In the VIP room of a nightclub, Larry lounged on the couch. He tossed a million dollar check onto the coffee table with a b Cressing his legs, he smirked. âBring out all your prettiest girls. See this? Iâve got money.â
After serving ten years in prison, Larry was eager to indulge himself.
The nightclubâs managerâs eyes lit up at the sight of the check. She called out, âGlth, time to wakâ
A group of lavishly dressed were entered, forming a line in front of Lany.
âMr. Slick, which one catches your eye?â the manager asked with a grin.
Larry glanced over the lineup and sneered. âTheyâre all too old 1ke them young. The younger, the better.â
The manager blinked in surprise. âMr. Slick, these girls are barely 20. Thatâs young enough.â
Larry licked his lips with a sleazy grin. âI like them even younger.â
The managerâs smile taltered. Was this man a pervert? A pedophile, even?
Before she could respond, the roomâs door was kicked open from outside. Larry looked up to see Celine standing there.
The manager gasped, âOh my, whoâs this little beauty? Sweetheart, who are you here for?
Celine ignored her, her icy gaze fixed on Larry. She opened her palm and said, âHand over the check!â
âCeline, youâre here!=
Larryâs eyes lit up as he took in her flawless He chuckled, waving the check. âCeline, is courtesy of your dear husband. Iâm your adoptive father, remember? Itâs only natural for you two to give me some spending money.

sweet, so fragrant. I even kissed you, remember?!
Her hands at her clenched slowly into fists âCeline, what do think your husband would do if he knew? Heâd despise you! Mrs. Alvarez Senior may pamper you, and Adam may be your husband. But do you really think youâre worthy of being part of the Alvarez family?â
Celine said nothing. She simply walked away.
Outside the nightclub, Celine stepped onto the bustling street. She didnât take car but to walk back on her own.
The streets were lively, filled with groups of men and women chatting and laughing. Amid the noise and cheer, she wandered alone.
Memories of her childhood in the countryside replayed in her mind like a up tim Lucy had paid Larry a sum of money to send her away his home in the countryside At first, Larryâs wife was still around.
