She was afraid of being beaten.

It's not that she's afraid of pain, it's that she's afraid that when she's beaten, the self-love inside will be broken.


Milan, do you know that, in that prison, I did not dare to shed tears, every time I shed a tear, I would have to endure a battle of life and death.

Did you know Ashley is no longer Ashley?

Did you know that, being forced to sleep next to the toilet, when everyone laughed at me, I used to think I was not a human being but an animal, a dog, a pig?


'Let me ask you one last time, Ashley, do you have no dignity anymore?" The man was cold as ice. Until now, his inner feelings have never been exposed to the outside, and even others cannot see his thoughts.

Who could see the anger and pain hidden in that ice-cold voice, even though he didn't realize it?


Ashley's hands on the floor were shaking.

Hastily bowing her head, she stared at the floor in front of her.

What is dignity and respect?

Three years of suffering in prison soon passed.

Her eyes were bitter and uncomfortable, in her ears was the voice of a little girl. Her name was Lorne, she said: Ashley sister, cry, seeing you miserable like that, I feel uncomfortable. I'll help you guard the door, I won't let them see. Please feel free to cry for a while.

Then she cried.

After that, the remaining girl, Lorne, was implicated by her and beaten together.

Milan, I don't even have the right to cry.

You say dignity, what is that?

'Ashley is no longer Ashley." Ashley's hoarse voice told Milan so.

At this moment, the elusive Milan opened his eyes wide, looking at this woman in disbelief.

She immediately... Said so.

She immediately... Admitted it.

The atmosphere was momentarily quiet.

In the bedroom, a strange, eerie atmosphere spread... Suddenly.

The man's thin lips slowly raised a smile. "If you say these words yourself, I don't want to be a bad person who betrays your wishes. After today, please 'do a good job' at Club Paradise."

Ashley quietly smiled bitterly.

Her eyes drooped, eyes filled with sadness that she did not want others to see.

Milano, why is it like that?

Isn't it thanks to you that I am who I am today?

My body is not healthy, my spirit is broken... What have you left for me? And you still want to tell me to maintain that arrogant self-esteem?

There's no need to act like you don't know anything.

You ordered someone else to transform me into my current form, don't you understand these things clearly?

Why do you still want me to keep the same look Ashley had three years ago? That arrogant, flighty figure.

'Thank you, Mr. Milan."

Her pale lips were torn, even the slightest touch was painful.

These words easily made the man angry.

"Go away."

"Yes."

'I told you to get out."

Milan looked at the woman coldly as ice, but the person opposite completely complied, without any dissatisfaction or hesitation, thinking it was true, and just like that she curled up into a ball. 'Yes, Mr. Milan."

Her listening to him like that made others even more disgusted.

Her shamelessness makes others even more unhappy.

Just like that... Milan quickly lifted his foot, walked a few steps in front of the 'ball', used his long arms to pick up this 'ball', quickly walked to the elevator door, and threw it in. "Go away. Don't dirty my eyes."

The elevator goes all the way down.

The door opened and Meadow rushed over. "Are you okay?"

She heard that Mr. Milan had taken people away.

Lorne, that person, always did not bother to interfere in other people's affairs.

Meadow looked Ashley up and down once. If it were said that Ashley had a beautiful appearance, a hot body, and fascinated Lorne, this explanation would be too forced. This woman in front of her... Meadow shook her head.

The hand held Ashley tightly. As soon as she picked it up, surprise flashed in her eyes. She raised her head to look at Ashley's face. 'Are you shaking?"

"I'm fine."

'…" Meadow silently glanced, after all, she wanted Ashley to open her mouth to speak, which was even more difficult than going to heaven.

'This temper of yours is too stubborn."

Ashley was silent.

'Are you hungry? I'll take you out to eat something to nourish your body. You don't need to do anything else today."

Meadow doesn't understand why she has to be with someone like Ashley, who doesn't want her looks, her body, her nothing.

Actually… Maybe she knows. Just don't want to admit it.

Treating Ashley a little better means treating herself a little better that year.

'No need. There is a dining room here."

'You…" This woman is stubborn.

Meadow shook her head, everyone said Ashley was a coward and had no dignity. How can one see the arrogance of this woman that everyone considers inferior?

'Before, you must have been a confident person." Unintentionally, Meadow said something.

Ashley trembled. After a long time, like an eternity, she slowly touched his lips. "Before... it seemed like a lifetime ago."

'Wait a minute, this check is for you." Meadow handed Ashley a check. 'Lorne told me to give it to you."

'That much?" The moment Ashley looked at the number on the check, she was scared to death.

Meadow smiled bitterly, 'I was also very surprised at that time. Ashley, tell me, what did you do to him that he is so generous?" Frankly, it's 50 thousand dollars.

Such generosity is not uncommon at the Paradise Club.

But, Ashley...?

Meadow looked at Ashley again, it wasn't that she despised Ashley, it was just that now the world looked at each other and talked.

Lorne is handsome, polite, popular, and of extraordinary status. In S city, he and Milan are often mentioned.

'Meadow, can you help me send this to that card?" Ashley gave the check back to Meadow. 'Meadow, is there anything I can do?"

"You..."
