Vera was extremely nervous. She couldn't care less anymore; she dropped the box of food, turned around, and started running towards the exit.

She knew that holding the box would only hold her down, and these people obviously didn't want to let her leave. She also didn't know what they would do to her. Therefore, all she could do was run. She was glad to see that the door was not fully closed as she headed out.

As long as she ran out of the room fast enough, she would be safe.

Worst case scenario, she would go seek help from Ernest even if it meant to trouble him.

If these vulgar men knew she had come with friends, they would be more vigilant.

However, reality rarely worked out as one imagined.

Before she could reach the door, she was grabbed by the man with a cigarette in his mouth. He grabbed her wrist forcefully and pulled her back into the room. "Ah! Let me go!" Vera screamed and struggled

hard.

The men on the side couldn't help but laugh when they saw this scene. "Oh, this girl is quite aggressive. Could she happen to be pure and innocent?"

"She must be. No men are working long term at her restaurant; there are only her parents."

"Hehehe, little girl. It must be hard for you to run a restaurant by yourself. How about you pick one of us here, and he will work for you at your restaurant for free."

All Vera wanted was to escape from this place; she could care less about what those b*stards had to say to her. Since she couldn't free herself from the man's grip, she bit on his hand hard. "Ah!" The man let out a scream. He let go of his grip and threw a tight slap on Vera's head.

Bang!

His strength was so great that Vera lost her balance.

"Do you want to die? How dare you bite me! You shameless b*tch!"

Vera felt so dizzy from the slap that she could barely see what was in front of her, but she remembered the direction. She got up and tried to walk towards the exit again.

"How dare you escape after biting me? Do you think I will let you?!" The man pulled on her hair and dragged her back.

"Ah!" Vera was in so much pain that her face turned pale, and she shrieked in pain.

On the other side.

"That brat! He must have known that I brought you here to help; that's why he escaped before we got here. He better not let me catch him again."

Ernest came to look for a man in the other room, and they were ready to drag the man back. But they hadn't expected the man to already run away.

"My brother isn't afraid of anyone in the family other than you. I have no idea where he got the news that you were coming, and he escaped. Ernest, I'm sorry for troubling you to make this trip here. Ernest didn't mind it. He shook his head and said, "It's all right. I don't have anything to do today, anyway."

Upon hearing this, Jimmy was stunned. Then, he thought of something and sighed, "You should let the past stay in the past. You can't go on like this. It's better that you move on."

Ernest pursed his lips, and his expression turned cold all of a sudden.

Jimmy could tell that he didn't like to hear those words and he quickly changed the topic.

"Okay, okay, I won't talk about it anymore. You can live as you wish. Since we can't replace that brat, let's head back."

They took the elevator down and saw that the delivery cart was still outside. Jimmy said, "Isn't this that girl's cart? She's not done with the delivery?"

Upon hearing this, Ernest stopped in his tracks.

"What do you mean?"

Jimmy touched the back of his head and said, "Didn't you hear her say earlier? She was going to leave as soon as she sent the delivery, so she refused our help to hold the box for her. But it has been a long time since then and she's not out yet. Ernest, you know her, don you?

What's your relationship with her?"

Ernest said, "She's the tenant of my pasta restaurant."

"Just a tenant?" Jimmy blinked. "Then it shouldn't be your business if anything happens to her, right?"

Hearing this, Ernest finally realized that something was wrong. He narrowed his eyes and stared at his cousin with danger, "Make it clear."

"When she was sending food earlier, I saw a man with a cigarette in his mouth open the door for her.

According to my experience, that man is not someone you want to meddle with. I think the delivery order was just an excuse to get the girl here because you can get any food you want in this place; there's no need to order delivery... Hey, Where are you going?"

Before Jimmy could finish his words, Ernest walked toward the elevator with a cold face. His cousin caught up to him and said. "Isn't she just your tenant? Why are you so anxious?"

When they entered the elevator, Ernest's eyes were cold. "Are we supposed to just let something bad happen to her?"

Jimmy smacked his lips and said, "It is harsh to just leave her there, but there are so many people inside. Don't act impulsively or start a fight with them. I'll call the police immediately if we don't have a choice." Inside the room.

"F*ck! This girl is amazing. Patrick, you really picked a good one this time."

"I told you not to be so violent. She has a pretty face; it's going to be a pity if she's injured."

The man picked up Vera and threw her into Patrick's arms, and he quickly hugged her. Vera wanted to struggle to escape, but Patrick pressed her firmly on the sofa with his legs.

"Stop running. I won't do anything violent to you. I just want to have a chat with you, that's all. Don't be nervous..."

They were used to seeing welcoming women in the nightclub and not women like Vera. Furthermore, it intrigued them even more as she was petite and fighting back.

Looking at the men in the room, Vera closed her eyes in despair. Was she really going to be taken advantage of that day in a place like that?

No, she wasn't going to let that happen.

She opened her eyes and gritted her

teeth. "Do you know that this is against the daw? I'm not one of the girls you called for, so you have no right to do this to me. Also, I came here with my friend. You better let me go now, or you will all be screwed when my friend realizes something happened to me and calls the police."

Patrick was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect her to be so sharp- tongued, and he laughed even louder.

"Call the police? That's great. We have so many people here. Will your friends be enough to fight us? Will they have time to call the police?"

Hearing this, Vera understood his words; he was clearly telling her that he wasn't afraid of anything.

Bang!

The door swung open with a hard kick. Ernest's cousin was recording the situation inside the room with his phone as he said, "You all better not move. I've already called the police." Perhaps they didn't expect the door to be kicked open suddenly, so everyone was stunned for a moment.

Soon, one of the men in the room stood up.

"You dare to call the police? Fine. I'm going to have you on the floor before they arrive."

After saying that, the man was about to walk over to Ernest and his cousin, but someone stopped him.

"Thomas, Thomas, that's Ernest Lowell."

"Ernest Lowell? Which Ernest Lowell? Who the hell is he? What does it have to do with me?"

"Ernest Lowell from Lowell Real Estate."

The person who pulled him whispered something into the man's ear, and the man's expression changed instantly.
