A few moments earlier, just as Elise entered Room 119, in the adjacent room, Jim enthusiastically opened the door to Room 120. His mouth watered at the thought of premium ancient wine. But he was immediately startled by the greeting from the women.
"Hey, handsome!"
Jim’s perverted mind was instantly stimulated. Internally, he praised Mr. Smith’s excellent taste. The three women chosen to entertain him were undeniably sexy and alluring.
Although Jim was initially a bit disappointed that his plan to make a sex tape with Elise had to be postponed—since his niece had been exclusively rented by Mr. Smith—he hadn’t expected such an equivalent replacement. Besides, the scandalous video meant for Eric could be made at any time.
‘Really, there’s no downside to this!’ Jim thought.
"Come, darling, let's have some fun." One of the women approached and pulled Jim’s tie.
Jim nodded, obedient like a chick following its mother.
In front of him was a table holding a basket of fruit, a golden-brown roasted chicken, and three bottles of wine.
"Sit down, darling."
The other two women swayed seductively while caressing the red chair. Their fingers traced the wood carvings adorning the top of the chair’s backrest.
Jim instinctively loosened his tie. He swallowed hard and sat in the plush chair with a broad grin.
"Why is there only one chair? Come on, sit on my lap. I’m strong enough to hold three sexy women. Hahaha!"
The women giggled coyly. One of them said, "We don’t need to sit to satisfy you better, handsome!"
"Wow! You’re making me hot!" Jim removed his jacket.
Just as Jim was about to kiss the woman in the silver dress, the woman in the red dress stopped him. "Eat first, darling. You need your strength, don’t you?"
Jim burst out laughing. "Alright," he said, playfully pinching the chin of the woman in the red dress.
Jim cut a piece of chicken thigh and devoured it hungrily. Occasionally, he accepted sips of wine fed to him by the woman in the yellow dress.
"Wine, pour me some wine," Jim requested as he continued chewing.
The woman in the silver dress grabbed a bottle of wine but struggled to open the cap.
"Give it to me," Jim extended his hand, intending to help open it.
"No need, darling. I know an easy way to open it."
"Then what are you waiting for? Do it now, my love!"
Crash!
"Argh!!" Jim's loud groan followed the sound of breaking glass.
Right on cue, the woman in the silver dress had opened the bottle in an extreme manner—by smashing it over Jim’s head.
"Well, darling, the wine is out now. Do you still want to drink it? But it’s mixed with your blood!"
Jim, who had initially shut his eyes while clutching his head in excruciating pain, now opened them and hissed. He immediately swatted away the glass the silver-dressed woman was holding, which had deliberately collected the blood dripping from his head.
"You’re insane! Damn woman! What the hell are you doing?!" He cursed loudly but then winced in pain.
"Darling, you’re scaring us," whined one of the other women.
Jim struggled to his feet, still holding his bleeding head. He staggered backward, then shouted, "Bastards! Who the hell are you?! Are you trying to kill me?!" He pointed at the women in front of him.
The woman in the red dress pulled a revolver from beneath her gown, raising it and aiming directly at Jim.
Jim froze. Something lodged in his throat, making it hard to breathe. Likewise, his heart reacted to the emergency, pounding so hard that his chest trembled.
He wasn’t ready to die!
