Chapter 45 Rectification

“Mr. X gave Jade a sum of money and asked her to buy clothes and daily necessities for you according to a list. Those things will be sent here right away. Are you sure you really don’t know that?” Vera asked Shannon suspiciously. In her eyes, Shannon was pretending to know nothing about it.

By doing so, Shannon would keep Mr. X to herself without introducing to her.

Thinking of this, Vera had prejudice against Shannon.

Shannon was in a low spirit as she heard it. She didn’t care about the stuffs Mr. X bought for her, but whether he would come or not tonight.

Shannon got rid of Vera, then she went to meet Jade. She was barefoot and stepped on the “exotic” carpet.

“Hey, Shanny. I was going to meet you.” Jade just came over, followed by two staff who were carrying a few big boxes.

“Jade, will Mr. X come tonight?” Shannon concealed her thought of leaving and asked Jade.

Jade smiled banteringly, “It seems that you are conquered by him. You didn’t want to see him before, while now you look forward to his coming every day.”

Shannon lowered her head and pretended to be shy, “Yeah, I don’t know what happens to me. I just miss him as soon as he leaves.”

“I don’t know whether he will come or not, but he bought a lot for you. I can tell that he really likes you. So, even if he is coming tonight, he will come someday. Don’t worry.” Jade and Shannon entered the private chartered room. Then Jade had the boxes uncovered.

The big boxes were filled with clothes for all year round, all of which were famous brands and popular styles, Dreams of Love, Secrets of Paris, Pretty Women, etc. A few medium sized boxes were filled with high-heeled shoes of various styles, and the small boxes contained some exquisite jewelry boxes and skin care products.

“Wow! What a beautiful necklace! At least nine-carat! My god! It is the Crystal Queen brand! I heard that the President of the France personally designed it to his beloved person. Finally, this style came down and became the world’s unique brand! It is probably worth of tens of millions?”

“Oh! My God! This set of skin care product is worth more than one hundred thousand dollars. I had saved money to buy it for several months. However, there was no limited product left in all the cosmetics stores!”

“This one is the latest style this year. I saw it last time I attended a fashion show, but it was so expensive. I couldn’t afford it!”

A few beautiful women gathered around and marveled again and again. They kept touching and looking at these things without stopping. They were extremely eager for these things. However, Shannon looked outside the window with something weighing on her mind.

“Jade, what do you think of the real identity of Mr. X? Who is he?”

“Yeah, Jade, these things are estimated to cost a lot of money. Only the necklace is worth a mint. Was Mr. X born in a royal family of a certain country?”

Several women kept guessing all at once.

Jade said seriously, “Stop! It is a big taboo to guess the identity of the guest. Don’t talk nonsense here! Mind your own business!”

Then they stopped. When they left, they wanted to take a few clothes or jewelry away, but they were snubbed by Jade.

“Mr. X said these were all for Shannon. He will come and personally check these things. Anyone who take it away will have to pay for it.” After Jade’s words faded, these women enviously looked at Shannon and left sadly.

In the private chartered room, there were only Jade and Shannon.

Jade smiled and held Shannon’s hand, “Shanny, you are really amazing. You can make the guest stay here for so long. To be honest, since I started to do this, I have never seen a non-such girl like you. Actually, why do you always want to leave? If you rely on Mr. X, you can live a whole life without worrying about food and clothing.”

Shannon withdrew her hand and looked at Jade, “Jade, what do you want to say?”

She knew that this old woman had an axe to grind once again.

Jade took the Crystal Queen necklace and wore it on Shannon’s neck, “You are a clever girl. I will go straight to the point. You can try your best to make Mr. X stay here for a long time, then get his trust...”

She whispered in Shannon’s ear. Her voice was getting smaller and smaller.

Shannon’s face turned pale immediately at the words. She became serious and slowly shook her head, “Jade, this is illegal.”

“Don’t worry! I’ll bear it. As long as he buys our goods, we will get a lot of money.” Jade smirked, “Anyone who once use our drugs will be addicted to it. Mood for Love will be the place that he indulged at that time...”

Shannon nodded, “Well, I will try.”

Jade told her to find ways to make Mr. X use some illegal drugs. Once he took it, he would be addicted to it. Naturally, he would pay money for it no matter how high the price would be. The more he bought Snow, the more Mood for Love could earn.

Shannon was sure that Mood for Love was a place with hidden dark trades. It not only engaged in prostitution, but also performed other hidden transactions.

Considering of this, Shannon earnestly wished to leave this place right away.

When Jade left, she took a few clothes and some jewelry away, and secretly urged Shannon again and again not to tell Mr. X about it.

