Chapter 57


    Chapter 57 That’s Only the Beginning, Eileen


    Five people came out of the car, and Eileen instinctively put her hands on the ground, retreating in fear


    while casting them disgusted res.


    “What…what do you want…” she stammered, her voice trembling with apprehension.


    “No…stay away!” Eileen pleaded, hoping her words would deter them.


    “I can give you money, all the money you want,” she offered, hoping it would buy her way out of the


    situation.


    Thomas, wearing a lecherous smile, advanced towards Eileen, tauntingly remarking, “I almost broke


    my bones chasing after you…Now I see where you were trying to go…”


    Hispanions joined in, making crude suggestions, “Let’s take her straight to our ce and have


    some fun with all five of us!”


    “That’s right! Last time, I wanted to have my way with this girl. She’s not worth much more than the


    women who sell themselves for a few dors on the streets. I bet it won’t take more than three days to


    break her spiritpletely. From now on, she’ll serve us and even bear us some children.”


    Eileen managed to stand on trembling legs and bravely spoke, “You guys are breaking thew, do you


    know that!”


    Their response was wildughter, filled with disdainful sarcasm, “Breaking thew? Do you even know


    where you are? Here, we are thew.


    “This is madness…you are all crazy…”


    The thought of falling into their hands terrified her. She could not bear the idea of experiencing the


    tragedy of her previous life again.


    Her cries and screams echoed in the empty warehouse, while the faces of those men seemed like


    demons, haunting her like a never-ending nightmare.


    She desperately did not want this to happen again


    In the dark, a ck car was parked in the nearby parking lot. The man inside the car wore a Blueworth,


    headset and reported. ‘Mr Snow Ivesent the picture


    Do you wat kotake action how? Those people


    aleply wanted to 4tuar her


    “Don’t rush, I’ll handle it. Follow them closely!”


    The wiper lever moved back and forth, making a creaking sound. On the car’s disy screen, a dim


    video showed a group of tall men bullying a defenseless eighteen-year-old girl.


    Eric watched the surveince footage thoughtfully, his eyes filled with darkness.


    Eileen, you were so eager to escape from the Swan family, but now you see the consequences…


    Sometimes the wrong decision leads to a heavy price.


    You’re a princess, don’t you know that this world can be filthy and cruel. Wouldn’t it be better to stay


    sheltered in the greenhouse?


    Eileen, all of this is only the beginning!


    In the video, Eileen was struggling with the men, her coat torn to shreds and she was covered in mud!


    Her eyes reflected despair, yet she still fought back even though she was overpowered.


    It seemed like they were toying with a helpless kitten. Eileen bore numerous bruises on her body.


    When she fell to the ground, one man grabbed her face and forcibly pulled her into the car.


    In her desperation, Eileen grabbed a stone and hurled it at her assant with all her might.


    A deafening thud resonated through the air.


    Seizing the moment, Eileen quickly got up from the ground and fled…


    “No, she ran off!”


    “Hurry up and chase her!”


    A group of people sought shelter from the rain under the caves, and Elm, wearing a ck jacket,


    covered his head to shield himself from the downpour.


    Vere stood beside him and noticed his ck short-sleeved shirt, “Aren’t you cold? You should wear this


    jacket instead”


    Tim replied Im not cold, just wear it


    Jasmine stood beside Vera rubbing her an Ayoutwo togedier nu Progress seems


    Vera blushed and said, “Don’t talk nonsense, we’re just friends.”


    “That’s it? Just friends? Don’t pretend!” Pa teased, rolling his eyes.


    Taylor chimed in, “What terrible weather! It starts raining as soon as we gather. It’s like the heavens


    have no respect for us.”


    Pa retorted, “Respect? Who do you think you are? Do you expect the heavens to show respect to


    you? Aren’t you afraid of getting struck down?”


    Their banter continued, and theyughed together.


    Amidst the chatter, someone suddenly heard a cry for help.


    “Did you guys hear that? Someone is calling for help!”


    “Nah, you must have misheard something.”


    “No, I swear I heard it too! Someone is really calling for help, and there are several other voices as


    well.”


    Elm narrowed his eyes, listening carefully. The faint voice of a woman calling for help. echoed in the


    back alley, apanied by several male voices.


    “Help! Is there anyone…”


    “Stupid girl, where do you think you’re running off to!”


    Taylor recognized the voices and said, “I’m telling you, that’s Thomas and his gang. Once you hear it,


    you know they’re forcing some poor woman again.”


    “Pa, do you hear that woman’s voice? She just arrived not long ago and talked back to them.”


    Pa replied, “I can tell that Thomas is a despicable person, not worth anything. That young girl had


    just turned 18… Elm, should we go and check it out?”


    Elm nonchntly took out a cigarette from his pocket, sniffed it between his nose, and said. “Since


    when did you guys be so interested in meddling with people’s business?”


    Vera hesitated, “Elm, I thought I heard Eileen’s voice. Is she…. here too?”


    Fim nced at her, his lips curling. It’s none of your concern, Pa. You stay here, Tavlor and I will buy


    an umbre. The rain seems like ‘ll continue for a while, don’t catch a cold going back

    As they walked, they realized they were going the wrong way.

    “Elm, the convenience store is over there, we’re going the wrong way.”


    On that rainy night, Elm’s eyes turned red, “One more word, and I’ll stuff the umbre in your mouth


    when we get back.”


    The three of them exchanged nces and followed behind obediently without saying anything more.


    Elm eximed, “Elm, look quickly, that young girl is up there.”


    Elm followed his gaze and saw that the rain showed no sign of stopping. The lighting here and all they


    could see was the dark and turbulent sea with huge waves crashing, and Eileen standing in a high


    ce with no escape.


    was poor,


    She was being forced back, and there were reefs beneath her feet. If she fell and was swept away by


    the waves, there was no chance of survival…


    “Mr. Snow, this is bad. Ms. Swan is forced to the edge of the sea and might jump in.”


    At that moment, on a bridge overlooking the sea, a ck Audi with its high beams on was observing


    the scene below.


    “Lionel, do you think… will she dare to jump, or not?”


    Lionel, his loyal subordinate, replied, “I’m not sure. But… if we don’t do anything, something bad might


    happen to Ms. Swan.”


    Soft music yed in the car, teasing lightly, while fingers tapped on the steering wheel.
