Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 407 Terrifying Moment

"Since it has nothing to do with us, we'd better find something else to do. I have a feeling this banquet will not end until midnight and it's only eight o'clock now. Besides, there are some people I really don't want to meet, Belle said with a smile as she sat lazily."

"Well, let's go. Lottie also stood up, but her eyes were darting around."

"Hey, since we're together, you can't go looking for a man. Belle reminded her."

I don't know what you're talking about. Lottie was still looking elsewhere. "Let's take a look at the boat over there."

"Several small boats were docked by the lake, and some people had already taken them for a spin. The two of them walked towards that direction."

Would you like to get on? Lottie asked as she took a look at the boats.

"Forget it. With you being so distracted, I'm afraid we might drown. Belle expressed her worries and thought of something else. """Is Rhys going to be here today?""""

"Lottie's face turned red instantly upon hearing Rhys's name. ""I really can't hide anything from you, can I? He will be here later. His flight has been delayed.""""

"Surely enough, the reason she was distracted was because of Rhys."

"Well, since Rhys is coming, I won't be third-wheeling. Go to him as soon as he arrives, Belle said."

"Lottie didn't refuse. At the moment, they stood by the lake and looked up at the sky."

They looked over as soon as they heard laughter coming from behind them.

"In an instant, Lottie said, "I'll go first. Wait for me here."" Then, she ran away like a gust of wind."

"There must be another wave of guests, including Rhys."

Belle gave a smile and shook her head as she watched Lottie leave.

"The neon lights made the surface of the lake in the distance glitter, but in front of her, the lake was like a black hole, giving off a mysterious aura."

"A cold evening breeze blew, lifting her heavy gown. In an instant, Belle was blown a few steps closer to the lake by the cold breeze."

Panic and terror engulfed Belle.

That was close! She thought.

She muffled a scream. She took a few steps back as her heart pounded fast. She couldn't move a muscle and the hair on the back of her neck stood stiff. Faint footsteps came from behind.

"Belle's ears perked up, and her heart thumped."

Who's there?

"She looked back, but it was only the sound of the wind blowing on the grass. There was no one in sight."

Looks like it'll be a while before Lottie comes back. I better leave. She thought.

This was horrifying.

Belle anxiously lifted the dress and was about to turn around.

"All of a sudden, she felt a pair of cold strong hands pushing her."

"Ah! She screamed as she fell forward. In desperation, she supported herself and landed on the grass."

"When she looked up again, the dark lake was only an inch away from her face."

Who is it? She bellowed as she tried to recover from the shock.

"The ghostly footsteps quickly disappeared, as if no one else had been there. She looked around with great strain."

"However, there was only grass as far as she could see."

"Belle looked as if she had lost her soul, and her face was as pale as a ghost."

Was someone trying to kill her? That was horrifying! She thought as goosebumps appeared on her skin.

Belle. A deep and warm male voice called out to her.

"The man was dressed in a dark green, military uniform, and looked handsome and heroic in the darkness. His shoulder badge shone like the light of dawn lighting up the darkness." "Ser- Sergio, Belle said softly as she came to her senses."

It was indeed an unusual banquet. Even Sergio came all the way from Capital City. "Did he see anything?" She thought.

"Sergio helped her up and explained, "I saw a figure lying here in the distance. It looked like you, so I came over."" He looked surprised but concerned."

"Even when Sergio tried to help her up, she was still firmly stuck to the grass. Belle lowered her head and realized that her high heels saved her."

"Fortunately, she had changed into them. If she was wearing the original pair, she would be found dead at the bottom of the lake."

"She was worried that she would fall, but little did she expect that it would save her life!"

"What's wrong? Are you not feeling well? How did you end up here? Sergio asked nervously, with a face full of concern."

"Belle stood up, but the paleness on her face did not diminish."

"You saw the whole thing, didn't you, Sergio? Who was here just now? She looked him in the eyes and asked. She had a hunch that the pair of cold hands were a woman's as they were small. If it was a man, she might not have been able to survive the push."

"What? Sergio looked at her in confusion. """"What's wrong, Belle? Saw what? You don't look so good. Did something bad happen to you?""""

Sergio looked at her worriedly.

"I'm fine. Belle shook her head and sighed. She was upset yet was unwilling to give up. She asked, """'Did you not see anyone leave just now?'""' "'

"Just now? Sergio thought for a moment and shook his head. """"When I came over, I saw someone on the ground and it looked like you. So, I came and had a look. I didn't see anyone else."

No one has been here? Impossible! She screamed in her heart and shook her head.

"The person really pushed her hard. How could there be no one? However, it was dark here. It was also possible that Sergio could not see her in the distance."

She finally calmed down after a long while.

"Forget it. If he didn't see it, then she would not be able to get anything from him. She smiled bitterly, shook her head, and tidied her gown."
