Chapter 727


    Aurelia’s eyes widened as she paled as if she saw a ghost. She quickly adjusted her emotions and


    forced a smile.


    After all, this was how she managed all these years.


    “Hi, James! You’re free today?”


    James kept his eyes on the metal box that she did not get to hide in time. It seemed that the girl had


    been making good money recently!


    James was one of the gang members on the street. He was not capable and was ugly, so he was often


    bullied by the other thugs when he first joined the gang.


    His psychological state gradually became twisted in such an environment.


    After years of hard work, when he finally became a thug with a slightly higher status, he began to bully


    the weak around him as revenge, often beating people up to the point of bleeding when he collected


    protection fees.


    Aurelia had seen it plenty of times. Thedy next door who died from losing too much blood had died


    because she did not hand in the fee in time. His underling had stabbed her three times.


    This was why she never dared to pay the protection feete. To be safe, she even paid more than


    others.


    She was a rare obedient one on the street to James. It was unexpected that she looked docile and


    obedient, but she kept a metal box in secret.


    James stepped forward, the light showing his face full of freckles. He cackled as he made his way to


    Aurelia and mocked, “I heard you made good money recently? You haven’t been back for days. Been


    “No!” Aurelia replied in passing, “I just found a nanny job. It pays by the day. Hah, they still owe me


    money now! I have to be off to ask it from them now!”


    “Come back!”


    James gave an order, and a few more thugs appeared at the door. All of them held steel batons in their


    hands as they smirked at Aurelia.


    Aurelia panicked and subconsciously balled up her hands. She knew too well what filthy thoughts these


    men had.


    Each time James looked at her, his gaze was like he was undressing her. All these years, however, he


    had only coveted her without actuallyying a finger on her.


    Aurelia had always thought that it was because she had paid more protection fees.


    Today, though, it was obvious that the man did note with kind intentions…


    She could care less about the metal box at this critical juncture. It was more important to lose the


    money to protect herself!


    “James!” Aurelia’s attitude was sincere as she handed the box over. “This… This is actually prepared


    for you! Hah, it isn’t a lot of money, but it’s a token from me!”


    “Mm, a sensible one, I see!” James spat the cigarette in his mouth off and took the box with a hand.


    The money inside made his eyes glow.


    Aurelia thought she had a chance and slowly shifted to the door while she chuckled, only for a thug to


    drag her back by her hair!


    Her scalp throbbed in pain before her world went upside down—she was carried and thrown on the


    wooden bed.


    “What do you want!?” screamed Aurelia.


    James stepped over and pped her twice, causing blood to seep out the corner of her lips. There was


    an evil glint in his eyes as he licked his lips, but he ultimately did nothing to her.


    Although he wanted to ruin her, now was not the time.


    Aurelia’s voice shook. “James, we… It’s not the first day we know each other. I didn’t pay you any less


    all these years. This time… I’m not keeping the protection fee in secret, I—”


    “I know!” James went closer and pinched her jaw. “That’s why I didn’t me you!”


    “Then…”


    “I just want to make full use of you!” He smirked.


    Aurelia’s mind buzzed.


    “What do you mean?”


    James did not answer but waved a hand to get his underlings in.


    The thugs pinned Aurelia down, and one of them pulled out a handkerchief to cover her mouth and


    nose. She struggled for a moment before she passed out, and someone brought in a gunny sack to put


    her in.


    The thugs grinned sciously after they were done, but James growled in impatience, “You better not


    have any idea about this chick! Didn’t you see that I didn’t even touch her? She’s useful to me. She has


    to be clean!


    “I’ll kill whoever dares think otherwise first!”


    The thugs were quiet and carried Aurelia to the car at the door.


    The car slowly drove out of the street, going past the bodyguards guarding the junction.


    James nced at them but said nothing, even though he found it odd. What mattered more to him now


    was to send the girl to his boss.


    His boss had mentioned that he was tired of the old woman by his side and had been wanting to


    change up his vor, best if it was someone… who had never slept with any man.


    James perked up. This was a good opportunity for him to rise up in the ranks and make more money!


    Aurelia was also the prettiest on the street.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For

    He grinned triumphantly. His wait was fruitful. He could already see that Aurelia had and had neverid


    a finger on her. It seemed that he was right for not touching her!


    If he slept with her from the beginning, where was he going to get such a beauty to grovel to his boss?


    After all, beautiful women were everywhere, but the chance to be promoted and get rich was rare!


    If his boss was happy, he might give him another street to collect protection fees! Perhaps he could be


    his boss’ right-hand man in the future…


    The more James thought about it, the more excited he was. He could not help pulling Aurelia’s metal


    box out to get all the money and then rolling down the window to toss the box out.


    “What’s that?” The bodyguards noticed the metal box and ran over to pick it up, only to see “Sunny”


    written on it!


    They were rmed.


    “It’s dropped from that car!”


    “Give chase!”


    James’ car had already taken a turn, and the bodyguards drove immediately to catch up.


    …


    Aurelia woke up groggily. Her mind felt like a lead block had been pushed in, and any slight movement


    felt heavy and painful.


    She was blindfolded, but her limbs were not restrained. She moved and felt that she was on


    somewhere soft, like a bed.


    Unable to think much, an ominous feeling swept over her. She hurried to pull the blindfold off but heard


    footsteps at the door.


    She couldn’t escape at this point but could not let others see she was awake. Panicking, shey back


    down in her original position and did not pull the blindfold off, prepared to act spontaneously.


    “Darling, I’m here! Are you inside?”


    Aurelia’s heart dropped.


    What? Why was it a woman?
