The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride

Chapter 408 The Only Light



Randall felt embarrassed. At his age, still being scared and hiding behind Patrick was something he didn't want to admit. So, he stayed put.

Patrick didn't push him. If Randall couldn't handle it, he'd come over eventually.

Inside, Dylan and Joe were freaking out, running around like headless chickens.

They had no clue where they were going.

Soon, they stumbled into another room with a different horror theme.

The wind changed as soon as they entered.

Fog filled the room, and suddenly, a skeleton appeared, followed by a pale girl in a school uniform. They screamed and bolted.

The "ghost," who hadn't even started her act, stood in the fog, wearing a blood-stained uniform. She muttered, "I haven't even started scaring you yet."

Austin said, "Chase them, this theme is about a school."

So, the girl in the uniform started chasing Dylan and Joe.

Her leather shoes echoed in the silent room. "Come out, I see you. Come out, it's fun here, come play with me."

Dylan and Joe ran like mad and stumbled into what seemed like a safe room. They slammed the door shut, but soon there was a knocking sound, each knock like a hammer to their hearts. With every knock, their legs grew weaker until they collapsed.

They forgot they were pretending to be crazy and had no time to act.

The knocking continued, and they didn't dare open the door.

But the room itself was even scarier.

It was full of old, bloody dolls, and one could even walk on its own!

Then a voice, deliberately added in post-production, echoed through the room. It spoke in a babyish tone, delivering a chilling, eerie laugh. "You're here, finally here. Are you here to keep me company?"

Hearing that voice, Dylan and Joe froze in place, their eyes wide with terror, unable to move.

Earlier fears had made them instinctively flee, but this dollhouse, this twisted nursery, made their legs tremble. They looked down and saw a puddle of urine on the floor-they had been so scared, they wet their pants. Then, the baby's voice turned into a scream, echoing in their ears.

All the dolls in the room turned to look at them.

Dylan couldn't hold it in and stammered, "I'm sorry, don't come after us. It wasn't us. It has nothing to do with us. I didn't mean to harm you."

Patrick shifted in his seat, frowning as he watched the monitor.

Joe knelt on the ground. "Don't come after me. I didn't mean to harm you. It wasn't me. Don't come over, we've already been punished."

Randall also frowned, thinking, 'What is going on?'

At that moment, the knocking stopped.

Dylan and Joe got up from the floor, relieved to be free from the terror of the room filled with creepy baby dolls.

They'd rather be anywhere else.

But as soon as they opened the door, they saw the girl in the school uniform standing there with a creepy smile. The light from under her chin made her look eerie. Floating in the air, an ominous ghost drifted towards them. Dylan and Joe felt like they were about to faint.

Austin appeared, floating like a real ghost from hell. His voice turned eerie. "I heard you guys are crazies. I love playing with crazies."

Then, various creatures started crawling, walking mechanically, and bouncing down the hallway toward the room.

There were baby cries behind them and a group of terrifying creatures in front.

Dylan couldn't hold it in any longer and knelt, crying, "I'm not crazy!"

Joe glanced at Austin and collapsed, shouting, "Help, help!"

When Randall was about to call someone to carry Dylan and Joe out, Patrick stopped him. "Now's the time, let Austin ask who they were apologizing to earlier." Randall nodded and sent a message to Austin.

In the workspace, someone saw the message on Austin's phone and relayed it through the walkie-talkie.

Austin extended his arm, blood dripping from his nails, and asked in a gloomy voice, "Who is the child you caused to die?"

The female ghost stepped closer, and the baby's crying and laughter started again in the room.

Unbeknownst to them, the first ghostly girl on the floor had crawled up to Joe and, seizing a moment of inattention, thrust her horrifying face right in front of him. Joe couldn't take it anymore and fainted.

Only Dylan was left in the room.

"It was my daughter's child."

Randall immediately lost his composure. The only daughter of Dylan who was married was Cindy!

Patrick also realized it might be related to Cindy's miscarriage.

The female ghost extended her hands and said in a sinister voice, "Lying means you have to stay with me."

Fearing for his life, Dylan confessed everything, "My daughter is Cindy. I didn't mean for any of this to happen."

Years ago, the Olteran family was shrouded in tragedy, enveloped in a dark and gloomy atmosphere. The only light in their lives was Cindy, who was struggling to hold the crumbling family together. That year, Cindy suddenly got pregnant.

Her pregnancy was like a splash of color on a black-and-white canvas for the Olteran family.

It was the first bit of good news they'd had in a long while. For once, the family's gloom seemed to lift.

Shawn had new hopes. Patrick visited Cindy a few times, and Vincent was more motivated and even got promoted!

The Olteran family was slowly improving and hanging together, against all odds.

But Dennis was determined to shatter their happiness. He wanted to ensure that the Olteran family would never again experience joy. His aim was to immerse them in perpetual sorrow.

He ordered Cindy's death, and at that time, Violet and Alexa were jealous of everything Cindy had. Their jealousy was a weapon for Dennis.

Violet and Alexa, under Dennis' instigation, attempted to kill Cindy.

They obeyed Dennis' orders, using Cindy's concern for Kevin to lure her back to the Wallace family. They told her, "Kevin's condition is critical. Come back and see him one last time," deceiving her into returning to the Wallace household. Little did Cindy know, her return meant imprisonment.

They locked her in the basement and tortured her in every way until she bled and passed out.

Dennis could have killed Cindy outright, but he preferred not to dirty his hands with blood. Instead, he decided to let her suffer and die naturally.

Eventually, the Olteran family, desperate to find Cindy, went to the Wallace family and pressured Kevin for her whereabouts.
