?Chapter 1536:

    He was confident Kallie would ept his offer. In his experience, many women sought hispany, although he found few genuinely attractive. Thus, he was certain Kallie would not decline.

    However, Kallie’s tone grew even colder as she retorted, “Let us go, and I’ll triple what you were paid. Not enough? I can go up to five times more.”

    Realizing she was rejecting him, the scarred man felt his pride wounded and suddenly grasped Kallie’s chin. “I don’t need your money. What I want, you can’t provide. I offered you a way out, but you chose to refuse. Now you’re really asking for trouble.”

    Witnessing the scene, Linsey’s anxiety escted as she struggled and yelled, “Do you have any idea who she is? She’s Kallie Nixon, the wealthiest woman in Avalon. Are you really willing to risk everything by offending her?”

    The scarred man halted, giving Kallie a puzzled look. “The wealthiest woman in Avalon?” A flicker of doubt crossed his eyes.

    Linsey was convinced her warning had an impact.

    However, to her dismay, the scarred man erupted inughter the next moment. “If she’s the wealthiest in Avalon, then I must be the president. Do you think we’re that gullible?”

    Hispanions joined in theughter.

    Linsey, growing desperate, added, “It’s true. Her husband, Jake Reeves, is on his way here. If he finds you like this, you’re all in deep trouble. You should let us go now.”

    Theughter stopped, and the scarred man nced at Kallie skeptically. “You expect me to believe that? If she were really that wealthy, would capturing her be this easy? Would a hotel manager dare to cross her if she were?”

    Linsey was left speechless for a moment, and Kallie suddenly felt a wave of regret. Had she known they would run into such people, she never would have taken the risk.

    Trying to remainposed, Kallie addressed the scarred man, “Check online for my name and photo. You’ll see for yourself. We have no reason to lie about this, especially not with something so obvious.”

    ???????? ?????????????? ???????? ??????????ν??????﹒??????

    The scarred man appeared somewhat convinced.

    At that moment, a sly-looking individual leaned in and whispered in his ear, “She might be stalling. Remember how she pretended to call the hotel CEO earlier? Perhaps she’s trying to summon help or even the police. If she truly is wealthy, we could be courting serious trouble.”

    Nodding in agreement, the scarred man smirked sinisterly. “You might be right.”

    He then signaled his men, who swiftly moved to restrain Kallie and Linsey.

    Kallie and Linsey had no chance to respond as the group efficiently secured them, covering their mouths and binding their limbs.

    Within moments, Kallie was being forced toward a car. Linsey struggled futilely beside her.

    Just then, a Maybach pulled up to the curb.

    Linsey’s eyes sparkled with a glimmer of hope, only to dim as she recognized the license te.
