But with the Lu family’s bodyguards holding them down tight, they couldn’t do a damn thing to stop her.
“Your mouths are filth-polluting the air. I'm just cleaning them out for you!”
Without warning, Lily turned and grabbed another fistful of Mathilda’s hair, filled with so much hatred she
wanted to strangle her.
Images of the bones piled in the corner of that basement flashed through her mind, and her fury grew so intense
it felt like blood was about to bead from the corner of her eyes.
“Mathilda, five years ago, Jenn and Sharon could've escaped. You didn’t want to run, fine-you accepted your
fate. But why did you betray them?”
“You got Jenn killed and didn’t feel a shred of remorse. Then you helped traffickers sellinto the mountains...
You deserve to die!”
“I don’t know what you're talking about.”
Mathilda’s face was ashen. “I don’t even know who Jenn or Sharon are. Andworking with traffickers to sell
you off? That's insane. | was sold as a child myself-1 hate those people more than anything. Why would | ever
work with them? Why would | hurt someone | saw as a sister?”
James looked like he was going to be sick.
He sneered, lips curling coldly, and gave Ashton a glance.
“Play the video.”
He hadn't planned to reveal that evidence yet-he’d saved it for court.
But these Ginger family psychos were so mind-numbingly stupid, he couldn't watch in silence any longer. It was

At James's cue, Ashton tapped the screen on the tablet.
As soon as he did, a heavy dread began to sink in Mathilda’s gut.
But she forced herself to stay calm. It had been five years. That mountain village had no internet. The people
there barely used phones. James couldn't possibly have found any useful proof.
And those four traffickers-she wasn’t worried about them either. They swore they'd covered their tracks well. In
real life, they were all considered honest and upstanding folks. No one would suspect them.
James had no way of connecting them to her..
Comforted by that thought, her nerves began to settle.

Ashton opened the first video and held the tablet up for the Ginger brothers to see.
“That's her! Mathilda, for sure! | remember like it was yesterday. Five years ago, those two girls had a real- shot
at escaping. But she ratted them out. Not only didn’t they get away—they were almost beaten to death!”
In the footage, James’s team could be heard questioning villagers while holding up Mathilda’s photo. The
villagers all chimed in.
“I remember too. She's the one who told.”
“That girl-no conscience at all. Poor kids...”
Even after all these years, seeing the people from that village again made Mathilda feel a flicker of panic.
But then she reminded herself-she was the Ginger family’s precious daughter now. That hellhole was long
behind her. There was no way she’d ever go back.
She turned teary-eyed to James, all pitiful and fragile. “James, how could you do this to me? I'm your fiancée,
and you brought in a bunch of people to smearlike this? Sure, money talks, but who's to say these people
aren't just saying what you paid them to say?”
“Money does talk.”
James cut her off coldly. “That’s how | got the next video.”
“What... video?”
His eyes-sharp as blades and twice as cold-sent a fresh wave of dread crashing over her. Panic flooded back,
stronger than before. She couldn't stop herself from shrieking.
James didn’t bother answering her. He simply gave Ashton the nod.
Ashton opened the second video.
That village, deep in the mountains, didn’t have inteaccess. Most people there didn’t own phones.
But not everyone.

“I mean... you weren't going to get out anyway. So what if | turned you in?”

Mathilda looked different five years ago-no glitter, no jewels-but the woman in that footage was undeniably her.
Her voice carried guilt, but there was no mistaking it. It was hers.
