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

Chapter 177 Give Her Back

To Me

Eric’s expression turned sharp. “Talk now!”

Phillips shifted uneasily, finally speaking, “The taxi… They’ve located it.”

“What about Hadley?”

Reluctantly, Phillips shook his head. “Still no sign of her.”

Rage erupted instantly within Eric. “Then why are you even bothering to tell me?”

Embarrassed, Phillips stared silently at the floor, unable to defend himself.

Denver, however, noticed something alarming in their conversation. “Are you saying Hadley is missing?”

This was why Eric had come here he was searching for Hadley?

Observing Denver’s startled response, Eric realized immediately that Hadley wasn’t here after all.

“Phillips, we’re leaving.”

“Yes, Mr. Flynn.”

“Hold it right there!”

But Denver wouldn’t let him walk away easily this time; he grasped Eric’s shoulder firmly, asking “What exactly happened to Hadley?”

Witnessing Eric’s frantic state reminded Denver suddenly of their heated confrontation earlier that day–hadn’t he and Eric just exchanged harsh words over her?

Anger flared uncontrollably inside Denver, shattering all caution. “Eric! Did you do something to Hadley? Did you hurt her?”

Silently, Eric turned his head aside, neither confirming nor denying

Though he’d never exactly laid a hand on her, Eric knew the pain he’d inflicted was just as damaging.

“You!”

Denver’s patience snapped completely, and he hissed furiously, “Eric, you bastard!”

Denver grabbed Eric by the collar, his anger boiling over. “You’re pathetic! How dare you raise your hand against Hadley?”

Immediately, Denver’s fist crashed toward Eric’s face.
