    Chapter 473


    Valerie couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat, her heart racing


    Luckily, Ethan’s mouth was taped shut, so all he could manage were a few muffled groans. He


    was clearly aware of being tied up and struggled with determination. Despite his efforts, Ruth had


    tied him securely, so his struggles didn’t amount to much. Seeing this, Valerie breathed a sigh of


    relief. The human trafficker nced at her and asked, “What happened? You said you drugged her,


    didn’t you? You’re not pulling my leg, are you?”


    Valerie remained calm as she replied, “Nope. If you don’t believe me, ask my wifer


    Then, she nudged Ruth, who visibly paled. Valerie grabbed her arm and signaled for her to speak


    drop left


    Ruth hurriedly exined, “It’s true. We gave her all the medicine you gave us before. There wasn’t


    a drop)


    The human trafficker looked at them and then at the sack. Suddenly, he burst outughing. “Man,


    this girl is something elser


    He smacked the sack, giving Ethan’s butt a hit that made him squirm


    “Heh! You’re full of energy? The human trafficker seemed satisfied.


    Valerie also smiled. Despite Ethan waking up, she wasn’t worried about him causing any more


    trouble.


    Thinking quickly, she softened her tone and said to the human trafficker. “This girl can be a


    handful. I’ll be straight with you. I think 600 dors is strep. How about I sell her at market rate, 2


    dors per pound? She’s around 100 pounds, so let’s make it 200 dors”


    Worried the human trafficker wouldn’t believe her, Valerie added. “But o


    once I sell her to you, there’s no returning her. She’s got quite the temper!” The human trafficker


    grinned from ear to ear. “Don’t worry. No matter how tough she is, she’ll have to listen to me!


    “You sure about selling her for 200 dor?”


    Valene scoffed. “That’s all she’s worth!


    woman just dare insult me like that?!‘


    When Ethan heard this, he instantly flew into a rage. “Did this wo


    The human trafficker was naturally thrilled. He’d scored a huge bargain. He counted out 200 dors


    and handed it to Valerie. Afraid she might change her mind, he quickly sealed the deal jumped into


    the car, hit the gas, and sped off


    When Valerie saw the car disappear, she sighed in relief and smiled. Ruth was taken aback by her


    expression. She never imagined her daughter, who had always been easy to talk to and mild–


    mannered, would now show such audacity,


    Ruth asked hesitantly, “Valerie, since you’ve already sold him, can I leave now?”


    Valerie handed her the money with a slight smile. Ruth blinked in surprise. You don’t want it?


    Valerie said calmly, “I’ll give you all this money. He beats you up and talks harshly, anyone will


    understand if you don’t want a man like that. Take the money and pretend you don’t know


    anything.”


    Hearing this, Huth was overjoyed. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Valerie. “You’re right! Valerie,


    I’m so d I raised you well!”


    Recently, Ruth had been extremely poor. She’d grown used to spendingvishly with Valerie’s


    money, but now she couldn’t even afford enough to eat. Even though she only had 200 dors, it


    was still a lot for her. Counting the moneyppily, she muttered. “Too bad he sold for so little!”


    Ethan was still a human, so selling him for 600 dors didn’t seem excessive to Ruth. She couldn’t


    understand why Valerie would sell him for the price of meat market.


    dors should be enough. If they


    catch us, we’re


    r out of options.


    Valerie murmured. “Let’s move quickly to avoid any mishaps. Selling him for 200 doll Hurry up and


    get out of here!”


    Ruth thought it made sense and turned to leave. To her surprise, as she turned away, Valerie swiftly


    grabbed a stick from behind.


    Then, with a thud, Valerie knocked her out


    Seeing Ruth fall to the ground, Valerie red down her and tossed the stick aside,


    Ethan was out of his mind. Ruth wasn’t exactly a sain either. She nearly went along with Ethan’s


    idea to sell Valerie. If Valerie hadn’t been quick- witted she could have ended up in a car bound for


    nowhere. Valerie trusted no one. It was only because Ruth had shown some kindness the day


    before that Valerie didn’t sell her long ago but instead knocked her out. Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.


    Ruth’s head hit theer of the wall, blood sttering swiftly dashed in the opposite direction.
