The Substitute Bride

Cassie was agitated and shouted out without a second thought. "I am dining with Cora. Really! You don't need to come."

"Cassie!" Cora called her name and glared at her with her eyes wide.

However, it was too late. Jordan had heard every word loud and clear.

"Cassie, where are you now? I'll come over," Jordan asked again.

Cassie regretted saying that; she didn't want to tell Jordan where she was. She mumbled something perfunctory and hung up.

When she hung up, Cora was about to ask if Jordan was coming or not and then her mobile phone rang.

Cora and Cassie looked at each other, and both thought, 'How unfortunate we are!'

The phone kept ringing persistently. Cora felt helpless and looked at the number. It was Jordan's.

Cora was upset and didn't want to answer the call, but she knew that if she didn't, then he would go directly to her home tomorrow. It would be more difficult to get rid of him then.

Besides, her money was in Jordan's pocket. She had no choice but to answer the call.

"Cora!" Cassie shook her head at Cora in a hurry, gesturing for Cora not to tell Jordan where she was.

Cora wore a bitter smile.

Cassie let Cora's hand go. These men were here for her, and she didn't want to get Cora involved.

"What are you going to do?" Cassie pretended to ask calmly but was frightened in her heart.

It was dark, and there were only a few dim lights, but it was enough for her to see the cold and frightening expressions on the men's faces.

"Shut up! Come with us!" the leader of the men yelled.

Cora pulled Cassie's arm and gave her a side glance asking, "Cassie, they...Do you know them?" Cora was so frightened that she was stuttering.

Cassie suddenly caught sight of Jordan out of the corner of her eye. He stopped a short distance behind her and took his phone out to make a call.

Cassie felt relieved and was glad that Jordan was clever enough to notice that something was wrong and call the police. All she had to do now was stall them until the police arrived.

"Hey, guys. You all look so handsome dressed in black. How about having a drink and some food with me? The food is very yummy here! Let's have some together!" Cassie suddenly said with an alluring smile.
