I Was a Nobody Until I Inherited Billions

Chapter 010

The murmurs grew louder and louder, and Emma got angry at the people doubting me.

"Big Guy, don't worry. I'll help you out!" said Emma willfully.

I was surprised. I did not think that she would be willing to part with so much money to help someone she'd met just a few minutes ago. I just could not understand what was going on in that head of hers. However, when it came to money, I did not need anyone's help.

At this time, the host slowly came over. He then said coldly, "Sir, can you not make trouble? This isn't a game, and you really have to pay after making the bid."

At those words, the audience started to jeer again. Emma was furious, but I told her to stay back.

"Of course, I know that. Why? Do I look like someone who doesn't have money?"

"No, no, that's not it. Sir, can you give me your card then?"

"What card?"

I had no idea what the host was talking about. When I entered the nightclub, no one told me that I had to apply for a card!

A talkative man squeezed out of the crowd and started explaining, "Bro, you don't even have a card? So were you really just boasting just now? Anyway, look here. This is a VIP card that allows you to spend fifteen thousand dollars per month in this place."

"Mine is a gold VIP card that allows you to spend fifty thousand dollars each month."

"Ahem, look here. This is my platinum VIP card that allows you to spend a hundred thousand dollars each month!"

Seeing their satisfied grins, I really felt like slapping them.

After shooting me a disdainful look, the host decided not to argue anymore and continue the bidding from fifteen thousand dollars.

I stopped him and asked, "Hey, what's the most expensive card you have here?"

"The super VIP card, which allows you to spend one million dollars each month."

"Good, give me two."

As I spoke, the crowd fell silent again. Seeing my calm demeanor, the host was also a bit stunned.

They all thought that I was making a fool of myself. The host said coldly, his expression one of exasperation, "If you go back on your words, I'll have the security kick you out!"

"Sure."

I stood in place and waited for the staff to bring a payment terminal over.

"God, he's still pretending. He could've been a good actor, though."

"Can't wait for him to get kicked out."

"Me too."

"Same here."

I calmly took out my bank card and swiped it on the payment terminal. One minute later, I received a notification on my phone that 2 million dollars had been debited from my balance. The host was shocked after the payment went through.

Two super VIP cards inlaid with gold, each worth one million dollars, were presented to me. I gave one to Emma, who was still in shock.

I said with a smile, "Take this. Remember to use all the credit by the end of this month. It'll be useless afterward."

"Big Guy... Where did you get all this money?" Her voice was almost a whisper. She seemed shaken.

"Shh!"

"Keep your voice down!"

Now that the surroundings were silent, I could see the twisted expressions of the onlookers. Those VIP cardholders who were bragging just then had received a virtual slap in their faces and were nowhere to be seen.

At this time, some pretty girls came over. One of them twisted her body and said, "Sir, can I have you?"

"Get lost!"

Finally, the crowd was lively again, and even the host started to ramble in his excitement.

"Today is a very special day. Let's give a round of applause to our tenth super VIP, Mr. David Wayne! Tonight, you don't need to spend any of your points, it's all on the house! Let's chant his name, David, David, David!"

"David! David! David!"

Although I did not like the limelight, it felt pretty good to have so many people chant my name.

At this time, Sofia sang Dream Chaser for me alone. The melody was wonderful, and the lyrics were also good. What surprised me was that such a delicate girl could look so imposing.

It seemed she was someone with a dream.

After the song was over, the host pulled me to one side and gave me a room card.

"Mr. Wayne, your room for tonight has been arranged. Do take a look, it's the presidential suite on the eleventh floor."

"Oh, I happened to be tired. Thanks."

"No need to thank me, Mr. Wayne. I hope you'll frequently patronize this place in the future!"

It was already 2 a.m., so I was indeed a bit tired. I did not say anything to Emma and just headed upstairs.

I opened the door and got in the room. The presidential suite was very big, around a hundred square meters, and was complete with a massage chair and everything one needed. But at this moment, I only wanted to lie on that big bed and sleep.

