“I'm sorry, but Joan still has a lot of things to do. Why don't you make it some other day? It's already nighttime now,” Delilah gave them an awkward smile as she suggested at the side.
“No way. Our chairman has to see her today!” the man bellowed.
That's a little too much. They're foisting it upon me! Joan took a few steps back and shuddered in fear.
It's late at night. Going out on my own isn't really safe.
“Tomorrow. I'll see your chairman tomorrow,” she answered in a low voice.
“Our chairman isn't free tomorrow!” Finally, their negotiation ended to no avail, and Joan was
taken away by the two men.
“What are you trying to do? Let go of me!” she screamed and struggled.
“Joan...” Delilah was shouting from behind them.
The car was started and driven away from the garden. Delilah was stranded in the garden, alone.
“Hello, Larry, quick, Joan has been taken away.
Hurry up and save her!” Delilah cried in desperation.
At that juncture, Larry lost his cool. “Where is she?” he asked in a somber manner.
How am I supposed to know where they are right now? I have no idea either! Delilah felt like she had been struck by lightning and was at a loss.
“Tell me the car registration number!” Larry asked directly.
He then hung up the call immediately and called Caspian.
“I need you to check a car registration number for me and track it down...” Very soon, all his men were brought into action.
“Do you know who I am? Larry will never let you off the hook!” In the car, Joan warned them.
“Yes, we do. You're Larry, Dustin, and Caiden's beloved woman!” the man answered.
At that moment, Joan was taken aback. Turns out they know all these so well!
Very soon, the car came to a stop at the entrance of a cafe. The few men yanked Joan off the car forcefully and pushed her into the cafe.
