"Sir has instructed us to stage her suicide."


    Howard rejected the idea. "It''s a tragedy to end her life in this manner. Sir is suggesting that she


    took her own life out of fear ofmitting the crime. Can we instead stage her escape?"


    "What do you mean?"


    "She can still be sold for a good price." Howard sneered.


    I attempted to open my eyes, but I was not able to do so at that moment.


    Howard was actually one of the human traffickers. Unquestionably, they were all despicable


    individuals. It came as no surprise then, that every one of them was included in the serial murder


    case, with no exceptions.


    "Mandy has passed away. We have lost directmunication with them, and now we have to share


    half of our earnings with them. This is truly unlucky!"


    "The serial murderer is already dead, so what are you afraid of?" Howard identified the serial


    murderer as Simon, who was already deceased.


    Mandy was the first woman from the orphanage to be killed. She was also considered the "boss" of


    the orphanage.


    "Do you truly believe that the person who died was the mastermind and murderer of the serial


    murder case? Why do I sense that everyone on the Death List will eventually die?" Howard''s


    aplice, Bobby asked with a smile.


    Perhaps Bobby was joking, but as someone on the Death List, Howard was clearly frightened.


    "Don''t be ridiculous. It''s been a while and no one else has died. It''s clear that Simmie is the killer


    and is already deceased."


    Howard began to act recklessly after Simon''s death. He used to pretend, but now he didn''t even


    bother pretending.


    "Are we really selling her? What if Sir asks..."


    "Just say that we''ve taken care of her. Sir mentioned that she should disappear and not show up


    again," Howard said calmly as he walked to my side.


    I was awake at the moment, but I didn''t dare to open my eyes yet.


    Howard stared at me for what felt like an eternity, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Stephany, don''t


    you dare me me. It''s your own foolishness that''s to me here. You can''t even survive anymore,


    but you still want to be kind and help those children who trust you. If we don''t make use of you, then


    who else can we use?"


    "Humans can''t be overly kind-hearted. Refrain from getting entangled in other people''s situations. It


    may lead to negative consequences for yourself," Howard murmured to himself.


    Iprehended Howard''s words, and a wave of relief washed over me. Stephany did notmit


    any legal infractions. Rather, she was taken advantage of. Moreover, the person they referred to as


    "Sir" was Peter.


    Stephany''s kindness toward those homeless children had unfortunately be an opportunity for


    these deceitful individuals to exploit. They aimed to use it as a means to threaten and potentially


    deceive her.


    Combined with the charitable funds and projects mentioned by Howard earlier, it became apparent


    that Stephany could not single-handedly support so many children. Furthermore, some of the


    children had congenital diseases. Hence, Stephany required a significant amount of money.


    "Stephany, I actually really like you." He firmly held my chin, seizing the chance to caress my face.


    I could sense his malicious intent...


    Seeing that I was unconscious, Howard became increasingly courageous. "It''s unfortunate that Sir


    actually requested you to marry that fool. You are so obedient and willing to do anything as long as


    he provides money to help you support those little bastards. You can even sell yourself. You are


    truly a kind-hearted person..."


    His fingers started to glide down, raising my garments.


    I fought the urge to move. Howard was not alone in this ce at the moment... If I were to wake up,


    I knew they would surely kill me.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.
