Chapter 1647


    Mr. Kane Got cklisted Chapter 1647 [Eleven Jewell]


    Arthur did not know how to write and could notpose a letter. Hence, he lost touch with Evelyn after


    three years.


    He had initially assumed that she would have already wed upon his return. To his surprise, the person he


    had longed for was still waiting for him at home.


    Although they hadn’t seen each other in years, their reunion was natural, as if they had never been


    apart. They quickly confirmed their rtionship after that.


    Arthur hired a matchmaker to formalize their union, and they soon set a date for the wedding.


    The couple were engrossed in the preparations for their new life together, eagerly anticipating their


    future. Little did they know, tragedy was on the horizon.


    A series of gruesome murders began guing the town. The perpetrator targeted young women,


    committing heinous acts before taking their lives.


    In just six months, four lives were brutally taken, causing the people to panic.


    Women were afraid to venture out alone.


    At the time, Evelyn was employed at a textile factory. Arthur would see her off and pick her up daily.


    As their wedding approached, Evelyn’s family suddenly changed their minds, demanding arger dowry.


    It turned out that Evelyn’s younger brother had fancied a girl from a prominent family whose dowry


    demands were unreasonably high. The Thornfield family could not muster the required funds, so they


    came up with this n.


    Evelyn was deeply embarrassed and enraged by her family’s actions. Despite her usual gentle


    demeanor, she had a massive fight with her family about it.


    However, in those days, women had little say in their own marriages.


    Should Arthur refuse, the Thornfields would swiftly arrange another marriage for their daughter. They


    were convinced that they would eventually find someone who would be willing to foot the bill.


    Arthur was equally upset but had no choice but to give in. He could not stand to see the Thornfield family


    forcing Evelyn into such an unwanted situation.


    But he had just set up a new home and had very little money left. Even with assistance from rtives


    and friends, he was stillcking financially.


    Back then, the county was home to a coal mine. The machinery in that era was not as advanced as what


    they had today. Miners had to manually extract the coal without proper protective gear, hauling it up sack


    by sack. It was a physically demanding and dangerous job.


    Nheless, the pay was significant. Arthur coulde up with the remaining funds for the dowry with


    only one month ofbor. Besides, he possessed great stamina at the tender age of twenty, Despite his


    demanding schedule, Arthur still waited for Evelyn at the entrance of the textile factory every time she


    got off work.


    Until one day, a heavy rain came. The downpour caused the mine entrance to copse. It took the


    miners a considerable amount of time to work together and dig their way out of the coal mine.


    When Arthur got out, he changed into dry clothes and hurried to pick up Evelyn.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    The skies were dark. Upon his arrival, he found the factory gate securely locked, and Evelyn was


    nowhere in sight.


    Arthur was worried, so he went to Evelyn’s house. However, she was not there.


    Her co-workers said she waited at the gate for half an hour and left, saying she would look for him at the


    mine.


    But the people at the mine hadn’t seen Evelyn.


    Arthur had a bad feeling about this. He called a few of his formerrades from the military and set out


    along the road from the textile factory to the coal mine to search for Evelyn.


    One of hisrades heard some noise while passing through a farnd stretch. He called out, “Who’s


    there?” Suddenly, a figure jumped up and ran away in a panic.


    As the man approached the area where the figure jumped out, his face changed instantly.


    Something dreadful had happened to Evelyn.


    Arthur rushed over and saw that she was naked from the waist down, with a rope tightly wound around


    her neck.


    Fortunately, they discovered her in time, still clinging to life. The men quickly sent her to the hospital.


    Evelyn stood as the sole survivor of the string of horrifying assaults and murders. The police swiftly


    arrived to get a statement.


    After the doctors checked out Evelyn, she identified her assant.
