A Replacement Bride

Chapter 351

That night, the final blow was delivered to the Moran Family's doorstep. Carmine's people had come looking for them. Bang! Bang! Bang! The Morans were already down in the dumps, and Melise stormed over to the front door when she heard someone knocking. A few burly men invited themselves into the house after she opened the door.

She was shocked. "Who are you guys? How dare you just barge in like that! Get out!" she cried. However, the few men simply ignored her and headed directly to the living room. Both Mason and William turned and got to their feet when they heard the noise. William felt chills running down his spine when he saw their visitors. His insides began to tremble with fear.

Mason, on the other hand, hadn't realized anything about his son's strange behavior. "Who exactly are you guys? Who permitted you to come in? Get out! I'm going to call the cops otherwise!" he shouted while glaring at the people. The few men started laughing after that.

The leader of the group tilted his chin up with a nonchalant expression on his face. "I think your son knows who we are. Don't you?" The man glanced at William. One of his people added to his words, "That's right. And for your information, we didn't barge in. We're legally allowed here! You can call the police if you want. The police will only speed up the procedure of things!"

Mason had no idea what was going on, but he had an uneasy feeling as he turned to look at William. "What do they mean?" William's gaze darted all over the place, and his shaky voice revealed how uneasy he was. "I-I don't know. I don't know them…"

The leader laughed before exposing William. "That's not right of you, William. We shared the same table just a few days ago. How could you have forgotten us already?"

William flinched. "I…"

She was stunned to see how calm the other man was, and she no longer knew whether to take the phone from his hand. The man held his phone up for another ten seconds. Eventually, he tutted at her lack of action. "I can make the report if you guys don't want to do it. But are you guys sure about this? You guys will have to leave the
