When the madam looks at Claire, Leo leaves.

The madam sits next to Claire. She looks at Claire at close range and smiles, "you are a beauty indeed."

Claire immediately says nervously, "what did Leo say to you?"

The madam laughs, "it seems that you don't know you are sold here by your master to be a princess. Ha ha!"

Claire's whole body tenses suddenly, and she says in horror, "what? A princess?"

The madam squints and nods.

Claire suddenly feels herself waking up and rushes out the door.

Last time Leo sold her to an auction and she was miserable. This time he even lets her be a princess. Claire would like to rush back and kill Leo now.

But she has no chance.

Several tall men in black stop her. They push her down on the sofa under the direction of the madam.

Claire huddles tightly on the sofa. She puts her arms around her chest to protect herself and looks at the people in black carefully.

The madam laughs, "Miss Bennett, you can't leave. I can't bear the consequences."

Claire says angrily, "you're breaking the law. I'll call the police."

The madam laughs, "you call the police? Miss Bennett, don't tell jokes. This is not a clean place."

Claire breathes quickly. Her body is shivering and she is at a loss.

The madam says with a meaningful smile. "Here, you can indulge a little bit. Isn't it too hard to hide all the time?"

Claire is angry and swears, "shut up, you old witch! Do you think everyone is as shameless as you?"

The madam sees Claire resist and scold her so she hits Claire's delicate face.

Claire only feels pain in her face so she turns sideways.

The madam says viciously, "bitch! No one dares to fight me here. Who gave you the courage to do so? Who do you think you are?"

Then the madam glances at the bodyguards in black.

The bodyguards pull Claire's hand as hard as they can to make her face the madam.

The madam laughs with pride. She lights a cigarette and begins to smoke. Then she sprays the smoke on Claire's face.

Claire coughs violently. As soon as she moves, the big hand holding her hair is even harder. She weeps with pain.

The madam touches Claire's smooth and white cheek. She gently puts her fingers around her hair and plays with it in her hand.

She approaches Claire's face, pretending to sympathize with Claire and sighing, "Miss, this is not a good place. It doesn't work out here."

Claire grits her teeth. Her body trembles slightly. Her stubbornness makes the madam very unhappy. "What a pretty girl. If you are obedient, you can suffer less. Do you think so?"

Claire sneers, "bitch!"

The madam doesn't get angry this time but laughs. She nods. "Yes, women are lewd here. But do you think you are pure? Master Howard left you here to give you a chance. What you should do is..."

Before the madam has finished, Claire raises her voice and says, "stop dreaming, old witch!"

Claire's voice is loud but hoarse. Her voice goes through the music of the nightclub to the ears of the people around her, including the madam.

The madam is so angry that her facial features twist together. She grabs a red wine glass and pours the whole glass of red wine on Claire's face.

"Let me tell you, little slut. You can offend anyone here except me. The people who offend me are going to be miserable." Then she says to the black bodyguard next to her, "lock Miss Bennett in the back room so she can figure it out."

So Claire is dragged by several men into a small room behind the bar.

It's dark in that small room. There is no light or chair. There is nothing there. When Claire is thrown in, she can't hear the loud music outside.

The small black house is so small that Claire walks a few steps and meets a cold wall. She has to sit down and hold her body with her hands. She keeps shaking, not knowing whether it is because fear or cold.

"Leo, you bastard, pervert, beast. One day, I will give you back the humiliation!" Claire curses Leo. She clenches her fist and her teeth and shivers with rage.

Claire suddenly thinks of Bryce.

If only he were here. It's just that she's daydreaming.

Claire falls asleep in a daze and is suddenly awakened by the chill. She is shivering with cold.

She can't stay here all the time. Claire feels that if she resists, her body will not be able to stand the torture.

Thinking about it, Claire has a plan in mind. She immediately gropes to the door of the small black house and smashes the wooden door with her fist. "Is there anyone? Open the door! Let me out!"

Suddenly a small hole appears in the door, and there are mocking eyes there.

"What are you shouting? You're looking for death." The man answers her in a rough voice, and the little hole is shut in a flash.

Claire is surprised and tries to hit the door again. "I want to go out."

"Miss Bennett, are you sure you want to go out?" The small hole is opened again, and the voice of the man comes in from outside. "You know what it means to go out."

"I'm going out. Call her over." Claire says, pounding the door.

The man closes the hole and sneers, "Miss Bennett, wait a minute."

After a while, Claire sees the madam again. This time, the door is opened decisively.

The strange smell and loud music in the nightclub rush in. Claire's heart is beating wildly when she thinks about what she will do next.

She pats herself on the chest and looks up. She sees the madam leaning against the door. Her eyebrows are weird. "Oh, Miss Bennett, what can I do for you?"

Claire resists the urge to curse her and says calmly, "I've got it. I can do what you say."
