They didn't bother disguising themselves. Since Tyler's career hadn't officially taken off, he wasn't well-known, so they had no concerns.

Nonetheless, they frequently caught the attention of bystanders. Tyler had striking looks, and a dedicated team was in charge of his wardrobe, making him the center of attention.

Moreover, Ariana, who walked beside him, appeared youthful in her outfit—a plaid miniskirt and a sweater. She exuded innocence and freshness, resembling a student yet to graduate.

An attractive duo like them couldn't help but draw attention.

Eventually, some people even inquired if Tyler was a celebrity or an idol, and a few enthusiastic girls pursued him for his phone number.

Ariana and Tyler were terrified and didn't feel safe remaining in the park. They quickly fled from the area in a hurry.

"It looks like you'll need to be more discreet when going out in the future to avoid being chased relentlessly." Ariana grinned at Tyler. As she took out her phone to call a taxi, a black car pulled up in front of them.

Before she could react, several strong men in black got out of the vehicle, placed a black sack over Tyler's head, and whisked him into the car before driving off.

Ariana nearly stumbled over in shock. It was the first time she had seen someone being kidnapped in public.

Fear gripped her heart. She quickly took out her phone and tried to dial the police.

Her hands were shaking violently.

Just then, another car stopped in front of her.

The car's back seat window rolled down slowly, revealing Theodore's impassive face.

Ariana's heart leaped at the sudden appearance of a savior, and she stepped forward quickly, placing her hands on the edge of the window and peering in desperately.

"Tyler was just abducted by some bad people! I just saw him being forced into a black car. Can you help me rescue him?"

Theodore didn't say anything. He simply stared at her with sharp eyes and no emotion on his face.

Ariana stared at him blankly for a few seconds, bewildered. He didn't seem surprised at all. Then it hit her, and she stepped back in horror.

"You're the one behind it?"

“Get in the car," Theodore commanded coldly, and the car window rolled up closed again.

Ariana stood beside the car for a while, gathering her thoughts, her palms sweaty and clammy. After mulling over it in silence for a moment, she finally walked to the other side of the car, opened the back door, and got in.
