After about an hour, Ruth was almost asleep when she suddenly felt a bright light in front of her.
The car had stopped.
She was escorted by the shoulders to another place.
“We’re here.”
In this conspiracy, Ibrahim was just a minor executor.
The real mastermind behind it was the eldest daughter of the Gilliam family.
After delivering Ruth to the destination, he received a thick reward and left with a smile.
“Thank you, please thank Miss Libby for me.”
As for Ruth…
Along with the permanent “contract of servitude,” she was handed over to another person.
The woman looked particularly fat, of medium height, with a round face covered in heavy makeup.
Her shiny black hair was braided and pinned up at the back, with a gaudy red flower at her temple.
Her neck and fingers were adorned with glittering gold necklaces, truly embodying the phrase “walking gold vault.”
She lazily took the blood-stamped paper and glanced at Ruth’s figure.
“Alright, not bad. Take her inside.”
When Ruth opened her eyes again, she found herself in a completely unfamiliar room.
Above her was a dazzling and dreamy light, and she could faintly hear music coming from upstairs.
“Where is this?” she asked uneasily.
The next moment, a middle-aged woman dressed in luxurious clothes, with a cigar in her mouth and high heels clicking, walked up to her with an air of elegance.
“Where is this? Haha… let me tell you.”
“This is a place where countless women realize their dreams, and men find their paradise.”
“Every guest here never wants to leave.”
As she spoke, she blew a puff of smoke into Ruth’s face.
The girl coughed lightly, her heart sinking.
If she guessed correctly, this should be Zheemond’s most famous club.
“Not used to the smoke? Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it once you start working here.”
“Please… let me go. I’m about to graduate. I… I can work to pay off my debt.”
She had worked so hard all her life to change her fate and not repeat her mother’s path.
But in the end… she still ended up here.
The fat woman laughed after hearing this.
She had lived here for over ten years and had seen all kinds of people.
Many girls came here because of debt or betrayal by their boyfriends.
So what?
“Do you see those girls? They now wear gold and silver every day, earning $20, 000 a month…”
“Isn’t that better than working outside in the wind and sun? And do you think a college graduate can earn much?”
“You don’t know, right? Let me tell you… only $6, 000!”
The worst part is that Zheemond doesn’t even have that many jobs available!
Ruth’s eyes dimmed.
Seeing her wavering, the fat woman pressed on:
“Think about it carefully. I won’t force you.”
“Anyway, your family has already sold you here. You can’t escape. I have ways to bring you back.”
“I’ll come back when you’ve made up your mind.”
“Oh, you can call me Gold. I love gold so much that I gave myself this nickname.”
Gold was a well-known procuress locally.
The girls under her care were all talented and beautiful, enthusiastic and proactive, well-loved by clients.
Sometimes she even helped girls from poor families, earning their respect.
Gold’s words hit home for Ruth.
A college graduate can only earn $6, 000…
While the girls here can make $20, 000 a month!
That’s reality!
For a moment, she even questioned the meaning of all her years of studying.
“Wait, I… I agree!”
Hearing the response from behind her, Gold let out a disdainful chuckle without turning around.
“Good.”
She thought this girl was stubborn and proud, but she was persuaded with just a few words.
“Apple, you take her. First, let her freshen up. Three days of training, then she starts officially.”
“Yes.”
After giving these instructions, Gold left.
Apple, the round-faced girl with short hair, was relatively polite to Ruth.
“Come with me. By the way, your name is too plain. Think of a new one.”
Ruth felt infinite sorrow. A name might not mean much; as Apple said, it’s just a code name.
But for her, it meant abandoning everything from her past and becoming someone else.
“Alright. Why don’t you help me choose one?”
“Well… do you have a favorite fruit?”
“I’m called Apple because I like apples.”
“No.”
Ruth answered crisply.
“Hmm… then I’ll call you Peach.”
“Peach, follow me. Although we’re selling ourselves, it’s still a service industry. There’s a lot to learn about serving people.”
Three days later, Peach started working officially.
Entering the private room and seeing the person inside for the first time made Peach panic; her heart raced.
Sweat broke out on her forehead, back, and palms…
Because Gold had arranged for her first client to be someone she knew-
Lord Parker of the Crete family!
Why him?
Wasn’t he supposed to be in the hospital?
After nearly half a month in the hospital, Lord Parker’s external injuries had mostly healed.
As for certain other issues, even the doctors couldn’t help.
He didn’t believe the quack’s conclusion and called some friends to the club for some excitement.
To test his prowess.
At the same time, Lord Parker’s gaze skipped over the girl standing in front of him.
He immediately spotted Ruth among the crowd due to her tall figure.
She looked very different today, wearing a tight red dress that barely covered her hips.
Her hair was curled, and she wore heavy makeup that made her look entirely different from the pure girl he remembered.
It seemed like it was her first time doing this job.
She wasn’t as relaxed as the others; she kept her head down and didn’t speak.
“Is your name Ruth? I think that’s right!”
Lord Parker turned to ask his bodyguard behind him.
The bodyguard quickly took off his sunglasses and glanced at Ruth’s face, nodding in confirmation.
“Yes, young master. It’s her!”
“Good! Tell Gold that I want her… everyone else can leave!”
“Yes.”
The other women showed disappointed expressions when they heard Lord Parker only wanted the new girl Peach.
Ruth felt like she had received a death sentence and trembled all over.
