Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee
Chapter 611

Leon glanced at the apricot forest and responded casually, “For no particular reason.”

In his memories, a girl from an apricot-filled town was someone he had sworn to protect. Now, apricottrees were in bloom before him, but this wasn’t the apricot town of his past, and there was no one hewished to safeguard. He had yet to replace any trace of Aisha.

Leon even questioned whether Aisha had been nothing more than a dream.

Leon’s assistant approached and delivered a report.

“Boss, there’s been no trace of the kidnapper who escaped the building explosion.

Behind the building, there’s a lake and a forest. My guess is that he fled in one of these directions. Wecombed the areas around the lake but found nothing. It’s likely he disappeared into the forest. Thereare wild animals in there. He might not survive.”

Hearing this, Lois felt a weight lift off her shoulders. As long as the kidnapper vanished, the truth wouldremain buried.

“Are those two kidnappers the same ones who caused trouble during the house-moving event?”

“Yes, They were quite audacious. They dared to abduct Miss Rayne. Do they think they can escapewith the ransom? Even if he flees to the ends of the earth, we’ll track him down, tear him apart, andfeed his remains to the dogs.”

Leon clenched his fist inside his suit pants. Thankfully, both Lois and Millie were unharmed.

Leon spoke icily. “Ensure that everything is resolved properly from now on. We can’t allow such anincident to recur.”

The assistant nodded, though he lingered for a moment. Leon’s gaze met his.

“Do you have something else to say?”

“Boss, you don’t appear to be in high spirits. Would you like to take a break at Dgend?”

Having worked for Leon for many years, the assistant was perceptive. His boss rarely visited theapricot forest. The place seemed like a forbidden zone for him. If he did venture here, it usuallyindicated complex emotions or extreme fatigue.

Dgend was their stronghold. Its might deterred anyone from attempting intrusion due to its formidablepower.

Leon’s brow furrowed. He hadn’t visited Dgend in a while!

Upon returning home, Marcus took a shower, changed into fresh clothes, and descended to the livingroom. As he walked, he instructed a passing servant to summon Bria.

When Bria arrived, Marcus stood at the center of the living room, his posture rigid and his silver suitlending him an air of cool detachment. Bria was so frightened that she immediately knelt down.

“Mr. Thomas.”

Marcus commanded, “I won’t say anything more. Take your belongings and leave. I will also fire yourson and daughter-in-law. Back then, you begged me to replace them jobs in the Thomas Group, but myinvestigation revealed that they were just loafing around. There’s no place for idlers in the ThomasGroup. Today is their last day working here.”

“No, I can leave. Please don’t fire them. They won’t replace jobs if they’re dismissed.”
