Jaylee Wood suddenly shook off his hand and stepped back Her voice was right wrath an show some respect! I’m just a cleaner here

“A cleaner Eddie sneered. His eyes looked even more shameless. The used like that idea? W trying to fool? Stop pretending to be innocent

As he spoke, he reached out to grab her again.

“I didn’t! Let go of met Jaylee shouted. Fear and anger mized in her voice as the struggled

The noise quickly drew the attention of the bar manager, Kose Nunez

Rose walked over, hips swaying. The moment she saw the scene, her face darkened. Instead of asking what happened, she immediately started scolding Jaylee. “What is wrong with you? Causing trouble with a quest again! Mr. Whitman asking you to have a drink with him is a compliment! Hurry up and apologue to him!”

Jaylee bit her lip. Her face was pale, but she refused to lower her head. Ms. Rowe, I’m a cleaner, not an escort! H–he was touching me!”

“So what?” Rose waved her hand impatiently. People come here to have fun. Why are you acting like some saint? Hurry up and behave. Don’t push your luck! Otherwise, forget about your pay this month. I’ll fire you on the spot!”

Eddie grinned proudly and reached out to grab Jaylee’s chin. “You heard your manager. Be a good girl. take good care of you.”

Jaylee stared at the hand coming toward her and at Rose’s coldness. Her eyes filled with despair and anger. In her mind, she saw the image of her sick mother lying in a hospital bed. Her whole body trembled

She wanted to endure it, but she couldn’t. Suddenly, she raised her hand. Smack! Jaylee knocked Eddie’s hand away.

That move completely enraged him.

“Bitch! You don’t know what’s good for you!” Eddie shouted angrily. He swung his arm and slapped Jaylee hard across the face.

“Arghhh!”

Jaylee cried out. The blow sent her stumbling backward. She crashed into a large vase behind her. Her cheek swelled instantly, and a thin line of blood appeared at the corner of her mouth.

“You dare to glare at me?” Eddie lifted his foot and prepared to kick her. Looks like someone needs to teach you a lesson today!”

Rose stood nearby, watching coldly. She made no move to stop him.

Some people around them glanced over. But in a place like this, scenes like this were not rare. Most people

Just as Eddie’s foot was about to hit Jaylee-

“Tsk.”

A voice full of impatience and faint mockery sounded nearby.

Then a tall figure stepped forward calmly and stopped right in front of Jaylee.

Eddie’s kick landed squarely on the man’s lower leg. The force was strong.

But Lucas didn’t even frown. He simply lowered his head and brushed off a speck of invisible dust from his pant leg. Only then did he lift his eyes. His usual smiling eyes were cold now. They rested on Eddie’s face without warmth.

Lucas spoke calmly. “Eddie, if you’ve had too much to drink, go home and sleep it off. Making a scene and bullying a young girl here–do you know how bad it will reflect on you when it gets out?”

His voice wasn’t loud. It carried the same lazy tone he always used. Yet the moment he spoke, the whole room seemed to fall quiet.

Eddie finally saw who it was. Half the alcohol left his head at once. Panic flashed across his face, but with so many people watching, he didn’t want to lower his pride. “M–Mr. Lucas?” he stammered. “This girl doesn’t know the rules. I’m just helping Rose teach her a lesson.”

“Teach her a lesson?” Lucas raised an eyebrow and stepped closer. He was tall and long–legged, and the pressure he gave off was hard to ignore. “From what I see, it looks like you’re picking a fight and harassing an employee.”

Seeing the situation turn bad, Rose hurried over with a forced smile/“Mr. Lucas, please calm down. It’s just a misunderstanding. Jaylee was being rude and upset Mr. Whitman! I’ll have her apologize right away.”

“A misunderstanding?” Lucas glanced at her with a smile. “My eyes work fine. Since when did this place become Eddie’s backyard, where he can hit whoever he wants?”

Rose’s face stiffened. She forced a weak smile but didn’t dare say another word.

She couldn’t offend Lucas.

Eddie felt a chill under Lucas’s stare. He knew he wouldn’t win today. Grinding his teeth, he swallowed his anger and shot a fierce glare at Jaylee, who was hiding behind Lucas. Then he left in a hurry, looking embarrassed.

Only then did Lucas turn to Jaylee.

The girl covered her swollen cheek with one hand. A trace of blood lingered at the corner of her mouth. Her hair was messy, and she looked completely worn down.

“Th–thank you,” she said softly. Her voice trembled, though she tried to stay calm.
