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.

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…"
