Chapter 3 I was here to make money

  • Five years later, Romantic city's largest night club the Imperial Capital.
  • In the fitting room, Grace stood backstage changing clothes, she picked up the fox mask on the table to cover the fearsome scar on her left face, and took out lipstick and drew herself an enchanting red.
  • 'Hey, have you heard? Mr. Carl is going to marry the second daughter of Chi family.'
  • 'Yes, the wedding is just a week later. I heard that Mr. Carl has booked the largest five-star hotel in Romantic city and has invited many reporters and stars. The wedding scene will be grand.'
  • 'Mr. Carl really spoils Stella...'
  • 'They have been together for five years, and their relationship must be very deep.'
  • Grace's hand that was holding the lipstick quivered slightly.
  • It has been five years, she still felt heartache when she heard the name again.
  • However, she did not expect that during the five years she has been put in the mental hospital, Carl has been with Stella and was now getting married. Ha ha, it was really ironic.
  • Unfortunately, she was no longer the eldest daughter of Chi family.
  • She had no mind to take care of these gossips. She was here to make money.
  • She put away her lipstick and turned to leave.
  • She was a barmaid, wearing a mask to recommend all kinds of red wine to the guests every day. She had a good figure and had the means, so the sales volume has been good in the past month.
  • But she never dreamed that she would meet Carl here.
  • In the huge luxurious private room with feasting and revelry, the lust was mixed with laughter and slapstick.
  • After five years of absence, Grace recognized him at a glance. He was sitting in the center of the private room, his slender fingers were shaking the goblet, and the distance and cold in his eyes were exactly the same as five years ago.
  • At the moment when she met his eyes, Grace quickly turned her face away.
  • But he recognized her at a glance.
  • He rushed forward, tore off her mask, grabbed her hair and pressed her on the table, trying to see her clearly through the light.
  • He was not mistaken. The woman he found was indeed Grace.
  • But when he saw her face, His pupils shrank and his eyes changed rapidly. 'Grace, your face...'
  • She didn't speak, just raised her cold and cheerless eyes and looked directly at him.
  • What was the matter? Were you surprised? Was it terrible?
  • Carl, thanks to you that I have become like this!
  • For five years, he threatened her with Lily and sent people to torture her day and night. Her hair was pulled out one by one, her face was cut with a knife, her long hair turned into a buzz cut, and the skin on her left face was completely rotten, so she could only wear a mask to do this kind of work in this dark place.
  • A month ago, when she learned that Lily was dead, she ran out of the mental hospital desperately. She just wanted to live...
  • She promised that person that she could not die, and she would protect him for her...
  • But the moment she met Carl, she knew that she could not live.
  • 'Sister? Are you my sister Grace?' Stella came out of nowhere and her shrill voice attracted everyone's attention.
  • She went around to the front of Grace, took Grace's hand and said with a sharp voice, 'Sister, it's very good that you are back. In those years you killed Caleb and hid in a mental hospital, and you mysteriously disappeared a month ago. We couldn't find you and we were worried. It's good that you have come back. Why didn't you go back to our family?'
  • This was Stella, who was first-class in hypocrisy and exaggeration.
  • Grace shook her hand off like she was a fly, turned her face away and said nothing.
  • 'Sister, don't do this. No matter what you have done wrong, you are a member of our family.' Stella squeezed out a few tears like it was real. 'Look at you. You have to make yourself so embarrassed outside. Your face is disfigured, and still you become a barmaid at such a place. If you are short of money, tell me. I have money and I will give it to you.'
  • At this point, she took out a card from her purse and handed it to Grace.
  • Grace stared at her mockingly, feeling quite ridiculous.
  • Once she would definitely throw the card directly in her face and let her get away, but now she was really short of money.
  • So she reached out and was ready to accept her 'kindness.'
  • However, before she touched the card, Carl grabbed it and stared at her with a sneer: 'You want money? It's not that easy.'
  • When his voice stopped, he threw all the red wine bottles on the table to the ground, the glass debris was all over the floor. Then he took out the cheque and stood in the center, sarcastically saying, 'Climb over on your knees, 100,000 at a time.'
