?Chapter 677:


    Keith’s eyes narrowed into slits, his voice ice-cold. “What are you nning?”


    A sly smile yed on Cecil’s lips. “I’ve obtained a unique concoction from overseas. It’s miraculous—just a hint of it, and even the proudest woman will be a slut, utterly helpless against her desires.”


    Keith paused, a warning from his father echoing in his mind. “Be careful with her. She’s clever and not to be underestimated. If we’re taking her down, it needs to be wless—nothing she can link back to us.”


    Cecil thumped his chest, his confidence unwavering. “Trust me, Keith. I’ve got this covered.”


    Within the safety of Keith’s embrace, a small, triumphant smile curled the corners of Elyse’s lips. Elena was about to get torn to fucking pieces!


    With Elyse, the instigator, finally out of the way and the news of Javier bing the new owner of the club, Javier’s young teammates let out a collective sigh of relief, knowing their positions were secure. To celebrate this newfound stability, they decided to invite Elena to a barbecue.


    At the chosen barbecue spot, the teammates ordered a few bottles to mark the asion. Pouring beer into both his and Elena’s sses, Javier couldn’t hide his enthusiasm. “Elena, without your help, we might have lost the club. We owe you big time. Cheers!”


    With a quick motion, he tipped his head back and finished his drink in one go.


    “Ahem, ahem…” Not used to drinking, Javier choked slightly on the beer, coughing as he covered his mouth. Despite his eyes reddening from choking, his eyes sparkled with genuine happiness. His grin never wavered, and his joy was obvious to everyone around him.


    The excitement was just as evident among the rest of the group. Everyone raised their sses in Elena’s honor.


    Since the beer was light on alcohol, Elena saw no harm in letting the celebration continue.


    The gatheringsted for two full hours. Once the bill was settled, Elena made arrangements for everyone to get a ride back to the club.


    Elena entered the restroom and took off her jacket, which now smelled strongly of barbecue. She wiped the grease from her hands with a tissue. As she looked up, a reflection in the mirror caught her eye. A frown formed as she sensed something off about the gaze staring back at her. Just then, a peculiar scent drifted to her.


    Something wasn’t right!

    Instinctively, Elena held her breath, but she was a second toote. She had inhaled a trace of the strange fragrance.


    She spun around quickly, her face turning to shock as she realized two men had appeared behind her out of nowhere.


    Darkness clouded her sight, and her consciousness slipped away in an instant.


    A tall figure easily hoisted Elena’s limp body onto his shoulder, navigated through the back exit, and swiftly left the barbecue venue.


    Back at the hotel, Elyse and Cecil were awaiting Elena’s arrival.


    Cecil sped his hands with eager anticipation, his grin wide and his eyes shining with excitement. He recalled his brief encounter with Elena. Her beauty was captivating, highlighted by her slender figure and especially her graceful, straight legs—a sight he couldn’t help but admire.


    As his associates entered with Elena, Cecil’s excitement heightened. “No witnesses, correct?”


    “Absolutely,” one of his associates confirmed. “We entered through the back. The cameras didn’t see a thing.”
