Chapter 1903

The second Johnny heard there was money on the table, his whole face lit up. Grinning like an idiot, he scrambled off the floor, totally forgetting about the pain from getting kicked.

A hundred grand might be pocket change to the rich crowd around here, but to people like Johnny, that kind of cash was impossible to ignore.

He all but crawled over to Fiona, practically drooling at the thought of the money.

Leaning against the sofa like he owned the place, Johnny put on his most eager smile. “Boss, whatever you want to know, I can tell you. I know everything, seriously."

"Oh? Everything?" Fiona's lips curled into a cold, sarcastic smile. "Then why don't you tell me what happened to the missing piece of surveillance footage?"

Without missing a beat, Johnny pulled an SD card from his pocket and set it on the coffee table, tapping it with his finger. "Boss, I did delete that section, but I kept a copy—see, it's all here. You can check it yourself. But... can I get my money first?"

Fiona didn't even get a chance to reply before Tyler grabbed the SD card and called for a laptop. He plugged the card in and started clicking through the files. The more he looked, the worse it got a whole stash of hidden camera footage. There were tons of videos, all secretly recording the Golden Glow girls. Some of them were downright gross. Tyler practically rolled his eyes out of his head.

The girls had no clue when they'd even been filmed. Now, seeing all this, they were livid.

They came here to perform, not to be treated like objects. Pouring drinks, playing games, dancing with the guests-that's where it ended. Nothing else was ever on the table.

The bouncers at Golden Glow were some of the toughest in the city, and everyone who came here knew the rules. Anyone who tried to cross the line got tossed out, no matter how important their family was. Even the Stonnell and Woods families had to play by the rules-if they didn't, they left with their heads hanging.

Since then, nobody dared to break the code.

"You disgusting creep! You really dared to film us? I ought to kick you into next week!"

"Pervert! How could you even think to pull something this gross?"

"Manager, you have to stand up us! We're decent girls from

The manager knew Fiona despised this kind of thing. She'd started Golden Glow to give these girls a safe

respectable place to work-far away from trouble like this.

"Fiona, I found it," Tyler called out, pointing at the laptop screen.

The footage left no room for doubt. It showed Carson leading Anna away, and even pointed at the- security camera while Johnny mouthed a promise that he'@take care of it.

There was no sound, but if you watched closely, it was easy to read Johnny's lips.

"What's Golden Glow's number one rule?" Tyler pushed the laptop toward the manager.

The manager looked like someone had pulled the ground out from under him. His strength vanished.

The rules were crystal clear, and yet someone had still dared to break them.

The footage even showed Johnny pocketing a handful of crisp bills-Carson's bribe.

Just a few bills, and he'd betrayed a girl's whole future. Johnny really was something else.
