Chapter 9 I Don’t Mind Giving You A Tip of One Million
The lights were still, and Anna’s eyes locked in the direction where the wine bottle landed, and her heart trembled.
It turned out that Pier dropped the bottle!
Pier had been cold to her since he picked her up from prison, and he lost his temper at this moment. So, was he thinking of her as his sister? Or…
“She is lowly, but now her surname is Perkins!”
Pier’s words confirmed Anna’s alternative guess. He was doing it for the face of the Perkins family, “You can insult her, but it’s not happening when she’s still a member of the Perkins family.”
He scanned the people sitting around with sharp eyes. After hearing what he said, those people put away their phones unhappily, not daring to say anything.
No one had ever seen Pier lose such a big temper. He had always been easy–going and polite. Everyone in the circle knew his resentment towards Anna. On the day Lola’s body was found, he had threatened to kill Anna. But now, he had completely changed his attitude.
They all looked at Anna who was still sitting on the ground in shock.
To be honest, Anna was also very surprised. She felt warm in

her heart, but she smiled sadly after she heard what Pier said
next.
“Raul, as long as you marry her, you can play with her any way you want,” Pier’s expression was devoid of nostalgia and regret, as if Anna was an old toy he was eager to dispose of.
Well, he reached out to help simply because he was afraid that she would be insulted as a member of the Perkins family.
Raul had never seen Pier so merciless. When Piers told him about Anna’s going on a blind date with him, there was sympathy hidden in Pier’s expression, and he had asked Raul to treat this woman who was no longer his sister well. Having been in the business circle for so many years, Raul certainly knew what Pier meant by “treating her well“.
He forced her to drink wine to insult and provoke her. He was indeed ‘treating her well. But it was only at the second step that Pier couldn’t sit still, which confused Raul. However, the Rubin family was heavily in debt, and the favors and debts owed to the Perkins family made him have to bow his head.
“Okay! Since Pier has asked, why don’t you let her go? Don’t go too far.” Raul signaled others.
But there was suddenly a faint voice from the corner, gloomy, dark, and without any warmth, “Does a person with a ruined reputation still need to care about this?”
Anna’s heart trembled, and she had an ominous premonition.
The man in the corner stood up and stood ten feet away from Anna with his hands in his pockets, squinting at the blood- stained girl under the spotlight. His tone was indifferent as if he was asking the stall owner to deal with a dying fish.

It was Carlos. He shook his wine glass, looked in Anna’s direction through the glass, and smiled slightly, “If Ms. Perkins is willing to dance, then the audience would love to appreciate it.”
Pier knew Carlos hated Anna, and the friendship between the two made him choose not to openly confront him. He calmed down and sat on the sofa without saying a word. After Pier’s outburst just now, Raul had become much less interested. But after Carlos spoke, he got excited again, and started to stimulate the atmosphere in the private room again, and others also became restless.
Anna saw that the situation was irreversible, and no these spectators could defy their friends and stand by her. She already had the answer in her heart. If she didn’t continue dancing, it would come to no good end, and it might push Pier, who had finally regained his conscience, into a predicament and make him hate herself even more.
What about Carlos? The hatred in his eyes had never lessened, and it was impossible to eliminate it. Instead, he would jump out every moment when she needed to be saved, pushing her down the cliff of eternal doom. Carlos had never been the right one for her!
Fortunately, she was no longer bitter about the things he did to her. Now all she was thinking about was Raul’s words “I will marry you in a month“, which became her only motivation to move on against all odds.
The lights turned off. Carlos stood in the shadows, and his eyes were frighteningly cold. During the past three years, this woman had learned to be submissive and endure humiliation. Would she readily accept it without fear if he crushed her in

the next second? He looked at Anna, feeling so annoyed that he wanted to drop another bottle like Pier.
Unexpectedly, Carlos said again, “If you dance well, I don’t mind giving you a tip of one million.”
Hearing Carlos’s offer, the others joined in one after another. To them, Anna was just a stray dog who begged for mercy and could be slaughtered at the same time. No one would care about her, let alone rescue her. Ridiculing her was undoubtedly just a common pleasure, better than nothing.
Anna pressed her palm, hoping that it would stop bleeding. Then she stood up slowly and returned to the side of the pillar.
They were still bidding.
“One hundred thousand!”
“Sixty thousand…”
But Anna rejected their tips, saying bluntly, “I don’t need that money. Mr. Scott, thanks for your kindness. Since my
boyfriend lost the bet, I’m naturally willing to do it as his girlfriend.”
She wiped her palm on her coat, and then expertly grabbed the pole.
Everyone booed.
Carlos narrowed his eyes. She seemed to have changed, and her humbleness concealed her stubbornness, like a needle hidden in a velvet cushion, puncturing his soft spot
unexpectedly, making him feel very uncomfortable.

Changing his standing posture, he folded his arms with sharp eyes and gritted his teeth. He looked gloomy and
intimidating.
He looked in Anna’s direction again, waiting for… the striptease she did for her current boyfriend.
Someone restarted the music, and the rhythms immediately spread in the private room.
Anna slowly became more accustomed, dancing skillfully. Just when she was about to take off her coat, she subconsciously glanced at the crack of the door and saw a corner of the corridor outside the door.
Suddenly, she stopped what she was doing and stared in the direction of the door in a daze.