Usually, it did not take me long to fall asleep when I was this tired. But just as I closed my eyes, I heard some rustling. Then, a girl came out of the bathroom.

She was wrapped in a bath towel and her hair was dripping wet. It was Sofia, who was singing on the stage earlier!

She did not dare to look me in the eye, and she was trembling a little. However, she still slowly came toward me, nervously picking up one side of the quilt and getting inside. Her skin was snow-white, and I even saw some things that I should not have seen when she bent her body to get in.

While in a daze, I realized what was happening. I now understood why the host was so eager to have me visit this presidential suite.

However, this whole thing felt like it might be illegal. At the same time, my impression of Sofia plummeted, and I even started to despise her a little.

Below the quilt, her small hand moved toward me. She looked like a frightened fawn, and I could only wonder how many men would be mesmerized by her appearance.

"Do you often do this?" I asked coldly.

To my surprise, my words made her cry. I first thought that she was faking it, but it did not seem to be the case. She did not make a sound as tears streamed down her face.

I started to wonder if she had her difficulties. "If someone is forcing you, I can accompany you to the police station tomorrow."

Sofia shook her head. After keeping silent for a moment, she whispered, "No one is forcing me. I'm doing this of my own volition. I wanted to repay you."

"Repay me? For what?"

"I was a university student, but my mother suddenly fell ill and I had to drop out. As if that wasn't enough, I incurred a large debt. To pay it off and treat my mother, I signed a contract with this nightclub, borrowing half a million dollars from them. My job was to sing and help them make the money back."

"What happened then?"

Sofia became even sadder, and I quickly guessed what might have happened.

"All five hundred thousand dollars were gone, as was my mother. As a result, I could only stay in the club and sing for them until the debt was cleared. Tonight, you freed me from this burden. I'm a free woman now."

If it was really as Sofia had said, then the contract between her and the nightclub was just a normal work contract, and there was nothing illegal about it. Moreover, she borrowed half a million dollars and paid back basically the same amount, so they did not try to cheat her with high-interest rates either.

Although regaining one's freedom was something to celebrate, I could not see the least bit of happiness in her eyes. Freedom and sorrow often coexisted. I could try to understand her, but it was not the same as experiencing what she'd gone through, just like no one could truly know how I felt when I was poor...

"Your song was the best repayment I could ask for. Try to live your life well and chase your dreams. Perhaps I can help you find a good conservatory."

My words of encouragement ended up moving her again. She looked at me with loving eyes, and the atmosphere in the room turned ambiguous.

At this moment, my self-restraint was at an all-time low.

"Thank you, but I still want to give you my first time. Be gentle, all right?"

She then kissed me, catching me off-guard. Not that you could guard against such a pretty woman in the first place.

It had been a long time since I'd felt this feeling. Love.

I wanted more. Although I knew that I should've stopped, I still ended up holding her in my arms. I longed for an intimate relationship, wishing our souls could merge together...

Early the next morning, I saw some stains of blood on the white sheets. Sofia was telling the truth. It was indeed her first time.

At this moment, she was gently lying on my chest. As we were both tired from last night, I did not plan on getting up just yet. I tightly hugged this woman that I met last evening. I wanted to protect her. We had both gone through hard times and needed healing.

Suddenly, my phone rang. When I picked up the call, Sofia also woke up. She did not want to lose the warmth of my body and kept glued to me.

I smiled and kissed her forehead.

Emma's voice came from the other end, sounding like a wife lecturing her husband.

"Big Guy, you betrayed me last night! How could you abandon me and just run away?"

"I was just too tired. When did you go back home?"

"I didn't. I slept in a room on the eleventh floor. Last night, the people in the room next door were moaning like crazy. I can't believe that despite the room's quality, the walls aren't soundproof! After washing my face, I'm planning to knock on their door and stuff their mouths with toilet paper. Let's see if they still dare to moan!"

I was left speechless by her words. Was she not talking about us?
