Chapter 454: Everyone Wants Her Dead
Elodie was stunned.
She had been so angry just now that she forgot to pretend to be disabled, which were now standing firmly on the ground, away from the wheelchair.
Elodie lifted her head, delivering another slap to Jason's other cheek, barked, "Jason, I'm warning you, if you dare tell Richard about this, you're doomed!"
Jason smiled, "Of course."
His calm demeanor left Elodie unsure of how to respond.
Jason had been with the Black Family for a long time.
As far as Elodie could remember, he had been with the Black Family even longer than Richard, having spent more time in their service.
Jason had always been a very steady and reserved person, respectful to everyone in the Black Family.
This was the first time she had seen another side of Jason, who appeared a bit mad and somewhat deranged.
Staring at Jason for too long made Elodie feel a bit scared.
Averting her gaze, she ordered, "You can leave now."
Lowering her hand, Jason smiled, "Ms. Black, Richard went after Nina. I guess their family of three will soon be reunited."
The phrase "family of three" stabbed Elodie deeply.
She clenched her fingers with an angry laugh, snarling through gritted teeth, "After tonight, there will be no more Nina in this world. Richard can go if he wants; consider it he sending Nina off for the last time."
After saying that, she laughed.
Jason lowered his eyes, then silently left.
Walking out of the villa area, Nina saw the car parked by the roadside.
It was the same car that Zaire had arranged to bring her here.
When Nina was waiting for Richard inside, the car had been waiting outside for her.
The driver was smart and had parked the car in a conspicuous spot so that Nina could see it as soon as she came out.
But the windows were tightly closed, with no driver in sight.
Nina walked closer and found the driver sitting inside, head down, seemingly playing with his phone.
As Nina opened the car door to get in, a knife was pressed against her throat.
In the back seat sat a masked man, with a bound and gagged man slumped beside him, the driver from before.
Nina's heart skipped a beat, lifting her gaze to the front with the realization that the driver had been replaced.
In the passenger seat, there was another masked man dressed similarly.
After the car doors were locked, the car slowly started.
The man holding the knife to Nina's neck spat viciously, "Nina, blame yourself for not knowing your place. Coming here to ruin Ms. Black's wedding, even if Ms. Black could tolerate you, we, the Black Family's subordinates, must avenge her!"
With that, the man applied more pressure with the knife, seemingly wanting to end Nina's life in one stroke.
"Wait!" It was the man in the passenger seat who spoke.
He exchanged a glance with the driver, saying to the man with the knife, "Kade Campbell, did Ms. Black send you?"
"No! I came on my own!" Kade replied righteously.
The two men in the front exchanged another glance, then the man in the passenger seat said, "This matter isn't that serious."
"How is it not serious? This woman came to ruin the wedding. You know how much Mr. Black values tomorrow's wedding. This woman dared to fake a pregnancy today; who knows if she won't cause a scene at the wedding tomorrow."
"Mr. Black has had a successful career, but his children have had their own misfortunes. Now that Ms. Black's legs are crippled, it's fortunate that Richard agreed to marry Ms. Black and take care of her for life."
"If this wedding doesn't happen, both Ms. Black and Mr. Black won't survive. As a subordinate of the Black Family, this is the least I can do for them." Kade spoke calmly, but Nina broke out in a cold sweat.
She realized that this man was here to kill her today seriously.
After Kade finished speaking, he asked the two men in the front, "I assume you came with the same intention. This is a great opportunity to earn merit."
"You don't need to do anything, and when Mr. Black asks, I won't hesitate to give you credit."
Saying that, Kade's eyes gleamed with excitement.
It was as if Nina's life was insignificant to him.
What mattered was the merit he could earn in the Black Family.
Nina couldn't understand this behavior, but with the knife pressed tightly against her neck, she didn't dare to move and could only listen.
From her judgment, the two men in the front didn't seem to be on the same side as Kade.
But they seemed to know each other.
As Nina was thinking, the driver adjusted the rearview mirror for meeting Nina's eyes.
In that brief moment, Nina sensed the hostility in his eyes.
With that, she was almost certain that the two men in the front were enemies who want her dead.
As soon as she got here, several groups of people wanted her dead.
Nina just didn't know if any of these people were sent by Richard.
Thinking of this, Nina's heart ached uncontrollably.
The man in the front handed over a handkerchief, and the man in the back took it to cover Nina's mouth and nose without hesitation.
A pungent smell rushed into Nina's nose, making she felt her head buzz and started to feel dizzy, her body going limp.
In her last moments of consciousness, she vaguely heard the man in the front say.
"Mr. Mille's orders are not to cause any deaths."
So, Richard had indeed sent someone.
Nina didn't have time to feel sad before she blacked out completely.
She didn't know how much time had passed.
Cold water splashed on Nina's face, pulling her consciousness back from the darkness.
She opened her eyes suddenly, finding herself still in the car.
The car door was open, and one man was controlling her while the other two stood outside.
It was pitch dark around them; they had driven the car to a large, overgrown field.
Nina's lips trembled as she asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"
The three men turned to look at Nina but said nothing.
The man standing by the car door took out a box of pills from his pocket then opened it in front of Nina.
After opening the pills, he walked over to Nina, saying, "Take these two pills, then we'll let you go."
Nina's pupils contracted, "What are these pills?"
"They won't take your life. Nina, I advise you to comply. Otherwise, it won't end well for you." The man threatened.
Nina struggled, her arms hurting from being restrained, "I won't take them."
"Fuck!" Kade cursed, grabbing Nina's hair and forcing her to look up.
He shouted to the other two, "What are you waiting for? Force her to take the pills!"
