Victor and Elena’s jaws immediately dropped to the floor. They blinked their eyes in disbelief at what they were seeing.
This was Elena’s first time at SweetSky, but not Victor’s. He had been there many times, but never once had he seen a homeless person enter. Let alone homeless people, even middle-class individuals wouldn’t dare to step inside. They would go broke after dining there.
So, what kind of madness had they just witnessed? He and Elena were still stuck outside, so how could homeless people be allowed in?
Victor's chest rose and fell like it was going to explode. He shouted in the guard's face, “Why did you let them in? Are you an idiot or what?!”
“What's going on, Mr. Victor?” A forty-year-old woman in neat clothes reprimanded, behind her the guard followed.
Victor beamed with a smile. Hearing the restaurant manager acknowledge him and call his name, he clearly felt that he was not just any ordinary guest. The guards should know that!
“Mrs. Sisca, thank you for coming so quickly. If not, I might have had to deal with this guard myself. Look, he let those homeless people in and allowed them to dirty SweetSky. If anyone else sees this, it will certainly damage the restaurant's reputation.”
“But don't worry. As a special customer, I’ll keep quiet. I won’t tell my colleagues or friends in high society. This embarrassing incident will remain a secret,” Victor explained at length, puffing out his chest, thinking he was worthy of being called the hero who saved the restaurant.
“Are you done talking?” Mrs. Sisca asked with a sarcastic smile.
Victor wasn’t sure he had heard correctly. “Pardon me?”
“If you’re done, please leave this restaurant. Our guests have arrived,” Mrs. Sisca said, pointing toward the group inside that made Victor and Elena feel disgusted. “We’re very busy and don’t have time for debates. Other guests will be arriving soon as well.”
Elena laughed, thinking that Mrs. Sisca was joking. She extended her hand for a handshake. “Nice to meet you, I’m Elena Moore, Victor Exton’s fiancée. We just got engaged earlier today, and now we’re here for a romantic dinner.”
Mrs. Sisca merely glanced at Elena’s hand without any intention of shaking it. “Wow, congratulations. But I’m afraid, as the guard already explained, SweetSky has been booked. This event was arranged on short notice, but we announced it on our website and sent email notifications. It’s not that we’re being rude, but we don’t want to offend our VVIP customers. So, please, celebrate your engagement elsewhere.”
Victor’s eyes widened. His forehead was sweating as he asked, “VVIP customers? Who do you mean?”
Victor grew anxious because he hadn’t heard anything about any high-profile individuals who had booked the entire SweetSky. He didn’t know whether this event was closed off or if he had been excluded from such important information.
Just as the manager was about to answer Victor’s question, a familiar voice greeted, “Good evening, Mrs. Sisca.”
They turned in unison. Upon seeing the person who greeted them, Victor and Elena stared in shock. Elena quickly shouted, “Jack?! What are you doing here? Oh my God, don’t tell me you’ve been stalking me!”
“Do you know Mr. Jack?”
Victor interjected, “Mrs. Sisca, please don’t call him ‘Mr.’ That’s so inappropriate. Just so you know, this guy was a gardener at my fiancée’s house. He was just fired because he became obsessed with Elena and often did crazy things.”
“Excuse me?” Mrs. Sisca frowned in confusion.
Seeing the annoyed look on Mrs. Sisca's face, Jack interjected, “I came to have dinner here. And you guys, why are you here? Do you want to have dinner too? Why don't you come straight in, but stand in front of the door?” Jack looked sharply at Victor and Elena. However, there was still a smile on his lips.
Clearly, this was out of the scenario!
Jack spoke in a slight whisper, “I tell you, despite their good looks, their lives are miserable, their hearts poorer than poor itself.”
Mrs. Sisca stifled her laughter, while Victor and Elena, who had also heard her, turned red in the face like boiled crabs.
“Insolent! Poor fools! Loser!” Victor cursed, but then he smiled mockingly, “Oh, I see, apparently this is a charity event. No wonder you dared to come here. All you have in your head is free food. You wish you could eat delicious food without paying. What a beggar!”
Elena said, “Really Jack, as your ex-wife, I'm starting to worry. You became unemployed because my fiancé fired you. Then, you got evicted and became homeless. And now, you're here as a beggar! Jack, what kind of setback did you go through that you have to beg for food?!”
Fed up with Victor and Elena's ramblings, Mrs. Sisca silently signaled the two guards to drag them away from SweetSky.
“Mrs. Sisca, you can't do this to me. You'll regret it!” Victor shouted as the guards pulled his hands away.
Similarly, Elena screeched, “Let go! Let go of my hand, you lowly errand boys, you don't deserve to touch me!”
The two guards ignored them. They dragged Victor and Elena to the parking lot and only released their grip there.
Elena was annoyed with her messy appearance. She shook off the traces of the guards' hands, making a disgusted gesture as if she had been hit by a chicken shit.
“You will pay for this. You don't know I'm well-connected, well-acquainted with the elite. Look, overnight I'll disgust them with SweetSky. They won't want to step on the floor those bums once walked on!” Victor was furious.
But the guards took it in stride. In fact, one of them threatened, “Please spread this disgrace to all your colleagues. We will gladly help by uploading the CCTV footage of the expulsion of the two intruders on the SweetSky website.”
“You guys...” Victor's voice trailed off. He stared resentfully at the two departing guards, then muttered, “How dare they threaten me.”
Victor smiled wryly as the threat really made him uneasy. Being kicked out of the restaurant was humiliating enough, let alone being labeled as an intruder. Definitely, he had no choice but to keep quiet, swallowing all the bitter treatment from SweetSky's side.
However, despite all the humiliation, there was one thing that bothered Victor.
Who exactly was the VVIP member? He could even turn SweetSky into a feeding ground for the homeless.
