chapter 12 Just you

The private room door slowly opened, and Ella was stunned by the scene inside. Standing at the doorway, she hesitated and dared not enter.
She had been to KTV before, but it was just to sing with her best friends. She never expected such a scene.
However, the thought of her daughter waiting for money to save her life in the hospital compelled her to grit her teeth and step inside.
"Miss Gu, what brings you here?" Miles, with a lascivious smile, placed a girl from his arms on the side and adjusted his clothes, putting on a gentlemanly facade.
"I... I..." Ella bit her lip, reluctant to speak.
"Miss Gu, are you facing some difficulties? If there's anything I can help with, I'll do my best. Come, have a seat, and tell me." Miles patted the seat next to him.
Sitting at a slight distance, Ella obliged. Miles then instructed his henchman, "Go get Miss Gu a glass of water!"
The henchman understood implicitly and turned to leave.
"You all leave now," Miles said, throwing several stacks of red bills onto the coffee table, "Divide it yourselves and leave quickly."
"Thank you, Young Master Wang!"
A group of girls shouted in unison.
They loved generous young masters like him, easily making five times more money in one night than usual.
Miles's attention, however, was now solely on Ella. While he had played with many girls before, Ella, being a former rich girl expelled from the Gu Family, was a new challenge.
"Miss Gu, have a drink first." Miles took the water glass from his henchman and handed it to Ella.
Thirsty after her journey to find Young Master Wang, Ella drank several sips without much thought.
Seeing her drink, Miles felt triumphant. He had added a considerable amount of drugs to the water, enough to have his way with her the entire night.
"Now, tell me, Miss Gu, what can I help you with?" Miles changed his expression, lit a cigarette, and leaned back on the sofa with crossed legs.
In Miles's eyes, Ella was now within easy reach, waiting for the drugs to take effect.
"I... I want to borrow a hundred thousand dollars from you." Ella, bowing her head deeply, knew what borrowing money from such a person implied.
"Hey, I thought it was something significant. It's just borrowing money, right? Anything that money can solve is not a big deal for me." Miles retrieved a bank card from his pocket and tossed it onto the table, saying, "There's one million in this card; you take it first."
"No, no, Young Master Wang, I don't need that much, just a hundred... hundred thousand..."
Ella's words were cut off by Miles, who raised his hand to stop her.
"Miss Gu, money is not a problem for me. I spend more in tips in one night than this amount."
"This one million is for sponsoring you, and within a month, you need to be at my beck and call."
"If you don't agree..." Miles smirked, spreading his hands, "Then forgive me for being unable to help."
Ella had made thorough preparations before coming, but hearing Miles say this way made her unable to bear the instant humiliation. She trembled, and tears desperately circled in her eyes.
Her daughter's life depended on the money, but she would never make this choice if there were any other options.
"I... I agree."
Biting her lip, Ella uttered the three words. Blood oozed from the bitten lip. Ella felt like a lifeless soul, and tears uncontrollably streamed down.
Miles wore a triumphant smile. The conquest of Ella, who was different from the usual girls that he could easily win over with money, provided him with immense satisfaction.
His tongue licked his lips, and he impatiently reached out to undress Ella. Since she had agreed, he couldn't wait for the drugs to take effect passively. Compared to being passive, taking the initiative was more appealing.
The top button at the neckline had just been unfastened, revealing a pristine expanse of whiteness that made Miles swallow hard.
Ella's allure, within the scope of Jinghai, comprised an unparalleled beauty. Coupled with her status as a wealthy young lady, she outshone those internet celebrities by far.
In the depths of despair, Ella's heart was suddenly flooded with remorse towards Fernando.
Despite the drugged encounter they had years ago, and her lingering resentment toward Fernando, her body still belonged to him. Moreover, they had a precious daughter together. If anyone could claim her, it would be Fernando alone in this lifetime.
As the second button of her collar was about to be unbuttoned, a loud bang echoed, and the room door suddenly smashed.
Miles hadn't seen who it was when a bottle swiftly flew in.
"Snap!"
A crisp sound accompanied by the splattering of blood.
"Ah!"
Miles let out a scream, covering his head with both hands, blood streaming through his fingers.
"Fer... Fernando!"
Ella was filled with astonishment and joy. This was the second time she faced danger, and Fernando descended like a god.
For some reason, when she saw Fernando, she felt an inexplicable sense of security, as if he could bear the weight of the world on his broad shoulders.
"Damn! It's you, the cursed dog!" Miles, glimpsing through his fingers, identified the intruder.
The fact that Fernando was hunted by the Gu Family years ago was unknown to ordinary people, but these aristocratic families were well aware.
A waste who had been hiding for seven years dared to return and injured him. Miles was infuriated.
"Men!"
With Miles's furious roar, a group of bodyguards rushed in, led by a two-meter-tall giant.
This man's name was Jack, hired by Hongda Group for millions every year as a Hatchet Man, a Supreme Martial Artist-level expert, and Miles's bodyguard.
"Jack, kill him for me!"
"Oh, no." Miles pondered for a moment and said, "First, disable his limbs. Don't let him die. This girl is his woman. I want him to witness how I play with his woman. Haha..."
Jack had no interest in women, but the other bodyguards secretly rejoiced. Such a romantic encounter scene was not easily come by, especially with such stunning beauty. Now they could feast their eyes.
"Seeking death!"
Fernando's eyes turned extremely cold; he regarded Ella as his woman.
Insulting the woman of Annihilation Palace's Palace Master was akin to insulting the Palace Master himself.
"To remain so calm in front of me, you are the first." Jack flexed his well-built muscles, standing in front of Fernando like a tank with his two-meter-tall body.
In the next second, his hands turned into claws, whistling towards Fernando's arms.
"Fernando, run!" Ella's face was full of worry as she anxiously shouted. In her eyes, Fernando was not the opponent of the other side, and with their superior numbers, the situation looked grim.
"Run? Hehe... No one has escaped from Jack so far." Miles sneered, his gaze sharp. He wanted to witness Fernando being disabled with his own eyes.
