Chapter 647 Falling Into The Trap

Once they reached Venus Hotel, Desmond rounded the car and opened the door for Autumnn, urging her. "Hurry up. Autumn. Alex may be impatient after waiting for a long time."

"Okay," she responded but was taken aback at the sight of Venus Hotel. She then took out her phone, intending to text Alex.

Seeing his sister on her phone, Desmond was afraid Alex would be alerted, and that would interrupt David's proposal to Autumn. Thus, he snatched her phone away again and tossed it on the car seat before locking the doors.

His movements were fluid and swift. As she saw her phone landing on the car seat, uncertainty gripped her.

confusion and

"We need to head up now, Autumn." He tugged on her hand, spurring her into Venus Hotel.

"Slow down!" A frown marred Autumn's brows.

Desmond isn't exactly being subtle. If I still can't tell something is wrong, then I'm a fool. I'm curious to see this so-called surprise that Desmond has up his sleeves after getting me to the hotel in record time. After arriving at Room 502, he opened the door and yanked Autumn in. Their eyes immediately scanned the room and realized something was amiss.

A dozen brawny men were surrounding David who was currently seated on the couch. At that moment, David was taking a deep drag of a cigarette with a relaxed expression. "What's happening?" Desmond exclaimed in confusion.

Didn't David tell me he had prepared a surprise for Autumn and would propose to her here? There is no decoration, but there are only a handful of men standing around. This doesn't look like a romantic set-up for a proposal at all!

Sensing that he had been duped, Desmond held Autumn's arm in a vise grip, intending to leave the room immediately.

Just as they turned around, the door was closed by two men, and they moved their massive bodies to block the doorway. Seeing that, Desmond and Autumn had a bad feeling.

"What on earth is happening? Desmond, why did you bring me here to meet David? And with so many people around?" Autumn accused angrily.

Stunned, he shook his head continuously as he got flak from Autumn. "It's not what you think, Autumn. David told me he was going to propose to you, and I only had to get you here. I don't know what's going on here too. I'm as baffled as you are!"

He looked daggers at David and demanded. "What are you doing. David? Didn't you mention a proposal? Why aren't we allowed to leave?"

After hearing his words, everyone roared in laughter, including David, at how dumb he sounded.

"You're such a gullible man to have believed what I said." David tsked with a sneer and got up from the couch, continuing, "I was only using you to get Autumn here."

"You filthy liar! What do you want from us?" Desmond snarled. His face twisted in anger.

He stomped two steps forward, overwhelmed with the impulse to punch David's face. However, the thugs behind held him back roughly. The next second, he was pinned down, unable to move an inch. Ignoring Desmond, David focused his attention wholly on Autumn, his lecherous gaze roving over her flawless face and perfect body figure shamelessly.

To him, she was practically at his mercy, and there would be no escape for her.

"David, this is unlike you. Let Desmond go, and the Jones family would forget about this, or-"

"Or what?" He snickered and cut her off, then grasped her chin with his fingers,

"You're here with me, surrounded by my men. How dare you threaten me? I've had enough, b*tch. I'm going to teach you a lesson!"

"You wouldn't dare!" She slammed her palms against his chest with all her might, and he staggered and fell. Immediately, two men held her back, immobilizing her arms.

"So kitty has claws!" David got up and slapped her across the cheek.

The thwack echoed in the room, and Autumn's fair skin immediately reddened with a visible handprint.

Desmond exploded into action and began to struggle wildly, trying to free himself. "David, you son of a b*tch. How dare you lay a finger on Autumn?" he roared.
