“You bastard! You've got a big mouth, you fucking hobo!” snapped Jessy in exasperation.In her entire career as a prostitute at Paradise Roadway, this was the first time Jessy had ever seen a loser fight the most feared pimp there. It was also the first time she, Laura, and everyone else around her had seen Ava become more patient than usual. Now Ava just stares at her phone screen.“Mommy?” asked Jessy as she saw Ava's hands trembling.“Jack Hall...” Ava hisses, raising her gaze to Jack.“Yes, that's my name.”Ava succeeded in making everyone wide-eyed when she suddenly dropped to her knees in front of Jack.“Mommy, what are you doing?” Jessy bent down and pulled on Ava's arm, which was three to four times her size, intending to help Ava up.However, without giving any explanation, Ava firmly swatted Jessy's hand away, knocking her to the floor.Jessy is about to protest. But the next scene left her mouth wide open.“I'm truly sorry, sir. I'm so regretful,” Ava said as she bowed low,

The Paradise Roadway brothel offers three types of rooms for customers who wish to stay with a prostitute or gigolo: standard room, single room, and paradise room. The cheapest rental cost is, of course, for the standard room. These are small booths lined up, measuring 3x2 meters, containing only a bed."Do you know how much the rent is per night for the best room here?" Ava stared sharply at Jack while signaling for the executioners to return to her side.Jack didn't respond; instead, he looked at Laura, who appeared pale. He put his arm around Laura's. "Calm down, Miss, everything will be fine."“What's good?” Ava snapped. “At the very least, I'll shave his hair off to break even. She lost her crown for making me lose a customer.”“You're not going to do that.” Jack gave Ava a sharp look. “Get ready to kiss my feet.”Ava burst out laughing, as did the others. They both knew that Jack, who they considered a hobo, would have to give thousands of dollars to save Laura. And that was imp

Entering the area of Paradise Roadway, Jack was greeted by the loud, lively music, the strong smell of alcohol, and the dim, colorful lights. Amidst the chaos, the flirtatious laughter of the women entertaining their clients could be heard."Sir, follow me," Laura whispered, walking quickly but stealthily.Seeing the anxious expression on Laura's face, Jack refrained from asking any questions. He followed her through the crowd, passing people dancing to the rhythm of the music.During the journey, Jack was surprised to learn that the brothel also sold clothes. He noticed display windows on both sides, complete with price tags hanging on the glass. Some items were even on sale for over 50% off. However, what was displayed in the windows were not mannequins, but real women and men. The women were on the left side, while the men were showcased on the right.In addition to mannequins being replaced by real people, what further puzzled Jack were the prices listed. The prices varied, but Ja

Jack smiled sarcastically. He deliberately stepped hard on Paul's big toe. “Relax, Mr. Hogweed. I like a bargain.”Paul grimaced. Even though Jack's weight was far below his, it was still painful for Paul to have his big toe on a pedestal. But he couldn't get angry. Paul instead held Jack's foot, “Tell me sir, I'll do anything, as long as you keep my sins a secret from Grace.”Jack removed his foot from Paul's big toe. “That's easy. Do three things for me.”Paul paused for a moment to think. If it wasn't because of his wife, he wouldn't have done those three things for Jack, let alone kneel before him like he did now. Even so, he couldn't bargain.“Yes, sir, with pleasure,” he replied while holding back his irritation.“First, apologize to her.” Jack pointed at the woman named Laura Kills.Paul turned to Laura and gave her a sharp look. In his heart, he strongly opposed Jack's request. His pride was being torn apart! But his tongue tried to negotiate nicely, “Sir, I'll do anything, b

[Congratulations, Sir, your vision is now normal.]Jack groped his eyes, repeatedly putting on his glasses only to take them off again, closing one eye alternately, and opening both eyes wide to look around. He smiled with emotion before bursting into uncontrollable laughter. Jack couldn't stop himself. It felt like being reborn, seeing the world so clearly, without the barrier of lenses.He vividly remembered how Elena and her family, as well as some of his former colleagues, often made jokes about his astigmatism. There was even a time when Tommy had deliberately taken and hidden his glasses. Somehow, Jack, who had to fumble around trying to find things due to his poor vision, had made Elena's family laugh heartily."System, how did you do it?" He still found it hard to believe. This felt like a dream![All because of your kindness, Sir. All this time, you have seen with your heart, felt the struggles of others, and have always been kind to everyone. You are able to see the gaps tha

The elevator doors opened when it reached the first floor. Jack stepped out after observing the happiness of the guests upstairs. He walked slowly, sat in a simple chair reserved for him, right at the edge of the room, without a table.Jack smiled contentedly as he noticed the staff treating the guests very well, even though their appearance was clearly different from the usual guests at the restaurant."Would you like to sample our dishes, Sir? We would be happy to prepare it for you," a woman's voice surprised Jack. It wasn't a server; it was the restaurant manager herself.Jack smiled. "Maybe a cup of coffee."Mrs. Sisca called for a waiter, asking for authentic civet coffee to be made. She asked again, "Is there anything else, Sir? I apologize that the VVIP membership didn’t exist before; for now, only the VIP room is available. But don't worry, the dishes and service we offer are certainly more special than what the VIP members usually receive."In fact, Mrs. Sisca was a bit conf

