Chapter 1304 Dressed Like This in the Middle of the Night Ann lowered her head in silence as the young woman pointed to several bodyguards nearby.
"Take her out," the woman commanded. "Remember her face. She's banned from our property. If I see her again, I'll deal with her personally." Her voice dripped with contempt. "The nerve of her, trying to seduce my brother and making him late for the gala." Ann was dragged away like a discarded object, her dignity stripped bare as the wealthy socialites erupted in cruel laughter.
"I've got photos," one called out.
Another chimed in, "I recorded everything. If she ever shows her face around your brother again, I'll make sure this goes viral." Their laughter echoed behind her as the bodyguards threw Ann outside the gates. Every bone in her body screamed in pain. She struggled to her feet, desperately trying to straighten her disheveled clothing.

The others made small talk before shifting to discussions about the stock market. He hadn't given Ann's desperate call a second thought. After all, the car keys were with his driver, who only took orders from him. At worst, she'd been intimidated, but she would have been fine if she'd just stayed in the car.
He dismissed the incident immediately, immersing himself in debates about economic trends. When the women entered, his brow furrowed momentarily, but he showed no further concern. To him, Ann was an outsider-her discomfort was trivial. Still, his gaze occasionally fixed on his wine glass, lost in thoughts he couldn't name. Ann walked for miles along roads where taxis never ventured. She removed her heels, carrying them as she followed the path illuminated by streetlights. Suddenly, a luxury vehicle appeared ahead-clearly another party- bound guest.
The car stopped beside her. A rough-looking man whistled from the window. Taking in her disheveled appearance and the marks visible on her neck, he mistook her for a prostitute.
"Hey, need a ride? I'll show you a good time," he called out.
Ann ignored him and continued walking. Enraged by her dismissal, the man instructed his driver to seize her. Enjoying the book? Don't forget to visit nov L5sfor the full experience.

The driver and security guard pursuing her slowed their pace when they saw her fall.
"What's wrong? Can't run anymore?" one taunted.
Ann trembled with rage and helplessness. This was happening because she'd gotten involved with that man, because she'd been forward in the car. Her own foolish mistake.
Ignoring her bleeding feet, she pressed on. The man, infuriated by her determination, barked orders at his bodyguards. "Take her by that tree. I refuse to be rejected by swoman." They dragged Ann by both arms to the tree. The man approached, noticing her beauty despite everything, his eyes gleaming with predatory interest. "Pretty little thing, aren't you? Don't fight it-I'll treat you right." Ann felt nauseated and tried to push him away, but he gripped her chin forcefully. "Look at those marks on your face. Someone doesn't know how to treat a woman."

"Playing hard to get? Dressed like this in the middle of the night-you're m practically begging for it." "Leavealone!" she shouted, struggling against him.
Her resistance meant nothing against his strength Suddenly, his phone rang. Checking the caller ID, his expression darkened with instant displeasure.
