Chapter 89 Abducted
Erin wasn’t quite used to how open Dana was being. Dana would never have visited such a place in the past. But she thought of how she had once acted on impulse and hired a male escort in the past and decided that she was in no position to judge Dana. Erin awkwardly proposed, “Dana, why don’t we just have time to ourselves? We can just sing and have a few drinks. I don’t think we need the male escorts, do we?”
Milly and Ella obviously felt uncomfortable with the arrangement too. “That’s right, Dana. I think we don’t need them…” Ella echoed.
Ella only learned that Milly was going to be there when she entered the private room. Had she known earlier, she would not have turned up.
Ever since she had a falling out with Milly, she no longer talked to her anymore, unless it was absolutely necessary.
If not for Dana, who told her that she would find a job back in her hometown, she did not even feel like attending the gathering.
There were eight of them in the room, all well–dressed and looking good. But the atmosphere in the enclosed room was nothing but awkward.
Milly had a surly expression the entire time, a hostile air surrounding her.
Feeling the uncomfortable undertone around them, Erin truly regretted taking Dana up on her invitation. “Enjoy yourself, girls. I need to use the restroom for a bit,” Erin excused herself.
A waiter entered the room with a fruit platter when she opened the door. But he deliberately blocked his face with the tray, and due to the dim lighting, Erin failed to see his face.
Once Erin was gone, Dana told Ella, “Since we’re already here, we might as well relax and have a good time. They’re not going to eat you up! All they’re here for is to have a chat with us. Come on, don’t be a spoilsport. I’ll be going home tomorrow, who knows when I’ll get to see all of you again…”
At Dana’s words, the male escorts began to interact with Ella and Milly, drinking and playing a game of dice with them.
The four male escorts were all very handsome, and since Dana had said that she would be the one settling the bill for the night, Milly and Ella began to warm up to them and started having a few drinks too.
A cold glint flashed in Dana’s eyes as she watched Ella and Milly chat with the escorts. She took out her phone and sent a text message to a man.
First, she sent him a photo of Erin in the outfit she was in that night.
Then, she followed with a message. “I wouldn’t mind seeing her get raped tonight. Maybe even by several men. I don’t really care as long as she doesn’t die. I’ll bank in 20 thousand dollars to you after the deed is done.
She received a reply in less than a minute. “Done deal.”
Dana proceeded to delete the message from her phone and placed it back in her bag. With a glass of wine in hand, she sat down beside Ella and watched as they played. She was safe now that she had Ella and Milly as an alibi. Erin would never suspect her of being the mastermind behind it all now!
Over in the restroom, Erin gave Holly a call. She briefed her on her situation and requested that Holly give her a call soon so she could make up an excuse to leave. She really couldn’t bear to stay in the room with such a stifling atmosphere and the four
male escorts in there.
Holly agreed and promised to call her in 20 minutes.
When Erin left the restroom, she saw five or six men standing in the hallway, looking suspicious. One of them, with a crew cut and a gold chain around his neck, said to the person beside him when he saw Erin, “Quick! Take my girlfriend away! How dare she come here and meet escorts without my permission!”

Erin was dumbfounded. The man seemed to be pointing at her. She turned to look behind her, but there was no one else in the hallway apart from the three waiters. There wasn’t any other female around.
She panicked. Her first instinct was to retreat back into the ladies‘ room.
Her heart beat erratically. She hoped she was overthinking things, and that the man had just mistaken her for someone else.
But before she could make head or tail of the situation, the group of men had charged into the ladies‘ room.
Erin started screaming as they forcibly dragged her away. She shouted for help when she saw the waiters in the hallway. “Help me! Quick! Call the police! I don’t know these people!”
But the man with a crew cut turned and gave Erin a hard smack across the face when he heard her cry for help. Then, he turned and roared at the waiters, “I’m warning you, you better mind your own goddamn business! Your boss is a friend of mine. I do not need anyone to meddle in my business when I’m teaching my girlfriend a lesson! If anyone even dares call the police, you
better watch out!”
His fierce and cruel face made his threats very convincing. The three lanky waiters stood by the side in silence for fear that one wrong move would bring misfortune upon themselves.
Being just and courageous these days brought no good to anyone. Only a fool would stand out for someone they didn’t even
know!
Before long, Erin was dragged out of the club. Everyone who saw them on their way out stared at them in terror. Some looked on with pity, but no one dared to stand out to help her.
One of the waiters who had been secretly tailing them spoke softly into his bluetooth earphones, “Mr. Frost, Miss Lane has been dragged into a car by a group of men. Should we rescue her now?”
At the thought of all the uncertainties that could happen once the car left the area, Chandler quickly made the call. “Rescue her
at once!”
“Yes, sir!”
Before the men could take off in their black van, more than 10 men rushed out of nowhere and surrounded them.
It was obvious that they were well–trained fighters, all clad in black bodyguard attire and at least six feet tall. They were all buff and had stern expressions on their faces.
The man with a crew cut who was seated in the front passenger seat was taken aback. He immediately swung the door open and asked aggressively, “Who are you? Who sent you-”
The man disguised as a waiter went around behind him, and all he said was, “Go!”
All the bodyguards started to attack, dragging all six hooligans out of the car and giving them a good beating.
The hooligans whipped out the daggers they carried with them whenever they got the chance to do so, but even so, they were no match for the bodyguards.
Furthermore, there was twice the number of bodyguards compared to the hooligans, so in just under two minutes, all six of the hooligans, including the one with the crew cut, all lay prone on the ground, most likely with several broken ribs.
Erin stayed in the car, white as a sheet from the fear. The man disguised as a waiter approached her and said, “Miss Lane, it’s alright now. You can get out of the car.”
Erin took a good look at the man. She quickly recognized him and exclaimed, “Hans!”
Hans told her impassively, “All this while I’ve been shadowing you, Miss Lane. Mr. Frost sent me to protect you. When he learned that you were meeting Dana Sawyer tonight, he arranged for a group of bodyguards to ensure your safety.”
His words brought a frown to Erin’s face. “So you mean to say that these men were sent by Dana?”
“Yes,” Hans affirmed.
Rage fired up within Erin. “Do you have proof?” she asked.

Hans produced a phone from his pocket and said, “Not only do I have proof, but we also have witnesses here too! This is Dana Sawyer’s phone. I’ve used a special software to restore the messages she deleted. If you’re still not convinced, you may check. the phones of these six people here. Or, you could interrogate them.”
Erin snatched the phone he had in his hands and read the text messages Dana sent. She was so furious that she shook all over.
With the phone in her hand, she exited the car and stormed up to one of the men lying on the ground. There was nothing but anger and coldness in the depths of her eyes.
“Spill it! Who gave you orders to abduct me?” Erin demanded.
