Then a strong and robust bodyguard stood in front of her.
“Sir, here is the place of the Royal Club. What are you doing? No one dare to be rude to the staff in this club.”
Mr. Du hesitated. Even he came from the south, he still heard of the powerful background of the Royal Club.
Suddenly, a man stepped in the box from outside, and he whispered a few words to Mr. Du. Hearing that, the hesitation lingering in his eyes was soon dissipated, “Miss Carter, I heard that you have been banished by the Royal Club. Since then, you will never be protected by the club.”
Hearing that, Ruby suddenly recalled the words of Gloria that day. Her face turned ghastly pale at that time, “No!!! Don’t do that to me!”
“Don’t worry, Miss Carter. We won’t do anything to hurt you. What I want is that I need you to perform me a show.”
“What show?”
“You will know when you see the tool my friend brought for me.” While speaking, a huge apparent box was sent in the private box.
That huge box was place vertically, with a height of three meters.
That huge box looked quite familiar with a coffin placed in the same way, but with a bigger space than the coffin. It could easily fit three or even four people in.
This huge coffin-liked box was sealed tight all over except for the top, where there was no lid covering on it.
In the dark corner of the corridor, Franklin snubbed out the cigarette and threw the butt into the trash bin when he saw the huge box was sent into the box. Then he turned around and left.
Meanwhile, in the private box.
“Miss Carter,” Mr. Du took out a check with a smile. Then he wrote an enormous figure in the view of Ruby. After that, Mr. Du handed it over to Ruby, “Miss Ruby, here is the reward I pay for your performance.”
“One million?” Ruby could not help but scream. She felt like the number on the check was too dazzling. But then she started to doubt that what kind of performance would be worth one million dollars.
Ruby stared at Mr. Du alertly, “What kind of performance it would be?” Though feeling suspicious, she still wanted to get that money.
Mr. Du pointed at the huge box, “Miss Carter, have you seen a live person struggling fiercely in the water? That is the performance I want to see. Please get inside.”
At that time, those workers who sent the box in had already started to transfused water into the box from bathroom. The water mounted slowly in the box.
The delicate face of Ruby turned pale again.
“No! No! I will drown!” Ruby shook her head with her ghastly pale face.

How can a woman suffer so much? How can a man be too cruel initially robbing her of dignity and all, then deceiving her after he knows he loves her? How can they not remarry, making their offspring illegitimate? The line between love and hatred is truly fine indeed! Thank you for this story....
