Too Late, Mr. Billionaire: You Can't Afford Me by Thedora Birnir

Chapter 214

Chapter 214 Save Me,

Please

Astrid fumbled with Hadley’s clothing, visibly confused. “What’s this? Why can’t I undo it?”

Hadley’s dancewear was designed with hidden fasteners, a detail only someone familiar with such clothes would recognize.

With a barely audible, cold chuckle and heavy breaths, Hadley instructed, “It’s at the back, around the waist.”

“Is that so?”

Astrid, bold yet not without her foolishness, quickly leaned over, her hands searching for the fasteners at Hadley’s back.

But something didn’t feel right.

Pausing, Astrid sensed a trap–why would Hadley even guide her to undress herself?

“Ah!”

Suddenly, a scream shattered the silence of the warehouse.

Hadley took advantage of Astrid’s closeness, forcefully driving her knee into Astrid’s midsection.

As a skilled dancer, her movements were not only graceful but precise, wielding her physical strength with exacting control.

Her limbs were restrained; yet not completely immobilized.

A powerful kick from Hadley sent the young Astrid flying backward, landing her directly against a wooden crate with a resounding crash. The impact was so severe it seemed her spine might have cracked.

“Ah, ah…”

Struggling for breath, Astrid clutched her abdomen, her voice seething with anger as she pointed at Hadley. “You’ll regret this, just wait…”

Then, turning her head with difficulty, she called out, “Soren!”

“Right here!”

Soren, a typical street tough, hadn’t strayed too far. He burst into the room upon hearing Astrid shout.

What’s wrong, Astrid?” He looked from Astrid to Hadley. “Did she do this?”

“Take off her clothes!” Astrid grimaced in pain, fury contorting her features. “And start taking pictures!”

“But…”

“Do it now!”

“Alright, alright!”

Without hesitation, Soren stepped forward, cracking his wrists in preparation.

“You think you’re brave for attacking Astrid?” He sneered at Hadley. “We’ll see how strong you really are!”

Soren’s approach was far more aggressive than Astrid’s. With a swift motion, he grasped Hadley’s collar and ripped it, tearing her shirt apart.

Chilled by the sudden exposure to cold air, Hadley couldn’t help but shiver.
