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 businesspeople 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.


    Renee was starting to feel quite impatient, urging. “So, how did it go? Can I end his contract or not?


    Just give it to me straight.”


    The pub owner replied, “I just asked our business partners, and they said it’s possible. They even said


    they don’t need you to pay, but you’ll have to follow a few rules.”


    “They don’t need me to pay?” Renee felt quite surprised.


    She thought to herself. ‘I didn’t expect the pub owner to be so virtuous to have let go of such a great


    opportunity to earn!’


    “Tell me about these rules,” Renee asked curiously.


    “Firstly, Isaac is our star escort, as you know. He’s earned our pub a lot of money, and we naturally


    treat him as family. That’s why you have to promise to treat Isaac well after you’ve bought his freedom.


    You mustn’t let him suffer in the slightest.”


    Renee raised a brow. “Of course. I can do that.”


    She was more than capable of handling another man’s living expenses, after all.


    “Secondly, Isaac has… quite a bit of an ego. If you really do wish to provide for him, you still mustn’t


    force him to do anything he doesn’t like…”


    Renee felt speechless. “Don’t worry, I just felt pity toward him. I didn’t want a young talent like him to be


    wasted in a pub, that’s all. I don’t intend on doing anything to him.”


    “Uhm, that’s actually not what we mean…” The pub owner exined. “You see, Isaac has a habit of


    wearing a mask at all times. It is to protect thest bit of dignity he has left. So if he is unwilling to take


    it off, you can’t force him to.’


    “No problem. I like it more when he has his mask on anyway,” Renee replied swiftly. After all, she


    actually preferred Isaac with his mask, as it gave her a sense of familiarity and made her heart flutter.


    “Looks like there’ll be no issues then! Once you’ve signed this contract, Isaac will be yours, and you


    can do whatever you want with him.” The pub owner said swiftly.


    Renee hadn’t expected everything to go so smoothly. She then happily dialed Isaac’s number, still


    holding the contract in hand.


    “Hey, pretty boy, where are you? I prepared a surprise for you.”


    “Oh really? I’m home, but I have to go to work soon.”


    “Hold on. I’lle over right now.”
