"No, I'm not leaving!" She struggled 'hard.' Due to her struggle, the group of people still stood in front of him, not moving much.
She adjusted the position of being caught so that her clothes were 'inadvertently' rippled a little, making her whole person look a bit more charming.
The men who caught her stared at her chest with all their eyes, but they felt somewhat scornful in the heart. Even though Madeline paid them some money in advance, they could see that Joshua was not interested in her at all!
She had tried to show her weakness, ask Joshua for help, and even goad Joshua, but Joshua remained unconcerned and didn't have the intention of meddling at all.
Madeline still wanted to seduce him now? Very likely, she would just ask for an insult herself. If seduction could work, she should have been able to succeed in seducing Joshua before they showed up, shouldn't she?
