I held the door shut and let them keep pounding on it from inside.

The sound of splashing water, terrified voices, and some suggestive noises filled the room.

The person knocking gradually grew weaker.

I tossed away my cigarette butt and opened the door.

Shannon crashed into my arms. Her eyes welled up with tears as she sobbed and pleaded, “Sir, some guests are pinning my sister down on the pool terrace! Please, you have to save her!”

I casually wrapped my arm around Shannon, and my fingers slid across her chest.

Her whole body trembled. For a moment, she forgot what she was going to say.

However, I did not let my hand move any lower. Instead, I took out a green gemstone necklace and put it on her.

Then, I said gently, “Don’t be scared. This necklace looks great on you.”

She was at a loss as she stared at the expensive necklace.

I gently adjusted the necklace so its pinhole camera could see underneath her clothes.

Then, I pulled her along and rushed over to Jadine, who was pinned down on the terrace by several people. Her clothes were torn to pieces, and her pigtails were being yanked.

A fat man was about to force himself on her.

The scene stunned me for a moment, but I quickly snapped back to my senses.

I grabbed a vase and smashed it over the fat man’s head. Then, I went berserk and beat the other two until they could not get up.

After that, I called the police. “Hello, police? I’d like to report an assault. Three men are attacking a girl!”

After saying that, I wrapped the weeping Jadine with a towel and carried her back to my room.

Her voice was choked with emotion. “Sir, thank you. Thank you so much.”

After I had beaten the three men to the floor, Shannon also looked at me with admiration and gratitude as she stuck close to my side.

They treated me like their savior.

Little did they know that I only stepped in to test these two foolish women before deciding how to use them.

After I got them settled in the room, I looked at my empty call log and smiled.

I certainly had not called the police.

Guests came looking for a fling, and I supplied the women. It was just simple supply and demand.

These two prime catches were not something a twenty-thousand-dollar watch could buy.

I smoked a cigarette outside, then pushed the door open.

The two sisters were still jumpy, but they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw it was me.

I slumped down on the floor and asked, “Why did you catch that watch? The second you caught it, that watch was yours, and you belonged to them.

“Now I’ve upset that fatso, and I’m afraid that this guesthouse will be trashed. It’s not making money, and I don’t have the cash to keep renovating it.”

Jadine collapsed onto the floor. She grabbed my hand, and her face was full of guilt. “Sir, I didn’t know. I’m sorry. I really wasn’t trying to take that watch!”

Shannon also knelt in front of me. She tilted her head back, and tears streamed down her delicate face.

“Sir, I’m sorry that Jadine didn’t know any better.

“I’ll take responsibility for this. Let’s just call the police, okay? We won’t run. We won’t leave you here alone!”

I looked into their eyes, and for a moment, my mind drifted back several years, to when I had casually sponsored two little girls’ schooling.

Those two pairs of innocent, glistening eyes had not changed at all.

For a brief instant, a thought flickered through my mind—I considered letting them go.

Just then, I felt an electric current run through my wrist. The sharp pain jolted every nerve in my body and snapped me back to reality.

I was a shameless man pretending to be some kind of saint.

So, I raised my head and looked at them with a pale face.

“Have you ever heard of Golden Flowers?”
