Chapter 396: Chapter 396: A Love With Nowhere to Go
"Once we pull this off, we’ll be set for life!"
The men all started laughing at the thought.
Just then, one of the men happened to glance at Lily Shaw’s legs. He stroked his chin, a sinister smile creeping onto his face. "Hey, what do you guys say we have a little fun first before we get to work?"
Hearing this, the other four men all turned to look at the woman on the floor. "He’s got a point. This one’s no worse looking than that other little chick..." With that, the man walked over, squatted down beside Lily Shaw, and groped her a couple of times. A lewd grin spread across his face as he said, "And who knows? She might even be a virgin!"
"Hahaha, looks like we really hit the jackpot this time, boys."
The men closed in on Lily Shaw. They dragged her up from the floor and threw her onto a dilapidated bed nearby.
Seeing this, Tristan Grayson knew he couldn’t wait any longer. If he did, Lily Shaw would be violated by these thugs before Ian Shaw could even get there.
He pushed the door open, strode inside, grabbed a broken chair from the floor, and hurled it at them!
The man who had just taken off Lily Shaw’s shoes and was about to stand up took the full force of the blow. He grimaced and roared in pain, "Shit! Who the hell hit me?!"
The other four spun around at the sound, their eyes turning predatory as they fixed on Tristan Grayson.
The man rubbed his back and turned around. When he saw it was Tristan Grayson, his anger flared. "Tristan Grayson!"
"You know me?" Tristan’s eyes darkened as he spoke coldly.
The man’s anger vanished, replaced by a loud, booming laugh. "Hahahaha, what a question! We came here specifically for you, our big-money target!"
The man’s words filled Tristan’s eyes with a complex mix of emotions. He said coolly, "If you’re here for me, then why did you grab her? If you want money, I have plenty. Let her go."
"Hahaha, just what you’d expect from Tridell’s wealthiest man. But we’re not here for money today!"
"Then say what you want."
The man smiled viciously and walked toward Tristan. Just as he got close, he suddenly revealed a small knife and pressed it against Tristan’s body. He slung an arm around Tristan’s shoulder, leaned in close to his ear, and whispered, "We want your life!"

Regardless of whether Gia Miller was telling the truth, Mika Summers ended up going with her.
She knew that if Silas Kent came back and found her gone, he would definitely come looking for her. So, without any more hesitation, she left the hotel with Gia and got into the car.
It was all just like three years ago.
Back then, she had run into Gia Miller at the hospital and had been dragged into a car by her then, too.
Once in the car, Gia Miller stared at her own hands and said with a smile, "Do you know who I’ve hated most in my life?"
"—" Mika turned her head away, her eyes cold. She refused to acknowledge the deranged woman.
"Every single day in prison, I cursed you all. And every single day, I waited for the moment I could get out!"
Seeing Mika ignore her, Gia’s eyes grew red with fury. "You’ll never understand what kind of hell I went through to become like this," she roared.
They were the reason she’d spent three years in prison, while every one of them lived so gloriously.
’Why! Why!’
’All of them... she wouldn’t let a single one get away. Not one...’
