Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

On top of that, the famous star's fans wanted to go to their small village because they were angry.

And so, the people in the village started saying that Esther was bad luck.

One day, a lot of them went to see Finnegan early in the morning. They found him and said, "Mister Finnegan, who is this woman you brought here? Why has she brought so much trouble to our village?" "Yeah, we should get rid of her. If not, those fans wouldn't stop saying we've kidnapped their idol."

"We're just farmers. What can we do if they come?"

"We must get rid of Esther!"

"Get rid of Esther!"

Everyone started shouting. Finnegan, instead of rushing to respond, calmly looked at everyone and asked, "Who told you Esther is a famous person?"

"Miss Reina and her gang," one farmer replied.

"And how do they know?"

The farmer looked uncomfortable for a moment. "They know because they often go to big cities, bring women back, and sell them to us as wives."Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

"So, you're saying they're the ones who bring women here to sell?"

The villagers didn't realize Finnegan was trying to sound them out and just nodded.

"Yeah, that's what they do."

Finnegan chuckled. "And do you think that's okay?"

The villagers stopped talking. After a bit, one bravely said, "We know it's wrong and illegal. But we're poor, can't find wives, and nobody wants to marry us because we don't have much education."

Many men in the village believed

having sons was very important, so there were more men than women Since it was hard to find women, they sometimes went to other places to buy women to marry and have sons.

But these women often didn't want to stay. They tried to run away and were treated badly if they were caught trying to escape.

Those men felt that the women would become obedient once they were beaten up.

One big, tough-looking man picked

his ear and asked impatiently, "Mister Finnegan, what does this have to do with the problem? We bought a woman named Esther by mistake, and she has lots of

fans.

Shouldn't we focus on getting rid of her?"

The village was small, with just a few hundred homes and a few thousand people. But Esther had tens of thousands of fans. The. villagers were scared of what might happen if all these fans came to their village wanting revenge.

"I'm telling you this as a lesson," Finnegan said. "You took Esther, and she has lots of fans. What if one day you take someone even more famous and important?" Someone muttered, "It's fine as long as they don't find out."
