Chapter 215 Trapped
The dressing room had one of those big wardrobes with two doors.
And just as the thought flashed through her mind, she heard a rustling sound from inside the wardrobe.
The color drained from Lily's face. Her entire body tensed. She didn’t go check-it was too risky Instead, she
backed up, pressing herself flat against the wall, eyes fixed on the wardrobe.

A second later, the doors creaked open, and two short, wiry men stepped out.
They weren't tall, but their arms were roped with lean muscle-clearly trained, and dangerous. One look at the
menace in their eyes, and she knew they weren't here to talk.
There was no way she could overpower them.
Her heart pounded furiously in her chest as she desperately searched for an escape.
But the door was locked tight. She was trapped-caged like a bird, with nowhere to run.
“Lily?
They already knew who she was. They must've seen her photo before coming.
In an age where filters were everywhere, they had assumed her pictures were heavily edited.
What they hadn't expected was that in real life, she was even more stunning than in the photos-by a mile. The
two exchanged a quick glance, then swallowed hard in unison, dark and twisted desires sparking in
their eyes.
But Wendy had given them strict orders-not to push too far, not to make Lily feel cornered enough to do
something reckless. They needed to get the photos, not provoke a catastrophe.
Besides, if they got the five million Wendy promised, they could sleep with all the women they wanted. Sure,

“What do you want?” Lily forced herself to stay calm, her voice sharp. “Did Wendy and Elsa send you? How much
are they paying you? | can pay you more. Just letleave.”
One of them laughed, a low, cruel sound. He had a skull tattoo on his left arm. “You think we're that stupid? If we
let you go now, you're not gonna pay us. You'll call the cops.
His voice turned colder. “We don’t want to rough up a pretty little thing like you. So how about this-take your
clothes off, let us snap a few photos, and we'll let you walk out of here. Sound good?”
Lily understood immediately.
Elsa and Wendy wanted blackmail photos-shots of her completely exposed, humiliated.
With pictures like that, they could force her into settling. She wouldn't want such images inteShe’d have no
choice but to give in

But there was no way she was going to let that happen.
She had already tested James in secret. Her only option now was to stall for time
“Ten million.
She pressed herself tighter to the wall and kept her voice steady. “I won't call the police. Giveyour account
number-I'll transfer the money right now. If ten million isn’t enough, I'll double it.”
The two men looked at each other.
For a moment, they hesitated. Wendy had only paid a one-million deposit. Even with the balance, that would
only be six million.
Lily's offer blew that out of the water.
Temptation flickered in their eyes.
But they didn't trust her. One of them
sneered. “You? Please. Everyone
knows you're just sqmewastied tp

Like hell you have twenty million. Quit
wasting our tand take your
clothes off. Don't push your luck.”
“I have money.”
Lily didn’t want to bring up her relationship with James-especially not to these two. But she wasn’t stupid. She
knew when to use leverage, even if it meant bluffing.

think they gan compete with the
wealth of the richest family in the
country? You really want to risk
pissing off the Luke family for them?”
At the mention of the Luke family, both men blanched.
James had been in a coma for four years.
But his reputation still carried weight. His brilliance, his ruthlessness-everyone knew who he was. No one wanted
to cross him.
One of them muttered under his breath, “Is she really James’ wife?”
“Who knows? But Madam Luke's defended her before. And with a face like that, she probably did manage to
hook him. If she’s really the Luke family’s daughter-in-law... maybe this isn’t worth it.”
“We can’t let her go! If we do, she’ll send Madam Luke after us, and we're dead. But if we get those photos? She
won't dare touch us. Hell, she’ll probably pay us herself to keep quiet.”
The other nodded, eyes hard. He
