Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband

His demeanor was icy and indifferent; not only did he not respond to her, but there was no physical response either.

This feeling was a bit unpleasant for Carlotta; after all, no one likes being with a block of wood.

Ethan Barnes looked at Carlotta, his lips curled in mockery, "If I had feelings for you, we would have been together already these past three years. Do you really not know by now that I feel nothing for you?"

"You!"

"I’ve done everything you wanted, but if it hasn’t worked out, it just proves your lack of charm."

"..."

Carlotta had wanted to use this opportunity to be with Ethan Barnes in front of Celeste Linden. She intended to kill two birds with one stone, but she forgot that Ethan felt nothing for her, leaving her humiliated and furious.

Carlotta quickly stood up, coldly staring at Ethan, her eyes suddenly glinting with malice, "Ethan, since you can’t be with me, then you shouldn’t be with Celeste Linden either. I’ll make sure you become a true cripple!"

Saying so, Carlotta pulled out a knife, its sharp blade gleaming coldly.

Celeste Linden’s pupils shrank; she looked at Carlotta in horror, "Carlotta, what are you planning to do?"

"Haha, can’t you tell what I’m planning? If I can’t have him, then no woman should get him. I’m going to cripple him now!" Carlotta laughed maniacally.

Celeste Linden thought Carlotta had truly gone mad, wanting to cripple Ethan Barnes.

Ethan Barnes, watching Carlotta’s crazed demeanor, didn’t change his expression. He shifted his gaze to Celeste’s frightened little face, and his lips slowly curled, "What, worried about me?"

Celeste Linden moved on the ground, trying to break free from the rope, "Ethan, she’s going to cripple you."

"Yeah, I know."

"Then stop her quickly; she seems truly insane."

"It doesn’t matter, since you don’t like me anyway. Whether I become a cripple or not is irrelevant," Ethan said defiantly.

Celeste Linden, "..."

"But Celeste, one thing is certain: if I do become a cripple, I definitely won’t give Danielle to you, because Danielle is the only flesh and blood of me and the Barnes family. I want custody and guardianship of Danielle."

So now he’s vying with her for Danielle?

Carlotta, enraged and humiliated, shouted, "Are you treating me like I’m dead while chatting here? Am I invisible?"

Carlotta was truly furious. They were discussing the daughter’s custody right in front of her without noticing the knife in her hand?

This is indeed a knife.

Celeste Linden glared at Ethan angrily, "You better worry about yourself. If this knife goes down, you won’t just be crippled, you could die."

Ethan Barnes smirked, "Well, if I do survive, you and Danielle are both mine."

Celeste Linden, "..."

Burning with rage, Carlotta still felt overlooked, right? She brandished the knife and approached Ethan, her face twisted as she said, "Ethan, you’ve gone too far. I’m crippling you now!"

She stabbed down with the knife.

Stab.

Celeste Linden heard the sickening sound of the sharp knife piercing flesh, and she looked up to see Carlotta’s knife deeply embedded.

A large patch of blood slowly soaked Ethan’s black pants.

Drip drip.

Blood even dripped onto the floor.

Celeste Linden gasped, feeling as though she couldn’t breathe; Carlotta dared to truly use deadly force!
