Chapter 222
Her anger didn't bring about the results she wanted. On the contrary, the security guards burst into laughter. One of them said,
"I think you need to get this straight-you have no right to make any demands of us because your employer's only driving a car that's worth half a million. In fact, you don’t even have the right to come up to us and talk to us. If not for that pretty face, you would already be flat on your back."
Their eyes trailed over Erin's body lasciviously. To their surprise, this didn't even make her flinch. The security guard who'd spoken wasn't happy with this, so he raised his voice and said to the guard opposite him, "Look, I was right.
