"The bar's always been doing well. Why is it closing down all of a sudden?" I asked.

"Who knows? Just come, and you'll find out," Matthew replied.

It wasn't nighttime yet, but the place was already filling out.

Matthew whispered, "I heard that the owner is the mistress of someone from Arnoult Group, the one who came for Charlotte last time.

"I heard he failed to put his hands on her. So, he took his frustration out on the bar owner and is forcing her to shut it down."