The moon was perfectly round. From the attic of Greenroad Villa, the wind made the tops of the cypress trees look like they were rubbing against the full moon. There was coffee steaming in two white cups on the wooden table. A burly hand seemed to pick up one of the cups. "It's beautiful," Claire said after her husband took a sip of coffee. She admired the night view of the place. Jack shook his head. "There is something more beautiful than this." Claire said with a beaming face. "Really?" "'Yup." Jack took another sip of his homemade coffee. "Tell me quickly. I want to see it tomorrow." Claire was getting excited. "Why wait until tomorrow?" "So, I can see it now?" "Of course!" Claire clapped her hands happily. "Where can I see it?" She pulled her chair closer to Jack. "Go to the room." Claire who was listening to her husband intently furrowed her brows. However, she still said, "Then?" "When you stand in front of the mirror, look ahead. It really is the most beautiful vie

People were surprised by Jack's reaction to what Claire had done, and Claire herself was no exception. From the time she knew Jack until they decided to get married, Jack had never yelled at her, except when she made a mistake.'Then, what did I do wrong?' Claire thought to herself as she looked at her husband.Some of the ladies in the guest seats also didn't expect the young master to yell at his wife. They held their chests in shock. In their opinion, what Claire did was right.Those impudent people deserved two or three more slaps. Some of the guests even wanted to join in grabbing their hair.If Claire was shocked, Lady was not. Although Claire's slap made her cheek hurt, she was glad to know that the young master was quick to yell at his wife for being rude. That meant, she still had a chance. Who knew what chance Lady was referring to."Young Master," Matthew said feeling the need to defend Claire. He thought, perhaps his employer had misunderstood. However, before he had a cha

Undeniably, the aura emanating from Jack made the four women depressed. They seemed to clutch at their own clothes to hide their trembling hands in fear."Lady," Jack called out as the four women fell wordlessly silent.Lady forced herself to smile. "I am, Young Master."Jack laughed to hear Lady, who had often made fun of him as a loser, now addressing him with such a title, and spoken in a gentle tone."You insist on seeing me. Tell me, after this, what do you want?" Jack stuffed both hands into his pockets.To be honest, Jack's changeable reactions, sometimes looking angry, sometimes so friendly, confused Lady. She was well aware that Jack had every right to be angry. And she would accept whatever Jack would do.Lady briefly turned her head to the right and left to see the expressions on her friends' faces. She was sure that the expression on her face now was not much different from theirs; fear, anxiety, mixed with an expression of regret.Then, she suddenly dropped to her knees i

The guards delayed dragging Sophie and her friends out because they heard authoritative words from a man. It was an utterance they couldn't possibly ignore.That's right, it was Jack himself who had restrained the guards from arresting the female troublemakers. Now, the place seemed to freeze. Everyone watched Jack's calm face as they wondered what would happen next."What's he going to do?" asked Gary as he watched Jack walk to the edge of the stage after asking his wife for a moment. Although Gary was only watching from the television screen, his breath caught in his throat.As someone who had a lot of blame on Jack, Gary was naturally worried about his life. He began to understand the bad things that kept happening to him, although it wasn't as bad as what happened to David, Gary felt frustrated with his life that kept going downhill. Looking at his current situation, it could explain all the bad luck that had befallen him.So, what if his bad luck is still going to continue? What

That one shout managed to provoke the other guests. Now the place was filled with calls for Young Master Roodenburg to kiss his wife.Both of Claire's cheeks flushed at the sound. She even removed her arms from Jack's neck, turning toward the audience with her head slightly bowed.Jack sighed seeing his wife like that. He brought his face closer to Claire's, making the audience stop their exclamations.Everyone was tense waiting for what the Young Master would do."Don't worry. I won't do it in public," Jack whispered so quietly that only Claire could hear him.She turned to her husband with a bright face. Meanwhile, the audience was still waiting for the young master to do what they expected.In that moment of silence, there was suddenly a shout from the back row of seats."YOUNG MASTER!!!"The people were startled. They looked back, to the source of the voice, to see the appearance of the woman who had so boldly called out to Young Master Roodenburg.Now, they were staring at a woma

The wedding procession of Young Master Roodenburg and Miss Claire Boutcher has been completed. Now, their friendship had officially become husband and wife with a sacred bond of love. Happiness was evident on the faces of the bride and groom, their families, and the invited guests, except for the four friends sitting in the back seats.Sophie, who had been shedding tears, now hugged Lady to hide her sobs after seeing Jack kiss Claire on the forehead. Sophie still remembered clearly that during the time she and Jack were dating, Jack had never asked for a kiss from her. Whereas when she was David's girlfriend, he asked her for everything, even on their first day of dating.Indeed, Sophie often sees Jack as a loser even when it comes to romance. While she gives David very high marks, and considers him to be a real passionate man.'But look at it now. Jack married Claire in front of the entire Rhineland town with great dignity and charisma, with no drama, no fuss, no promises of this or
