Chapter 155: Then Why Doesn’t She Have an Electronic Wristband?
A girl face was pale, almost skeletal, with her eyes closed. Only her faint breaths and crumbs around her mouth suggested she was still alive.
She wore a stained dress with the hem pulled up to her knees, revealing legs that seemed to have withered away.
The girl was none other than Molly, the once-famous online singer with an angelic voice.
Rachel looked at her with disdain and kicked her a few times.
Molly slowly began to wake up, her vision foggy.
Upon seeing Rachel, Molly screamed in fear, her eyes wide with terror and disbelief. She tried to scoot away, but there was nowhere to go.
“You’re quite resilient, surviving until now,” Rachel said, holding her handkerchief to her nose and looking at her as if she were trash.
“What do you want? When will you release me?” Molly trembled in fear, like a frightened animal.
It was Rachel!
This woman was a devil!
She had incited Molly’s mother, Kathy, to kill Paige. When the plot was exposed, Kathy was arrested, and Paige had broken Molly’s legs. Molly had thought she’d be sent to Wind Island, but instead, she was kidnapped and locked in this basement, left to survive on a pile of near-expired food.
Her legs were useless, and she had barely any room to move. Sometimes she couldn’t even make it to the bathroom in time… living like a dog.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
So many times she wanted to end her life.
But she didn’t have the courage.
“……”
Rachel truly despised this woman, who was both stupid and cowardly, incapable of even ending her own life.
The reason Rachel had imprisoned Molly here was to control Kathy. She couldn’t let Kathy reveal that the car accident was orchestrated. With Molly in her hands, Kathy wouldn’t dare to speak out.
After confining Molly, Rachel fed her a bit and waited for Kathy to be executed. Once that happened, Molly would become useless.
Unexpectedly, today’s real estate sales meeting brought her an unexpected gain.
So, she had to come find Molly.
Rachel squatted down in front of her and said, “I need to ask you a question.”
Molly, leaning against the wall, trembled violently, her eyes peeking out from behind her messy hair, filled with terror.
“I want to know if Paige was sent to the slums by you,” Rachel asked softly.
The name caught Molly off guard. She instinctively reached for her legs, her fear intensifying.
Devils!
Both of these women were devils!
Molly was scared and gasping for breath, unable to speak.
“I was careless. Back then, I only knew Paige had conflicts with your family and didn’t inquire further about the nature of the conflict,” Rachel said with a smile, “So tell me.”
“……”
Molly huddled to the side in terror.
Rachel said, “Speak up. I wasn’t planning on letting you go, but if you help me with this, I might consider sparing you.”
But Molly had been imprisoned for so long, reduced to a pitiful state, her body shaking with anxiety. She could only utter, “When will you release me? Please let me go.”
Rachel lost patience. She took the handkerchief and pressed it firmly over Molly’s mouth and nose.
“Hmmph-”
Molly’s eyes widened in pain as she struggled helplessly against Rachel, who was weak but determined. Her attempts to kick were futile, as her legs had lost all strength.
Rachel, unaccustomed to this, found it difficult to hold on, her own breathing becoming shallow. She asked, “Are you awake now? Can you speak?”
“……”
Molly nodded desperately, looking at her in despair.
Rachel took a deep breath, removed the handkerchief, and threw it aside. “Tell me, was Paige sent to the slums by you?”
Molly, slumped on the floor, looked frail and curled up, unlike the radiant internet star she once was.
She didn’t dare to lie. Facing Rachel, she felt like an ant.
“Yes,” Molly said, her voice pale, her eyes fearful. “On her 18th birthday, Paige was sent to the slums by my father.”
“So Paige really is a lowly person from the slums?” Rachel’s eyes lit up, and her blood boiled with excitement. “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
Such crucial information, and she had just learned it today!
She had thought Paige changed her name because she wanted to sever ties with the Clarkes. But it turned out Paige was merely a lowly person from the slums.
Molly looked at her anxiously, weakly saying, “I couldn’t say. If it got out, it would be discovered that our family used means to send her there, which would affect my father’s career.”
So she couldn’t say…
But even though it wasn’t exposed, Paige still managed to ruin the Clarkes.
“So foolish.”
Rachel looked at her with disgust and then said, “Why doesn’t she have an electronic bracelet?”
As far as she knew, to prevent lowly people from the slums from escaping to the mainland, they were all marked with electronic bracelets made from special materials that couldn’t be removed.
Molly shook her head. “I don’t know. I’ve wondered about that too, but she only has a bracelet.”
“Could it be that you didn’t actually send her to the slums?” Rachel asked.
“Impossible. My father watched the lock ring being placed on her.”
Molly said, not understanding what Rachel was after.
Then where did the lock ring go?
Rachel frowned, stood up, and began pacing, kicking aside the wrapping paper on the floor.
Could it be that her Enrico knew Paige was from the slums and used his means to remove the lock ring?
No, that didn’t make sense.
She had heard that the lock ring was designed to be deeply embedded in the flesh, so even if it could be removed, there would be marks or scars left on Paige’s wrist.
The bracelet.
Rachel suddenly realized. Perhaps it was wrapped with some special technique, making it look like a simple bracelet?
That must be it!
This Paige was truly scheming.
Thinking this, Rachel turned and headed upstairs quickly, pulling out her phone to call Jaden and inform Enrico of this news.
Her Enrico had been with Paige for so long, and had been tainted by her for so long. It was enough.
People got dirty alongside her.
Rachel was about to press the call button when she suddenly realized something and stopped.
No.
Her Enrico couldn’t possibly be unaware. With his immense power, he would have discovered Paige’s altered background unless he had tacitly approved it.
The thought made Rachel’s heart race. Was her Enrico insane?
