Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Her voice was soft.

And light.

But it made a distinctive impact.

The air went silent for a few seconds. Then, the people hiding in the shadows all glanced at one another, expressions of confusion apparent in their eyes.

How had Viola Thompson detected their presence without them making any sound?

And her words showed no signs of panic.

If any other young lady had discovered she was being followed, she would’ve been scared out of her wits already.

But not Viola.

Far from it. She even took on a confident, leader-like demeanor, ordering the hidden people to reveal themselves.

This was mildly terrifying.

After a moment of hesitation, several figures emerged from the darkness, their bodies exposed under the streetlamp. They quickly surrounded Viola.

They were burly, big men.

Holding steel pipes in their hands, their eyes were venomous, glaring straight at Viola.

Viola’s Scarlet lips curling into a smile, “1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 of you. Are you going to attack one by one or all together?”

There was a hint of arrogance in her playful tone.

“Little girl, it’s better to be humble. Do you know who you’ve offended? Don’t blame us for being ruthless today!’

The speaker was a bald man.

Under the streetlight, his bald head shone brightly, looking like a salted duck egg.

Viola found the sight absurdly funny.

She was already laughing before the thought even fully formed in her mind.

Ridiculed by a young woman, the bald man was furious. He walked over to Viola, steel pipe in hand.

He could easily handle a girl like her alone.

But the employer’s instruction was not only to teach Viola a lesson but also to record a video humiliating her and post it on various short video platforms to make her infamous.

Watching the burly man approaching, Viola was completely unperturbed. She didn’t even get off her bicycle, simply staring at him.

Viola squinted her eyes, immediately gripping the bald man’s outstretched hand.

The bald man intended to grab her hair, but his hand was caught by Viola’s firm grip.

The bald man hardly had time to react before he was thrown onto the ground.

Boom!

The bald man felt as though his internal organs had been thrown around, and he was in so much pain that he could hardly breathe.

Viola remained nonchalant, still seated on her bicycle, with her right foot, which was initially on the ground, now pressing down on the bald man’s back.

The bald man lay flat on the ground, looking utterly pathetic.

The sight stunned the other seven people present!

The bald man was, after all, their Boss.

He was extraordinarily skilled!

And yet, he was now under Viola’s feet.

This young woman was too formidable!

“And you guys?” Viola lifted her chin a little.

The moonlight draped around her like a thin veil, making her look ethereal and beautiful.

The seven men were flabbergasted.

The bald man, feeling as though he were being slapped in the face, mustered the rest of his energy and bellowed, “What are you standing there for?! Go get her all at once.’

A couple of fists wouldn’t win against a crowd.

Even if he couldn’t beat Viola alone, all of his brothers rushing at her together would definitely knock her down.

When that time came, he would take revenge on this little brat for his humiliation today.

The bald man had been muddling through life in the underworld for many years, but he had never been so humiliated.

At this moment, besides the physical pain, he felt the sting of humiliation. Receiving the signal, his minions rushed toward Viola, steel pipes in hand.

Viola remained calm and composed on her bicycle.

No one even saw how she made her move.

In a flash.

Smack, smack, smack- –

The seven men all fell to the ground, wailing non-stop.

“It hurts!”

“We’re sorry Miss Hero!”

“Spare us, Miss Hero!”

Viola bent slightly forward, gently patting the bald man’s face, “Did the Summer family send you?”

There were rules in the underworld. If you took money, you had to keep secrets.

End up in Viola’s hands today was because they were lousy at their job.

The bald man remained silent.

“No answer?” Viola’s eyebrows twitched upward.

The bald man clamped his lips together tightly.

Viola nodded, “Alright. Silent, huh? Well, then you can stay silent forever.”

As she said this, Viola sat upright and took out a pair of rubber gloves from her pocket, putting them on leisurely. “Did the Summer family tell you? I’m a doctor.”

Her tone was casual, as if she didn’t care.

Although he had no idea what she was about to do, the bald man felt his heart pounding wildly inside him, filled with a sense of impending doom..
