Chapter 319 They Don''t Care About You
"Oh, you are so pitiful." The man gazed at Elyse with a mix of sympathy and concern. Her mother had picked her sister right away, which must hit her hard. Besides, choosing her sister had cost four
million more.
The man saw an opportunity for Elyse. He turned to Lanny and asked, "Your wife has made her choice. What about you? Who will you save?
Lanny''s response was urgent. "Mabel Lloyd. The one you priced at five
million!"
With a sigh, the man removed Mabel''s sack and held her in his arms.
Mabel, overwhelmed by fear, remained frozen, tears marred her face, and her hair was a total mess.
Looking pleased, the man instructed, "Hand the case with five million to my man. Once it''s verified, your dear daughter will be returned."
Upon hearing this, Glenda hastened to pass the case to a tall, slender man dressed in ck.
The tall man opened the case to count the money swiftly and then snapped it shut. He gave a nod
to his boss and disappeared with the money. Content with the transaction, the leading man affectionately patted Mabel''s shoulder and announced, "Congrattions. You''re going I wism.co
After being freed, Mabel still seemed disoriented, Was she free to go?
The man called out to Mabel and gestured towards Elyse, who stood quietly. "She''s your elder sister. If not for you, we wouldn''t have abducted her. What do you have to say to her?" Mabel turned to look at Elyse.
Elyse held herself upright, her expression hidden under the sack.
The silence stretched on until Mabel''s face twisted with bitterness. She spat out each word at Elyse, "I never considered you my sister. Go to hell, Elyse. I''lllive the life you never will!"
With that, Mabel dashed off, flinging her arms around her parents in relief.N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.
Mabel eximed, "Dad, Mom, I was so frightened. Let''s go home!"
Tears had already overe Glenda, and even Lanny''s eyes were damp.
The man stroked his chin, unsatisfied with the reunion. After a moment, he removed Elyse''s sack. Elyse''s eyes slowly opened, revealing a profound sadness. She watched the family of three embrace, forting each other, oblivious to her plight.
She clenched her teeth, struggling to contain her emotions.
"Look, they''re leaving. They don''t care about you." The man sensed Elyse''s emotions and
murmured, "Are you willing to give it another shot for yourself? They didn''t have to spend nearly
as much on saving you as they did on Mabel."
Elyse bit her lip, trembling. Her sorrow welled up in her eyes but she stubbornly held back the tears. She wouldn''t let them fall.
"They say the squeaky wheel gets the grease. If you don''t speak up, how will they know what you want?" The man grinned wickedly, his eyes gleaming with malice.
Elyse couldn''t contain her emotions any longer and yelled at the tric< walking away, "Mom..." Tears streaked down her cheeks. She looked at Glenda with hope and fear. She couldn''t bear the Hearing Elyse''s cry, Glenda halted and slowly turned back.
It was dim, the darkness around them overpowering even with the light on. Glenda and Elyse stood apart, separated by the gulf of their distance. But Elyse clearly saw the coldness in Glenda''s eyes. Glenda was looking at her as if staring at a corpse.
Elyse couldn''t ept it. She needed answers. "I''m your daughter, aren''t I? Why won''t you save me? Why?"
Tears streamed down her face, but Glenda remained silent. She shielded Mabel and quickly left. The man watched Elyse''s tear-streaked face with an almost appreciative gaze, letting her cry until she stopped. He then said gently, "Don''t worry. You long for your parents, right? I''ll help you find your real parents who truly care for you"
He gestured, and a subordinate approached to escort Elyse away. As she walked off, he gave a chilling smile that sent a shiver down the spines of those who
At two in the morning, Jayden stood in his study, gazing out the The moon was hidden by dark clouds, which filled him with unease.
"Boss, I''ve got some clues!" Troy eximed, holding four cell phones. He pointed to one and said,
"On this phone, Mabel has been chatting with someone overseas. I''ve traced the IP address, and it''s linked to Marsey Ind."
"Marsey Ind?" Jayden repeated, his expression clouded with confusion. "How could it be on Marsey Ind?"
