Chapter 153 The Danger After The Show


    "Okay, " Daniel said, and watched Rachel leave. She was wearing a grey pleated dress and a coat.


    She looked mature and attractive.


    Seeing Rachel so happy about meeting Hiram gave Daniel mixed emotions.


    But he got rid of that feeling soon. As long as Rachel was happy, he didn''t care about other things.


    In the theater, Rachel looked around at the seats beside her. Everyone there was a rtive or close


    friend of the Rong family. Hiram, Joanna and her were sitting in the middle of the front row, which was


    the best spot to watch the show.


    Hiram had gone outside to make a phone call. A few minutester, he came back and sat next to


    Rachel.


    Rachel grabbed his hand and leaned her head against his shoulder. She felt a little ufortable,


    because everyone around her were members of the Rong family. She, as a new member, was like an


    outsider and didn''t fit in.


    After all, Hiram and her hadn''t had a wedding. She didn''t know many of his rtives. No wonder she


    felt a little nervous.


    Hiram held her hands tightly, which was a greatfort to Rachel. He said, "Don''t worry. Even though


    you don''t know any of them, as long as you know me, everything will be fine."


    The show began soon.


    Surrounded by theatrical smoke and fog,dies dressed in white swanke tutu costumes came onto


    stage one by one. They spun, stretched and leapt on the stage. Their performance was wonderful.


    Rachel had seen this before on television. But watching the show in person in a theater was a


    The stage backdrop was a peacefulke at night. Surrounded by that smoke and fog, the audience felt


    like they were in the scene, too. Those elegant dancers, who were as beautiful as white swans, passed


    by in front of them one by one.


    The audience were a little confused at first, but they gradually began to understand the plot as the


    show developed.


    When Lydia appeared on stage, she amazed the audience, making the Rong family really proud of her.


    She was already beautiful, and now that she was dancing ballet, she looked even more attractive and


    elegant. It was said that she had started to learn ballet at a very young age and she hadn''t quitted


    ballet even after going to the US to study.


    The audience were so absorbed in the show that they didn''t feel the time passed.


    Soon, it was almost the end of the show.

    Some of the audience started to leave.


    Except the people in the first row.


    When the show finally ended, Lydia came down from the stage to greet the Rong family, still wearing


    the same costume.


    "Joanna, you''re so lucky. Look how beautiful Lydia is! I wonder which lucky man will marry her!" said


    one of the uncles, looking at Lydia. He couldn''t helpplimenting her.


    "That''s for sure. Our Lydia, is a great beauty!" Shirley said proudly.


    "Yeah, when Lydia was a little girl, she was already very pretty. Shirley, it is ten now. It''s gettingte. I


    guess we can go home together." Miranda checked her watch. It waste. Her mother-inw was sick


    today so she hadn''te to the show.


    "Oh, Miranda, let me stay with Lydia for a few more minutes…" Shirley said, twitching her mouth.


    Miranda shook her head andughed. "When we left the house tonight, mom asked me to bring you


    home early. It''s dangerous at night. Let''s go!"


    "Shirley, listen to Miranda. Go. I have to change my clothester and then go home!" Lydia said, patting


    Shirley on her shoulder.


    Shirley pouted and left with Miranda reluctantly.


    Other people started to leave, too.


    Soon, only Hiram, Rachel, Joanna and Chad were left in the theater.


    Lydia had gone to the backstage to change her clothes. Hiram was nning to drive Joanna and Lydia


    home first.


    Rachel agreed.


    The Rong family was very precious, so it made sense for Hiram to make such a decision.


    However, as time passed, other dancers had already changed their clothes ande out, but Lydia


    was still nowhere to be seen.


    "What happened to Lydia? What''s taking her so long?" Joanna was bing a little impatient. She


    paced back and forth worriedly.


    "How about this? Mom, I''ll go to the backstage and check it out. Just wait here for a few moments, "


    Rachel said.


    Hiram, who was trying to call Lydia, put down his phone and said, "I guess she hasn''t finished. She


    didn''t answer my call. Go inside and find her. Call me if you have any problems. I''ll wait here for you."


    Rachel nodded her head and walked towards the stage.


    Hiram walked Rachel to the hallway of the backstage. He was going to follow her when Chad walked to


    him and said, "Hiram, he''s asking for you." Chad gave the phone to Hiram.


    "Thanks." Hiram took the phone and watched Rachel walk on the hallway. He turned around to answer


    his phone.


    Since the show had ended, many of the lights had been turned off. Walking in the dark hallway scared


    Rachel a little.


    "Lydia?


    Where are you?


    Are you done? Lydia…"


    Rachel kept asking while she walked inside. When she saw the dressing room, she opened the door


    and walked into the room, but no one was there.


    In case she had missed something, she opened all the doors one by one.


    Everyone was gone, so she didn''t have to worry about bothering others.


    "Lydia? Where are you? Could you answer me?"


    Rachel opened another door. But this room was dark inside, Which was a little strange because the


    previous rooms she had opened had all been lit up. This was the only one that was dark.


    "Lydia? Are you there?" Rachel asked. Suddenly, she noticed a foot. Although it was dark, she was


    sure that it was a man''s foot.


    She furrowed her eyebrows and loosened her grip on the door knob immediately, getting ready to


    leave.


    She had gone through this before, and she knew exactly what was going to happen.


    If she was right, someone was trying to kidnap Lydia.


    She couldn''t deal with this situation on her own. She needed help!


    "Rachel, run! Find Hiram and save me!"


    Lydia shouted at her just as she was about to close the door. Immediately, the lights in the room were


    turned on.


    "Rachel? Is she the daughter-inw of that old fox? Be quick! Catch her!" said a man in the room with


    his husky voice.


    At that moment, Rachel smiled coldly, like she was drowning in the cold sea.


    But she didn''t hesitate to run. She tried her best to run to the other end of the hallway. But in her


    nervousness, she had run into a dead end. The exit was on the other end.


    "Be quick! Help me tie her up!"


    Rachel turned her head to look at the four unknown men chasing her. Panicking, she kicked a tripod


    beside her.


    When the four men were about to catch her, Rachel exerted herself and pulled down the whole tripod!


    It crashed with such a huge sound that Hiram, who was waiting outside, became alert immediately!
