    Ethan’s rage red instantly, and he smashed the ss in his hand, bellowing at the man, “Don’t


    you dare mention Night Bar to me!”


    Hearing anything rted to Gabriel made him feel irritable.


    The man was startled and quickly put on a cating smile. “Mr. Jackson, don’t be angry. Just now, I


    heard the manager say that a few new girls have arrived today, and they’re college students. How


    about that? Let’s have two of theme and keep uspany


    Ethan responded with an impatient hum.


    The man let out a sigh of relief and contacted the manager to bring in two hostesses.


    Even after the hostesses entered, Ethan was still somewhat preupied.


    The man next to him noticed one of the hostesses standing by the door, hesitant to approach, and


    asked with some confusion, “Hey, what are you doing just standing there? Come over here!”


    The woman approached reluctantly.


    The man, noticing her head down, squinted to get a better look at her and suddenlyughed. “Oh,


    Mr. Jackson, this woman here, doesn’t she look a bit like someone we know?”


    Ethan frowned. “Who are you talking about?”


    “Your ex-girlfriend, your former fiancée!” the man said, not one to shy away from stirring up trouble.


    Ethan was puzzled, and when he looked up at the woman, he realized it wasn’t just a resemnce.


    She was clearly Olivia herself!


    Ethan was taken aback and suddenly stood up. “How the hell did you end up working here?”


    Olivia’s eyes dodged, and she tried to deny it, affecting a voice. “I’m sorry, sir, you you must have


    mistaken me for someone else.”


    “Are you still pretending? D**n it, weren’t you supposed to be rich? Why are you working as a


    hostess here then?”


    After yelling, Ethan suddenly realized there were others watching the spectacle, so he roared, “Get


    the hell out of here!”


    The man and the other hostess quickly left the private room.


    Ethan grabbed Olivia by the hair. “You d**n… you lied to me before, didn’t you? The two million


    dors I gave you, where is it? You squandered it all, didn’t you? You’re just a filthy b**h, always


    tricking men out of their money!”


    Olivia didn’t even have time to plead for mercy before Ethan struck her repeatedly across the face,


    venting his frustrations from the encounters Gabriel onto Olivia


    with


    He pummeled and kicked her without mercy.


    Olivia’s screams of agony in the private room drew the attention of the bar’s security. The guards


    burst in, separating the two, but by then, Olivia was left bruised and bloodied.


    The manager also rushed to the scene.


    “Mr. Jackson, please calm down. If there’s anything unsatisfactory about her service, we can


    rece her. Please don’t be angry. If this continues and something happens, it wouldn’t be good,


    would it?”

    “Something happens? So what if it does? I can afford to pay for any trouble!” Ethan was still trying


    to break through the security and manager’s restraint to get at Olivia, but the guard’s strong grip


    held him back.


    “Mr. Jackson, what exactly about her service has displeased you? Please tell us,” the manager


    pleaded, sweating profusely. Ethan wasn’t afraid of trouble, but the manager certainly didn’t want


    any.


    “It’s a personal matter between us. It has nothing to do with anyone elsel”


    Ethan finally started to calm down a bit.


    Olivia finally managed to catch her breath. “Ethan, what the hell has gotten into you? What did I do


    with the money you gave me? Do you want me to discuss it here or at the police station?”


    “Are you still f**g threatening me?” Ethan was furious. Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    Olivia wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. “You came at me like a rabid dog, Ethan. I’m


    telling you. If you dare to hit me again, we can both go down together. How about it? Do you want to


    give it a try?”


    “You…” Ethan was left speechless.


    The manager, fearing that Olivia’s reckless words would provoke Ethan further, quickly interjected,


    “Miss, could you please hold your tongue?”


    Ethan shook off the security guard’s grip. “Let go, I’m not going to hit her anymore. Hitting her is like


    risking catching a disease!”-


    “I’m d to see you’re calming down, Mr. Jackson. Your bill for today will be on the house, how


    about that?” the manager


    offered.


    Ethan snorted coldly, feeling much more at ease now that his anger had been vented. He red at


    Olivia and threatened. “Olivia, if you don’t fulfill your promise to me, you’d better watch out. I’ll make


    you pay!”


    With that, Ethan strode out with a swagger.


    The manager gave Olivia a disgruntled look and said directly, “Don’te in tomorrow. Your first


    day on the job and this happens. It’s just bad luck.”


    Hearing the manager call her bad luck, Olivia instantly red up. “D a m n it! I don’t even care about


    it!”


    She then strode out of the bar.


    Olivia, with her disheveled hair and bloodied face, s t a g g e e d down the street. She didn’t have


    the money to go to the hospital, and her head was so dizzy


    that she couldn’t even cry.


    Passersby avoided Olivia as if she were a gue.


    Olivia gritted her teeth, knowing that her current predicament was entirely Gina’s fault. One day, she


    would make Gina pay, dismembering her limb from


    limbl


    She coughed, spat up a mouthful of blood, and nearly fell to the ground, but suddenly someone


    caught her.


    “Miss, are you alright?” a girl asked, showing concern.


    Olivia looked up and saw the girl.


    The girl looked at her with worry. “Let me take you to the hospital”


    Olivia shook her head. “No need, I don’t have any money.”

    away and leave.


    As she said this, she tried to push the girl away


    The girl felt pity for her, “I’ll pay for your medical expenses!”


    Looking at Olivia’s appearance, she thought she looked so pitiful that she wanted to help her.


    “Why not take advantage of the offer?’ Olivia’s initial thought was such.


    So, Olivia followed the girl to the hospital, where her wounds were treated. The two of them sat on a


    bench in the hospital corridor to rest.


    “Olivia, your name is very nice,” the girl said with a smile.


    Oh, Olivia replied nomittally.


    The girl continued, “My name is Cathy Fowler.”


    “Mmm.” Olivia nodded.


    Cathy asked cautiously, “How did you get injured like this? Were you beaten up? Did you call the


    police? Where are your family?”


    Olivia was growing impatient and responded directly, “I’m an orphan.”


    After saying that, she gave a self-deprecatingugh.


    Cathy realized she had said the wrong thing. “I’m sorry, I didn’t know… Were you bullied? If you


    need help, I’ll do my best to assist you.”


    Olivia thought she was talking too much. “I need money. Can you give me some?”


    She still owed Gina several million dors, after all.


    Cathy was taken aback. “How… how much?”


    “10 dors, for a taxi ride home,” Olivia said.


    Cathy


    y was relieved. “Well, I do have that much.”


    Olivia was taken aback. “Why do I feel like you’re a bit naive? Do you even know me? And you’re


    willing to help me?”


    “My mom says, helping others is a good virtue!”


    Olivia was speechless for a moment. “I’ll pay you back for the medical expenses.”


    “Actually,


    y, if you don’t have the money, you don’t have to pay me back. Let’s just consider it a way to make a


    friend!”
