Rex, who was on the second floor, heard the noise from downstairs. He called the servant immediately.
"My Lord, what can I do for you?"
Had it not been for Black who was up and about, even at the wee hours, the servant might have fallen asleep by now. Hence, she was feeling sleepy. However, she answered the phone as soon as she heard it ringing.
"Did Black just go out?" Rex asked with concern. Black was drunk, and Rex was worried that if he went out in this condition, he might run into some trouble.
"Yes, My Lord. Young Master has just stepped out of the house. Should I tell the driver to follow him?" Even the servant was aware that Black was going to drive the car in a drunken state. Naturally, it was a cause of great concern for Rex.
"Tell the driver to get ready and wait for me on the first floor," Rex commanded before he hung up the phone.
Soon after, he was at the gate of their house. He knew that Black had left the house at this time of the night just because of Holley. Rex wanted to see what the hell that woman was doing.
Every car of the Hu Family had GPS installed in them. Hence it was not difficult for Rex to quickly track down the car. Black's car stopped in Holley's neighborhood, which confirmed Rex's assumption. He frowned, feeling helpless. He could not do much, other than being disappointed at his son.
However, much to his surprise, Black headed into a nearby hotel instead of Holley's residence. This left Rex feeling perplexed. He asked the driver to park the car and entered the hotel.
The person who had sent the message to Black had told him the room number. Hence Black headed straightaway towards the fifth floor without even asking the receptionist.
In the room number 506, when Holley had sent a message to Ferry, she got a reply that said, "Leave the door open." Hence, she had obediently kept the door open all the time. In a short while, she saw a man coming in. Initially, she thought it was Ferry, but as she watched carefully, she found him to be a complete stranger.
"Who are you? Get out of here!" Holley thought someone had mistakenly gone into the wrong room. She glared at him and tried to drive him away.
However, this man curved his lips, and a playful smile flashed on his face. He ignored Holley's words and rushed to her directly.
Holley became completely petrified at such an intimidating gesture and tried with all her might to push the man away and run. But she could not match up with his strength. She kept struggling and gasping in his stranglehold as he hissed into her ears.
"Holley Ye, you'd better be well-behaved and listen to me. Boss told me to come. If you want to die, you can go now. Anyway, I won't stop you." The man looked at Holley with sarcasm as he threatened her.
Holley looked into his eyes and her face changed. She was familiar with such an expression. Ferry always liked to look at her in this way. She quivered at the very sight of that look.
As Holley became distracted, the man started to tear off her clothes.
Seeing this, Holley was stunned and struggled again, shouting with panic written on her face, "If you touch me again, I will cry for help!"
"You can cry as much as you want. But then you will be responsible for the consequences." The man glanced at Holley scornfully, as if he was looking at a clown.
Holley was provoked by the man and bit his arm hard. He felt the pain and released her immediately. She seized the chance at once and tried to run out. However, as soon as she reached the door, the man caught her once again.
"I warn you. If you dare to fight back again, I will kill you!" The man looked at Holley with his teeth gritted.
The threat scared Holley to the core. She didn't dare to speak a word, but just goggled at the man, in impotent rage.
