Steven and Molly were shocked to hear Brian's words. They both clearly understood what he meant by 'his woman'.
Molly gaped at Brian with a slightly open mouth. She hoped he had just made a joke, but to no avail. She couldn't see through his mind.
Looking cold and domineering, Brian fixed his dark eyes on Molly, which seemed to be full of the confidence that Molly would definitely agree.
"I won't!" Molly gritted her teeth firmly, feeling extremely humiliated.
Brian gave her a slight smile and slowly replied," It's not up to you!"
Hearing these words, Molly was lost to despair. Her body started trembling with fright, and she backed away out of instinct. The sudden movement threw Steven off balance and he almost fell down.
"I will pay the money back. I just need some time..." Trying to hide her desperation and hoping he would agree, Molly begged Brian, who looked like a cruel king.
Brian only looked at her quietly. She was trying to choke her tears back as she had done the previous night. Brian had mistaken her for Becky the day before only because of her eyes.
The complex expression that arose in Brian's eyes in response to Molly's requests made him look thoughtful. From the deep, dark look in his eyes, no one could tell that he was deeply infatuated with a woman.
"Okay!" Brian slightly narrowed his eyes and glanced at Molly who was in a pitiful state. He then flatly added," You have one night to consider my offer!"
With that, he turned around and got in his car.
Tony closed the car door and walked towards the driver's seat. Before getting in, he glanced at Molly and sighed.
Except for Becky's heart, Brian could get anything he desired.
As she watched the black, luxurious Mercedes disappear, Molly felt herself going limp and she nearly collapsed.
"Molly..." Steven's eyes were so swollen that he could hardly see a thing. He wanted to talk to Molly but his guilty conscience was stopping him, which was evident from the way he was looking at her.
Molly kept silent, a morose feeling seizing her face. She didn't even have the strength to blame her father. "Let's go! Mother's waiting for us to be back home."
Steven didn't dare ask Molly about last night in his guilt, and Molly didn't feel like telling him. Right now, only the aloof Brian and his arrogant words ran through her mind.
She couldn't earn even twenty thousand for a night.
How was she going to manage ten times that amount?
Seeing Steven and Molly come back, Daniel glared angrily at Steven. "Molly, let me warm up the food for you," he said.
"No, thanks. I won't eat much. I've got to get to the casino later!" Molly said in a flat tone. Her eyes were fixed on her mother, who was fast asleep. "How's mother?"
"She took some medicine just now and I've convinced her to go to sleep," Daniel said as he brought the food. He then fetched the medical kit and gave it to Steven.