Shannon did not care about those things, so she readily kept it secret for her.

In the evening, Mr. X did not come. Shannon had nothing to do, so she stayed at the room, watching TV.

She sat on the sofa sadly and lonely, held the remote control and kept switching channels. During that time, she wanted to call her mother and asked about her physical condition. However, after a while, she dropped the idea.

One the one hand, she would be discovered by Jade. On the other hand, her mother might not want to talk with her at all.

“Next, let’s welcome the world famous “King of Music”, Mr. Ethan!”

The host’s high voice was full of excitement, which interrupted Shannon’s thoughts. Shannon stopped switching the channels. She held her breath and stared at the TV screen.

“Ah! Ethan! I love you!!”

“Love you forever. Love you forever!!”

“Ethan! Ethan!!”

Off the stage, the screams were deafening. Their voice almost overshadowed that of the host.

The dynamic rhythmical music rang. Ethan in a suit walked onto the splendid stage elegantly.

Like a dazzling pearl, he illuminated the whole world.

He smiled and waved at the audience. Even his random move was a magical power that could make people extremely excited.

The crowed screamed again, and the host was frightened to retreat.

Ethan was accustomed to such occasions. He stood there calmly with one hand behind him and the other hand holding a microphone, “I am very happy to meet you here. Tonigh TI want to say something about the charity gala ‘Love for All’...”

The audience shouted crazily to greet him after he paused. The word was not enough to suppress their passions. Only when he began to say something did they become silent.

“The concert fare is determined neither by me nor by the organizer this time. It’s up to you, my dear fans, you can determine the fare as you think it is reasonable. I will set the fare according to the price which got most of the votes...”

In this way, those fans would not have to painstakingly pay for expensive fares.

Shannon looked at Ethan on the TV screen. She was full of excitement.

She listened to Ethan’s words carefully. Ethan was going to hold the charity concert in Fairburg, and he chose a venue in the city center, which could accommodate nearly 200,000 people.

The venue was still under planning and would be completed soon.

Shannon stared at the TV in a daze. Seeing Ethan, she couldn’t help thinking of Wesley and Nancy. However, the only thing she could do was to miss them because she would never see them again.

Shannon turned off the TV and slowly got up.

Looking down at her chest, she was a little sad.

She hadn’t had breast milk for a long time. Wesley and Nancy were about one year old and it was estimated that they had been weaned already.

Shannon forced herself not to think about it continuously. She took pens and papers and started to learn fashion design. She needed to buy a ruler to outline pictures on the drawings. Of course, Jade would not allow her to go out, so she called a waiter to help her with it.

When Shannon went downstairs to take the ruler, she saw Jade and a man went into the office.

“Fairburg covers a vast territory. He could choose any site as he wishes. Why choose here to broaden the venue?”

“There is no other way. He offers to buy it and we can make a profit from it. Why don’t do that?”

“But Rex, where do we settle these girls? If Mood for Love was acquired, are we all laid off?” Jade and the man’s voice came out of the unclosed door.

Shannon was a little curious about it and she wondered if the boss of Mood for Love would be changed.

Shannon did not dare to stand outside the office for too long, so she returned to her private chartered room with the ruler.

Soon, the news began to spread inside the nightclub.

The place was about to be acquired, and the acquirer was Ethan!

This sounded incredible! However, it was also reported on TV that Ethan was going to shoot an advertising video for the charity concert. He thought that this venue was very suitable, so he bought it.

It was said that Ethan spent hundreds of millions to buy Mood for Love, but no one knew the real price.

Mood for Love was closed. The guests who came here were rejected and the public relations team of Ethan began to appear in Mood for Love, preparing for internal rectification.

Jade was sent to a dormitory in the back of Mood for Love with a bunch of girls. She didn’t want to lose her business, so she pleaded with the staff of the public relations team. Her subordinates who couldn’t bear loneliness and had occupational “diseases” began to hook up with the public relations staff.

Jade was smoking on the bed.

A few girls stood next to her, including Shannon.

“It’s settled! Once you’ve done your job, you can pretend to call the police and tell them that the staff of Ethan’s public relations team intended to forcibly invade you. Then, I will testify for you.”

“But Jade, in that case, would things get worse?” A girl was a little scared.

Another girl was not willing to do that, “Jade, we’d better not do it. We sleep with them for one night and asked them to pay for it. That would be all...”

“Yeah, Jade, we can’t afford to offend someone like Ethan...”

Shannon silently waited for Jade’s answer.

She put her hand in the pocket and quietly turned on the recording button of the phone.