Victor's eyeballs rounded as he realized something. “Wait, since when does SweetSky have a VVIP category?”

Chapter 71
Marco’s scream tore through the room before anyone could say a word.It wasn’t a single cry, but a long, broken sound that snapped halfway through, turning into a hoarse roar that barely resembled a human voice.“Stop—STOP—!”His breath caught in his throat, his body stiffened, then convulsed violently. The pain felt endless, arriving all at once, not as a single point, but as waves that emptied his mind completely.He screamed because there was nothing else he could do. Words broke apart in his throat. His breathing became utterly chaotic. His body went rigid, then trembled uncontrollably.Marco begged for it to end, even though he knew it wouldn’t stop anything. But how could his mouth remain silent when it felt as if he were on the brink of death?Every second felt unbearably long. Time seemed to slow down, yet the pain did not lessen in the slightest.Greg and Rapth instinctively turned to look at Jack.Jack did not move.Greg and Rapth swallowed hard, a wave of horror sending chi
Chapter 70
Ava’s throat felt constricted. It was as if a sharp thorn were lodged inside it, making even the act of swallowing painful. Mr. Hall seemed to be able to read her thoughts.It couldn’t be denied, earlier, Ava had indeed planned to give Laura a harsh warning once they were out of Mr. Hall’s supervision. But now, she truly didn’t dare try to defy him.“Very well, Mr. Hall,” Ava said with a fearful smile. “You can trust me.”She smiled again at Laura. “Come, Miss.” In an instant, she transformed into someone polite, gentle, and almost virtuous.“W-what about us, Sir?” Greg asked, gathering his courage. Rapth waited anxiously for the answer.“Stay here. Move the old man onto the bed. When the doctor arrives, he will receive his punishment.”Ava, who had just stepped past the doorway, widened her eyes upon hearing Jack’s words. She was afraid Jack might change his mind because she was too slow to carry out his orders, and that she, too, would receive punishment like Marco Ring.'Does Mr. H
Chapter 69
Jack cast a brief glance at Laura before turning his gaze back to Marco. The look in his eyes held such immense fury that the whites were stained red.“You treated Miss Kills like an inanimate object,” he said through clenched teeth. “You took pleasure in her pain. You built your enjoyment from her screams, from her trauma.”Jack’s jaw hardened.“Someone like you doesn’t deserve a quick ending.”Marco shook his head weakly. “I–I… I can pay. Whatever you want…”Jack ignored him.He pulled his phone from his pocket. His movements were calm, far too calm for a situation this brutal. Jack dialed a number he had been calling frequently lately.“Hello, Mr. Hall. Is there something you need?” Jack’s secretary, Rafael Lewis, asked respectfully.“I need a specialized surgeon,” Jack said, concise and firm. “The best one. Have him brought to Paradise Roadway within ten minutes.”He paused, listening to the response on the other end.“Yes. An emergency case,” he concluded. “Make sure he comes.”T
Chapter 68
“You will only be able to do that if I still allow you to stay alive.”Jack’s words hung in the air: cold, heavy, and suffocating.Marco Ring fell silent. His already pale face seemed to lose what little color remained, while blood continued to seep from the bullet wound in his thigh.The oppressive silence made Ava Cobra swallow hard. Her heart pounded violently as she looked at Jack, then shifted her gaze toward Marco Ring’s two bodyguards, who were still standing with their hands raised, their faces rigid with fear.If the man called Mr. Hall could end their boss’s life so easily, then killing them would be effortless as well. That thought alone made their hearts race uncontrollably.Jack glanced briefly at Ava. His gaze was sharp, yet calm. Far too calm for a situation this dangerous.'Could Mr. Hall actually be a psychopath?'Ava swallowed.“Ava,” Jack said quietly, though his tone carried unmistakable authority. “Don’t you keep several cobra snakes?”Ava flinched. Her brows lift
Chapter 67
Marco’s eyes bulged as if they were about to pop out of their sockets, not only from the tightening grip around his throat, but also from Ava’s words.Did this damned woman want her dead now?!Marco struggled desperately to pry Jack’s hand away from his neck. But he was nothing more than an old man, lacking any real strength. His face had turned deathly pale.“Mr. Hall… please don’t dirty your hands,” Laura pleaded. She didn’t want Jack dragged into deeper trouble because of her.Marco Ring, nearly losing consciousness from lack of air, collapsed limply onto the floor after Jack released his grip. He gasped wildly, trying to gulp back all the oxygen he had been deprived of.Jack guided Laura to a chair and told her to sit. He then ordered the other prostitutes out of the VIP room, not wanting them to witness the chaos that was clearly about to escalate.When Greg and Rapth momentarily let their guard down, Marco’s two bodyguards broke free and fought back.The guards from the two side
Chapter 66
'Mr. Marco smiled when I screamed.''My pain was his pleasure.''The more I begged, the more he enjoyed it.'Jack closed his eyes. Laura’s voice raw, suffocating, and helpless, echoed in his mind, just as she had told him in the car earlier.His jaw tightened. The muscles in his neck bulged.Jack clenched his right fist while his left hand gripped Laura’s trembling fingers tightly.“Madam Ava, Miss Kills has arrived,” Rapth said haltingly.“What? Excellent!!” Ava broke into a wide smile. But then her brows furrowed. “Wait, why are you addressing her so politely?”Before Rapth could answer, Marco Ring spoke first. “Who is Miss Kills?”Marco slammed his hand on the table. “I don’t give a damn who she is. All I want is Laura. Where is my weak little pet?! Why did I have to wait so long while you entertain me with these useless women?!”“Ah!!”The prostitutes Ava had offered earlier to distract Marco were shoved violently to the floor.“Mr. Marco, please calm yourself,” Ava said with a br
