ChApte: 10 Fortunately, I didn’t call him
Once she got her things ready, Brian sent his assistant, Noah, to pick her up. Jennifer carried her bag and got into a
Porsche. She thought Noah would send her straight to Brian’s house, but he took her to the mall instead.
Several stylists and make-up artists surrounded her, styled her waist-length hair, and put delicate make- up on her.
They made her put on a valuable evening gown, looking as if it had been tailor-made for her, so perfect that there was no flaw. On her neck was a pure diamond necklace worth tens of millions of dollars. It was the perfect finish to her outfit, making her look noble, elegant, and stunning.
She looked at her shiny self in the mirror and felt very strange. She felt unlike herself but more like Ginny instead. If Shaun saw her like this, he might think she was deliberately imitating Ginny. She laughed to herself, her smile a little bitter.
After the makeover, Noah quickly sent her off into the night. They went to Boston’s biggest money- spinning den. All the people who went there were rich and famous.
The main attraction was that it was extremely privacy- oriented. There is no surveillance at all, and even if there was, it would be difficult to access.
Many rich kids liked to do nasty and unpleasant things there. That was where Brian chose to meet her. When she realized where she was, she became 80% sure he wanted to play her directly to death.
As she went up in the elevator, Jennifer’s heart began to race at the thought of being violated.
Seeing that the elevator was approaching the top floor, she
steadied her mind, squeezed the bag in her hand, and followed Noah out of the elevator to the door of a private box.
Noah took out a VIP card, swiped it, and the luxurious and atmospheric automatic door slowly opened. Once the door opened, the ambiguous light inside spilled out, and soothing European and American music greeted her ears. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
This was a little surprising to Jennifer. She had assumed that Brian’s taste would be flashy, but the decor here was high- end and the atmosphere was fresh. Even the music was not as deafening as the nightclub, but rather quite comfortable.
As Jennifer stood in the doorway to survey, a wide, strong hand suddenly looped around her waist. Brian took her into his arms and kissed her cheek, “You’re so pretty today, baby.”
She was disgusted and wanted to vomit. She tilted her head to avoid his touch but accidentally saw the man sitting on the sofa area.
He was wearing a white shirt with a slightly open collar, revealing a seductive and alluring collarbone. His sleeves had been rolled up, revealing his strong arms, ending with lean, bony fingers that held a tall glass. The red wine within the cup glistened with an almost creepy blood-red light underneath the dim light.
Jennifer was not expecting Shaun to be here and was slightly surprised. She originally thought Shaun and Brian were not in the same circle. At least the Murphys were a family of Asian plutocrats who held the lifeblood of the entire Asian
economy, and the Marc family was just a giant of Boston, which was insignificant compared to the Murphy family.
It had never occurred to her that these two extremes could

meet in private in such entertainment places. Jennifer was suddenly a little glad she hadn’t called Shaun that day.
Otherwise, she would not only lose face but also be rejected mercilessly. After all, how could Shaun offend his best friend for her?
But… why did he look at her with that expression? Was it because he saw her being kissed by another man? Could he have gotten mad at that?
Jennifer was still thinking about this when he suddenly
withdrew his gaze indifferently like it had been no more than a casual glance.
Jennifer’s heart shuddered. She knew that someone as cool as Shaun would not care if she was being kissed. She also
averted her gaze and concentrated on Brian. “Mr. Marc, why did you bring me to a place like this?”
Brian dotingly pinched her face. “First, I’ll take you to meet some friends, then we’ll go have some fun.”
Jennifer’s expression flickered for a moment when she heard this. It seemed she had to think of a way to get out of it quickly.
As she was thinking about how to deal with Brian later, he suddenly pushed her in front of Shaun.
