Love Contract novel Chapter 230

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!
