brow furrowing.
“Who are you?”
“I’m Chloe’s friend,” Sophia said coldly.
The agent rolled his eyes. Get lost! This isn’t your scene! What are you doing here?” “Chloe’s drunk. I’m taking her home.”
Sophia reached for Chloe, but the middle–aged man tightened his grip, leering at Sophia.
“Since you’re Chloe’s friend, you’re my friend too. Come, sit down, have a few drinks with. your big brother.”
Sophia ignored him and continued to try to pull Chloe away.
The middle–aged man slammed his hand on the table, his face darkening.
Seeing this, the agent rushed to Sophia’s side.
This guy’s a big shot. Forget Chloe; we can’t afford to offend JoyPlus. I warn you, don’t upset him. If you ruin this, I can’t do anything to you, but Chloe will never get another gig!” The hissed, whispering to Sophia.

Sophia took a deep breath, looking at Chloe, who had clearly had way too much to drink; liquor spilled from the corner of her mouth. Chloe was fighting for her career, sacrificing everything. Sophia wouldn’t let this ruin it all.
Drinks, huh? Fine, I’ll drink,” Sophia said.
The agent quickly poured her a drink and urged her to toast the middle–aged man. Sophia raised her glass, offered a curt nod to the man, and downed it in one gulp.
“Good! That’s the spirit!”
The middle–aged man raised his own glass and emptied it.
“Pour another! Pour another! We’re drinking till we drop tonight!”
As he finished his sentence, a crashing sound erupted from the next room, like a fight. “Damn it! This club is supposed to be members–only! Who the hell let these people in?!” The middle–aged man grumbled.
The agent
said quickly, “Mr. Sterling, please calm down. I’ll go next door and deal with them, get them to leave!”
“Go ahead, and tell them who sent you.”
“Yes, sir.”

Sophia glanced at Chloe. “Look, she’s wasted. She can’t drink anymore. Let my friend take her
home.”
“You need to keep me company for a few more drinks.”
“No problem.”

Sophia quickly called Tree in and had him carry Chloe out.
“What about you?” Tree was worried.
Sophia sent them out, whispering to Tree, “I’ll excuse myself to the restroom and slip out.”
Tree nodded. “We’ll wait outside.”
Sophia considered.“Okay.”
After they left, seeing the agent hadn’t returned, Sophia raised her glass.“This one’s for Sterling. I hope you’ll look out for Chloe.”
Mr. Sterling smiled.“Actually, I do have a project starting soon.”
“Any roles Chloe might be suitable for?”
“Of course. Even if not, I’ll have them add a part.”
“Then I’ll toast to Mr. Sterling…”

“Hey, that’s not how you drink.” Mr. Sterling stood up, approaching Sophia. “Here, big brother poured this one specially for you.” Sophia immediately became wary, reaching for the drink, but Mr. Sterling pulled it away.
“Let big brother feed you.”
Sophia stepped back. “That’s not appropriate.”
“Big brother likes you, happy to give you this face.”
I can’t accept Mr. Sterling’s ‘face‘.”
Mr. Sterling’s eyes darkened. He slammed the glass to the floor.
“Do you know that I can blacklist Chloe with a single word?”

Sophia turned to leave.
“Stop her!” Mr. Sterling growled.
Two young men immediately stood up, closing the door and blocking Sophia’s exit. Sophia bit her lip, turning to Mr. Sterling.“Mr. Sterling, you’re here for business. I doubt you want it to end up at the police station.”
“Heh, threatening me?” Mr. Sterling sneered.“They can all testify that you volunteered to stay in place of Chloe.”
Mr. Sterling swayed towards Sophia, reaching out to pinch her chin, but she dodged him. “Tonight, you’re not escaping. Why don’t you just be good? Make big brother happy, and you can have whatever you want.”
Sophia took a deep breath and reached for her phone to call Tree, but Mr. Sterling snatched it
away.
“Calling for help? Not allowed. Big brother hasn’t had his fun yet.”
Mr. Sterling pressed close to Sophia..
Sophia backed away, but Mr. Sterling pursued her relentlessly. Just as she was about to be cornered, the door was suddenly kicked open..
The agent, bruised and battered, was pushed in by a tall man in a suit and sunglasses. ,“Hey, who the hell…”
Before Mr. Sterling could finish, the man in sunglasses pulled out a fruit knife, walked forward, looked at Mr. Sterling, and stabbed it into a watermelon in the fruit platter on the table. The watermelon burst open, red juice flowing everywhere.
The man in sunglasses, with a menacing expression, scanned the room, then turned and left. Once he was gone, the agent collapsed.
“Mr. Sterling, ow! It hurts! The people in the next room… we can’t mess with them.” The agent said, clutching his face.
Mr. Sterling cleared his throat.“Who were they?”
“Hu Quan from Xicheng. You know him, right?”
Hearing the name, the fat jiggled on Mr. Sterling’s face.
“Him?”
“When I went in, he was on his knees.”
Mr. Sterling gulped.
Let’s… let’s go somewhere else.”
“Yes, yes, let’s go
somewhere else to drink,” the agent said, gathering their company’s artists to flee the scene. Mr. Sterling also hurried to leave, but after a couple of steps, remembered Sophia.. “You… come with us.”
Sophia glared at Mr. Sterling, and as soon as they stepped out, she walked in the opposite direction.
Mr. Sterling immediately pulled her back.“Tonight, you have to give big brother what he wants!” Sophia was pulled back several steps. Nobody in this club would dare to intervene, and her phone was still with Mr. Sterling. Just as she was panicking, she noticed a vase near the next room’s entrance. An idea sparked. With a swift kick, she sent the vase crashing to the floor. With a loud crash, the door of the next room opened.
