waking

Chapter 63 

After leaving Fabulous Dazzle, Ellen escorted Naomi to the Golden Club, a place second only to the Lunar Ray Club in prestige, but with far less privacy. Not bound by membership, anyone with money could walk through its doors, which meant it was a melting pot of various people and where anything could happen. 

Ellen stayed protective of Naomi as they navigated the crowds until she handed her over to Mr. Fischer. She then silently stepped aside. 

Dressed in a sleek black suit, Shawn took Naomi’s hand and led her to the third floor, heading to a room that boasted the best view of the entire 

club. 

“Let’s go watch the show, he said. 

“Yes. Mr. Fischer, Naomi replied, 

With her hand in Shawn’s and the other clutching the shawl around her shoulders, Naomi followed. The women they passed were dressed to the nines in cool, showy attire. The inside temperature was high, reminding Naomi of how the club was a hub for vitality. 

They reached the prime private room on the third floor. A waiter came by and served a cup of hot milk for Naomi and red wine for Shawn. 

Shawn didn’t let her drink alcohol, and Naomi was happy to stick to milk. She could occasionally sip wine, but alcohol numbed the senses. She had to stay sharp, not allowing for any mistakes. 

Soon, on the second–floor glass terrace, two scantily clad women were pushed into view. They screamed, desperately trying to flee, but iron chains bound their ankles, making escape impossible. 

Naomi sipped her milk slowly, her gaze selling on the faces of the two women, and her pupils contracted slightly. It was Rosalind and Victoria wearing thin masks, Not long after Naomi had visited the Edwards manor, Javier had already delivered these two to the Golden Club. She was quite surprised 

Shawn had said he wanted to take her to see a show, and it seemed he’d been aware of Javier’s plans all along. The business cards she’d handed over couldn’t possibly hold more value than what unfolded at the Golden Club. 

Loud music and cheers reverberated outside, while their private room played cheerful light music. Shawn watched Naomi casually, curious about how ruthless she could be toward the Edwards family. 

Behind the thin masks, Rosalind and Victoria could easily be recognized by anyone familiar with them. 

Naomi’s face was expressionless as she sipped her milk, observing the men around them who were eagerly vying for attention, almost like they were playing with dogs. A hint of satisfaction fleetingly crossed the depths of her eyes 

But it wasn’t enough. The suffering Rosalind and Victoria were enduring was nothing compared to what Naomi had gone through in a dark room in her past life 

Shawn was toying with the stem of his wine glass. “Do you know how much Javier sold them for?” he asked casually. 

Naomi shook her head. “No” 

Shawn’s lips curled slightly. “Rosalind for 300 thousand dollars and Victoria for 300 thousand dollars,” 

“So lule?” Naomi was genuinely surprised. “The starting bids at Golden Club aren’t that impressive, huh!” 

Shawn gave a humorless smile. “For such trash, it’s already a lot.” 

Hearing this. Naomi’s lips turned up in a satisfied grin. “You’re right, Mr. Fischer. Trash should come at trash prices; that much money is indeed 

Down below on the second floor, the cheers surged as the masks on Rosalind’s and Victoria’s masks were violently ripped away. Their screams and pleas mingled with tears of absolute terror. 

Naomi watched the scene below and asked slowly, “Mr. Fischer, do you think I’m heartless and cruel! 

I spent ten years in the Edwards family from the age of ten, calling Rosalind sister and Victoria “nom, and now here I am, watching them be humiluted, even having helped it along behind the scenes. 

“Mr. Fischer, do you find someone like me frightening?” she asked. 

shawn fixated his gaze directly on her for a long time before he eventually spoke in a seemingly indifferent tone, “One who doesn’t know suffering tumsell shouldn’t advise other to be kind. 

“Do you think I’m some sort of mint?”

Naomi was taken aback, unable to move her gaze from his face. After a moment, she abruptly stood up, walked over to Shawn, lified her skirt slightly, and sat down on his lap. 

Embracing Shawn’s handsome face, she kissed him without a moment’s hesitation. 

What he said echoed in her mind. “One who doesn’t know suffering himself shouldn’t advise others to be kind.” 

Her greatest fear was that Shawn would see through her, and view her as a malicious person who used him and played tricks right under his nose. 

But his words shanered all of her defenses. 

Her eyes brimmed with tears, and she couldn’t control them as they rolled down her cheeks 

Shawn was frozen for a split second by her sudden passion, but in merely a second, he pulled her closer and returned her kiss fiercely. 

The glass of this room was special, so he wasn’t worried about anyone daring to peek from the outside. 

After a fiery kiss, Naomi was left breathless. Chuching Shawn’s neck, she spoke in a hoarse voice. “Thank you.” 

Shawn also seemed a little short of breath. He chuckled softly. “The best part is yet to come. Wanna see it?” 

Naomi nodded, “Yeah.” 

In Shawn’s company, she had no wish to play the demure damsel. She is a woman reborn and returned to exact revenge, with a strong and aggressive disposition. 

“Watch the second floor.” Shawn said. 

By now, the crowd on the second floor had thinned. Freddy, dressed in a white suit, took to the glass stage, followed by another man, Victoria’s father. 

This is a face–off,” Shawn explained dis passionately. The winner gets to take home one of the women. People are betting on it, winning or losing ratio. Whoever loses won’t just be unable to take the woman but will also get a beading from the betters.” 

Naomi clicked her tongue and said, “Who came up with this idea?” 

Shawn idly twirled her long hair, saying carelessly, “Javier, 

He also brought Freddy and Victoria’s father here.” 

“Is Javier here too? Naomi asked. 

“course” 

Now, Naomi was confused about what Javier was really up to. 

“I let Chandler drop him some info, and he came begging to me. 

Shawn’s lips curved in an amused yet cold smirk. “Ignorant and foolish.” 

Naomi turned to look at him, “So, Mr. Fischer, are you doing this for ine?“ 

“What do you think?” 

Naomi pursed her lips, and instead of a verbal reply, she kissed him even more passionately than before. 

As their kiss ended, the showdown on the second floor did 100. Freddy, young and ruthless, skilled and merciless, had Victoria’s father knocked 

onto the floor. 

He Besed his wrist, stepping forward to pull Rosalind down from the stage, 

Victoria, left on the stage, screamed, but her cries were soon drowned out by the deafening music. 

“What will happen to Victoria?” Naomi asked curiously. 

“That’s something we have to ask Javier about Shawn replied as he stood up, taking her hand. “Let’s go to th 

the dinner party 

p just to 

“Sure” Naomi was dressed for the event, not believing for a second that Shawn had gone through the trouble of getting her all dolled up j show her an intruse scene 

Leaving the Golden Club, their Rolls Royce glided toward the southern part of Atopan.
