“Call the police?”
Evan sneered, looking down on her as if she were an ant.
Clearly, he didn’t take Adeline’s threat seriously at all.

“You crunning to us, begging to be kept. You only want to call the police now because we didn’t give you the
jewels you wanted. You think anyone's going to believe you? Sweetheart, that pill | just gave you- it's the good
stuff. Costa fortune to get it. Tonight you'll need us, or else... even the hospital won't save you. You'll burn
up from the inside out. So be a good girl, and we'll take real good care of you.”
“Animals!”
Adeline trembled with rage, every word of his twisted threat making her sick.
She refused to let these filthy beasts ruin her life. Even if she died tonight, she wouldn't let their stain mark her
body.
“Mom... Mom...”
The door to the suite stood wide open, and from the hallway, Adeline saw Hailey-her mother-standing there,
watching.
With the last of her strength, Adeline reached out a hand, begging, “Mom, help me... call the police...”
“Don’t blme.”
Hailey’s voice was cold, her eyes indifferent. She didn’t take a single step toward her daughter.

Rob are rich men. For them to take an interest in you is a blessing. Your brother wants to build a future here in
the capital, and they promisedthat if you serve them well, they'll give him a brand-new two- bedroom
apartment in their latest development. Do you know how much that place is worth? Four, five million. You're his
sister. You have to help him.”
Adeline’s tears spilled freely.
The moment she'd seen those two greasy faces at the hotel entrance, she had suspected her mother’s betrayal.
But because she loved Hailey, she’d clung to a shred of hope.
Now that hope was gone.
She had always believed her mother was different from her father, who had treated her as nothing but a
commodity, only useful if she could be traded for her brother Taven’s benefit.
She thought Hailey cared. After all, when she’d been sick as a child, her mother had cried at her bedside. Even
later, when she had foster parents, Hailey sometimes called to remind her to dress warmly,
But now she saw the truth: they were the same.
To them, Taven-the lazy, useless son-was everything. She, no matter how hard she worked or how much

Hailey did feel a flicker of discomfort as she watched the tears streaking Adeline’s face. But then she
remembered Taven'’s threat to starve himself if he didn’t get the apartment, and she pushed the guilt aside.
Her son was the future of their family. She couldn't let him waste away.

“Relax,” Mr. Evan said with a grin. “As long as she keeps us satisfied, I'll give your son a fully furnished three-

Three bedrooms?
Hailey’s eyes lit with greedy joy. Nearly ten million-her family was set for life.

How laughable.
For Taven’s future, her mother had sold her own daughter.
Taven’s life mattered. But Adeline’s life? Hers was disposable.
The absurdity of it all tore a broken laugh from her throat, even as her tears streamed uncontrollably.
Hailey flinched at the sound, unease flickering through her. But her fear that Adeline would displease these men
—and ruin Taven’s chance at wealth-made her voice sharpen with threat.
“Stop thinking nonsense. If your brother doesn’t get that apartment because of you, your father and | will never-
forgive you.”
