In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 502

"You're teasing me, Mr. Barnes. Let's get back to business."

Albert nodded, and both of them dove into the topic.

…

Meanwhile, because of the necklace incident with Kayla, Lydia was busy drafting some new designs. After pulling an all-nighter, she finally came up with a design that she was satisfied with.

She looked out the window and stretched. Just as she was about to go to her bedroom to get some rest, the doorbell rang.

She found it strange.

People rarely showed up on her doorstep. Who could be there so early in the morning?

As she walked out of the study, she called out, "Who is it?"

There was no answer.

She opened the doorbell camera, but she didn't see anyone standing at the door. Just as she turned around to leave, someone rang the doorbell again.

This time, a man's voice sounded out of the blue. "We're here to check the water meter. Please open the door."

Lydia didn't think too much of it and opened the door. However, in the next second, a few buff men barged in, giving her a fright.

"Who are you? What are you doing?"

A man compared her face to a photo he had. "Are you Lydia York?" he asked.

Lydia turned to flee, but the man saw right through her. He moved quickly and stopped her.

"Trying to get away? You're in my hands now. Where do you think you can go?"

"What are you doing? Don't come near me! Get lost! Don't touch me!"

Despite Lydia's struggles, the men grabbed her and held a cloth over her mouth. A moment later, she lost consciousness.
