Chapter 529

“Huh?” Renee watched as the gang left the pub with a confused expression on her face.

She wondered, ‘What just happened?! Was that lady toying with me? How could she just leave like that?!’

Everyone in the pub was instantly relieved, and they quickly surrounded Renee. They stared at her in adoration as if she was their idol, nearly falling to their knees to express their gratitude towards her.

“Miss Everheart, you truly are a heroine! Your fighting skills are even better than that viral video from a while ago! You’re our goddess!”

“Miss Everheart, please take care of our pub from now on! You know how some women are wild and unreasonable when it comes to the service industry! The escorts in my pub have been harassed multiple times up till now!” The pub owner sobbed uncontrollably.

“Especially our Isaac, his charm brought a lot of business ever since his debut, but it also attracted a lot of unwanted attention! That woman from earlier was quite powerful too! If you hadn’t come here to save him, he probably would’ve…”

Renee didn’t reply, and instead turned to look at the escort behind her, asking softly, ‘ How are you feeling? Can you stand?”

Isaac stumbled as he stood up straight, coughing slightly with his face turning pale. His voice sounded weak as he responded, “Mhm. I’m just worried about that customer seeking revenge after today, I did offend her after all. I’m scared that she might capture me in the future! Oh… what do I do?’

The man swayed on his feet, looking as if he was going to faint.

“Careful!” Renee reacted quickly and caught the man in her arms. Isaac immediately went limp, placing his arms over Renee’s shoulder as he fell into her embrace.

Seeing this, a few escorts looked rather envious as they gossiped with one another. “Dang, look at Isaac’s irresistible charm. He’s such a great flirt!”

“I don’t blame him, to be honest. I’d run into the arms of a beautiful and strong sugar mommy too!”

The pub owner quickly said, ’Don’t you worry, Isaac. With Miss Everheart protecting our pub, no one will ever dare to harass you ever again! You have to repay her kindness however you can, alright?

Don’t let her efforts go to waste!”

“Umm, well…” Renee wanted to say that she merely came to save them on a whim and never intended to provide protection at all, and she didn’t even think of taking responsibility for this escort. She was a busy woman after all, and simply didn’t have the time to do any of that.

However, the pub owner didn’t give her a chance to explain. “Don’t worry, Miss Everheart. We’re not a bunch of freeloaders, we’ll be sure to pay you a protection fee, of course! Besides that, you can choose any escort you’d like to take home, including our star escort, Isaac…”

Renee observed each and every one of the beautiful men, all of which possessed charisma and good looks. It was hard for her to not feel tempted.

Isaac likely felt her eyes wandering, which made him frown coldly, coughing lightly. “Ah, it hurts!’

Renee lowered her head to look at the man’s blood-drenched shirt, and her expression softened. She then furrowed her eyebrows slightly. “Someone get him to a hospital now, his wound might be infected!’

The pub owner nodded profusely. “That’s right, Isaac’s wounds seem pretty serious. Can someone take him to the hospital?”

“No!” Isaac refused, looking at Renee pleadingly instead, hugging her even tighter than before. “I’m scared… You’re the only one who can protect me now.”

“Ah…” Renee felt rather awkward, thinking. ‘So, now he’s my responsibility?!’

‘Yeah, that’s true, Isaac will definitely be targeted for the next few days! Please help him till the end, and take care of him for a few days…”

The pub owner continued persuasively, “Isaac is a good kid, and he won’t give you any trouble. He’ll even do your chores, and be the apple of your eye! Trust me, you won’t regret taking him in!”

“Taking him in?” The woman seemed reluctant, but did express some interest in trying. “That doesn’t sound appropriate…”

Her rationality was telling her that she had to reject the offer, but she couldn’t bring herself to push away this gorgeous yet pitiful beauty
