Chapter 27

Angela’s gaze sharpened as several towering men surrounded her. One of them grabbed her with an unpleasant smirk, “Beauty, come with me.

Angela swiftly seized his wrist and threw him over her shoulder to the ground before the man was even ready to react, causing the man to let out a cry of prin

ng three men

The remaining

then bunged at Angela, but soon they all ended up on the ground, wailing in pain.

The fight completely exhausted Angela and her vision started to blur. She struggled to keep herself upright and walked forward.

Upon entering the elevator, Angela groped for the button for the first floor. Leaning against the elevator wall, she gasped for breath.

When the elevator doors opened again, Angela walked out only to realize it wasn’t the first floor. She frowned, knowing that going back might lead her to encounter those men again.

Before her stretched a long corridor. Angela braced herself and stumbled forward.

After what felt like a century, her consciousness began to fade, and a warm hug enveloped her before she was about to collapse.

Meanwhile, Kenneth was in the most luxurious box on the eighth floor of a hotel. He sat silently while drinking, two empty bottles of strong liquor

in front of him.

Owen, beside him, wore an annoyed expression. “Kenneth, you’ve been drinking without a word since you arrived. Are you really that thirsty recently!”

Kenneth shot him a cold glance. “Just shut the fuck up if you can’t speak properly”

Owen fell speechless.

Upton sighed, patting Owen’s shoulder sympathetically. “Can’t you see Kenneth’s mood has been off lately! Why provoke him?”

The next moment, the door to the box was pushed open, and Henry entered with Debra. Allow me to introduce. This is my girlfriend, Debra Jenkins!”

The other three were aware of what happened between Henry and Debra, but they didn’t expect them to get back together just after Debra’s return Owen couldn’t help but frown, especially when he had seen Henry and Brenda shopping together not long ago.

Brenda used to be part of their circle. She disappeared for a while because of her family’s bankruptcy. Upon her return, she became the CEO of Empyria Group, making a successful comelsack

However, in recent years. Empyria Group had been on a downward spiral, and everyone had lost confidence in it.

Owen had worried that if Empyria Group went bankrupt, the Hastings family would never agree on their marriage, hindering their relationship Unexpectedly, not long after that, Henry got together with Debra

Seeing the silent trio, Henry expressed dissatisfaction, “What’s going on? You all keep quiet. Do you have any issues with my girlfriend?”

Upton smiled and looked at Henry. “How come? We’re just afraid of scaring her.”

Then, he looked at Debra, “Ms. Jenkins, nice to meet you. I’m Upton Cooper, Henry’s good friend”

Debra responded with a gentle smile, “Hello, everyone.”

After being seated, Henry said, “You can ask Jennifer to come over to keep your company. You two are good friends, right?”

Debra hesitated for a moment, glancing at Kenneth. “Is it okay? Would it be bothering!”

“Of course not. We’re all acquainted anyway, Henry assured.

Debra was about to make a call when Kenneth suddenly stood up. “I have something to attend to. Enjoy yourselves.”

Debra paled, looking somewhat aggrieved. She turned to Henry and asked, “Does Mr. Sinclair dislike me?”

Owen furrowed his brows, feeling that Debra was being a bit melodramatic.

He raised an eyebrow, jokingly adding. “If Kenneth likes you, your boyfriend might get jealous.”

Henry glared at Owen and gently rubbed Debra’s hair. “Don’t overthink. Kenneth has always been indifferent. You’ll get used to it when you get to know him better”

Chapter 27

Exiting the room, Kenneth checked his phone, finding no missed calls or messages.

In the past, whenever he attended any dinner party, Angela would prepare hangover remedies for him and remind him to drink less. Now, she wouldn’t bother asking even if he stayed out all night.

Kenneth became gloomy as he put away his phone, ready to leave. Suddenly, his face instantly darkened when he noticed someone holding a silver phone.

It was a custom–made model that he had ordered for Angela on her birthday last year. There couldn’t be a second one in Lithoria.

He stopped the man and questioned sternly, “Where did this phone come from?”

Patrick never expected to encounter Angela at this hotel. Seeing the flush on her face, he couldn’t help but frown. Apparently, Angela had been drugged!

Patrick immediately took her to his room and called his agent. “Get a doctor here, a female one. Hurry!”

After hanging up, he still felt uneasy, so he pushed open the bedroom door.

However, what he saw inside left him frozen in place.

The large bed inside was in disarray due to Angela’s struggles

Her face was crimson, her brows furrowed in discomfort. Her captivating eyes, like a myriad of stars, were slightly open, lacking focus, yet incredibly alluring.

As she struggled, her clothes slightly loosened, revealing the smooth skin on her chest. Unaware of it, she even tugged at her neckline. “So hot… Patrick clenched his fists, struggling to look away. “Angela, just hold on a bit longer. The doctor will be here soon.

He didn’t dare to look at Angela again. After making sure there was nothing in the room that could hurt her, Patrick turned around and left.

Patrick had never felt time dragon so painfully. After waiting for over ten minutes without the doctor’s arrival, he decided to check on Angela’s condition.

Suddenly, the door swung open with a loud bang. A tall figure entered the room, carrying a sense of chill

Upon seeing Patrick, Kenneth’s gaze turned sharp. “Where’s Angela

Patrick furrowed his brow and said sternly, “Mr. Sinclair, this is my room. Please leave

Kenneth’s gaze fell on the bedroom door behind Patrick. Then, he ignored Patrick’s warning as he walked over.

Patrick tried to stop him, but the bodyguard accompanying Kenneth subdued him.

The moment Kenneth pushed open the bedroom door, he was shocked by the scene.

He abruptly closed the door, and when he came out again, Angela was securely wrapped up.

As he passed by Patrick, Kenneth glared at him. “If I find out that it has something to do with you, I will never let it go easily!”

Kenneth took Angela directly to the presidential suite on the top floor, during which she kept struggling, but Kenneth, wearing a poker face, didn’t stop her.

Thinking about what could have happened today if he hadn’t coincidentally seen her phone, Kenneth felt his anger on the verge of breaking out. After they arrived, Kenneth threw Angela onto the bed.

The pain brought a momentary recovery to Angela’s consciousness, but her discomfort intensified. She felt as if millions of ants were gnawing at her body.

1 feel so hot… Help me

She wildly pulled at her clothes, her body faintly tinged with a tempting and alluring hue of pink.

Kennelly approached, grabbing her restless hands and staring into her eyes. “Angela, how can I help you?”
