Chapter 3Bidding on My Life: The Heiress's Revenge

The room erupted. Lust filled every pair of eyes staring at me.

"Damn, that's top tier!"

"So young but that body is demonic! A natural stunner!"

"Way better than flat-chested Sarah over there. I'm bidding!"

Blood rushed to my head as I looked at the naked images.

"Julian, you bastard! You have no right!"

He felt zero guilt.

"What? I thought you liked being watched. Stop pretending, you're enjoying this, aren't you?"

Another wave of laughter. I wanted to disappear.

"What's wrong, Miss River? Still bidding?"

"But videos are boring. Why don't you service the boys right here? There's at least sixty guys. One night with each, charge a thousand bucks... that's sixty grand right there!"

The crowd cheered at Julian's suggestion.

"I'll pay two thousand!"

"Get lost! No driving up the price! One thousand max!"

"Yeah, maybe the first few are worth a grand, but used goods depreciate fast!"

I clenched my fists so hard my nails dug into my palms.

Julian, you can hate me, you can kill me, but why humiliate me like this?

I swear, I will make you regret being born.

I slammed the table, enunciating every word:

"Betting money is boring. Sarah Snow, do you dare to bet your life?"

The room went silent.

Sarah stammered, "L-life? What do you mean? You want to commit suicide here?"

"No. I mean the rest of our lives. As long as we breathe, the loser becomes the winner's slave. The slave owns nothing; everything belongs to the master. The slave must obey every command, even if the command is to die."

You could hear a pin drop.

Everyone was shocked by the stakes.

Julian whispered furiously to Sarah.

My back was soaked with sweat.

They could have stopped here. They had already stripped the River family of everything and ensured I could never recover.

But I was gambling. Gambling on Sarah's greed.

If I was wrong, I was doomed to eternal hell.

Sarah bit her lip, ignoring Julian's warnings. Her eyes burned with unwillingness to lose.

Finally, she stood up and screamed at me.

"Just a life? I call!"
