When she heard the mention of her wrongdoings in Chanaea, her expression changed. She was no longer as tough as before. “How much more do you need?”
He held up a finger in response. “One thousand?” she asked with a frown. That man scoffed as if he had heard some kind of joke. “We’re overseas at the moment. What can I do with that small amount of money? I’ll need at least one million!”
Aubree widened her eyes. “You’re ripping me off!” I’ve given them two million previously. I can’t believe he’s again asking for so much money from me! I don’t have any cash left.
The man chuckled. “Goodness, I’m telling you the truth. In the end, we’re just working for someone else. Why would I want to con you?”
Before Aubree could respond, the man, his voice colder, went on, “But even if I did con you, would you turn me in to the police? I doubt it. The police in Chanaea would come for you, and you’d be detained and sent back to your country.”
Aubree’s face turned ashen as he threatened her, but she knew she couldn’t do anything about it. After all, she was in a strange land where no one knew her. To put it plainly, no one might even notice if she were to disappear or die here.
She didn’t dare report him to the police. “I don’t have that much money,” she replied through gritted teeth. She had left the country with only five million.
After her plastic surgery, making a new ID for herself, and renting a place to stay, she only had a few hundred thousand left.
Moreover, she still had many things to settle on her end, and a few hundred thousand wouldn’t be enough. There was no way she could come up with one million to pay the balance.
The man arched a brow at her words and gave her a once-over. Aubree tensed up. Her eyes were filled with disgust as she watched him warily.
“You can pay with something else if you don’t have the money.” The man paused as his gaze landed on her face. “Your real face looks better, but this is acceptable as well. Plus, you used to be the daughter of a rich man. I’ve never slept with a rich man’s daughter before.”
He was making an obvious suggestion that she should pay with her body. Aubree’s face immediately darkened. “How dare you?”
“If you can’t settle the balance, then we’ll just have to take back the documents we used to create Christina. Please look for someone else if you want to return to your home country, Ms. Pearson!” the man replied confidently without putting pressure on her. With that, he reached out for the ID in her hand.
Needless to say, Aubree refused to hand it over. She had spent half of the money she brought to create this identity for herself. She would lose everything if they took it back, and she would have no more money to disguise herself.
“It’s fine. You can keep it. It’s just a few pieces of paper. The important stuff is on our computers. We can destroy it whenever we please, the man said arrogantly. He was already all over her as he spoke.
Aubree’s face shifted palpably as she balled her hands into fists. She looked as if she might slap the man at any moment. The man wasn’t afraid of her in the slightest. He placed a hand on her waist and slowly moved it over to her breasts.
“I’ve seen that photo of yours from Chanaea, Ms. Pearson. You’re not some pure, chaste girl, so don’t play the virgin card with me. Just let me sleep with you, and we won’t owe each other anything.”
Aubree felt numb as she stood there, rooted to the spot. The man pulled her into his embrace and started groping her.
He smiled in delight when he noticed she wasn’t fighting him anymore. He carried her up, bridal style, and threw her onto the bed. Tears streamed down Aubree’s face when she heard him removing his clothes.
Back then, no trash would have dared to hit on her. She used to be the girl who would kick their asses if they even dared to steal a glance at her.
But now, she was left with no choice; she couldn’t even defend herself against a mere thug. Nobody could help her. The only thing she could do now was to betray her own body.
An hour had passed, and Aubree lay on the bed, numb and tearful, with hickeys covering her body. The man lay beside her, naked and smug.
I have to say, this young lady is different from the prostitutes I’ve slept with. She’s so fair and flawless and even smells great. It would be such a shame to only sleep with her once. With that, he sat up and turned to face Aubree.
Aubree felt his gaze on her and returned it with a hateful glare, her face stained with tears. She wished she could tear him apart.
“Don’t give me that look. You won’t be marrying into some rich family anymore, so why not let me take advantage of you? You must realize I’m the only one who can help you now since you’re all alone in a foreign country. I can even make sure you’re well-fed if you’re good.”
Aubree turned away in disdain and tightened. her grip on the covers, desperately wanting to cover herself up. However, her actions only provoked the man, who reached under the covers and touched her all over.
Despite feeling angry and disgusted, Aubree was too weak to fight against the man, especially after sleeping with him. She was so feeble that it seemed as if she was simply playing hard to get..
A few minutes later, the man got his way and started to enter her again. Aubree bit her lip to prevent herself from moaning, her lips bleeding by the time the man finished and removed himself from her.
The man sneered as he forced Aubree’s mouth open. “You’re not bad, just a little feisty. I’ll just need to get someone to train you, and I’m sure we’ll be able to get a good price,” he commented callously.
Aubree’s face paled at his insult, and she lashed out, “Shut up, you b*stard! You’d better pray hard that I don’t make a comeback one day, or else I won’t let you off.”
The man merely shrugged indifferently, reminding her of her dire situation. “I think your should worry about yourself first before this. You won’t have a single cent left after taking care of all these, right? Plus, it’s impossible for you to get in contact with your family in Chanaea since the Farwells are keeping a close eye on you. You can only work as a server with that fake identity of yours even if you land a job, and the money you earn won’t even be enough. to buy a tenth of your bag.”
Those words hit Aubree right in the gut, and she felt the color drain from her face as she realized the thought of living a broke life was unbearable.
“I have an idea to help you make more money. You can still earn tens of thousands a month,” the man drawled. Aubree turned to face him, deciding to hear him out.
The man continued, “You can become a bar hostess with that beauty of yours. If you’re lucky, the tips alone will make you tens of thousands a month. I’ll be responsible for your safety. You just have to pay me one-tenth of the money you earn. What do you think?”
A bar hostess? Aubree was filled with humiliation and disgust at the thought of becoming a bar hostess.
The man left her alone as he got off the bed with a satisfied smile and headed to the bathroom. He said to Aubree, “This is your only chance to make some good money. Who knows, you might even find yourself a sugar daddy at the bar if you’re lucky! You’ve already slept with me anyway. There’s not much difference in becoming a bar hostess after all. this.”
Aubree stared at him with cold determination and reluctantly agreed to his proposal, “Fine. I’ll do it!” She knew what was in store for her, but she needed to survive so that she could make a comeback and have her revenge in the future.
Meanwhile, Sonya hadn’t heard from her son or granddaughter for a few days after leaving the Farwell residence. The more she thought about it, the more her unease grew. On a random weekend, she decided to visit the manor.
Roxanne was working overtime at the research institute, searching for a new medicinal herb supplier to replace Damaris Group, while Lucian was also working late. Only Catalina was at the manor looking after Estella, Benny, and Archie.
“Mrs. Farwell,” Catalina addressed Sonyal respectfully and flicked a worried glance at the kids. She knew Sonya didn’t like Archie and Benny. Now that Mr. Farwell isn’t together with Ms. Jarvis, I wonder what Mrs. Farwell will do to put the kids on the spot…
Sonya’s cold gaze skated across Catalina before landing on Estella. She ignored Archie. and Benny, who were standing next to the girl. “Do you miss me, Essie? Come, give me a hug.” She spread her arms. Estella didn’t budge and had no intentions to approach her.
