Chapter 345 Strip Her
Clothes
As the clock struck eleven in the evening and Renee was on the brink of sleep, her phone rang with a call from Ryland’s number.
However, it was a man claiming to be a bartender who was on the line.
“Hello, is this Renee Carter?” the voice inquired.
“Yes, who is this? Why do you have Ryland’s phone?” Renee responded, her brow furrowing in concern.
“Mr. Flynn got drunk at our bar. Could you come over and take him home?”
“Call someone named Claude Perez from his contacts and ask him to pick him up,”
Renee suggested.
After a brief pause, the man on the other end replied, “We already called him. He said he’s on a business trip and isn’t in Tofral!”
Without much hesitation, Renee said with a sigh, “Alright. Send me the address and I’ll
come over now.”
She then hung up, quickly got dressed, and left her house quietly, careful not to disturb William and Felix, who were deep in sleep.
The chilly night air greeted her as she stepped outside, prompting her to tighten her coat. She rushed to the bar according to the address sent by the bartender, but upon entering, she immediately felt something was off.
The bar was nearly empty, populated only by a few men. Their tough, muscular appearance and the way they stared at her seemed oddly out of place.
Feeling a surge of apprehension, Renee kept her calm and pretended to search for Ryland while she planned her exit.
The men’s leering made her increasingly uncomfortable. Suddenly, a tall man with a sinister smile emerged from a corner, announcing, “Ms. Carter, we’ve been waiting for

you.”
Confused, Renee played along. “Who are you? Where’s Ryland? I’m here to pick him
up.”
The man chuckled and replied, “Ryland? Oh, Ryland! He’s in a private room. Follow me,
please.”
Renee’s heart dropped as she realized the situation was a setup, but she maintained her composure. “Please bring him out. I’ll wait here.”
The man pressed, “Ms. Carter, it’s better if you come with us. Mr. Flynn refuses to let us
touch him!”
With a faint smile, Renee countered, “Is that so?” Then, looking up sternly, she demanded, “How do you know my surname?”
The man was momentarily caught off guard but quickly recovered, stating, “It’s noted on Mr. Flynn’s phone!”
“Nonsense! Ryland’s phone doesn’t have my full name saved! Who are you really? Where’s Ryland?!” Renee challenged, her anger rising.
Furious, Renee was determined not to let Ryland come to harm once more.
Realizing their ruse had been discovered, the man let his facade fall and a sinister smile crept across his face. “They say you are not only stunningly beautiful but also incredibly smart. Today proves that true. Ms. Carter, we don’t want to complicate things. If you cooperate, no harm will come to you,” he propositioned smoothly.
“Is that so?” Renee replied skeptically, while covertly reaching into her pocket to call William. But the man was vigilant and swiftly grabbed her hand.
Renee quickly attempted to counter with her free hand, but as she did, several men from around the bar closed in and restrained her!
Overwhelmed by the number, Renee found herself forcibly held down on the bar
counter.
“Sorry, Ms. Carter. We’re aware of your skills, so we’ve brought in some specialists to ensure you’re handled properly. Hope you don’t mind,” the leader taunted.
“Shame on you! Can’t handle a woman without resorting to such cowardly tactics?” Renee retorted disdainfully.
Laughing maliciously, he ordered, “Since you’re so curious about our capabilities, we’ll
just have to demonstrate. Tie her up!”
“What do you want from me?” Renee demanded, stalling for time. “If it’s money, I can give it to you. Just let me go, and I’ll pretend today never happened,” she bargained.
The man burst into laughter. “Money? We don’t need it. Someone paid us handsomely
to teach you a lesson! Now, guys, strip her clothes!” he commanded harshly.