"I’ll kill you if you refuse to transfer all the money in your account." The woman in the red dress gave him a sharp glare—there was no longer any trace of sweetness or seduction on her face.
"You’re robbing me?! No way in hell!"
Bang!
Jim's heart nearly leaped out of his chest. He clutched his heaving chest and turned to see the bullet hole in the wall.
Without giving him a chance to react, the women pressed him further.
"My friend won’t waste another bullet. It would be too easy for her to shoot straight into your heart."
The woman in the yellow dress stepped closer and whispered into Jim's ear, "Let me tell you a secret. She’s a former sniper!"
Jim’s eyes bulged. His situation was already dire. The blood loss from his head was making him dizzy, yet now he was facing even crazier intimidation.
"Okay! Okay! Take all my money, just let me go."
Jim had never willingly donated even a single penny to a beggar, but now he was being forced to hand over everything he had.
Jim swore he would get revenge for this. But for that, he had to stay alive! So, for now, he begrudgingly entered his banking PIN into his phone and made the transfer.
The women laughed triumphantly as they drained Jim’s account. One of them held Jim’s phone up to his face, showing the beautiful sight of a zero-dollar balance.
Jim gritted his teeth, but he was powerless. Everything had spiraled completely out of control and beyond prediction. The pleasure he had been anticipating had turned into a catastrophic nightmare.
"As a thank-you gift, I’ll stitch up and bandage your wound. I don’t want you passing out, darling." The woman in the silver dress revealed a needle she planned to use to ‘treat’ Jim’s injury.
"What are you doing? Please, give me anesthesia first. Don’t just sew me up—ow!" Jim winced in pain as his wound was roughly cleaned with alcohol.
Then, a much greater pain followed as his wound was stitched without any anesthetic.
"Argh! Argh! Please, stop. Argh!"
Outside the door of Room 120, a male guard winced at the sound of Jim’s agonized screams. He knew just how sadistic his colleagues could be when dealing with a target.
Moments later, the woman in the red dress stepped out. Casually, she said to the guard, "He fainted. Clean everything up and put him in a sack. I’ll report to the boss."
The guard nodded and entered the room without a word.
Meanwhile, the woman in the red dress took a deep breath in front of Room 119. She knocked on the door, slightly nervous. "Sir, Evelyn wishes to report."
Eric opened the door, with Elise standing behind him, looking anxious.
"The mission is complete, Sir. We took all his money. Kevin and the others are cleaning up now."
"Good! Keep all the money for yourselves, split it evenly."
Evelyn Miller, who was nine years older than Eric, bowed respectfully. "Thank you very much, Sir."
Elise clutched her brother’s arm. "What if someone finds out about all this? Uncle Jim was screaming so loudly, and there was a gunshot. What if the other guests heard? And what if Aunt Peyton finds out?" Elise bombarded him with questions, her heart uneasy.
Even though Eric had explained many things to her earlier—including his plan to teach their uncle a lesson—Elise hadn’t expected her brother to act so boldly. She didn’t want Eric to get into trouble, let alone end up in prison.
"Don’t worry, Miss. There are no other guests on this floor. Mr. White rented out the entire third floor."
Elise’s eyes widened. She turned to Eric, staring in disbelief.
Then Kevin Anderson, the guard, exited Room 120. He was dragging a large gray suitcase.
"Sir, what should we do with him?"
Elise’s eyes widened in horror. "I-is that Uncle Jim?"

