Chapter 276


    As the pair made their way down an extremely posh corridor, Genevieve could hear someone making a


    fuss some distance behind her.


    “Let go! Let go of me!” A female’s voice called out.


    “I’m telling you, forcing a woman to be an escort or a prostitute without her consent is illegal in today’s


    society!”


    Before she could turn around, Genevieve felt someone knocking into her shoulder as an outline of a


    person zoomed past her.


    Genevieve stumbled a few steps before regaining her bnce.


    The woman who ran past her was tiny but extremely nimble. In the blink of an eye, she had made her


    way to the club’s exit. The woman charged toward the door, looking as though she wanted to leave that


    ce as fast as possible.


    To her dismay, two burly bouncers were standing outside the door. One of the men managed to grab


    her thin arms and yanked at her forcefully, halting her in her tracks.


    The bouncers lifted the woman into mid-air and brought her back into the club. Kicking her legs around,


    the woman screamed hysterically, “I’m not the one who wrote the IOU! What right do you have to hold


    me captive?”


    Seeing that customers were walking along the corridor, one of the bouncers was afraid that the


    woman’s screams would attract unwanted attraction and pped the woman hard on her cheek.


    “Shut up! Or else!” he warned.


    The p was so hard that it tilted the woman’s head, causing her to fall silent. Perhaps it was because


    her cheeks were too painful for her to speak.


    As the two men carried the woman past Genevieve, they nodded courteously at her before continuing


    on their way. With a lowered gaze, Genevieve tossed the woman a nce. The woman’s hair was


    messy and covering her face, presumably from running so fast.


    A pale face peeked through the messy hair.


    They were in Xedells. Word had it that the boss of Ambrosia was the child of one of the most influential


    families in Xedells.


    Not wanting to stir up any unnecessary troubles, Genevieve ignored the incident.


    However, just as she was about to leave the club, a sudden sense of familiarity struck her. Instantly,


    Genevieve turned around.


    “Wait!”


    She strode toward the two men and pulled the woman’s hair out of her face. When Genevieve saw the


    face of the woman inplete exposure, she was dumbfounded. “Johanna?” Genevieve asked, taken


    aback by who she was seeing.


    The p a moment ago caused the woman to be in a daze. At the sound of her name, Johanna raised


    her head and looked around in a blur.


    At the sight of Genevieve, Johanna immediately snapped out of her daze and started struggling to get


    out of the bouncers’ grip once again. “Genev! Please call the police! The people in this club are holding


    me captive, and they’re even asking me to be an escort!” Tears rolled down Johanna’s cheek as she


    cried for help.


    Genevieve peered at the men coolly. “Let go of her.”


    “Please do not interfere, miss.” One of the men talked to Genevieve with a stony expression. “She’s


    one of our escorts here, and we have the right to punish her for her wrongdoings.”


    “What if I want to interfere?” Genevieve lifted her chin and gestured with her fingers.


    Understanding what she meant, Steven stepped forward. Within a few seconds, Steven had the two


    men on the ground, freeing Johanna.


    They were in the main room of the club. There were surveince cameras everywhere, as well as many


    bouncers behind each door.


    At the sight of Steven beating up their staff, the other staff members of the club quickly gathered


    around and surrounded Steven, Genevieve, and Johanna.


    The supervisor of the club showed up as well.


    Eying the bouncers groaning in pain on the ground, the supervisor pursed his lips together in


    annoyance. “Your bodyguard is skilled, ma’am, but you should not haveid a hand on my staff. Not to


    mention that it was our escort that had broken a rule. The bouncers were merely taking her back to the


    girls’ dorm.”


    Genevieve turned a deaf ear to the supervisor and crouched down to help Johanna up on her feet.


    “Aren’t you studying in Loang? What are you doing here?” she asked Johanna.


    “My Dad. He tricked me… He sold me to this ce.”


    Johanna rubbed her sore and dampened cheeks as her tears continued to pour. “He called me, telling


    me that he haste-stage cancer. When I heard that, I immediately flew back. Turns out he had gotten


    into tens of millions worth of debt because of gambling, and sold me to them to repay it…”


    Johanna sobbed. “You have to save me, Genev. This club might as well be a brothel. They even asked

    me to… to…”


    Johanna choked on her words, as though saying it out loud was too much to bear.


    “Hmph! What brothel? Watch your words!” The supervisor sneered. “Your father is the one who sold


    you to us to pay for his debt. Therefore, you have no choice but to work in Ambrosia till your father’s


    debt had been repaid! Only then are you allowed to leave!”


    As he was speaking, the supervisor tossed Johanna a threatening re. “Your father owed us tens of


    millions! If all you’re doing is serving drinks, you won’t be able to repay the debt even if you live up to a


    hundred years! Moreover, the job scope of an escort includes drinking with the customers and


    entertaining them.”


    He took a step forward, closing the gap between him and Johanna. “You better stop this now ande


    with us! If not, you’ll face the music once you return to the dormster!”
