Chapter 576

“If it weren’t for you, I’d have no way with him my entire life.”

It was tough enough to deal with Tyler alone, not to mention adding the Lewis family into the mix. Fighting a single wolf was easy, but fighting an entire pack was a different thing altogether.

None of that mattered now, though – they no longer posed a threat to Howard.

Rachel tried to calm herself down. She tried to lower Howard’s guard by talking to him while paying attention to her surroundings.

Thankfully, they were driving down a straight road. Running away from this place wouldn’t be difficult.

Very soon, the car entered an abandoned ironworks factory. Rachel and Sheryl were dragged inside.

One of the men had his eyes on Sheryl and caressed her face lewdly. Sheryl spat on his face, disgusted by his approach.

“Take your filthy hand off me! Look at yourself – how dare you even lay a finger on me? I’m telling you, if my cousin knows, he’ll never spare you!”

Others might not have dared to do anything to Sheryl, but they were completely drunk and inebriated. The alcohol in their blood boosted their resolve.

After staring at Sheryl for a moment, the man slapped her hard across her cheek. “Who do you think you are, spitting at me? Consider yourself lucky that I fancy you, you ungrateful twat!”

He then requested of Howard, “Mr. Ziegler, on account of my loyalty to you over the years, give me this woman as my reward.”

A wicked grin stretched across Howard’s face, sending a shiver down Sheryl’s spine.

“Don’t panic. I guarantee you’ll have a good time later on. Leave her to me, and you guys can have your fill of fun with Sheryl on one condition: wait for me to be done here.”

“Of course, of course! We’ll do whatever you tell us to, Mr. Ziegler.”

They didn’t think Howard would actually take a life, and merely assumed that he was just playing a harmless joke. He had done this to a lot of other women in the past, after all.

After the man slapped her, Sheryl started yelling even louder. “How dare you slap me! Who do you think you are? I’m telling you, my cousin won’t spare you when he finds out what you did to me!”

“Tsk! Let’s talk about that if you can walk out of this place alive. And didn’t you hear what Mr. Ziegler just said? Your cousin has been abandoned by the Lewis family. What would someone like that be capable of? I heard that you’ve been doing lots of bar-hopping these days. You’re no different from us. Why bother acting all high-and-mighty and dignified?”

With that, he caressed Sheryl’s neck and pulled her close, forcing a kiss on her cheek.

Sheryl exploded at once.

“Scram and don’t touch me – ahh!”

She shrieked in pain once more when the man gave her another hard slap.

“You’d better behave in front of me, or I guarantee you’ll suffer!”

One of the men stationed outside on the lookout approached Howard and informed him, “Mr. Ziegler, Tyler Hunt is here.”

Howard immediately straightened his back, a solemn look on his face.

“Is he here alone?”

“Yes, he is.”

“I knew he wouldn’t bring anyone with him. If we weren’t at loggerheads with each other, I do admire his guts. Alright, tear some of their clothes off them and drag them out.”
