Chapter 47 Helping Out
When Chandler yelled out Erin’s name, Louis looked at her once more. She looked extremely young, like she was only in her twenties.
His heart hurt terribly. This lady was not his Adeline.
There was a moment under the dim purple lights where he thought he had traveled back through time and saw his dead wife, but the reality was always ruthless. Before waiting for Chandler to attack, Louis had already let go of Erin. Guilt evident in his eyes, he said. “I’m sorry, I am indeed mistaken.”
Chandler lowered his fists, strode over to Erin, and grabbed her by the wrist. He glared at Louis and smiled sardonically. He said curtly.” Louis, seeing how much you love your late wife. I’ll let it go this time! If you dare to touch my woman again, don’t blame me for being unfriendly!”
Then, Chandler pulled Erin along and headed out of the room.
Tony was so frightened he didn’t dare to let out a single breath. With the bodyguards standing by the side of the corridors armed with batons and daggers, they didn’t dare to be reckless.
Chandler looked at Tony with disgust and snarled, “Tony Dixon, how bold of you! You even dare to touch my woman! You just wait for King Midas Club to be shut down!”
When Tony heard King Midas Club, his cash cow, would be shut down, he panicked and knelt on the floor! Holding his hands together, he begged, “Mr. Frost, I was wrong! I was careless! Please forgive me! Please have mercy on King Midas Club! My family’s survival relies on it!”
Erin was stunned. The once authoritative Tony looked so timid at that moment. She secretly snuck a glance at Chandler when he lowered his head to look at her.
He was in a horrible mood. “What are you looking at? You wait for what’s in store for you when we get back!”
Erin was a little taken aback, and she blushed. Did everyone there already know about her relationship with Chandler? It seemed like Chandler was truly furious this time–she might suffer tremendously when she returned. However, at the thought of her mother and Grayson, she mustered up the courage and said, “Mr. Frost, my mother and her husband are being held hostage by Tony. My best friend Holly is gone as well! He must have taken her!”
Tony, who had been kneeling on the floor begging, immediately prostrated, “I’m so sorry, Miss Lane! I’m so sorry!”
“Do you have her mother?” Chandler glared at Tony. Scumbags like him will only know true fear when they are in jeopardy.
Tony immediately stopped his act, turned around, and yelled at the bodyguards, “What are you standing there for? Bring them here!”
Chandler turned around and said to Hans and Kyle, “You two stay here and send Erin’s parents back home. We’re leaving.”
“Yes, Mr. Frost.”
Erin was worried about her mother and wanted to chime in when Chandler immediately stopped her. “Don’t you bargain with me! If not, I won’t help you!”
She looked at him resentfully and pouted but said nothing else. It was definitely much easier with his help.
When Tony heard that Chandler was leaving, he knelt and continued begging. “Mr. Frost, please give me another chance. I didn’t know any better. Please don’t shut down King Midas Club!”
Seeing their boss begging for mercy, the bodyguards had to do something as well, so they knelt on the floor too. Although they said nothing, it was obvious that they hoped Chandler would show some mercy.
Erin was dragged away by Chandler. She turned around with difficulty and asked, “Tony, about Grayson’s debt…”
Tony almost passed out. King Midas Club was about to be shut down. How would he still dare to collect Grayson’s debt?
Even Chandler was secretly amused. How could this idiotic woman be so unaware of the situation?
Hearing Tony wailing hysterically, Chandler finally stopped in his tracks but didn’t turn around. He said, “Alright, I will let King Midas Club
go this time. If you dare to do this to me again, I’ll make sure your mother has a funeral for her son.”
Chills ran down Tony’s spine when he heard what Chandler said. He immediately swore, “Mr. Frost. I swear I won’t repeat the same mistake again! Thank you, Mr. Frost!” He prostrated himself once more behind Chandler:
Soon, Kyle and Hans took four bodyguards to go and get the hostages.
Once Chandler and Erin left King Midas Club, Louis, who had been standing in the room all this while, calmly walked out. He had witnessed how cowardly Tony was just now. When Louis left with his assistant, he said to Tony, “You’re lucky there was no conflict between me and Chandler Frost this time. If not, I wouldn’t have let you off the hook either!”
Tony watched as Louis disappeared from his sight. He slumped onto the floor in panic and gasping for air.
Two bodyguards quickly rushed over to help him up. “Boss, are you alright? Do you need to go to the hospital?”
Perhaps Tony had nowhere to release his long–suppressed anger, so when he saw his men helping him, he raised his hand and slapped
one of them!
He said agitatedly, “Idiots! I’m fine! Why should I go to the hospital? Don’t you know how unlucky it is to be in there? Today is just not my fucking day! How could I have offended two powerful people in one go!”
He wanted to take advantage of his situation, but instead, everything had backfired badly on him!
“Go and quickly check on the others! Make sure they don’t make any stupid mistakes! Let Mr. Frost’s men take Erin’s parents and friend
home!”
“Yes, boss!”
At that moment, Erin and Chandler were already on the way home via helicopter. When they reached home, it was almost dawn.
Entering his mansion, Chandler led Erin upstairs to the bedroom. Erin was exhausted. The moment she entered the bedroom, she slumped onto the bed.
Chandler immediately pulled her back up, looking at her with disgust. “Erin, go and take a shower! Don’t dirty my room!”
“I’ll sleep in the guest room then.”
If she hadn’t received the news about her mother being rescued, she might not have had the urge to fall asleep. At that moment, they were on their way home, so Erin was finally relieved. The other problems could wait until after a good sleep.
She turned around and barely took two steps when Chandler picked her up and dragged her to the bathroom. His eyes were also a little bloodshot with exhaustion. Chandler said impatiently, “Don’t test my patience! Go shower! You can sleep after you take a shower!”
Erin helplessly dragged her exhausted body to take a shower. When she finished showering, she saw that Chandler had also already taken a shower and was lying in bed.
She wanted to sneak to the guest room to sleep when Chandler patted on the pillow with his eyes still shut, saying, “Come here.”
Erin sighed and headed over. She thought that he was already asleep.
Once she lay down, Chandler cuddled with her. With his eyes still shut, he said in a tired tone, “Stop moving about. Go to bed.”
They cuddled and slept until 1 pm.
When Erin woke up, she saw Chandler looking at her. Clearly, he had been awake for quite some time. At that moment, he smiled at her spiritedly, but instead, it creeped Erin out, making her retreat instinctively.
Chandler grabbed her waist and smirked. ‘Erin Lane, are you ready for your punishment?”
