Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband

Chapter 1500: My Love Has Never Stopped for a Moment

What?

Celeste was already ashen-faced. She knew Ethan Barnes was an extremely dangerous man, but she never expected him to play such an enormous game.

Everything was fake, even the last straw in her hands was fake, Celeste was starting to doubt her life.

"Celeste Linden, does it not hurt you at all that he’s using you like this?" Celeste asked skeptically.

Ethan also looked at Celeste Linden. She was truly astute, from the moment he appeared, she should have guessed his entire plan, except for the fact he hadn’t touched those women.

Now that his plan was exposed, she knew he was using her, yet she seemed not a bit sad or upset.

Celeste Linden curled her lips into a smile, coldly gazing at Ethan, "I never thought such a devil could understand love; he doesn’t understand love and is not deserving of love."

Ethan’s handsome face instantly cooled down; how daring of her, not only is she not sad but dares to insult him, she must be tired of living.

"Hahaha." Celeste suddenly burst into laughter.

Ethan frowned, "What are you laughing at?"

Celeste said nothing, just tightened her grip on the knife handle, pressing the sharp tip firmly against Celeste Linden’s neck, "King Hayden, I’ll say it one last time. Let me leave safely now, or else I’ll kill Celeste Linden before I go, so that I won’t be alone in hell."

Celeste applied pressure, immediately cutting a blood mark on Celeste Linden’s neck.

Ethan’s heart stirred, his dangerous narrowed eyes locked onto the blood mark on Celeste Linden’s neck. Soon, he lifted his thin lips, cold and indifferent, "If you want to kill her, go ahead. Let’s see if I’ll blink; I lose if I blink."

He simply did not care about Celeste Linden’s life or death.

"You!" Celeste gritted her teeth, "Celeste Linden, you saw it. If you die, don’t blame me, blame Ethan Barnes. It’s he who refuses to save you; your life is worthless to him!"

With that, Celeste lifted her hand, aiming to plunge the sharp knife into Celeste Linden’s heart.

The sharp blade gleamed coldly, Celeste Linden thought, is her fate to end here?

The journey was exceptionally rough and twisted; she never surrendered to fate, yet she still couldn’t escape her destiny.

She was going to die here.

As the knife was about to fall, at the critical moment, someone suddenly rushed over, pushing Celeste away.

Celeste fell to the ground unexpectedly, and Celeste Linden staggered two steps forward, the crisis immediately resolved. The person was... Dominic Reynolds.

It was actually Celeste Linden’s ex-husband, Dominic Reynolds.

Dominic nervously grabbed Celeste Linden’s cold hand, "Celeste, are you alright, are you hurt?"

Celeste Linden was shocked; she never expected Dominic would come to save her, "Dominic, why are you here? I remember you left with your parents to start a new life."

"This is a long story; I wanted to leave, but I couldn’t put you aside, especially after learning you were taken by Ethan, this devil. I’ve been nearby, keeping an eye on you."

As Ethan and Celeste Linden were exchanging heartfelt words, the fallen Celeste’s face hardened. Holding the sharp knife, she stood up and stabbed towards Celeste Linden again.

At this moment, a big hand reached out, grabbed the knife hovering in mid-air.

The sound of the blade cutting into flesh was particularly chilling; Celeste looked up to see it was Ethan.

Ethan grabbed hold of the knife aimed at Celeste Linden.

Ha.

Ha ha.

Celeste suddenly laughed, looking at Ethan, muttering, "King Hayden, you must carry out your coldness and ruthlessness to the end; don’t really fall in love with anyone, I fear you’ll be doomed forever."

Ethan’s face was expressionless as he drew the gun from his waist with his other hand, directly ending Celeste’s life.

Celeste fell to the ground, dying without closing her eyes.

Ethan’s subordinates swiftly controlled the scene, this battle was won with ease.

"King Hayden, your hand is injured." Now the trusted aide came to inspect Ethan’s wound.

Ethan looked at Celeste Linden, who was now being protected by Dominic behind him. Dominic eyed him with hostility and guardedness, "King Hayden, Celeste is just a pawn for you. Now that this pawn has fulfilled her mission and has no value, may I ask if you will let her go?"

Earlier, Celeste Linden did not see Ethan grab the knife bare-handed for her; she hated and feared this devil even more. He had been using her; her life meant nothing to him.

"King Hayden, you’ve achieved your goals, please let me go. I promise to disappear far away, never to appear before you again." Celeste Linden said.

She said she would vanish.

She said she would never appear before him again.

The trusted aides felt their master’s face instantly grew cold; actually, they had a clear view from the side earlier, at the moment Celeste was about to raise the knife, their master had already reached for the gun at his waist.

The master’s marksmanship is extraordinary, Celeste’s knife would not be faster than his.

Earlier, the master pretended not to care about Celeste Linden’s life, wanting to lull Celeste; he never abandoned Celeste Linden’s life.

But Dominic charged out, thinking he had staged a heroic rescue, but his actions were too foolish. If it weren’t for him, their master wouldn’t have had to grab the knife bare-handed.

Ethan lightly pursed his thin lips, hiding his injured, bleeding left hand behind him. A man with such strong self-esteem naturally doesn’t want Celeste Linden to see, "You want me to let you go, consummate your relationship, reunite happily?"

Celeste Linden wanted to speak, but Dominic held her hand then, interlacing his fingers with hers.

"Yes, King Hayden, I still love Celeste; my love for her never ceased for a moment."

Love?

Ethan sneered, "What does your love have to do with me? I’m not Cupid. My pawn, even if used, won’t be casually given to others."

Saying this, he refused to let Celeste Linden go.

"Ethan, what will it take for you to let me go?" Celeste Linden asked, her eyes red with anger.

Dominic said, "King Hayden, as long as you’re willing to let Celeste go, I’m willing to do anything. You want me to kneel and beg you? I’ll kneel right now."

Thud.

Dominic directly knelt on the ground, kneeling in front of Ethan.

Celeste Linden’s pupils constricted; she immediately reached out to pull Dominic, "Dominic, get up, don’t kneel to him. He doesn’t deserve it, because even if you kneel, he won’t let me go!"

Ethan revealed a cold smile, him being that kind of person?

In her eyes, what kind of person was he?
