The only thing Lola could do now was stall for more time and wait for her brother.
Yolanda casually leaned against the car and said, "Using the same old tricks will bring you down. You're not very intelligent, are you?"
"I may not be that smart but Harry Si must be an idiot to believe a wrench like you." Working in his firm, Harry sneezed. He egotistically thought to himself that Lola must be calling him bad names.
Offended by Lola's remarks about Harry, Yolanda snapped. "I won't let you badmouth Harry like that!" As she spoke, she tried to open the door of Lola's car.
Lola took the opportunity and immediately rolled up her car window. She locked herself safely inside.
Realizing the car was fully secure, Yolanda made a gesture to her men and ordered, "Bring me a brick!"
She glared at Lola, saying, "You think locking yourself in the car would keep you safe?" "We'll crack it open and get you out!"
A man approached the car with a brick he picked up by the road. Yolanda quickly ordered," Break the window open!"
She moved away and the man stepped in. Lola examined the situation. If the window shattered, she would definitely get hurt and her face would be scarred by the shards of glass. Lola quickly opened the window in panic. "Let's not be rash."
Yolanda immediately grabbed her by the arms and dragged her out of the car. The men surrounded her to keep her from escaping.
She needed to buy herself more time. "Yolanda, I know you want Harry. Well, you can have him!" She casually dusted herself off and tidied her clothes.
Yolanda got furious at her words. The fact that she had the audacity to give Harry away as if he was insignificant made her snap, "He was mine to begin with! You never had the right to give him away!" She gestured to the men to take action. "This woman is all yours now!"
The men moved closer. Lola straightened herself and firmly spat, "I dare you!"
Startled by her cold look and severe tone, the men paused.
They looked at each other tentatively, feeling uncertain.
Lola carefully evaluated the situation and continued bluffing, "My grandfather was the former vice president and my boyfriend is the current president!" She thought to herself, I'm sorry for using your name, Thomas Herren.
Yolanda laughed at her. "Don't listen to her bullshit. She's delusional. Take her away!"
The men knew Lola's words held some truth, but they weren't convinced that her boyfriend was the president.
One of the men grabbed Lola by the wrist and tried to pull her off the road. "Come on, girl! Let me take good care of you!"
Lola was such an alluring woman with a hot temper. He was sure that she would be quite enjoyable.
"Let go of me! Damn you! If you dare touch me, I will chop you up and feed you to stray dogs!" Her voice was muffled through his hand. A greasy hand that reeked of cigarettes covered her mouth. She almost threw up in disgust.
Where are you, Jordan! She thought desperately to herself.
Two men pressed her against the grass and started to strip her clothes off. Lola felt so disgusted, she started vomiting.
Her hands were held tight, and she couldn't cry for help.
She thought about Mike and how he treated her last time. Fear welled up in her chest.
Yolanda looked smugly down at Lola and enjoyed her distress. "You want to pick a fight with me? Good for you! Let's see who has the last laugh once these men are done with you!
You'll end up a dirty wrench and Harry won't like you anymore!"
Lola was still fighting back against the men. Her efforts were futile and tears streamed down her face. Who would show up now and help her? A man's cold face came to mind. Harry Si, where are you?
