Chapter 521

About ten minutes later, Charlene excused herself to go to the restroom with a few others.

She had just pushed open the restroom door and noticed someone inside. About to apologize and step back out, she was suddenly grabbed from behind a hand clamped over her mouth and nose. She barely had time to react before her vision blurred and consciousness slipped away.

The woman who had drugged Charlene quickly teamed up with her accomplice waiting outside. Together, they disguised Charlene as best they could, then supported her as they hurried out of the restroom, keeping their heads down to avoid attracting attention from the PrimeStar people nearby. After finally making it out the main door and just as they were about to help Charlene into a waiting car, someone blocked their path.

At the same moment, Thorne's phone rang.

He listened to the caller on the other end, then stood up and turned to the two executives beside him. "Something's come up-I'll have to excuse myself. Let's catch up another time."

Seeing Thorne leave, Coy followed after him down the stairs.

By the time they reached the bar's entrance, the people who had abducted Charlene were already in custody.

Coy was stunned at the sight of Charlene, clearly unconscious.
