Chapter 24

A loud crash rang out as Charlotte swung the heavy glass ashtray, striking the man squarely on the head. He staggered back, clutching the wound, cursing through gritted teeth. “You crazy bitch! You dare hit me?!”

Without waiting for the others in the private lounge to react, Charlotte darted for the door.

She didn’t even glance at her phone, which had tumbled to the carpet in

the chaos.

Racing down the corridor, she could hear the thunder of footsteps behind her–her pursuers weren’t giving up, and she knew she couldn’t let them catch her. She forced herself onward, never daring to slow.

Suddenly, her breath caught; a wave of dizziness crashed over her, making her vision blur and her knees buckle.

Her body wouldn’t obey–she collapsed to the floor, but somehow managed to cry out, “Help–somebody, please!”

She caught sight of several staff members in the club, but none of them dared to intervene. A flicker of despair flashed through her eyes.

Then a rough hand yanked her up by the hair, another clamping hard over

her mouth.

“Run, huh? Let’s see you run now!” the man snarled, trying to drag her back. Charlotte twisted and lunged, sinking her teeth into the hand over her mouth. The man bellowed in pain, his face twisting with rage as he

raised his hand to strike her.

“Enough!”

A commanding voice cut through the chaos, freezing the man in place.
