Chapter: 940
�He does. It�s quite a tiring job!� A few other women also joined the conversation.
�I heard Isaac comes from a well-off family. He used to be a top student, but his parents died young, and he ended up dancing out here. He even signed a contract to sell himself to the bar so that he could financially support his younger sister in her studies. He can�t leave even if he wants to�
�Ahh. I can only blame myself for meeting someone I want to protect forever at a time when I can�t afford to do it!�
�Isaac is too expensive. I can�t afford to look after him. I can only watch him dance and buy a few more drinks to support him. Aaahhh!�
Renee couldn�t help but feel a sense of compassion after hearing all this. �I didn�t expect Isaac to have such a sorrowful background despite being such a cheerful person�� Renee made a brave decision on the spot. She passed through the crowd and approached the bartender at the bar.
�Where�s your boss? I�d like to discuss business with him.� The bartender looked Renee up and down.
�You look like a rich woman. Our boss likes people like you the most. I�ll bring you to him right away.� Renee followed the bartender backstage. The owner of the bar and a few other men were smoking on a couch.
�Hey, you�re here! Come here. Have a seat!�
The owner immediately stood up and welcomed Renee when he saw her. Mr. Hunt had specifically instructed him to take good care of this esteemed guest. They were always prepared to welcome Renee, and they had to immediately inform Stefan should anything happen.
Renee had a strong presence. She sat down on the couch and cut to the chase. �I heard Isaac sold himself to you. He can�t stop dancing even if he wants to. I feel sorry for him. He�s still so young, but he�s already stuck here. I can�t bear to watch someone with so much potential wasting his life away� which is why� I want to find out how much it costs to free him.�
�Name your price!�
"Well"
The pub owner likely didn�t expect Renee to be here to redeem the man�s freedom and didn�t quite know what to do at that moment.
�Why are you hesitating? You�re asking them to dance and entertain the customers to earn money, right? So what�s the difference if I make a full payment?� Renee asked.
She knew money couldn�t solve everything, but it did, at least, have the ability to solve most. At the very least, for greedy business people like these, money was their kryptonite.
�You are absolutely right, Miss Everheart. But we�d still have to think about this matter thoroughly. Why don�t you wait for a bit while I discuss this with my business partners? We�ll give you an answer shortly,� the pub owner said and left the room.
Although it was her excuse to leave, she actually was reporting back to Stefan.
�Buy my freedom?� Stefan seemed intrigued upon hearing this.
After a short pause, he ordered the pub owner, �Tell her it�s possible, but there would be terms�."
�I understand! Don�t worry, Mr. Hunt, we will definitely do as you say.� The pub owner quickly returned to the waiting room after receiving orders. JrNovels.com
