the main gate of Bluebell Mansion, the guards were already down, lying. on the ground.

The gate was open, and the shadow had long fled, disappearing into the dark night.

Cecelia and her child were still upstairs, and Remington was concerned that chasing after the intruder might lead him away from the house.

Other guards and security personnel rushed to the scene upon hearing the gunshots. Remington had them handle the situation, investigate the surveillance footage, and track down the suspicious person.

Though it was unknown who had broken into the mansion that night, it was highly likely that he was after Cecelia.

After instructing everyone to guard the mansion, Remington contacted Winger and asked for backup. He then quickly ran back to the mansion.Upon returning to the second-floor bedroom, the lights were already on. Cecelia was holding her daughter on the bed, comforting her.

“It’s okay, dear. Mommy has already chased the bad person away. Don’t be afraid…”

Tears streamed down Doris’ little face, and she trembled as she nestled in her mother’s embrace.

“Cece! Are you okay? Is everything alright with you and Doris?”

Remington walked in, surveying the chaotic scene on the ground, and quickly approached to inquire.

“We’re fine. It’s just that Doris was scared.”

Cecelia shook her head, indicating she was okay.

Remington noticed the red marks on her neck where she had been choked. He reached out and touched them, a surge of anger filling his heart. “Who was it? Did you see what he looked like?”

“No, I didn’t see clearly. I was awakened by the gunshot and opened. my eyes to see a dark figure. He choked me, and everything. happened so quickly…”

“I’m sorry. I was by your side, yet I couldn’t protect you and Doris. I’m so sorry…”

Remington hugged both her and their daughter, a burning rage brewing within him. He wanted nothing more than to tear the audacious intruder to pieces. “Don’t blame yourself. It’s all because the intruder was so despicable! He actually infiltrated the mansion at night. If you hadn’t arrived on time, I can’t even imagine what might have happened today.”

Thinking about how the intruder had targeted her daughter and how she had tried to shield her while getting caught herself, Cecelia shivered. If Remington hadn’t arrived promptly, who knows what the intruder might have done? She could hardly fathom it.

“He’s agile and carries weapons on him. Clearly, he’s no ordinary thief. It’s highly likely he’s a skilled assassin!”

“That’s right. I fought with him, and I could sense that his skills are extraordinary.”

“It’s not safe here anymore. When Winger and the others arrive, both you and Doris should come with me to the Nelson Residence.”

“Okay.”

Cecelia didn’t dare to let herself and her daughter live outside separately. If the outside world discovered the secret scripture was on her, it was very likely that different groups would want to target her.

For now, staying at the Nelson Residence was the only option!

Handing her daughter to Remington, Cecelia packed her luggage with the essentials.

She wasn’t worried about someone coming here looking for the secret scripture. She hadn’t kept it in Bluebell Mansion.

Night enveloped everything.

The wind howled in their ears.

Two shadowy figures were engaged in a frantic chase through the darkness.

After Fujino’s unsuccessful attempt, he fled from Bluebell Mansion. after injúring a guard. Adam, who had been lurking outside the mansión, spotted him and began chasing him recklessly.

No one knew that the gunshot from earlier had been fired by Adam, as a warning for his sister and Remington.

Seeing Remington chasing after Fujino, Adam guessed that Remington hadn’t been defeated. He concluded that his sister should be safe.

Thinking that it was the mansion’s personnel pursuing him, Fujino continued to flee until he reached where he had hidden his vehicle. He got into the car and sped away.

Adam followed closely. By the time he caught up, the car had traveled a distance. Adam ran faster and jumped onto the car’s roof, going along for the ride.

Feeling someone on the roof, Fujino continuously swerved, attempting to shake the person off.

Due to the vehicle’s intense swerving, Adam nearly got thrown off a few times.

However, Adam clung onto the car’s roof tightly, refusing to let go. He couldn’t allow Fujino to continue.

The consequences of letting Fujino go would be that Fujino might target his sister at any moment!

Adam wouldn’t permit anyone to harm his sister!

Tonight, he must eliminate Fujino.

It’s either Fujino or himself!
