“I’m not going!” Wendy eximed. “You’remitting a crime right in front of me! I’m calling the police to arrest you!”


    “Call the police?” Teresa Fay approached her, pping Wendy and shouting, “You really think the police can intimidate me? I’ve dealt with too many fools like you! I have countless ways to make your life miserable!”<fn0c5b> Official source is F?nd-Novel</fn0c5b>


    “You’re such a bully. This is a society governed byw! How can you act so recklessly?” Wendy protested.


    Teresa Fay sneered, “What does bullying even matter to me? My mother thrives on it! Let me remind you, Mr. Lloyd is a well-known figure on Aurous Hill Road. If you dare to cross me, not only will you regret it, but your family will also suffer the consequences!”


    “Wendy, don’t say I didn’t warn you. Just the contract you signed that’s in my possession can be sold to a debt collection agency for anywhere between one hundred to two hundred thousand. Once that happens, agents will hound you daily, blocking your path and demanding repayment. If you refuse to pay, they’ll invade your space, vandalize your home, and follow you to your workce, making your life unbearable!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Teresa Fay’s etiquettepany was notorious in Aurous Hill. They lured young women into signing deceptive sales agreements, only to trap them in a cycle of exploitation. Those with average looks often became overworked assistants, receiving minimal pay while being forced into exhausting shifts. The more attractive women were coerced into working in high-end clubs or worse, entering a darker lifestyle.


    Teresa recognized Wendy’s beauty and saw her potential as a lucrative asset. By controlling her and sending her to upscale venues, Wendy could easily generate profits of fifty to sixty thousand a month—an undeniable cash cow.


    Concerned that Wendy might resist, Teresa shouted to her associates, “Hurry, get her in the car!” Several burly men swiftly grabbed Wendy and began dragging her toward a vehicle.


    Terrified, Wendy cried out, “Help! I’m being kidnapped!”


    Passersby turned to look, prompting Teresa to quickly rify, “Don’t misunderstand! We’re from Aurous Hill Etiquette Company, a legitimate business!”


    “This girl is one of our employees. A while ago, her family experienced a tragic ident, and her parents were in a car crash. Our boss generously lent her 500,000 to cover medical expenses, but instead, she squandered it on gambling!”


    “Now, she’s abandoned her parents in the hospital. We’re taking her to see them onest time, hoping to awaken her sense of responsibility!”


    Conflicted, the crowd didn’t know whom to believe.


    At that moment, Teresa leaned in and instructed her aplices, “Get her in the car!” They pushed Wendy toward the vehicle, ready to force her inside.


    Wendy’s heart raced with despair. She realized that if she got into that car, it would be nearly impossible to escape their grip. Just as panic set in, she suddenly heard a familiar voice cutting through the chaos: “Let her go!”
