The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna) novel Chapter 1272

"Don't f*cking talk so much nonsense!" Bruce fiercely wrapped his arms around her neck and lifted her up in front of him like he was lifting a chick. If not for his desire to use her to save his daughter, he would have tried to strangle her to death. "Put the guns down!"

"All of you, back off! Back off!" A group of mercenaries wearing masks and bulletproof vests hesitated momentarily before placing their guns on the ground.

"Come with me." Miya was almost overthrown as Bruce, one hand tearing off the wire mesh from himself and the other dragging Miya, walked towards a nearby car.

Miya kidnapped Felicity. She must know where her daughter was hidden.

Crack! Bruce held Miya hostage and opened the SUV door.

Effortlessly, he removed a handcuff from his belt at the small of his back and tossed it to Miya. "Cuff yourself."

Miya looked at Bruce flirtatiously. "Mr. Everett, you used to be a gentleman. Why are you so rough now..."

"Pa--" A crisp sound was heard as Bruce gave her a tight slap, causing her to fall back into her seat.

"If you say another word of nonsense, I'll cut off any rocks for you," he warned.

Miya's heart raced as she touched her face, not daring to provoke him further. She reluctantly picked up the handcuffs and restrained herself.

Bruce revved the engine, then immediately stepped on the gas pedal, driving in the same direction as he had come earlier.

He needed to hurry and meet up with Darcy and the others to avoid them encountering the group of mercenaries.

Moreover, he had been injected with a powerful anesthetic needle. The dosage of the anesthetic was too strong. Although not enough to knock him over, his limbs started becoming numb. When the drug completely took effect, he might lose consciousness.

"Bruce, where are you taking me?" Miya asked.

"Shut up!" Bruce's voice carried a hint of menace.

Miya's eyes darted around, and she had no choice but to pretend to be compliant.

The car drove for about 20 minutes.

Bruce started feeling the effects of the drug, and his eyelids began to droop. His neck, too, seemed to lose strength, causing him to sway in a daze.

Seeing an opportunity, Miya quickly opened her arms and used the handcuffs to encircle Bruce's neck, attempting to subdue him.

"Ugh!" Bruce's neck was constricted, and he could only use one hand to try and push Miya away. Unfortunately, the anesthetic in his body was taking its toll, and he felt increasingly dizzyy.

"Phew..."

The car veered off course, its wheels losing control as it headed towards a deep ditch on the side of the road.
