Chapter 6

Miles Hamilton abruptly lifted his head, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes, and tightly grasped Jaden Hicks's hand: "Jaden Hicks, are you serious? As long as I can do it, I'll do anything!"Jedden Hicks smiled and pointed to the private room marked "VIP" at the end of the corridor, his tone threatening yet tempting: "Did you see that room? The guest inside is someone we can't afford to offend. If you can attend to him well and make him satisfied, don't even mention your friends—let alone if you want him to help you pay off all your debts, he can do it."Miles Hamilton looked in the direction that Jaden Hicks pointed, and saw that the door of the cabin was closed, exuding a sense of oppression that warned strangers to stay away. She didn't know who was inside, nor did she understand the meaning of the term "wait on them," but as long as it could save Chu Chu, get her out of here, and return to save Reed, she was willing to take the risk."I'll go." Miles Hamilton bit her lip, her tone resolute.Jedediah Hicks nodded satisfied, gently pushed her aside: "Go, perform well, don't cause trouble for me."Miles Hamilton walked with heavy steps towards the VIP cabin, the camisole skirt brushing against her thighs, every step making her feel incredibly humiliated. She took a deep breath, reached out and gently knocked on the door, seeing no movement inside, she increased the force."Come in."A low, magnetic voice came from inside, tinged with a hint of impatience, yet familiar pressure. Miles Hamilton's heart jumped. This voice... had he heard it somewhere before?She trembled as she grasped the doorknob, twisted it gently, and the door slowly opened. Blinding light streamed in instantly, and Miles Hamilton subconsciously squinted his eyes. Once his vision cleared, the sight before her froze the blood in her veins—Ye Chuchu was pinned to the sofa by a greasy-faced man, her hair disheveled, her face covered in tear tracks, with obvious slap marks on her lips, struggling desperately, her eyes filled with fear and despair."Chuchu!" Miles Hamilton shrieked in horror, disregarding everything, rushing forward like crazy, using all his strength to push the man away from Chuchu.Chu Chu seemed to grasp a lifeline, scrambling up from the sofa and throwing herself into Miles Hamilton's arms, crying bitterly: "Xiao Wan, save me... save me... they're so scary..."Miles Hamilton held Chu Chu tightly, wrapping his arms around her protectively, glaring fiercely at the man who had been pushed down, his voice trembling with anger and fear: "Don't touch her!"The man was furious and jumped up, raising his hand to slap Miles Hamilton's face, cursing, "Bitch, dare to interfere with my business, you're asking for death!""Stop!"A chillingly cold voice suddenly rang out, carrying an imperious authority that instantly silenced the entire room. The man's hand froze in mid-air, the anger on his face instantly transforming into a sycophantic smile. He turned around, walked over to the sofa with respect, bent down and bowed: "Manager Lu, I'm sorry, I didn't notice you were here, I disturbed you, I'll leave right away, I'll leave right away!"Manager Lu?Miles Hamilton froze, slowly turning his head to look at the sofa's . The man in a black suit, legs crossed, with a powerful aura, was none other than Bryce Kendall Pickman, the one who had mistaken her for Wang Xiang three days ago and forced her into a debt of thirty million!How could it be him?Miles Hamilton's heart felt as if it were being gripped by an invisible hand, fear instantly overwhelming her. She never imagined that the hell she had desperately tried to escape would lead her to encounter again the man who terrified her to the core.Bryce Kendall Pickman's dark eyes, like those of a falcon, fixed intently on Miles Hamilton, carrying a hint of playfulness and an imperceptible complexity. Beside him, Ji Yunshen, holding a wine glass, smirked with a mocking smile, his gaze flickering over Miles Hamilton's exposed body, his tone teasing: "Mr. Lu, isn't this the 'Miss Wang' you let go three days ago? So, you've come here to work, planning to pay back the debt?"“I’m not Wang Xiang!” Miles Hamilton abruptly looked up, his voice choked with tears but remarkably firm, “My name is Miles Hamilton, the one who owes you thirty million isn’t me, and I’m not from here either, I was kidnapped!”Ji Yunshen scoffed and was about to say more when gave him a look that stopped him. stood up, walked to Miles Hamilton's , his slender fingers picking up a full glass of strong drink from the table and holding it out to her, his tone cold, "Not Wang Xiang? Then why are you here? Drink this glass of wine, and I'll believe you."Miles Hamilton looked at the strong drink, the pungent aroma lingering around his nose, and was instantly reminded of what Samuel Coleman had done to her that night after being drunk, a wave of turmoil rising in his heart. She shook her head, her voice faint: "I don't drink..."Stop acting like that." frowned, his tone full of impatience, "They say Wang Xiang is a heavy drinker, unrestrained, and now you tell me you don't drink? Do you think I'm stupid?"