Chapter 347 That's Mom Before Anastasia even had tto think about who the patron could be, the man had already leaned against her. No matter how hard she struggled, whimpered, or begged for mercy, it was useless. As the night dragged on, her pleas for mercy died out. The men cin one after another, and she was so humiliated by the third one that she had lost all hope.
After the others had their fill with her, Theo went in. Under the light from his phone, he saw who was inside. Although her mouth was covered with tape, he could tell at a glance that she wasn't Rose! Rose, whom Oliver doted on, was so eye-catching that he would never forget her face, even though he had only caught a fleeting glimpse of her. But the woman in front of him ...
Theo was stunned for a moment and recognized Anastasia after a minute. She was also a lady of the Youngs. Since arriving at the orphanage, she had been alone and was staring at Rose disdainfully. She also recognized him, and her despair turned into agitation. She struggled violently. Suddenly, the rope tying her hands together broke.
She immediately tore off the tape on her mouth. Her first instinct wasn't to run away but rather to ask who had caused her such agony. She looked ferocious.
"Who is the patron you mentioned just now?" He was startled and wanted to call his companions in, but she immediately added, "Do you know who I am? Oliver Young is my grandfather. How much does that patron give you? I'll give you ten times the payment. I only want to know who he is." Many people flashed through her mind. She had no enemies in Aquastead, and she had never offended anyone. For a moment, she thought it was Rose. But despite everything that had happened, she knew Rose wouldn't use such tactics. Although she didn't like Rose, she appreciated her character. But if it wasn't Rose, who else would it be? "It's Ms. Lawson," Theo said.
As he did so, Anastasia's offer echoed in his mind. The amount Ms. Lawson had offered was already incredulous, let alone ten times that amount! He had been tempted by the thought of more money.

I have no grudge against you. Besides ..." Besides, Ms. Lawson wanted them to kidnap Rose, not Anastasia. But he didn't dare tell her that they had kidnapped the wrong person.
"Ms. Lawson?" She tried to recall if she knew anyone whose surnwas Lawson, but she had no idea.
He felt relieved that she hadn't realized that they had kidnapped the wrong person. At this time, he could only help her find more information about the patron to relieve his guilt.
"I heard someone call her Maya." Maya Lawson! The nsuddenly sprang to her mind. Although she didn't take Maya seriously, she had interacted with her before. She was Kelly and Rose's cousin, but she hated Rose and was closer to Kelly.
"It's Kelly!" She gritted her teeth. Without even needing to confirm it, she could tell that the person behind Maya, and the so-called patron, was Kelly.
"Take off your clothes!" she ordered him coldly. She was an absolute mess, and the previous men had torn off her clothes. She couldn't care about anything else at that moment.
Theo was stunned for a moment but immediately took off his clothes. She covered herself and glared at him sharply. Even a villain like him couldn't help but shudder.
"I promise to pay you, but you must help me." He gulped and asked, "How can I help?" She looked outside. Several men were laughing obscenely and excitedly chatting about what they had just done. She kept quiet, but a murderous intent was brewing in her.
How dare those scum touch her? She was going to make them pay! She took his phone. On the screen was exactly what had happened, and she felt humiliated all over again by it. She quickly deleted the recording.
When she handed over the phone to him, she ordered, "Do to that patron what your men just did to me!" She wouldn't let Maya and Kelly go so easily.
She genuinely thought that Kelly was targeting her and didn't know that she had been mistaken for Rose. Meanwhile, in the forest, Kelly was still on Gabriel's back. She thought that everything that she had planned for had happened to Rose. But what she didn't realize was that she had made a powerful new enemy for herself.
Rose woke up faintly. Although it was fuzzy at first, she soon remembered the face she saw before she was knocked unconscious.
"Nixon Lane!" almost instinctively, she yelled out loud. But she didn't see him when she opened her eyes.
She looked around quickly. She realized that she was in a ship's cabin. It was dilapidated, and the sea breeze outside was strong, causing the ship's hull to shake violently.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe wanted to stand up, but her hands and feet were tied together. After several tries, something fell out of her pocket. It was a photo.
She remembered it was what the old woman had taken out from Henrietta's secret hideout on the mountain earlier. She tried racking her brain to figure out how to escape. But when she saw a familiar face in the photo, she froze. "M-Mom."
One of the girls in the photo looked very young, but she recognized her. It Celeste! Why was her mother in this photo? Apart from her mother, there were several more girls and a middle-aged woman in it. The middle-aged woman had a mole in the corner of her eye. This clue suddenly reminded her of something, and she immediately looked at the old woman who was tied up next to her. Nixon had also brought the old woman here. She was lying on the ground unconscious. Rose tried to crawl over to get closer to the old woman. She relaxed a little when she noticed that the old woman was still breathing.
"Granny? Granny?" she called out to the old woman softly, trying to wake her up. She wanted to ask the old woman about the question on her mind.
But despite trying a few times, the old woman didn't respond. If she hadn't found out that the old woman was breathing, she would have thought the old woman was dead. She wanted to call the old woman again.
But at this moment, she heard footsteps outside, accompanied by the wind and waves. The soundin echoed in the ship's vast cabin. After a moment, a man appeared in her sight. Without the cover of his peaked cap, she could see him clearly. "Nixon! What are you going to do?" Like RICH WOMEN? X These women desperately want a mature men!
