The Unwanted Daughter When Love Comes Too Late novel Chapter 286

Chapter 286 A Sealed Room

Meanwhile, inside a black SUV trailing the van, Ronald overheard the two men’s conversation.

His face was tense, his aura heavy, and something sharp flickered in his eyes.

About thirty minutes later, the van finally stopped. Tracy was yanked out roughly by the two men.

She cracked her eyes open just enough to glance around and realized they were at a hotel she knew all too well–Sometime Hotel.

It was the same place where, after coming back from the academy, she had publicly beaten up Simon in front of everyone.

No wonder Simon chose this hotel–he clearly hadn’t forgotten that humiliation.

Tracy quickly shut her eyes again, pretending to stay unconscious. No one noticed her reaction.

The men hauled her out of the elevator and down a long hallway.

Just then, a door opened nearby, and two men in suits stepped out.

The man in front had striking features and carried himself with an air of cold authority. He radiated the kind of power that made others lower their gaze.

The second man, wearing thin–framed glasses, looked like his assistant.

As they crossed paths, the men holding Tracy instinctively bowed their heads and shuffled to the side, trying to be invisible.

The cold, commanding man hadn’t even glanced at them at first. He was ready to walk by- until his gaze suddenly caught Tracy’s face.

His steps faltered.

It’s her.

The two men escorting Tracy exchanged nervous looks; they grew worried.

One quickly forced a laugh and said, “Little sister here… Well, she hasn’t seen her boyfriend in a while. She drank too much tonight, but lucky for her, she’s got her big brother to look out for her.”

The other caught on immediately and chimed in, “Don’t worry. She’s my girlfriend. I’ll take good care of her.”

They hurried off with Tracy toward the corner, their voices light and casual.

The cold–eyed man stood there silently, watching until they disappeared from sight. Only then did he speak. “Look into this.”

His assistant lifted his head, startled.

They were supposed to be traveling under the radar in Cloudville. Getting involved could be dangerous.

Still, he would never dare defy the order. Bowing his head, he replied quickly, “Yes, sir.”

What right did she have?

His grin twisted darker. “Tell me the truth, tramp, weren’t you always waiting for me to have you like this?”

Tracy snapped her head to the side, shaking off his hand, her brows furrowing deeply.

According to Ivy’s plan, Simon was only supposed to tie her up and act as if he was going to kill her just to scare her.

But the way he looked at her now, the tone in his voice—this wasn’t part of the plan at all.

Unease rippled through her chest. Slowly, carefully, she began working at the ropes around her wrists.

As she thought through her next move, Ivy’s voice suddenly rang out from across the room. “Mr. Dunn, this isn’t what we agreed on. You’ve got five men crowded into a locked room with one woman. Planning to do that and even record it? Don’t you think that’s going too far?”

The words struck like ice. Behind the blindfold, Tracy’s face went pale, her whole body rigid.

The room was sealed. Men. A camera.

In that instant, memories she had buried deep came crashing back, raw terror clawing its way to the surface.

When she saw the file from Ivy, she had known Simon’s threats would never be gentle, but this -this was something far worse than she expected.
