Chapter 558: Liam Chapman snorted in response and nudged the door open. It creaked just a little. The faint hallway light spilled into the room, falling over the bed. A figure lay under the blanket, curled on its side.
"I heard Brenna's a real beauty. What do you say we have a little fun before..." Liam said.
The two men exchanged a laugh, clearly thinking the sthing.
The younger man chuckled with a sleazy grin. "My thoughts exactly." Brenna caught every word. She stayed low, crawling forward under the window inch by inch. From her angle, she caught a glimpse of one man's polished dress shoes. He aimed his gun at the bed.

"We've been tricked!" the younger man shouted.
Panic broke across the men's faces.
They spun around to flee, only to feel the cold muzzle of guns pressed firmly against their skulls.
Shock froze them in place.
Before they could react, more figures stepped inside from the hallway. In seconds, their weapons were stripped away.
The intruders turned to see the wardrobe door swinging open. It hit them then. The person who had them at gunpoint had been hiding inside the wardrobe all along, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Brenna stood up and walked over to them.
"Tell me, who sent you?" she demanded.
Without wasting time, Joe and Tommy pulled out zip ties and bound the two men.
The intruders looked stunned. The older man, the one with the rough voice, asked, "Didn't you drink the bottled water? How are you fine?" Thiago's face darkened. Without a word, he drove his fist into the man's face, making his nose bleed. He had heard what they had intended to do to Brenna.

"Ah!" The hoarse-voiced man let out a strangled scream before collapsing on the floor.
The younger one tried to avoid Thiago's attacks.
But Joe and Tommy were quicker. Even though they thought Thiago had gone a little too far, neither had any sympathy for the two men. They caught the younger man and quickly subdued him.
Thiago didn't hesitate. He swung his leg hard and landed a brutal kick into the younger man's groin. The man crumpled to the floor, writhing in agony.
"Who sent you?" Joe barked and leveled his gun at the two men. M e Tommy did the same.
Then, Joe yanked Liam up by the collar and drove his knee into his side, making him grun in pain. "Talk, or send you straight to hell." To prove he meant it, he squeezed the trigger and fired into the bedding as a warning. Liam flinched. He realized these people weren't here to play games.
