Elizabeth, aware of the impropriety, unconsciously took a half step forward and explained in a low voice, cradling Ann Charke behind her, “Sorry, we took the wrong turn. Sorry to bother you.”
She grabbed Ann Charke 's wrist and turned away.
The bodyguards who surrounded them had no intention of letting them go, and the big guy laughed more and more violently, “Since you are here, there is no reason to leave without taking off your clothes. I've heard of some new recruits. You're not leaving until I have a good time.”
As a noble lady, Ann Charke had never seen met something like that. Her legs went limp and she began to speak incoherently, “You got the wrong idea. We're not the new girls here. We're looking for someone.”
Before she finished her words, the bodyguard had dragged her to the big guy.
Elizabeth was so anxious that she blurted out, "Stop! Don't touch her! She’s Marvin Bennett’s fiancee!"
Ann Charke, who was still in shock also followed and agreed to say: “Yes, I am Marvin Bennett's fiancée. Don't touch me, or Marvin will kill you!”
The bog boss was well known in the circle. He and Marvin Bennett didn't like each other, but they didn't have a problem. But if he messed with Marvin Bennett's woman, he would be in trouble.
He looked at the two young women again. They were well-dressed and unrevealing, certainly not nightclub workers.
But before he could speak, another young man in the dim light suddenly said, “She's Marvin's fiancee. What about you? Who are you?”
Elizabeth followed the voice and saw the face of a fine gentleman, but the man was cold and sullen, and his temper was not as serious as his face.
Elizabeth did not reply and was soon shouted at by the middle-aged man, “Mr. Buck was talking to you. Answer him!"
“I'm Marvin's sister. She and I were looking for my brother. It was dark at night. I took the wrong road and entered the wrong room.” said Elizabeth in a low voice.
The man, known as Mr. Buck, had no expression on his face as he lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly.
After a few puffs of his cigarette, he said simply, “So you’re Marvin Bennett’s stepsister. Come here.”
Elizabeth refused to move, so she was dragged to the man by the bodyguard.
He clutched her chin in his hand and stared at her face with his deep eyes.
And just as Elizabeth was on her guard against his doing anything wrong, he released his hold, and said, still very gently, “I've always had a problem with Marvin Bennett, and if you're really from The Bennett family, I'm not going to let you go so easily.”
To avoid worse results, she had to drink as much as she could.
Elizabeth finished her glass, and her stomach began to throb. Just when she thought she was going to get alcohol poisoning tonight, the door of her room was slammed open.
The big guy who was sitting in the middle was startled and it took him a few seconds to recover and said, “Mr. Williams, what brings you here?”
Elizabeth saw Robert Williams in front of her through the pain burning in her stomach.
He was wearing a linen shirt with the cuffs rolled up casually and looked as if he had arrived at a speed.
Mr. Buck looked at him with some surprise.
"The girl is mine," Robert Williams said simply. "From now on, no one is to touch her."
Mr. Buck narrowed his eyes and said, "she said she's Marvin Bennett's sister.”
The big guy was so frightened that his legs went numb. He did not expect that a seemingly insignificant girl should have a relationship with Mr. Williams. Mr. Buck and Mr. Williams were friends, so Mr. Buck had nothing to fear. But he was different, he feared that if Mr. Williams got angry…
