Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap
Chapter 555 There Seemed to Be Someone Else

Before he almost succeeded, suddenly, he widened his eyes and gaped at Theresa in disbelief. "You..."

Theresa was holding a candlestick. She just stabbed the sharp needle for a candle into the back of his neck.

"Bitch! How dare you to hurt me!" John pinched Theresa's neck fiercely and increased his strength, trying to strangle her.

Theresa almost couldn't breathe. However, she didn't give up. She couldn't die. She wanted to survive and maintain her purity. Gripping the candlestick tightly, she kept stabbing it on him using all her strength, one after another.

"Ouch!" John let out a roar in pain. The two men outside exchanged their glances, clicking their tongues.

They misunderstood that John had been too crazy, so they didn't take it seriously.

However, John had been rolling on the floor in pain. Theresa had two stabs on the main artery of his neck, and blood kept flowing out from the wounds. He thought that he was dying, howling on the ground. Theresa stood up calmly. Picking up the bench next to her, she smashed them on John's head several times. John blacked out, lying on the ground motionlessly.

The two men outside the room sensed something wrong, but they dared not to rush in, afraid that they would interrupt John and would be scolded by him. Standing at the door, one of them asked, "Mr. Kinney?"

Theresa wrapped her clothes. After being in a panic for two seconds, she shouted, "Shut the fuck up! Don't disturb us! Fuck off!"

The two men were startled. Clicking their tongues, they said, "Jesus. They seem to have fun. She's such a slut!"

Theresa stared at the door nervously. Upon hearing their footsteps going afar, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Leaning against the wall, she covered her chest and gasped. Her heart hammered like a spring without frequency. Right at this moment, she felt so helpless. She shed tears in a panic.

Soon, she realized that it wasn't time for her to weep yet. She must take the chance to escape.

After been locked up here for two days, she knew that this room was planned as the storage room, so there was no window at all. There was only an air vent on the roof. She moved the benches to the wall and put them one above the other. She carefully steppe on them and crawled out from the air vent. Since the height of the air vent was almost the same as the wall, she reached to the wall and escaped from the room without noticing anyone.

Then she slid down from the wall. There was still a distance between her feet and the wall. Since the wall was too high, she couldn't step on the ground at all, so she had to release her hand and hop down. Fortunately, it was wet mud under the wall. Her clothes were stained but she didn't hurt. Meanwhile, she heard the uproar from the yard. It seemed that her escape was found.

She couldn't think twice but there was only one idea in her mind -- to escape from her as soon as possible. Barefoot, she was running on the mountain without any roads, afraid that she would be taken back again. If that happened, she wouldn't have a second chance to escape at all.

She decided to try her best to run away. The pricking thorns pulled out blood marks on her lower legs.

Something also stabbed into her foot. She hissed but still keep on running without any stop.

Inside the temple, Boyce met his subordinate who was tracking John. They got to know that John had been to the storage room behind the temple. When they went to the backyard, they saw two men sitting at the door. Now they were sure that Theresa must be locked up here. Otherwise, there wouldn't be anyone watching the storage room.

Boyce and his two subordinates who tracked John successfully knocked down the two watchers.

Armand rushed into the room first. However, there was only a table in the room. In this messy and stinky room, there was no one. He frowned in disappointment.

Boyce and Matthew followed him in. Seeing that scene, they understood that someone used to stay in there. Soon, they were attracted by the inner room. Armand rushed over and reached out to push it open but failed. When John walked in earlier, he locked the door from the inside.

In silence, Armand raised his leg and kicked on the door. With a big bang, the two doors shook. However, the door wasn't opened. The two doors were locked from the inside with the iron lock, which wasn't like a single door that was so easy to be opened. Boyce walked over. They kicked the door together to open it.

What they had seen made them agape. John was lying on the ground naked, soaking in his blood. There were no big wounds on him. The blood flew out all the small stab wounds caused by the candlestick. However, Theresa had used all her strength, so the wounds were quite deep. While John was in a coma, the blood flew everywhere. Seemingly he was badly injured. The most serious wounds were the two on his neck.

Boyce didn't care if John was alive or dead. The key point was that he was naked. Obviously, he had come over to replace Theresa for doing something...

Boyce turned to look at Armand, only to replace the latter was trembling all over. The blue veins on his side face, as well as his neck, popped out as if his anger would explode at any time.

When he was about to calm Armand down, Armand picked up a bench next to the wooden table, rushed to John, and smashed it on him violently. They didn't hear any loud bang but the cracking sound of his bones.

Boyce walked up to stop him. He didn't pity John. Even if they would kill John, they shouldn't kill him in this way, which was way too easy for him. Besides, the most important to do right now was to replace Theresa.

Despite whether John had succeeded or if she wanted to die, they must replace her first. "Calm down, Armand. Theresa isn't here, so she must have escaped. Look. There are benches next to the wall. She must have escaped from the air vent. Now the most important is to replace her."

Armand's eyes became reddened. Without speaking, he turned around and rushed out.

Matthew took a glance into the room and withdrew his gaze, looking quite annoyed. He said to Boyce, "Call the police."

He also called Abbott, asking him to send a few media reporters to Nanshan Temple.

Boyce asked his two subordinates to call the police. Then they went to the back of the mountain, looking for Theresa.

The trees in the back mountain were tall and dense with a lot of wild grasses. There was no road at all. In summer, a lot of rattans grew to wrap around. It was quite hard to make a move.

Armand had been walking for a long distance. While walking, he was yelling and pulling away from the rattans that blocked his way.

The further he went into the wood, the darker it was. The thick leaves had completely blocked the sunlight.

"Theresa!" Armand yelled hoarsely. Wiping his face, he wiped off the tears on the corner of his eyes.

He kept walking and yelling. Suddenly, he saw broken-off grasses. He squatted down, only to replace fresh liquid on them. Obviously, the grasses were broken not long ago. He looked around carefully and found blood. He was certain that someone had passed through here.

After getting the clue, he followed the traces. After a long while, he didn't feel tired at all. All he wanted was to replace Theresa.

However, he still didn't replace her. He didn't give up. Along the traces, he kept searching. As long as there were clues, there was hope.

He looked back, only to replace that he had gone into the deep forest. The surroundings were all covered by dense trees and he couldn't see the sunlight at all. He shouted, "Theresa!"

His voice was echoing in the mountain, but he didn't hear any response.

No matter what, he wouldn't give up. He wanted to replace her as soon as possible. While he was walking, he felt the emptiness under his foot. Then he fell and slid down into a cave among rocks.

He let out a screen and soon his voice was covered.

The cave was way too deep.

The surface of the rocks was too slippery for him to grab something. He slid all the way to the bottom of the cave.

He felt pain all over his body. Dragging his body, he sat up, but he found that there seemed to be someone else.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
