Chapter 35 The Owner
Iris’s eyes narrowed.
The moment she recognized her—
The door suddenly flew open.
A balding, overweight man stood there.
His eyes swept over her body.
Then his face broke into a leering grin.
“Well, well.”
He looked her up and down.
:
“Where did this little beauty come from?”
His voice instantly drew attention from everyone inside the room.
Several men turned their heads.
The moment they saw Iris, their eyes lit up.
“Damn.”
“Now that’s a gorgeous girl.”
The bald man stepped aside and opened the door wider.
A disgusting smile spread across his face.
“Come on in.”
“Why don’t you join us?”
“She’s just a cocktail waitress, isn’t she?”

Iris looked past the drunken men toward Hannah Cole, who was curled into a terrified ball on the couch behind them.
One of the men laughed.
“Who cares what she is?” He staggered toward Iris. “The fact that we’re paying attention to her is already a favor.”
His gaze slid over her.
“Same goes for you.”
He reached out to grab her arm.
Iris took a single step backward.
Then she kicked him.
Hard.
The man’s breath exploded from his lungs.
He flew backward several feet before slamming into a table.
The impact rattled bottles and glasses.
A woman rushed over to help him up.
Then she finally got a good look at Iris.
Her eyes widened.
“Iris Noir?”
Shock quickly turned into anger.
“You dare hit him? Do you even know who’s backing us?”
Several of the other men immediately stood up and surrounded Iris.

She tilted her head slightly. “You mean Chloe Noir?”

The woman sneered. “So you do know. And you still dared touch us? Aren’t you worried about what Chloe will-”
Iris calmly set her backpack on the floor.
Then she rolled her shoulders and flexed her wrist.
“Not really.”
The private room door slammed shut.
A few moments later, screaming women came rushing out.
Inside, deafening music continued to pound through the walls.
Mixed with it were sounds of pain.
And desperate pleading.
Elsewhere in the club, Zane remained completely unaware of the chaos.
He was discussing business with the club’s other co-owner, Marcus Lee.
“You’re selling us the rest of your shares too?”
Zane raised an eyebrow.
“At half market value?”
Marcus nodded. A family emergency had left him desperate for cash.
“And management rights.”
He shrugged.
“You’ll have complete control. No need to ask for my approval on anything.”

It was actually a very good deal.
Still, Zane needed Iris’s final approval.
Marcus suddenly remembered something.
“By the way. Shouldn’t you bring your little sister inside? My floor manager spotted her earlier.”
“Leaving a high-school girl alone in a place like this isn’t exactly safe.” He frowned. “We’ve had some troublemakers around lately. Wouldn’t want her running into them.”
Before Zane could respond, a male server came sprinting over.
“Boss!”
He was breathing hard.
“Something happened!”
“The troublemakers got into a fight with a girl in a school uniform!”
Marcus immediately jumped to his feet.
“I knew it!”
He grabbed Zane’s arm.
“Come on!”
“Is she okay?”
“We need to get over there!”
Zane looked oddly unconcerned.
Marcus pulled harder.

“Hurry!”
“That’s your sister!”
“Those guys are bad news!”
Zane’s expression became complicated.
The server quickly interrupted. “No, boss. It’s not that.”
“The girl beat them up.”
“They’re demanding to see the owner.”
Marcus blinked.
“…What?”
At that moment, he felt like he needed a cigarette.
Immediately.
Zane stood.
Then patted Marcus on the shoulder.
“You misunderstood. That’s not my sister.”
He smiled faintly.
“That’s my boss.”
Marcus had just put a cigarette in his mouth.
It dropped straight to the floor.

When Marcus and Zane entered the private room, they were greeted by an utterly surreal sight.

The room looked like a battlefield.
Broken bottles.
Smashed fruit trays.
Food scattered everywhere.
Iris sat calmly on one couch.
:
As though nothing unusual had happened.
She was pouring Hannah a glass of water.
On the opposite couch sat several bruised and battered men.
They had huddled together into a miserable pile.
Like frightened kindergarteners.
The moment they saw Marcus, their eyes lit up.
Finally.
Backup.
“Marcus!”
“There’s a violent lunatic causing trouble in your club!”
“Throw her out!”
One man with two rapidly swelling black eyes pointed at Iris.
“I’m not the owner anymore.”
Marcus folded his arms.
The man froze.

His gaze shifted toward Zane.
He looked completely ordinary.
Nothing intimidating about him.
The thug immediately relaxed.
“So you’re the new owner?”
“Fine.” He jabbed a finger toward Iris. “Throw her out.”

“If you don’t, we’ll come here every day and make sure this place can’t do business.”
Ignoring him completely, Zane walked over to Iris. He quietly explained Marcus’s offer regarding the remaining shares.
Iris glanced at Marcus.
The deal was undeniably good.
“Approved.”
Marcus immediately produced the paperwork.