Chapter 70
“Calm yourself, Counselor. The truth has a way of surfacing. There’s no need to force it,” Edward’s attorney goaded.“Apologies, but it isn’t us—it’s the witness who seems intent on forcing things,” the prosecutor shot back.Before the temperature could rise further, the judge intervened. He instructed the second witness to continue.“That is all I can provide, Your Honor. As for the matters the prosecutor raised, they fall under the purview of the forensic doctor. My conclusion is that no direct evidence has been found to show the defendant’s involvement in this case.”Natalie’s face flushed. Her hands balled into fists, and she nearly sprang from her seat, trembling with anger. She felt betrayed. A witness meant to uphold the truth was now shielding the perpetrator.Next, the forensic doctor was called. After swearing to tell the truth, she began with an apology.“I was exhausted and drowsy. I lost focus and made a grave mistake. The blood sample I drew turned out to be a stain coll

Eric’s eyes hardened as he listened to Edward’s lawyer drone on. The defense’s hollow words made his stomach turn. He knew exactly whose life had nearly been destroyed here.“Let’s be honest,” the attorney declared smoothly. “Edward Thompson is a man of good reputation—a law-abiding citizen. Does it make sense for such a man to suddenly turn into a heartless criminal? Of course not. These accusations are built on speculation, not certainty.”A thin smile curled across his lips as he delivered his closing remark with heavy emphasis.“I ask you, Your Honor, and everyone present, before swallowing the prosecution’s story, remember this: even the smallest doubt is reason enough not to condemn an innocent man. And in this case, the doubts are not small—they are enormous. There is no justification for treating my client this way, much less subjecting him to such grave threats of punishment. Thank you.”The lawyer sat down, while Edward straightened in his chair, his expression cold, as if c

The courtroom was thick with tension the moment the heavy wooden doors swung open. Footsteps echoed against the marble floor, mingling with the hushed whispers of reporters adjusting cameras and flipping open their notepads.The Thompson family name carried weight here. As one of the city’s wealthiest dynasties, with vast business holdings under their control, Edward’s father commanded respect and influence wherever he went.And now, the family’s only heir stood accused in a hit-and-run case—facing a sentence that could exceed ten years. Just months ago, Edward Thompson had been touted as the next in line to inherit his father’s empire.It was no wonder the courtroom was packed. Local media filled the press seats, eager to cover every moment. The gallery benches were crowded with Edward’s relatives, friends, and his father’s business associates, all gathered to show their support for the accused.Natalie, by contrast, sat nearly alone. Aside from Eric and his men, she had no visible s

After classes ended, Eric insisted on driving Violet home. She had initially argued that she could simply wait for her driver, but Eric pressed her gently until she relented.Tomorrow was the court hearing for Natalie’s hit-and-run case, with Edward as the defendant—and Violet would stand as a witness. Considering her past with Edward, Eric felt the need to steady her resolve.But then Violet dropped something unexpected.“For the past few days… I haven’t gone home.” Her voice was low, her eyes fixed on her own fingers before drifting away toward the window.Eric flicked a glance at her, then returned his focus to the road. He cleared his throat quietly, not wanting to betray surprise.“I’ve been renting a small apartment nearby,” Violet continued, exhaling slowly. “My father and I aren’t on good terms. The truth is, my engagement with Edward was never about love—it was purely business.”Eric gave a slight nod. He didn’t press, allowing her space to let it out.“If Edward’s mistakes w

Eric exhaled sharply, rubbing his temple. He knew things would only get messier with the arrival of the woman whose voice had just pierced through the cafeteria.“Miss Turner…” Daniel’s eyes widened as he caught sight of Chloe approaching.This was the first time Daniel had ever interacted directly with the most popular woman on campus. Up until now, Chloe acted as if he didn’t even exist, as though he were nothing more than a shadow.“Tell me, who is this so-called perfect woman you were just talking about? How dare she get involved with the man I like?” Chloe’s glare bore into Daniel, sharp enough to strip him bare.Of course, Chloe had already noticed Eric and the unfamiliar woman seated beside him. But she deliberately refused to look their way, because just the thought of it made her chest ache. Instead, she vented her jealousy by cornering Daniel.Eric remained silent. He merely shook his head and turned his face away, unwilling to even acknowledge Chloe. To him, Chloe was nothi
Chapter 65
Eric’s gaze remained steady, his expression unreadable, calm as the surface of still water. Yet that very calmness carried a piercing edge, filling the air between them with a tension that was impossible to ignore.Violet sat between them, her body stiffening in an instant. This scene should never have unfolded—if only Daniel had enough shame to walk away.Instead of retreating, Daniel leaned forward, a faint smile tugging at his lips. His tone was deceptively friendly.“Hey, no need to be so tense. Relax. I just wanted to join in. I won’t do anything out of line. Don’t worry.”Ironically, his reassurance only proved how disruptive his presence truly was.Though his mouth curved into a smile, his eyes burned with irritation as he fixed them on Eric, testing the limits of his patience.Without invitation, Daniel slid his tray—loaded with a burger, fries, and soda—into the center of the table, as if it were his own, while Eric and Violet were mere guests.Eric set his spoon down slowly,
