The poor girl looked miserable and terror-stricken and Ashlyn couldn’t help but pity her.
Ashlyn was just about to hold her up when a middle-aged man whose face was red with anger rushed out of nowhere to try to grab her.
This angered Ashlyn and she swiftly blocked his path before he could touch the girl.
The man became even more furious.
“Who the hell are you? Why don’t you mind your own business and get out of my way!”
But Ashlyn neither responded nor allowed him access to the girl.So, he reached around Ashlyn to grab her.
Immediately, Ashlyn’s leg flew out and she gave him a hard kick.
The man was sent straight to the ground.
“You bitch!” he cursed as he held his belly, groaning in severe pain.
“I swear, I’ll…”
But before he could finish the statement, Ashlyn lifted her leg threateningly.
The man shrank and shuddered in fear.He had tasted that leg once, he didn’t want to again.
Instead, he scowled at the girl he had been trying to capture.
“Do you want to get fired? Before it’s too late, you had better go back.Go serve Mr.Winston and apologize to him.”
“No! I won’t! I’m done! I quit! I won’t ever go back again! Ma‘am, please help me.Take me away from here.I just recently graduated from university.This man deceived me and lured me here.He told me this was going to be just a business trip.I didn’t know he was planning to force me to sleep with someone.”
Ashlyn immediately understood the situation the poor girl was in.
Right there and then, she pulled out her phone and dialed the police.
Then she said to the man, ‘I’m calling the police right now.Do you want to stick around and wait for them? The crime you have committed is a very grievous one.”
Still clutching his hurting belly, the man cursed and grumbled angrily as he stumbled up on his feet.Then he hurried back to where he had come from as fast as his legs could carry him.
As soon as the man left, the girl Ashlyn was holding up collapsed to the floor, crying.
Ashlyn squatted down beside her and said, “It’s no use crying here.Where do you live? Let me take you home.”
The girl’s crying abated at her words.
She looked at Ashlyn for a long minute before she said, “Thank you.I’m staying in this hotel, but I don’t think I can be here anymore.My luggage and ID card are still in the room.Can you come with me while I collect my luggage?”
Ashlyn had rarely seen anyone as pitiful as she had once been.
She got to her feet and pulled the girl up, saying, “Let’s go.”
The girl was still sniffling, her head down, when they entered the elevator.
Ashlyn couldn’t help but laugh at this sight.
“It’s fortunate that there’s no one else in here, or people would think that I’ve done something to you.”
The girl looked embarrassed at her words.
‘I’m sorry, I just can’t help it.”
Ashlyn pulled out a tissue from her bag and handed it to her.
“It’s okay.Don’t cry.Take this as a lesson and make sure you don’t find yourself in such a situation again.”
The girl took the tissue and looked gratefully at Ashlyn.
“Thank you.I wouldn’t know what to do if I hadn’t met you.”
“Don’t be afraid.We live in a society ruled by law.You can call the police,” Ashlyn said.
“They took away my phone.”
Ashlyn stopped short at this.
After a pause, she said, “It’s all right now.Don’t be afraid.”
“Thank you.You are a good person.” Ashlyn laughed.
This was the first time that someone had called her a good person.
“I’m usually not such a good person.”
She was not that kind-hearted.
If the girl hadn’t pounced on her, she would have stayed out of it all.
The girl wiped her tears and said nothing.
The elevator stopped and Ashlyn walked out.
She turned to look at the girl and asked, “Do you have the room card?”
The girl nodded and said, “! took it with me when I escaped.But my ID card is in the room.”
Ashlyn smiled.
“You are smart.”
Maybe it was because of Ashlyn that the girl’s fear gradually reduced.
They made their way to the room that the girl pointed out.
The girl pulled out the card, but she didn’t dare open the door.She looked at Ashlyn timidly.
This was the first time that Ashlyn was seeing such a timid person.
This girl was even more timid than Jessie.
She took the card from the girl and said, “What are you afraid of? Do you think they’re waiting for you inside?”
Ashlyn swiped the card on the door and it opened with a beep.She pushed it open, glanced inside, and turned to look at the girl.
“No one.You…”
But before she could finish that thought, the girl pushed her into the room.
The girl’s timid eyes turned sharp.
Ashlyn staggered backwards.
A person emerged from behind the door and caught her from behind, catching her off guard.
Before she could react, the man pushed something into her mouth.He then pushed her to the floor.
By the time she stood up, the door had slammed shut.She pulled at the door handle and as expected, found it to be locked.It was obviously not easy to be a good person.
She hadn’t see this coming.
Ashlyn made to reach for her phone but realized that it was in her bag and they had taken her bag away.She frowned and walked deeper into the room, only to find that there was someone in the bed.Her ex-husband!
Ashlyn frowned as she saw Gordon in the bed.
“Gordon?” she called, but there was no response.
Gordon seemed to be asleep.
Ashlyn went closer to the bed and put her hand under his nose to see if he was still breathing.
Fortunately, he was.
And she breathed a sigh of relief.
The door of the room was locked and her cell phone was not with her.
If there was something seriously wrong with Gordon, she would be left with no choice but to break the door or jump out of the window to get help.
Fortunately, it was nothing seemingly serious.He had simply passed out.
With another sigh, Ashlyn went back to the sofa and sat down heavily.
What had happened tonight was obviously a well-organized plot.
It seemed the girl and those men had brought Gordon and hid him in the room and then waited for her to come.
Obviously, all three of them were part of the same team.
But what surprised Ashlyn was that despite the fact that both she and Gordon were known to be rich, they were just brought into the room without getting killed or robbed.
What could be the motive? Ashlyn tried to think of who could do something like this, but she just couldn’t come up with anything.
She just couldn’t think of who could lock her and her ex-husband up together and what such a person would gain from doing it.
She sat thinking about the whole incident over and over again until all of a sudden, she remembered that she had been given a pill before being pushed into the room.
Immediately, she jumped up and rushed to the bathroom to try to vomit it.
She retched as hard as she could, but it was all to no avail.She couldn’t get anything out.She eventually gave up and washed her face with some cool water since she was already beginning to sweat.
