Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 1486: She Bit Him Until He Bled

This is quite a dangerous signal.

If Celeste Linden really ant to kill him just now, he’d be dead by now. The feeling of putting one’s life in soone else’s hands is truly awful.

Moreover, she even dared to pull a gun on him earlier.

It seems she hates him and has been harboring that hatred all along.

Ethan Barnes sneered coldly and left the place.

...

Ethan Barnes hasn’t sought out Celeste Linden again; these nights he’s been entertaining several beauties.

On this Mid-Autumn Festival, a thick gift box was delivered, ant for Celeste Linden.

Celeste Linden had been in contact with Willow Crawford these past months. She knew it was from Willow and ant a lot to her.

Unfortunately, the gift box was seized and ended up in the hands of Jolan.

Jolan, having been favored the most recently, gained high status here, and so she got a hold of Celeste Linden’s gift box.

For the first ti, Celeste Linden left the cold palace and returned here. She looked at Jolan coldly and said, "Give back my stuff!"

Surrounded by several beauties and feeling on top of the world, Jolan played with the exquisite gift box in her hands and haughtily said, "Miss Linden, do you want this gift box? But I’m sorry, since I got this gift box, it’s mine. I’m not giving it back. What can you do to ?"

Celeste Linden’s expression turned icy. She approached Jolan, reached out her hand, "I’ll say it one more ti, give back my stuff!"

Celeste Linden had always been gentle and quiet, rarely seen angry. Now, her anger had a substantial deterrent effect.

But Jolan laughed, "Miss Linden, do you not understand the situation? I am now King Hayden’s favored concubine. How do you, a disfigured cold palace outcast, compete with ? If I say a broken box is mine, then it’s mine!"

Celeste Linden said nothing more. She quickly reached out and snatched the box from Jolan’s hands.

Jolan didn’t expect Celeste Linden to make a move. She reacted quickly, scratching with her long nails at Celeste Linden’s neck.

Celeste Linden’s neck was imdiately scratched with blood marks, but she wasn’t one to be trifled with. She promptly grabbed Jolan’s long hair and they both rolled onto the floor, fighting.

Even though palace intrigue was common, it was the first ti such a fight broke out. The beauties watching were stunned and imdiately said, "Stop fighting!"

"Soone co, hurry, Celeste Linden has gone crazy. Seize her and throw her out!"

They wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Celeste Linden completely.

Amidst the chaos, a deep, displeased voice sounded near their ears, "What are you doing here?"

Ethan Barnes had returned.

Today, Ethan Barnes wore all black, with black boots on the red carpet, his commanding presence akin to that of a king.

The beauties quickly pointed to Celeste Linden, "King Hayden, look, she’s causing trouble. She actually ca over and beat Miss Jolan!"

Ethan Barnes saw Celeste Linden, whom he hadn’t seen in a long ti. The red marks on her face hadn’t disappeared, and now there were new wounds; her hair was disheveled. She really was... a ss.

But Celeste Linden, sitting on Jolan, firmly kept the domineering Jolan beneath her. Her fierce deanor made her eyes sparkle with an unwarranted allure.

At this point, the steward stepped forward and separated the two, and Jolan let out a loud wail as she directly fell into Ethan Barnes’ embrace, "King Hayden, you must take my side. Everyone saw her hit without a word. She injured so much here, here, and here. King Hayden, look~"

Jolan coquettishly whined.

Celeste Linden quickly picked up the gift box on the ground and held the item Willow gave her protectively in her arms. She looked up at Ethan Barnes.

Ethan Barnes wrapped an arm around Jolan, patting her shoulder, "Alright, it’s fine now. I’ll stand up for you."

"Thank you, King Hayden. Celeste Linden must have gone mad after being out of favor for so long. King Hayden, I’m so scared~" Jolan snuggled into Ethan Barnes’ embrace.

Ethan Barnes looked down at the disheveled Celeste Linden. He had never noticed before she had the guts to fight physically.

He didn’t expect her to engage in a catfight.

"Celeste Linden, you really have no sense of discipline. What do you think this place is, a market?" Ethan Barnes scolded displeasedly.

Celeste Linden, "She took my stuff!"

"King Hayden, it’s just a box. I think it’s exquisite, so I want it. King Hayden, why don’t you give that box to ?" Jolan still wanted the box.

Ethan Barnes glanced at the box in Celeste Linden’s arms, "Who gave it to you?"

Celeste Linden spoke the truth, "Willow gave it to . I plan to show it to my brother. If the box is taken by soone else, I’m sure it will also bring trouble to you."

When it involved Willow Crawford and Morgan Ashworth’s items, Ethan Barnes indeed didn’t want to ss with them. But he smiled faintly, "Celeste Linden, I’ll give you two choices now. First, give the box to Jolan. Second, apologize to Jolan, tell her you’re sorry!"

Celeste Linden had no intention of apologizing to Jolan. She knew Ethan Barnes was humiliating her pride and dignity, fully aware of how important the box was to her.

Celeste Linden’s eyes glared roundly, fiercely looking at Ethan Barnes.

Ethan Barnes, seeing her angry look, was inexplicably in a good mood, "Celeste Linden, you can make your choice now."

Celeste Linden didn’t hesitate. She walked up to Jolan, lowered her head, "Miss Jolan, I’m sorry. I apologize for hitting you. I hope you can forgive ."

Jolan felt overjoyed inside, "King Hayden, my wounds still hurt so much now."

"Alright, alright, tonight I’ll co to your room and help heal your injuries. I guarantee the dicine will work wonders." Ethan Barnes gave a charmingly wicked smile.

Jolan was imdiately amused, "Really? Then King Hayden, you must co tonight."

Celeste Linden felt sick seeing the two of them. She turned on her heel and wanted to go back to her cold palace.

"Celeste Linden, did I allow you to leave? Halt right there!" Ethan Barnes pushed Jolan aside and reached to grab Celeste Linden.

Celeste Linden opened her mouth and bit down on Ethan Barnes’s arm.

Hiss.

Ethan Barnes instantly winced in pain. She used a lot of force, seemingly wanting to bite out his flesh.

Celeste Linden let go of him and turned to run away.

"King Hayden, are you alright? Celeste Linden has beco too bold!"

"Oh dear, King Hayden, your arm is bleeding. Celeste Linden bit you and drew blood."

Blood seeped through his clothes. She truly had bitten him to the point of bleeding.

Ethan Barnes watched her disappearing direction, his tongue brushing over his dry lips. Initially, he thought of letting her be, but she crashed right into his line of fire.

He had abstained for a while, but a man brimming with vigor had normal needs.
