Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee
Chapter 805

“Miss Rayne, how may I assist you?”

“Get to Central Square immediately. Find Fiona and take her back home.” Lois’ relationship with Leonhad recently improved, and she wasn’t about to Let any mishap jeopardize that.

From the earlier incident, she sensed that Leon hadn’t entirely forgotten Fiona; rather, Fiona’s miseryhad evoked his compassion.

Meanwhile, Millie emerged from an alleyway and stepped into a bookstore.

She purchased a book on modern jewelry design, and as she was leaving, a sudden screech of brakesfilled the air, followed by a thud. A woman had been struck by a car.

Shaken, Millie looked over and felt a chill run through her. It was Fiona who had been hit while crossingthe road.

The driver, equally startled, stumbled out of the car, his body quaking. “Are you okay?” he stammered.

Fiona coughed, her hand covering her mouth, and quickly scrambled to gather the money scatteredaround her. Glancing back, she saw two men eyeing her. Acting quickly, she pushed past a womanwho was about to enter a nearby taxi and jumped in herself, urging the driver to speed off.

As the taxi sped away, the onlookers remained at the scene, murmuring among themselves.

“Is she all right? I saw the car hit her.” Their voices were tinged with concern and disbelief.

“Yes, I saw it too. Why didn’t she demand compensation from the driver but just ran away? Issomething amiss with her?”

The driver responsible for the accident scratched the back of his head, clearly puzzled.

Upon arriving at the scene where Fiona was struck, Lois took Leon’s hand and reassured him.

“Don’t worry. She’s fine. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to run away.” Leon’s brow furrowed ashe spotted blood on the ground.

Lois caught the eye of two men standing across the street, giving them a knowing wink. They seemedto understand and promptly left.

A gut feeling told Millie that something had gone terribly wrong with Fiona, so she threw caution to thewind, crossed the road, and ran off in pursuit.

Glancing around with alert eyes, Millie noticed two unfamiliar men departing together among the crowd.Was Fiona frightened of those men?

They had already disfigured her. Did they now want to kill her too? Determined to uncover the truth,Millie hailed a taxi and headed back to her hotel.

“Let me drive you home,” Leon offered, pulling his gaze away from the bloodstained pavement to lookat Lois.

“Sure. Thanks, Leon.”

Once Leon had dropped Lois off at the Raynes’ residence, he returned to his car, his mind awash withconcern

He didn’t start the engine right away. Instead, he dialed Fiona’s number, only to be met with adisconnect. When he tried calling again, her phone was turned off.
