MY UNKNOWN HUSBAND, VOLUME 2 - Season 3 Episode 30

Blue Mountain was huge, but Albert had posted guards at the roadways leading in and out of the area. Richard and Henry had to take extra precautions if they didn’t want to be found out.

It would take at least twenty minutes for Richard and Henry to get to the abandoned factory.

So John and Nina had to stall for time.

John had always been calm. He paid no attention to Isabella. He just wanted to know what happened to Nina after Albert took her out of the storage room. “What did you do with Nina?”

Isabella knew John would ask her this question and saw no need to hide it from him. “Why, we used her as a guinea pig, of course.”

“What do you mean?” Isabella’s words shattered Nina’s laid-back demeanor.

John pulled Nina into his arms to protect her. He looked at Isabella seriously and said, “I asked you a question.”

“Do you want to know the details? What do I get in return? One shouldn’t sell secrets cheaply.” He should have known Isabella wouldn’t give him a straight answer.

Nina suddenly understood. “Do you want revenge on me?”

“Got it in one.” Isabella didn’t hide her thoughts. She looked at her fingernails complacently. The bright red color of her fingernails excited her.

She raised her eyes and smiled viciously and weirdly. She gritted her teeth and said, “Do you remember when you slapped me? This is payback.”

“Don’t you slap her!” His voice rumbled like thunder, and there was real menace in his tone. Isabella shuddered.

She tried to gulp and recover her composure. She forced a stiff smile and said, “Of course I won’t slap her. A man should pay off his wife’s debts. So, Mr. Shi, if you want me to tell you, you’ll have to slap yourself. Twice. Oh, and make it bleed while you’re at it.”

“You’re like a dog counting on its master to back it up. Without Albert’s bodyguards, you can’t hurt us,” Nina taunted.

“Why you…” Isabella glared at Nina. ‘How dare you call me a dog?’

‘You little bitch, I’ll teach you a lesson.’ Isabella suppressed her impulse to curse and struggled to look calm. She said, “Now, now. That’s not nice!”

Isabella wasn’t rattled and Nina was taken aback. But a thought occurred to her. What if Albert had coached her on how to remain calm?

Nina sneered, “Albert taught you well. You got a handle on your emotions and stopped biting other people. Did they use a muzzle, or…”

Isabella was angry. She pinched her own hand and clenched her teeth. Her face was contorted into a mask of rage.

“You rude slut! You’re the dog!”

Nina smiled and continued, “You might not be smart or beautiful, but the least you could do is be polite. Why are you so arrogant?”

“You…you…” Pointing at Nina, Isabella was so angry that she couldn’t finish a sentence. She walked over aggressively and raised her hand, ready to slap Nina’s face.

John got between them, squinting at Isabella. “The last person who dared lay a hand on her has no hands or feet—now.”

“Is he exaggerating? I don’t know. Give it a try.” Nina poked her head out from behind John, smiling complacently. Isabella’s face turned pale. She had heard tales of John’s ruthlessness.

She could only drop her arm and take a few steps back.

“Nina, quit messing with me. I’m getting tired of this. You’re not going to push my buttons.” Isabella put on a fake smile and got to the point. “Back to business. Mr. Shi, you’re not getting me to admit to anything until you slap yourself. I will—”

“Isabella, how much do you love Albert?” Nina interrupted.

“What’s it to you?”

Nina successfully got to Isabella.

Nina walked out from behind John and looked at Isabella worriedly. “You may love him, but I think it’s pretty one-sided.”
“Bullshit!” Isabella was furious. “Just cut the crap. Kristina is dead. He needs a woman who loves him.”

“Yeah, you’re right.” Remember Kristina had passed on, Nina felt sad. Then, she raised her eyes and said slowly, “Yes, she’s dead, but Albert won’t like you, because Kristina was more woman than you’ll ever be. You don’t hold a candle to her. There’s no way Albert will fall for you.”

A faint smile appeared on John’s lips.

He thought Nina was doing a great job.

“Nina!” Isabella gnashed her teeth in fury. She couldn’t ignore this.

“What was that about not pushing your buttons again?” Nina went on the attack, and the sarcasm in her voice was obvious. Her plan was working.

It wasn’t that she lost her temper. It was that Nina was trying calm her down. That really got Isabella’s goat.

It was crueler than smashing her teeth and making her swallow them.

As expected, Isabella thought of what she had just said and immediately suppressed all her anger. Now she was practically suffocating from rage.

Her face gradually became ferocious, as if she wanted to tear Nina into little bits.

However, she knew that she couldn’t do that. She couldn’t fall into that trap.

She turned around and faced the broken wall. She was so angry that she jumped to her feet and closed her eyes to vent her anger.

“Ah…”

Isabella shouted in a sharp voice.

Nina was shocked and shrank her neck when she saw how furious Isabella was.
“Was that too much?” Nina asked John. John was blown away.

‘It’s obvious you like torturing Isabella. You don’t look guilty at all.

God, you’re sexy when you’re devious.’

John couldn’t help but shake his head with an affectionate smile.

“I’m sorry, you were saying?” John knew that Nina was deliberately provoking Isabella and changing the topic.

Nina tried to prevent John from agreeing to exchange two bloody slaps all for a piece of info that might or might not be relevant.

Nina bit her lips, and the smile on her face quickly disappeared. She lowered her eyes, worried and blaming herself.

She didn’t know what happened after she fainted. She didn’t feel uncomfortable when she woke up. She just remembered that she had a very strange dream.

The dream was so strange that she still had a lingering fear when she thought about it.

The underground lab was so covert, with tight security. Not only were guards posted at regular intervals, the doors could only be unlocked by retina scan. Needless to say, what Albert had spent a lot of money and energy on was not any ordinary medicine.

Knowing that they had experimented on her, Nina was afraid. She didn’t want to die at such a young age.

But if John slapped himself, she’d feel the pain.

Nina thought she’d better pretend she knew nothing, so she wouldn’t be afraid.
However, John wanted to know the truth.

“Fine. Two slaps for a secret,” John said calmly and firmly.
