Chapter 543 The Trap Closes

“Let me go! Let me go right now!”

Adeline trembled with fury, thrashing against the men’s iron grips.

But the bodyguards restraining her were trained fighters. Her strength was nothingpared to theirs.

“Rob, Evan… can I go now?” Tracy’s voice was small, hesitant.

“Get out!” Evan snapped.

The word was harsh, but to Tracy it was salvation. She exhaled in relief–she was safe.

Still, when she passed Adeline, her steps faltered. Her voice dripped with helplessness and guilt. “Huíhuí, don’t me me. I didn’t have a choice.”

“If I didn’t lure you here, they said they’d take me instead… and they’d record it. Photos, videos. My life would be over. I couldn’t let that happen. I’m sorry… I’m so, so sorry.”

She bowed her head and hurried out.

Adeline almostughed.

So Tracy’s life was worth saving, but hers could be thrown to the wolves? Her body, her dignity —fair trade for Tracy’s peace?

Bitterness flooded her chest. She wanted tough, but her eyes betrayed her, stinging red.

She knew she couldn’t fight free. She stopped struggling, fumbling instead for her phone.

She had meant to dial the police. But when she unlocked it, her trembling fingers slipped, and she hit the top number in her call log.

Lily.

She knew Lily was pregnant. Afterst night’s chaos, Lily needed rest. She hadn’t wanted to disturb her.

But this was her only chance.

If they took her phone, she’d never get another.

The call connected almost instantly. Shame burned through her as she forced the words out, “Lily, call the police…”

She never finished. A guard wrenched the phone from her hand, smirking as he strode out. He’d toss it somewhere else in the club, leaving no trail.

“Adeline,” Evan drawled, venom curling in his tone. “You were so unrulyst time. Don’t you think it’s time to make amends? Have a drink.”

Her pulse spiked.

“Make her drink every bottle on that table,” he ordered.

The low table glittered with rows of liquor–strong white spirits, more than ten bottles.

Adeline’s blood ran cold. Her tolerance was nonexistent. One ss was enough to drop her. Forced to drink them all, she would die before she ever sobered up.

But death wasn’t even the worst part.

Two guards shoved her down on the sofa. Fingers dug into her jaw, forcing her mouth open as burning liquor poured past her lips.

Over her gagging coughs, Rob’s greasy chuckle oozed. “When she starts serving uster, we’ll get it all on camera. Nice and clear. With those videos, if she doesn’t want her foster parents, her sister, her coworkers, her friends to see-” His grin widened. “-then she’ll have no choice but to keeping back. To strip herself bare and please us willingly. Our personal toy, forever.”

Evan and Rob weren’t known for restraint. They liked variety, cruelty, and games. They had never bothered with photos before.

The idea of filming hade from Marilyn.

She’d pointed out that Adeline was a public figure, obsessed with her family’s respect. With ckmail in hand, they could control herpletely.

Most women were a passing amusement–a night or two, then boredom.

But Adeline’s beauty was intoxicating. That cold, elegant face edged with sultry allure–she could keep them entertained for years.

And she was valuable. Perfect for trading favors, for earning fortunes.

Marilyn had even suggested they use Tracy to lure her.

Tonight, with a room full of like–minded men, Evan and Rob expected both pleasure and profit.

“Tsk, tsk. Even drunk, a beauty is still a beauty.” Rob leered, squeezing her trembling cheek.

“Get away from me! Don’t touch me!”

Adeline’s whole body shook with hatred. Their threats of cameras and ckmail already had her terrified. His touch made her want to scream.

Thest time she’d drunk–her graduation–she’d barely had a few sses. And she had embarrassed herself for hours: hugging amppost, belting out opera, then sobbing when she couldn’t climb a wall back at the dorm.

Drunk, she lost all control.

And tonight…

She was terrified.

Terrified that once she slipped under, she would wake to find herself ruined, bound forever to these beasts.
