Aurelia’s eyes widened as she paled as if she saw a ghost. She quickly adjusted her emotions and forced a smile.

After all, this was how she managed all these years.

“Hi, James! You’re free today?”

James kept his eyes on the metal box that she did not get to hide in time. It seemed that the girl had been making good money recently!

James was one of the gang members on the street. He was not capable and was ugly, so he was often bullied by the other thugs when he first joined the gang.

His psychological state gradually became twisted in such an environment.

After years of hard work, when he finally became a thug with a slightly higher status, he began to bully the weak around him as revenge, often beating people up to the point of bleeding when he collected protection fees.

Aurelia had seen it plenty of times. The lady next door who died from losing too much blood had died because she did not hand in the fee in time. His underling had stabbed her three times.

This was why she never dared to pay the protection fee late. To be safe, she even paid more than others.

She was a rare obedient one on the street to James. It was unexpected that she looked docile and obedient, but she kept a metal box in secret.

James stepped forward, the light showing his face full of freckles. He cackled as he made his way to Aurelia and mocked, “I heard you made good money recently? You haven’t been back for days. Been company to some rich wife?”

“No!” Aurelia replied in passing, “I just found a nanny job. It pays by the day. Hah, they still owe me money now! I have to be off to ask it from them now!”

“Come back!”

James gave an order, and a few more thugs appeared at the door. All of them held steel batons in their hands as they smirked at Aurelia.

Aurelia panicked and subconsciously balled up her hands. She knew too well what filthy thoughts these men had.

Each time James looked at her, his gaze was like he was undressing her. All these years, however, he had only coveted her without actually laying a finger on her.
