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 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…"

immediately turned to glare at William. "What have you done this time?! Tell me!" he growled while stomping his feet. William didn't have the guts to explain himself, so he simply lowered his gaze to the floor. His muscles were tense, and he felt like his heart was at
