Too Late, Mr. Billionaire: You Can’t Afford Me Now

Chapter 150 Hopeless Romantic

“Hey, are you listening?”

Noticing Hadley frozen in place, the assailant grabbed her arm impatiently and pulled her up.

“Hadley!”

Next to her, Elissa attempted to intervene but was quickly subdued at gunpoint. “Don’t move!”

“And you over there!”

Another dancer from Red Choreography, roughly Hadley’s height, was forcefully taken alongside Hadley from the dressing room.

A fleeting look passed between Hadley and the dancer, both were pale and shaking, uncertain of their fate…

The police had encircled the theater by now.

Using a megaphone, they attempted to communicate with the captors inside.

“Attention, everyone inside…”

“We have nothing to discuss! We’re going to blow this place up today!”

“Please, think this through!”

The assailants showed no interest in negotiating.

Negotiations appeared to be at an impasse.

Back inside, the theater’s main stage remained hidden behind an unopened curtain. Both Hadley and the dancer were unconscious and bound to chairs.

Eric, disguised in a security guard’s outfit, slipped through the curtains and onto the stage.

“Hadley!”

He dropped to one knee before her. But she gave no response.

Instead, it was the girl next to Hadley who, stirred by the noise, weakly opened her eyes.

She caught sight of Eric and started to speak.

“Keep quiet if you want to make it out of here!” Eric warned her sharply.

Her eyes darted open in surprise, blinking quickly instead of giving the usual nod.

Eric sensed that something was amiss.

She looked toward him and silently motioned upwards.

Just then, Eric noticed that both Hadley and the girl were balancing a beam on their heads.