“I wasn’t pretending! I really wasn’t!” Miles Hamilton’s tears fell even harder as she desperately explained, but Bryce Kendall Pickman simply didn’t believe her. He was convinced she was Wang Xiang, convinced she was deliberately putting on an innocent act to elicit his sympathy.Bryce Kendell Pickman's patience was completely exhausted. He grabbed Miles Hamilton's wrist and pinned her against the sofa, while the other hand gripped her chin, forcing her head up, bringing the cup to her lips, and forcefully pouring it down her throat.The fiery liquor slipped down her throat, burning her , Miles Hamilton struggled desperately but couldn't break free from's restraints, forced to swallow, the liquor trickled down her lips, dripping onto her pale skin, a scene of misery and humiliation.After finishing his drink, released his hand, while ミルズ・ハミルトン covered his mouth and coughed violently, tears and snot covering his face in a disheveled state. The only sound left in the cabin was her coughing, and , being considerate, quietly left and closed the door, leaving only her and ブレイズ・ケンドル・ピクマン.Miles Hamilton collapsed on the sofa, weak and powerless, looking at Bryce Kendall Pickman, his voice filled with desperate pleading: "Mr. Lu, I'm really not Wang Xiang, I'm begging you, let me go. The one who owes you thirty million isn't me, I have friends lying in the hospital waiting for me to come save them, I can't just stay here..."Bryce Kendall Pickman watched her tear-streaked face, a strange flicker crossing his eyes, faint and too quick to grasp. He paused for a moment, then spoke slowly, his tone softening slightly: "You're not Wang Xiang, but you look like her."Miles Hamilton froze, following his gaze, only to realize that his eyes were not looking at her, but searching her face for the shadow of another person. The tenderness hidden in his eyes did not belong to her, but to the woman named Wang Xiang.“I don’t care who I look like, I am Miles Hamilton, and I am going back to save my friend.” Miles Hamilton looked up, his eyes full of determination, “Mr. Lu, please, help me get out of here. I will definitely find a way to repay you in the future.”Bryce Kendall Pickman was silent for a long time, and just as Miles Hamilton thought he would refuse, he suddenly spoke, a single word, resounding with conviction: “Alright.”Miles Hamilton froze, unable to believe his ears: "You... you agreed?"Bryce Kendall Pickman didn't answer, just reached out and grabbed her waist, his grip forceful and unyielding, leading her towards the cabin door. Miles Hamilton leaned against his chest, feeling his powerful aura and the faint scent of tobacco, his heart filled with mixed emotions—he didn't know if this was a narrow escape or another plunge into the abyss.Two people walked out of the private room, and everyone in the lobby respectfully bowed their heads, not daring to breathe. Jaden Hicks quickly greeted them, his face filled with a sycophantic smile: "Manager Lu, what's this about...""Three days." only said two words, his tone cold, with no further explanation.Jedediah Hicks instantly understood, glancing ambiguously at Miles Hamilton and quickly nodded and bowed: "Okay, okay, Boss Lu, please rest assured, I will definitely arrange it well."Walking to the entrance of the club, Miles Hamilton stopped, turned around, looked at Jaden Hicks, then looked into the depths of the club, mustered his courage, and poked's arm: "Manager Lu, please, can you take Chu Chu too? She was also kidnapped, she's very ..."Bryce Kendall Pickman's expression darkened instantly, his tone icy and menacing: "Say another word, and you get out. Stay here in this club forever."Miles Hamilton froze, terrified, not daring to say another word. She looked in the direction of the club, her heart filled with guilt and worry—Chuchu, I'm sorry, I can't save you right now. Once I'm settled, I will definitely come back to save you.Bryce Kendall Pickman shoved her into the car, closed the door, and started the engine. The car slowly pulled away from the Diamond Club, Miles Hamilton watched the scenery rushing past the window, his heart filled with confusion and unease: Why did Bryce Kendall Pickman help her? What did he mean by "three days"? Was he treating her as a substitute for Wang Xiang, or did he have another purpose?But what she didn't know was that after they left, Jaden Hicks took out his phone and dialed a mysterious number, his tone respectful: "Boss, Lu has taken the girl named Miles Hamilton away. It looks like, he has a very different attitude towards this girl..."At the other end of the line, a low, cold voice came through, saying only one sentence: "Keep an eye on them, don't let her escape."A conspiracy surrounding Miles Hamilton had only just begun.
