Chapter 479

The men behind him laughed along with him. “Yeah. How could it be fun for you girls to drink on your own? You need a little something to spice your night up. Let us do that for you.”

Tessa knitted her brows as she watched these men who had just approached them.—.. The rest of the people wore looks of displeasure on their faces as well. Kathleen wasn’t interested in these young men, so she reprimanded them in a high-pitched voice. “How dare cheap men like you guys come over to hit on me? Get lost.” But the more she played hard-to-get, the more those men craved for her.

“This girl’s a feisty one. I like her,” one said.

“I like her too,” another one said. All of the men began to scan Kathleen from head to toe. She could sense the men’s perverted gazes all over her, and she fumed at the thought of these men checking her out. How dare these rotten apples look at me like that? “Take your eyes off of me!” she hissed.

Right after that, she picked up her glass of alcohol before splashing it at the man, who looked like the group leader of those men. The man had never been treated that way, so he lost his temper immediately. “F*ck! Get her!” The rest of his men didn’t dare to disobey his words, so they immediately followed his orders. The reason was simple—the man who had just been splashed was also the young master of the Abrams Family, Colin Abrams.

The rest of the men weren’t as well off as Colin was, so Colin was naturally the head of their pack.

Although Tessa and the rest of them attempted to stop his men, they were one step too late. The men grabbed onto Kathleen’s arms and brought her over to him. “Let me go. Let go of me!” she howled as she thrashed her limbs angrily.

Unfortunately, her actions were of no use at all-she wasn’t able to resist the grip of two strong men with her limited strength. Then, he wiped off the alcohol on his face as he glared at her. Finally, he gripped her chin harshly before curving his lips into a cunning smile. “You’re pretty aggressive for a foreigner.”

Kathleen couldn’t contain her anger-she spat directly in the man’s face. Colin couldn’t dodge her spit in time, so her saliva splattered all over his face. He froze for a moment before he twisted his expression into one of rage. Then, in a split second, he slapped her across her face. “You b*tch! I was nice enough to be interested in you. You got lucky there! If you don’t satisfy me tonight, I’ll make sure you’re miserable for the rest of your life!”

He grew up as the treasured child of a powerful family, and there were only a few people in Southend who had the guts to go against him. So, naturally, he didn’t feel the need to show any respect to a foreigner like Kathleen. She was so furious that she felt like she would lose her mind.

Kathleen, too, had been pampered since she was a child. So, she had never been shamed in such a manner before this incident. After giving Colin a furious glare, she addressed the rest of the orchestra members. “Are you guys dead? Why aren’t you guys coming over to help me?!”

Tessa and the others immediately hurried over to help her out. Although they were women, they largely outnumbered the small group of men, so they soon managed to rescue Kathleen out of the man’s grip.

Kathleen was shocked, and she instantly hid behind the backs of the other girls after she was saved.

Colin was infuriated to see that his prey had escaped his grip. “You guys are useless!” he hissed. After cursing at his men, he turned to fix his hostile gaze on Tessa and the rest of the girls. “I won’t allow you guys to leave until you guys give me an explanation today.” With that said, he pulled his phone out to make a call. In less than a minute, a group of well-trained bodyguards appeared in the hall, and all of them were dressed in black suits. When he saw that his bodyguards had arrived, he pointed a finger in Tessa and the other girls’ direction. “I want you guys to surround them,” he ordered in an arrogant tone.

“Yes, sir!” The leader of the bodyguards shouted before he instructed the rest of his subordinates to form a human barrier around Tessa and the other girls.

All of the girls’ expressions dimmed when they saw the size of the bodyguards. They knew that they were no match for these bodyguards. “What should we do now? Should we call the police?” one asked.

“It’s too late to call the police,” another commented.

“What should we do, then?” another one asked. All of them were communicating in hushed voices. Like the others, Tessa knitted her brows as she began to think of what she could do. Kathleen hid behind the group of people, with her face filled with worry and frustration.
