Chapter 26: Trouble
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Nina went to the restroom and washed her hands at the sink. She noticed Cathy fixing her makeup in front of the mirror, but the latter kept glancing toward Nina’s direction from the corner of her eye.
“Can you keep it a secret for me? I’m talking about Joel.” Cathy was dressed in a nightclub outfit. She wore a sexy low-cut tank top and a miniskirt that barely covered her thighs, showing off her pale, thin thighs.
Although Cathy, who had just turned 20, looked a little thin, she was well developed. With her exquisite makeup and black stilettos, it was hard to tell that she was just a second-year student.
She was also dressed very maturely.
Nina washed her hands and shook them. Water dripped from her white, almost translucent, fingertips. “From Brent?”
Cathy looked embarrassed. “And Molly and my dad. I don’t want them to know that I’m out playing.”
The Milton family had a strict upbringing, but young people always had their ways. For example, using Nina as an excuse to attend a racing party in town.
“Your business has got nothing to do with me, and I’m not interested.” Nina turned toward the restroom door.
Cathy shouted at Nina’s back with a helpless look on her face, “I do like Brent, but Joel and Marcus are Old Henry’s subordinates. I’m trying to get closer to them to see if I can help Claude!”
Nina did not respond to these words. She had already walked far away.
Cathy felt frustrated. She felt that Nina was looking down on her, so she subconsciously hoped to find a suitable excuse for herself.
Claude had always wanted to interview Old Henry, but he had no connections. It was a perfect opportunity for Cathy to get to know Old Henry’s deputy, and she couldn’t help feeling a little smug.
After all, Claude had always thought of her as a little girl who only knew how to mess around. Cathy thought that if she could make this happen, perhaps Claude would begin to appreciate her and recognize what she was capable of.
As for Joel, he was a big shot whom even a proud spendthrift like Marion respected. Cathy enjoyed Joel’s adoration and the greedy gaze he cast on her.
Nina was a girl from a remote village. Maybe their people were all very conservative, so she couldn’t understand what they were doing. That had to be it.
Cathy couldn’t stand being belittled by Nina. She tried to comfort herself as she touched up her makeup in front of the mirror.
At that moment, a plump, tattooed man walked over to the sink and reached down to give Cathy a hard squeeze on her butt.
“Ah!” screamed Cathy.
Marion was on his way to the restroom when he heard the scream and rushed over.
He found a fat man grabbing Cathy’s hair and slapping her.
The man was still cursing as he hit her. “You’re still pretending to be innocent when you’re out here selling yourself, you wh*re! How dare you hit me?”
Cathy’s makeup was ruined, and her tear-streaked face was filled with fear. She had been pinched in the butt by the man and had turned around to slap him. This was what happened next.
“I’m going to screw you right now. I’ll let you know that you’re only fit to beg for mercy under my crotch. Hm? You’re only a coquettish wh*re!” The fat man reeked of alcohol. He was extremely strong, and his words were obscene.
Cathy felt humiliated but mostly terrified.
As a girl who loved to dress up, enjoyed fashion and was considered pretty, she was used to enjoying the greedy gazes of men and the benefits that came with them.
However, she had never met a man who dared to be rough with her.
Cathy was too powerless to resist.
Marion’s father owned a five-star hotel and was quite famous in Cambridge, so he became acquainted with many people in society because of his family wealth. No one in the area around LG University dared to provoke him.
When Joel and Marcus rebutted him in front of everyone, he was placed in an awkward position. Feeling suffocated, he came out of the room and came across this scene, immediately finding an outlet for his anger.
Marion went up and kicked the fat man.
