After all these years, Loraine had returned to the vige radiant and sessful, yet she was still being


    harassed like this. Marco couldn’t help but dread the ordeals Loraine must have suffered in the past.


    The idea of Lillie seeking Judie’s help wasughable. If anyone was going to find Judie, it would be him


    to hold her ountable for


    Loraine’s past sufferings.


    Lillie finally registered that the man apanying Loraine was not one to be trifled with. She nced


    warily at them and asked, “What do you want? I’m warning you, Judie won’t let you off lightly…”


    Before she couldplete her sentence, Lillie’s voice faltered, her gaze fixating on something with a


    look of avarice and longing in her eyes.


    Loraine followed Lillie’s gaze to her own wrist, where she sported a simple white golddies’


    wristwatch, a piece that easily cost two to three hundred thousand dors. She had chosen it


    nonchntly to match her attire.

    Yet, gauging from Lillie’s expression, Loraine was certain of what she was coveting. Lillie had her eyes


    on the watch.


    Greedy individuals, albeit repugnant, were often simple to control.


    With a knowing smile, Loraine delicately removed the wristwatch.

    Lillie’s eyes followed the piece as if it was a sulent bone being dangled before a starving dog.


    Loraine teasingly brandished the watch before Lillie and asked, “So, are you willing to tell me where


    Judie is now?”


    A flicker of hesitation passed through Lillie’s eyes, but she remained mute.


    With a raised eyebrow and a rxed voice, Loraine prodded, “This watch is worth two or three hundred


    thousand dors, which is practically pocket change to me. Give me Judie’s location, and it’s all yours.”


    Upon hearing this, Lillie’s eyes sparkled with unmistakable greed, and she involuntarily Licked her lips,


    her determination faltering.


    “How…how can this watch be so pricey? You’re trying to trick me!”


    Loraine scoffed derisively, “Didn’t you use me of ensnaring some wealthy men? Surely, twenty


    thousand dors is nothing much, right?”


    To most residents of this small town, twenty thousand dors could equal a year’s sry, but for


    Loraine, it was as negligible as twenty dors.


    Fuelled by jealousy, Lillie was now convinced that Loraine had indeed enticed some rich men. She


    couldn’t help but wonder why the same fortune hadn’t befallen her – she was attractive as well.


    Taking advantage of Lillie’s momentary distraction, Loraine sneered at her, “Well, suit yourself if you


    refuse to speak.”


    Saying this, she began to pocket the watch.


    Aghast, Lillie blurted out in desperation, “Wait! I’ll talk! Judie is at home, but not in the same ce as


    before. After you left, she and her family moved to a new vi on the finest plot ofnd in the vige!”


    Regaining some of her brash confidence thanks to the perceived affluence of Judie’s family, Lillie


    taunted, “Don’t get too cocky,


    Loraine. Just because you’ve been away for a while doesn’t mean you’ve hit the big time. Judie may be


    faring better than you now!”
