Love Contract

Chapter 230 You Are Not Her (Part One)

Barry hurried to the set to meet with William. When he arrived, he found that both Victor and Lucas were there too.

"What happened?" Barry immediately asked as he opened the door and got off the car.

"She was kidnapped. I saw it on the surveillance video," Lucas responded in a grim, quiet voice. "William is already contacting his people to bring the necessary equipment there. We wanted to wait for the authorities to act, but unfortunately, we don't have any time. We have to go there ourselves."

"I understand."

At that moment, William appeared. "Let's go!" he authoritatively said.

The men then hurried to the car, all of them silent. William took the driver's seat and as soon as everyone was settled down, he cranked up the engine and took off at an immense speed.

It only took them half an hour to reach their destination.

"Damn it! What the hell is this place?" As soon as Lucas got off the car, he couldn't help but feel confused and frustrated as the place was basically flat and empty. "Do people think they could hide in here? "

Before anyone was able to answer Lucas' questions, a bodyguard had already approached William. "Mr. Lan," he greeted, his face serious. "We have searched most of the area but we haven't found anyone suspicious. We were just about to take a look in the ice rink when you arrived."

"No one?" Victor interjected, a frown forming on his face.

"Stop wasting time. Get in and look for anyone or anything useful," William emotionlessly ordered as he himself started towards the ice rink. Everyone followed him in, including Barry, who stayed close

behind him.

As they ventured into the area of the ice rink, they all noticed how eerily quiet it was. Though the place seemed empty, they still proceeded with utmost caution and vigilance in case something unexpected happened.

Surrounding the ice rink was clear glass, and so anyone who would decide to hide within it would be easily exposed to the people outside of it.

"Over there!" Lucas suddenly exclaimed. His sharp eyes immediately picked up something out of the ordinary in the distance. "Mary!" he bellowed as he pointed at something in the middle of the ice rink.

The moment the three other men snapped their heads towards the direction Lucas was pointing at, their eyes widened instantly.

In the middle of the ice rink stood Archer and Mary.

Archer was holding a bouquet of roses in one hand while his other one was firmly planted behind Mary's neck. The scene resembled an elegant prince straight out of Renaissance Europe kissing his dreamy princess in the middle of winter.

Barry was so consumed with anger that he mindlessly ran towards one of the glass panels and punched it as hard as he could. However, there was nothing he could do but watch what was happening in front of him. When did Archer become interested in Mary? "Fuck this!"

William cursed in a low voice as he, too, approached the glass panels and kicked one of them hard. "I'm going in!" he shouted angrily. "Fuck you, Archer Song! You will never get away with this!"

Despite the incredible commotion happening outside of the rink, the two people inside it didn't seem to notice.

Standing in the middle of the heart-shaped candles, Mary was at a loss by Archer's sudden kiss.

'What is this guy doing?' she thought, scandalized. 'Is he crazy? He needs to stop!' Mary was just about to raise her hand to push Archer away but it seemed like the man had already anticipated her move.

Before she was able to do anything, Archer let go of her and said, "You are not her!"

"Wh-what? What did you say, Archer?" Archer's words only made Mary more confused. "Why are you doing this? Who is this girl you're talking about?"

In the face of Mary's quick-fire questions, Archer decided to keep his mouth shut as he just unblinkingly stared at the woman in front of him. It was supposed to be Mary! He would never forget how she looked like.

"Aren't you going to say anything, Archer?" Mary asked impatiently. "You basically kidnapped me! You're literally scaring me to death! Explain yourself: why are you doing this?!"

"Mary!" Archer suddenly grabbed her shoulder and asked emotionally, "I'm sorry, but three years ago—summer, in New York—was it you? Answer me!"

"Three years ago?" Mary was confounded more than ever. With a frown, she said, "I just gave birth to my babies at that time. Why would I go out? Besides, I was nowhere near New York!"

"Are you serious?" Archer thought for a minute before speaking again. "But it's impossible! How can two women look so much alike! Tell me—do you have a sister?" Upon hearing this, Mary began to roughly understand what was going on. It seemed like Archer mistook her for someone else.

"I don't," Mary responded nonchalantly. "I'm the only child in my family. Yes, my relatives have kids, but none of them looks like me!"

"So you really are not her..." Archer murmured. No wonder he felt that something was not right when he saw Mary in GM two years ago. He thought it was because he didn't know Mary at that time, but now he realized that he had mistaken her for someone else!

"Archer? Are you okay?" Mary asked.

Bang!

A loud crashing noise caught the attention of Archer and Mary. They both looked around to see where it came from or what was happening, but they couldn't find anything out of place. Well, at least until they saw William charging towards them.

"William? You are here!"

Mary was surprised to see William there, but what shocked her more was the emotion in his eyes: unbridled rage.

William kicked the heart-shaped candles angrily as soon as he came upon them. He then stood in front of Mary and stood in a way that made it seem like he was protecting her from Archer. "What the fuck do you want from her, huh?! You bastard!"

Barry and the others came over and stood behind William and Mary, their gazes dangerous and scrutinizing.

Archer sighed disappointedly and murmured, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to take Mary away. There was a misunderstanding. It was just an accident.

"What accident?" William pointedly asked. "I'm sure you have ulterior motives!"

"It's all my fault. I've made a huge mistake," Archer explained, his tone sincere. "Mary, I am so, so sorry!"

"It's fine," replied Mary, as she peeked behind the tall William.

"What happened?" Barry asked.

"My God." Archer threw the roses on the ground. "My mind is in a mess now. I have to go out and be with myself..."

After saying that, he passed through the crowd and went out directly.

While walking, he took out his cell phone and said, "Help me investigate a person..."

"What's wrong with him?" Looking at his back, Lucas curled his lips.

"He's trapped in love!" Victor sighed and looked at Mary.

The other three also looked at her with jealousy in their eyes.

"Ha ha..." Mary waved her hands to deny. "He got the wrong person! Really!"

"Kidnapping and making romance!" William asked while gritting his teeth. "Is this guy crazy? He made us feel scared, but he just said he's mistaken Mary for someone else and then everything would be fine? No way!"

"Okay! All right!" Lucas tried to comfort him. "It's good that it was not a kidnap. It was not easy to find Mary. As long as she is safe and sound!"

"Yes, yes!" Mary nodded. "It's so cold here. Why don't you enjoy your conversation here? I'll go out to warm up..."

"Of course I'll go with you!" William clung to her as if he was begging for mercy.

Lucas glanced at him with disdain. How could William be like a dog, regardless of the dignity of a man? Was he still the cold faced and ruthless William Lan? In the future, he must find a gentle and virtuous wife who loved him as much as her life and respected him...

A good wife...

Lucas's heart still ached. Anyway, that person would not be Mary anymore. No matter whom Mary would be with in the future, the only thing he could do for her was to wish her happiness!

As they walked out, Mary felt uneasy.

When they were about to walk out of the ice rink, Mary stopped and looked at Barry. "I... I have something to talk to you, Barry."

Today was a good chance. It was time to have a face-to-face talk...

"Okay." Barry nodded. There was something that he couldn't stop...

"Okay." Mary turned to the other men and asked, "Can you go out for a while?" Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

"No, I can't," answered William, shaking his head.

"Then you can stay here. We'll go out," suggested Mary, turning to look at him.

"Well..." William was speechless. Then he said, "Five minutes, Mary. If you don't go out in five minutes, I'll come in!"
