Michael’s gaze fell on Uriah holding Alice’s wrist. “Mr. Savage, are you planning to take my woman? That’s against the rules, isn’t
it?
Uriah said firmly, “I’m not taking anyone from you. Ms. Baker is your secretary, and she has the right to decide who she wants to
leave with p>
Uriah’s gaze shifted to Alice. “There are fireworks tonight, and I have the best spot. Shall we go now p>
He slightly tightened his grip, and Alice looked at him with teary eyes, grateful.
She knew he was helping her.
With Uriah speaking up, if she left with him, she would be safe tonight.
Alice instinctively wanted to follow Uriah, but the pressure on her waist increased.
“Alice, don’t you know what you should be doing?” Michael said through gritted teeth.
Alice’s steps halted, and she trembled all over.
She was afraid of him, very afraid.
Michael leaned close to her ear. “You do remember the legal department, right p>
Alice closed her eyes. He always used this trick to threaten her, cliché but effective.
Although her contract had expired, she hadn’t completed the resignation procedures, so she had to listen to him. Otherwise, if she
was really sued, her life would be ruined. She didn’t have the time to fight a lawsuit.
Moreover, Michael would definitely blacklist her, making it impossible for her to find a job.
She needed money to take care of her mother.
Michael forcefully pulled Uriah’s hand away and held Alice tightly in his arms.
Alice didn’t struggle anymore. She knew very well that the consequences of leaving now would be severe.
The commotion drew the attention of the crowd.
“Michael, what’s going on?” Dax walked down from the second floor, looking curiously at the scene.
Uriah respectfully nodded at Dax and then looked behind him. “Elijah p>

Dax chuckled, “Is this your brother who just returned from abroad p>
Elijah smiled and said, “Yes, he just got back. I brought him here to have some fun. Sorry for the trouble p>
He then looked at Uriah. “Go save a spot for me to watch the fireworks and bring my coat p>
“Okay.” Uriah nodded and then signaled Alice to follow him with his eyes.
With so many people watching, Michael couldn’t force Alice to do anything.
Alice stood stiffly, quietly looking at Uriah, then shook her head slightly.
She didn’t dare to leave.
Michael’s grip on her tightened, and she could feel his anger.
She was afraid of him, her feet unable to move.
Alice kept telling herself that according to the contract, she was no longer part of the Johnson Group.
Even if the legal department came after her, it wouldn’t be a big problem.
But she was still scared. She didn’t know how else Michael could threaten her.
ง
The unknown was the most terrifying.
She knew Michael too well. If he wanted to, he could completely destroy a person.
Alice stood still for a long time. Michael let go of her and walked towards Dax. “Mr. King, let’s go upstairs. There are a few clients
we need to meet p>
He strode upstairs without giving Alice a glance.
But Alice knew that if she dared to leave, she would be finished.
Alice was terrified to the extreme. She hastily nodded to Uriah and then quickly went upstairs.
Uriah followed her.
When she reached the second floor, Alice realized it was a luxurious casino, with only a few people around.
Alice scanned the room. Most of the people were well-known in the business world, and there were even a few politicians.
It turned out that the second floor was where the big shots negotiated.
Scantily clad dealers were dealing cards, and each boss had a beautiful woman by his side. It was clear that many had already closed

deals and were enjoying themselves.
Dax and his group went straight to the blackjack table, where two other people were seated.
Alice was startled when she saw their faces. One was real estate tycoon Eric Allen, and the other was stock market genius Austin
Roberts, often featured in financial news.
She had a rough idea of who Michael was targeting.
That piece of land was too big for one company to handle alone, so it required a partnership.
The Savage family and the Allen family were both good choices. Michael’s next potential partner was likely Eric.
Dax had a pile of chips brought over and patted Michael on the shoulder. “I’m getting old and can’t sit for long. You know the rules and play a few rounds for me. But don’t win too much, or Mr. Allen might get upset p>
Eric, holding a busty beauty, laughed heartily, “Are you calling me stingy? I’ll win all your chips in no time p>
At that moment, Celestia also came up.
She was wearing a strapless blue gown, elegant yet sexy.
Alice knew that in terms of looks, Celestia was on par with her. Many people would probably want to swap partners with Elijah.
Celestia went straight to Elijah, knelt beside him, and lit his cigarette.
Alice looked at the others and found that each man had a woman kneeling at his feet, beautiful and obedient.
Eric had two women at his feet and was holding another, clearly a lecher.
Everyone was seated except Alice.
Michael looked at her disapprovingly. “Can’t find your place p>
Alice understood he wanted her to kneel. But she was unwilling.
She wasn’t his pet. Even if she was his tool, her job was over. She belonged to herself now.
She stood quietly, her face expressionless.
Eric looked her up and down, then nodded. “Is this your bargaining chip? Your taste is quite good. No wonder your demands are so
high p>
Michael raised an eyebrow but said nothing, signaling the dealer to deal the cards.
Eric pushed the beauty in his arms away and patted his thigh, looking at Alice. Come here p>

Alice clenched her fists and didn’t move forward.
She now fully understood why Michael hadn’t agreed to Elijah right away. There was indeed a bigger project that needed her.
The Savage family was strong, but in real estate, they couldn’t compare to the Allen family. Giving her to Eric was indeed more
suitable.
“Didn’t you hear me? Eric slammed the table, and the two girls at his feet looked at Alice.
One of them kept signaling to her, her eyes filled with fear.
Seeing the scars on the girl’s back, Alice knew Eric was no good.
Elijah suddenly said, “Mr. Johnson, no wonder you didn’t agree to cooperate with me right away. But didn’t we offer similar terms
with Mr. Allen? Maybe you should reconsider our cooperation p>
Eric looked at him impatiently. “Mr. Savage, are you trying to take my prey p>
