?Chapter 106:


    Upon returning, she found the manager waiting for her.


    “Sonya, how long have you worked here?”


    Her voice trembling, she replied, “Twenty days.”


    “I see,” said the manager with a significant look. “You’ve not yet been paid, correct? Return to the room, keep our guests satisfied, and I’ll increase your monthly wage threefold.”


    The girl’s tears began to fall as she vehemently shook her head.


    “I’ve been clear since my first day. I’m not here to sell my dignity,” she insisted.


    “Just sit with them and share a drink, that’s all I’m asking,” he replied.


    Despite his words, she kept shaking her head, visibly terrified.


    Finally, the manager forcefully grabbed her arm and dragged her back toward the private room.


    The manager roughly shoved the girl onto the seat beside Brian.


    “Remove your hands from her,” Brian’s voice cut through the air like ice as he fixed the manager with a piercing stare.


    The manager’s face immediately transformed into an anxious smile. “Of course, Mr. White.”


    Brian shifted his attention to the trembling girl. “Take a seat. Share a few drinks with me, and I’ll ensure your safe return home tonight. I’llpensate you tenfold your usual earnings.”


    Hope flickered across the girl’s features as she stammered, “You… you really mean that?”


    “Of course,” Brian replied, a subtle smile ying at the corners of his mouth.


    Thoughts of her ailing mother weighed heavily on her mind. After an internal battle, determination won out. She lifted a ss and extended it toward him. “Please drink with me, Mr. White.”

    Just as their sses were about to meet, the private room’s door burst open with a thunderous crash.


    A towering young man in his twenties charged into the room.


    Upon spotting his girlfriend, he lunged forward, pulling her protectively behind his broad frame.


    In one fluid motion, his fist connected with Brian’s face, the impact echoing through the space. Without pause, he seized a nearby chair and brought it down upon Brian with devastating force.


    The room collectively drew in a sharp breath, including Norton, who had been watching the scene unfold in silence.


    Everyone braced themselves for Brian’s inevitable explosion of rage.


    To their astonishment, Brian merely let out a low chuckle and addressed the young man, “Take your girlfriend and go. If she means anything to you, keep her away from establishments like this.”


    Turning to the manager, he added, “Triple her usual wages.”


    The offer surpassed even his earlier promise of tenfold payment for the day. The girl stood frozen in disbelief before recovering herposure, bowing repeatedly with genuine gratitude. “Thank you so much, Mr. White!”


    “Leave,” Brianmanded dismissively.
