197 Difficulties of Getting Money Back

“He is famous for being cold-blooded and self-serving. He is ruthless and heartless! Isabella, he chose you on a whim. If you put your hope on him, you will get hurt in one day! Can you leave him? I tell you for your own good!”

“Enough!”

Isabella was agitated and interrupted Lukas. “It has nothing to do with you. If you don’t go away, I’ll tell him what you said!”

Lukas frowned.

“Are you going to leave or not?” Isabella covered her head and screamed, “I don’t want to see you!”

“I will leave, but you must take this.”

“Take it as my compensation for you,” Lukas said as he handed Isabella an envelope.

Isabella frowned in anger.

“It is not money...”

.....

Lukas smiled bitterly. “Am I that stupid? Isabella, this is an old photo. Maybe it can remind you of some beautiful memories.”

With that, he stuffed the envelope into Isabella’s hands and left.

“Isabella, who is ‘he’?” Jane asked tentatively.

Isabella sighed, “Lukas dumped me for a contract.”

Jane was furious. “What? Is Lukas a man? He... Isabella, don’t cry! Let’s go! Wait and see how I will scold him!”

“No, I didn’t cry for him. Jane, look, this is my father, Slike.”

There was only one photo in the envelope, a very old one.

There were about a dozen people in the photo, standing in two rows. The most handsome young man in the middle was holding a lovely little girl. He smiled brightly and snuggled up with his beautiful wife.

The man was Slike, and next to him was Rosa. The baby in his arms was Isabella.

Isabella was only five years old when Slike passed away. Her memory of her father had faded. Later, because of an explosion, the White family ended up in a mire of debt. Their house was sealed and mortgaged by the court, and they did not take even a photo out.

This was the first time in seventeen years that Isabella had seen Slike’s face so clearly. She was moved to tears.

After parting with Jane, Isabella carefully placed the photo in her school bag book and headed to Empire Entertainment Center.

Although the money she used yesterday was borrowed from Jane, Isabella wanted to solve it as soon as possible. She disliked the feeling of owing others.

Half an hour later, in the manager’s office.

“Why don’t you pay me? I have danced for an hour yesterday!” Isabella said angrily.

“Do you know how much trouble you caused me yesterday?”

Fred retorted, “The bespectacled man looked weak, but he is a famous ruffian in this area. People call him Noodle. Do you know how many things he has smashed after you ran away? Even I... Look at my cheekbones. I was beaten by him!”

“Fred, in the beginning, you promised that you won’t force me to do things I don’t want to do, and you said the Center would protect me! Now...”

“If you have apologized properly, I will do what I promised! But you slipped away! Otherwise, Noodle won’t be so angry!”

“If I didn’t escape, would he really let me off?”

Isabella stood up and clenched her fists. “You are not going to give me the money, right?”

Fred frowned and said, “I didn’t ask you to compensate for the losses because of Virginia. I can’t give you more.”

Isabella was furious but impotent. As a young girl, she had no chance to win him in this recreational place by reasoning.

So, she picked up her bag and was about to leave.

“Wait! Miss Isabella! If you really need the money, I can pay you, on condition that you dance here tonight for five hours.”

Isabella turned around and said in surprise, “Dance for free?”

“Yes, consider it as compensation for yesterday’s loss.”

Fred was a shrewd businessman. “It’s up to you. But consider before you decide. If you want money in emergency next time, I won’t help you easily!”

Isabella admitted that she was a coward.

The money was not much, but if she could not afford to lose the opportunity to work here in the future.

She could earn seventy for an hour here. There was not many ways to make easy money like this.

Isabella compromised. She called William and told him that she would stay out tonight.

Five hours later would be eleven o’clock. Charlie would be displeased if she went back so late. Although the bed in Wilson’s house was more comfortable, she chose to sleep in the dormitory tonight.

At nine o’clock.

Four distinguished guests went into the VIP booth on the second floor of Empire Entertainment Center.

They controlled Peace City’s lifeline, but their average age was only 28 years old.

They were handsome, elegant, and rich. They attracted the attention of every lady.

The four famous men in Peace City had not appeared in public for more than two years. Now, they gathered here.

“Cedric, what do you think of my Empire Entertainment Center?”

Zachary crossed her legs and looked smug. He was hugging two girls on his left and right, with a third one sitting on his thigh. “It is the champion in Peace City’s recreational industry! I especially reserved this booth to welcome you!”

“Just so so.”

Cedric smiled. Zachary assigned a beauty to him, but he did not let the girl get close to him. He only pointed a seat and let the girl sit aside. However, she gladly accepted the wine she handed over.

“What? Cedric, are you too harsh? Although you have more experience aboard, this place also adopted the most advanced international concept. All the facilities and business philosophy are very first-class!”

Jayden laughed. “Cedric majors in design! Zachary, how dare you show off in front of him?”

“Even Joseph has praised here!”

Zachary retorted. Then, he turned to Joseph, “Am I right, Joseph?”

“It has been improved.”

Joseph directly refused the wine and declined the beauties’ accompany.

Zachary smiled. “Joseph, do you refuse the wine for your girlfriend? I admire you. What about asking her out tonight?”
