After speaking, Bentley shook his head in disappointment, turned and walked towards the main door of Paradise Club, then picked up the phone, and made a phone call: "Arwood, I have something to do, I can't have fun with everyone today, you guys just play as much as you want, then put my name on the bill. Just like that."

Ashley stood alone in the corner of the hall, like a statue, not moving at all. Only, as she got closer, her shoulders trembled, she let her arms hang close to her body, her hands clenched into fists, and she lowered her head to look at her feet as if a treasure was waiting to be picked up at her feet… She tried her best to suppress the urge to scream, her throat seemed to be making some strange sounds.


Yes, yes! Bentley, was right, thousands of people had been in prison, some had rotted to the bone, some had worked hard to live the rest of their lives… Did he think she didn't want to? Did he think she wanted to live like this? Did he think the things she didn't want to do could be done without doing them?

Bentley, thousands of people had been in prison and then released, but they had relatives, status, and connections.

What about her?


What did she have?

A person without a past, when she just got out of prison, she only had a few dollars, a set of clothes, an ID card, and nothing else.


Relatives, house, connections, friends, no matter how helpless she was, she still needed a place to shelter from the rain and sun, right, but she had nothing. She was a blank piece of paper with the words 're-education camp prisoner" written on it, nothing else.




In that dark corner, as if covered by a layer of dark clouds, under those dark clouds, that woman, her hands trembling, took out her phone and looked at it, sniffed, raised her head, slowly turned around, lifted her feet, and walked towards the elevator.

She refused to give up, there were only 40 minutes left, and she had to fight until the last moment…

Ashley limped into the elevator.

Who could be truly brave, who wouldn't be heartbroken… But, she still had more important things to deal with. For those who lived in hell, it wasn't that they didn't hurt, they just lost the right to cry because of pain.

Bentley had stabbed a knife deep into Ashley's heart. But she, just as the elevator door opened again, raised her head, looked at the elevator mirror, raised her finger, a smile appeared on her face, sniffed, suppressed all the pain, raised her head to regain her spirit, and said to herself: 'There are still 1.7 billion left."

'Hey, hey, did you hear? I just saw Ashley. Wherever she goes, she asks others if they have any work, she can do anything."

'This woman, is crazy about money, but she is like this, she is not suitable for the public relations department. I don't understand why the superiors let a rat like her in here, isn't it just to lower the average quality of our department."

'She hasn't found a job for a month, right? I think she's crazy, asking about our room again and again today."

In the bathroom, a few people from the public relations department were standing in front of the sink to put on makeup, chatting about some trivial things.

"Okay, don't mention her anymore, I'm bored, let's go, Arwood hasn't been here for a long time, those young bosses, they booked the VIP room on the 6th floor today, let's go to Arwood's room."

Those women with flashy makeup went to the 6th floor together.

Ashley dragged out all the people she could ask for help, but there was no result, and dejectedly returned to the public relations department's break room.

She raised her head to look at the clock in the break room, time passed by every second and minute.

Madow sent her a text message, saying that Milan would arrive at Paradise Club in 20 minutes.

She knew Milan, who was always punctual, said one is one, two is two, and the disappointment in her heart grew more and more big.

'Hey, Ashley, follow me."

The door of the break room was pushed open, she just raised her head, and saw Meadow's face, standing there, looking at her.

'Meadow?" Ashley was startled, her face pale: 'He's here?"

Did he come so quickly?

Ashley at this moment, helpless like a child, Meadow was sad, panting, she took a deep breath, then looked at Ashley indifferently: 'The boss hasn't arrived yet, you follow me."

'Meadow?"

Meadow frowned: 'What are you still standing there for? I'll take you to meet a client I know."

Ashley immediately stood up: 'Meadow, I'm here."

Meadow didn't say anything, just leading Ashley upstairs.

'6th floor?" Ashley's expression was a little surprising.

'You think that even the customers on the 6th floor can't pay the fee, and can still reward 1.7 billion?" Meadow stopped in front of the private room, 'Ashley, I can only help you to this extent, I shouldn't have brought you here… There are things I can't say, you should know, I like you, but I also want to live well."

Ashley lowered her head, she knew what Meadow's unclear words meant, she knew that Meadow had brought her to this private room today, to make this decision, Meadow had struggled a lot in her heart, 'Meadow, I know everything. Thank you very much. I understand everything."

The words "I understand everything", said it all, Meadow's eyes twitched slightly, meticulously looking at the woman standing in front of her... Ashley, a person who saw through everything but did not open her mouth, was a woman who truly understood.

Meadow stopped looking at Ashley, knocked on the door, and said to Ashley who was standing behind: "The things I can do, only up to this point, but whether there will be a miracle or not, depends on your luck."

Ashley suddenly thought of something, tightly grasping Meadow's hand that was knocking on the door: "Meadow, the customer you know in this private room, what is his name?"

"His last name is Arnold... Wait, Ashley, where are you going?" Meadow had not finished speaking when she saw Ashley's face pale as she turned around to leave, Meadow pulled Ashley's hand back: "What do you want to do?"

She frowned, not understanding why, holding Ashley tightly, because she had just knocked on the door of the private room, unexpectedly the customer inside was so agitated that he ran out to open the door.

'Meadow, didn't you say you wanted to bring someone, why are you only here now." Arwood stood at the door, his eyes glancing excitedly at Ashley, he still didn't recognize Ashley, but the clothes on Ashley's body, he felt very familiar: 'Oh my god, isn't this the young master's girl we just met in the elevator?"

Arwood walked over and circled in front of Ashley, he gently stretched out his finger and grabbed Ashley's chin.

Ashley lowered her head, trying to resist.

'Hey! Are you embarrassed again, still won't let me see your face?" The rogue Arwood immediately stepped forward, 'I must see your face today."

Meadow stood beside him and said, 'Ashley, don't be afraid, Arwood was just teasing you, he's a very good person."

Arwood's finger that was stroking Ashley's chin immediately stopped, looking at her suspiciously.

The man was bowing his head, then asked Meadow, "You just said... What's her name?"

Ashley was surprised, and resolutely said: "Meadow, don't say it."
