Chapter 48
In a private room at the bar, Nate looked at the drinks on the table and once again tried to persuade ear. “Ve Mes/yobu been drinking here for three days. Let me take you home.”
‘Home? Where’s home? Is Lia back yet?‘ Issac was too drunk to think straight
Issac looked at the wine in his glass and smiled. “Nate, call some women over
“Mr. Allen…” Nate almost thought he misheard. ‘Call some women?”
The man narrowed his eyes. “I said call them!”
“Yes, I’ll take care of it right away.” Nate hurried out of the private room, completely battled by what his boss was thinking Just yesterday, he sent women away, and tonight, he was calling for others.
In a secluded backstage area of the bar, a woman spoke excitedly, “Frances, your chance has come
“Ms. Dawson, you always say that.” Frances wasn’t very interested. She thought this kind of money would be easy to to but the truth was, those men were stingy, and her pay was laughably low. She wasn’t eager to go.
Her goal was wealthy men, not just anyone.
“This time is different. He’s rich and powerful. If he takes a liking to you, you’ll be living the good life Ms. Dawson also expected some benefit from this, or she wouldn’t be making the introduction.
“Who is he, exactly?” Frances saw that Ms. Dawson was more serious than usual, so she reluctantly started to believe tes thinking she wouldn’t lose anything.
“I can’t reveal too much. There are only five women selected to meet him. I chose you because.. Ms. Dawson rubbed ber fingers together, the meaning clear.
Frances smiled flatteringly. “Don’t worry, Ms. Dawson. If I’m chosen, I’ll make sure to reward you
“Make sure you look good,” said Ms. Dawson.
“Don’t worry, I’ll look my best,” Frances replied.
Frances had only recently started working at this bar, but she’d worked part–time before. She knew the drill when it came to pleasing men.
In the private room, Nate nodded. “Mr. Allen, the ladies are waiting outside.”
Issac absentmindedly swirled his wine in the glass, a sarcastic smile playing at the corner of his lips. “Let them in
“Yes, sir.” Nate walked to the door, opened it, and shouted at the women who were causing a commotion “Quietly come in
Frances rolled her eyes at the other women. She was certain that she was the most beautiful of them all
The women stood in a line, striking poses, which was just another part of the job. Frances acted bolder than the other which allowed her to steal many opportunities. As a result, the girls hated her.
“What’s the rush?” She irritatedly shoved past one of the women.
The woman decided not to argue for now, wanting to make a good impression in front of the client.
‘That woman. Issac noticed her the moment she entered–Lia’s sister.

She wasn’t a servant anymore and became an escort
This woman might actually be useful.
“You all leave, she stays,” said Issac
Frances smugly watched the other women being ushered out, feeling werom, the town the water for them
But this voice sounded a bit familiar.
After fighting for the best position with the other women, Frances finally sich at the man sitting in the s
Mr… Mr. Allen!” She widened her eyes, nearly koning her balance.
‘It’s him? She could still vividly recall the time she had been dragged to dean the broom
“Nate, you can leave now. Issac waved his hand.
“Yes, Mr. Allen. Nate glanced at the woman who remained and doned the door are bot
With only the two of them left, Frances felt a rush of excitement. Could it be that he liked her
She had always thought that working as a servant had limited her beauty, but now, wedding the tight red leaker out her figure was perfectly showcased.
Issac looked at the disgusting woman and felt like throwing up. What kind of ridiculous face was the weding Her ostir was tacky as well.
“Mr. Allen, what do you want to do? I’ll follow your lead, said Frances.
“Don’t touch me,” Issac yelled.
Frances’s face changed again and again. What exactly did this man want?
He requested an escort but wouldn’t touch her?
Issac casually signed the check and threw 300 thousand over to her. Frances’s eyes lit up, and the happly asked. Mr. Ale are you going to keep me as your mistress?”
Keep her?
He gave her a disgusted glance. “I want you to do something for me. Once it’s done, I’ll give you 1.5 million”
1.5 million?
Forget 1.5 million, she’d never even seen 300 thousand in her life!
With that kind of money, she could buy whatever she wanted.
Though she couldn’t become his woman, getting the money wasn’t a bad deal.
“What do you want me to do, Mr. Allen?” asked Frances.
The man’s eyes glimmered with a sickly darkness, and Frances’s heart raced with fear.
Three days later, Lia and Coby had returned from Floral Island, bringing some local specialties with them.

“Lia, let me see, how come I feel like you’ve lost weight? Coby, have you been bullying Lia?” Quinn held Lia’s hand, checking in with her. As a mother–in–law, she didn’t want to meddle too much in the couple’s affairs, knowing the younger generation liked their privacy.
She wanted to show off Lia in front of her friends, but the couple hadn’t made their relationship public yet.
“No, Coby treated me really well,” said Lia.
Every time they met, Layla was so considerate of her feelings, and Lia was really touched.
In–law relationships are a timeless challenge, but Layla was truly wonderful.
oby wrapped his arm around Lia’s waist and stared intently at her. “Lia’s been through a lot these past few days.”
Lia’s cheeks flushed, and she secretly pinched his arm.
Quinn obviously understood what was going on. She turned to her son. “Some things should be kept in moderation. Don’t follow your dad’s example.”
Bruce quickly interrupted his wife. “Quinn, where did Molly go?”
If the conversation went on, it would be too awkward.
Quinn was successfully distracted by her husband. “Right, Molly hasn’t been coming back as often lately. Does she have a boyfriend?”
“No way! My precious daughter is still young,” said Bruce.
Bruce loved his daughter and spoiled her.
Quinn gave her husband a pointed look. “How is she still young? Molly already graduated! Why shouldn’t she date? Are you the one who’s stopping her from dating?”
Bruce knew it was time to appease his wife.
The best way to calm her down was to have a private conversation. He easily scooped her up. “Quinn, let’s talk in private:
Quinn pinched his nose, teasing. “Bruce, you always pull this trick.”
Lia watched the playful interaction between Layla and Bruce, finding it very amusing.
“My dad can never win with my mom.” Coby summarized.
“But it’s so beautiful,” Lia said sincerely.
Being with the person you love for a lifetime is the most beautiful thing in the world.
“It’s beautiful for them, but it’s a hardship for me,” said Coby.
Their eyes met, and his lips curled into a slightly teasing smile.
“What’s wrong?” Lia smiled, lifting her face.
“They only care about each other. I need attention too. Can you give me some love, honey?” He smiled.
This guy was so childish. But strangely, she didn’t mind at all.
Lia wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered in his ear, “From now on, I’m here for you.”
Mon,
