Chapter 2


    An hourter, the bus came to a slow halt at the corner of Cedarbrook Street.


    Marguerite Lockwood stepped off, her body aching all over. All she could see was a sight for sore eyes,


    broken bricks and tiles, thendscape looking deste.

    She walked down the alley, standing in front of the undamaged, conspicuous house, that was her


    home, and also a private casino.


    This once bustling ce had be quiet due to demolition and gambling debts.


    The decline of the family didn’t make her feel too much regret, because she had a more important task


    to aplish.


    Marguerite took a deep breath, walked into the front door with traces on her body, and stood in the


    living room.


    “Dad, Mom, I spent the night with Hanley as you requested. Can you help Granny and save her life?”


    she asked.


    Standing in front of her were her biological parents, but she had nothing but hatred for them.


    Twenty–two years ago, Marguerite was born with her twin sister, Yuna Lockwood.


    She came out four minutester than Yuna, but it was precisely these four minutes that a so–called


    fortune teller said her existence was ipatible with everyone in the family.


    Therefore, Marguerite was sent to her grandmother’s house in the countryside by her parents less than


    a day after she was born, and they didn’t even register her birth.


    But now, her grandmother was seriously ill, and she had nowhere to turn for help, so she had toe


    back for her parents‘ help.


    While drinking water, her mother Zoe heard the news, stood up and sshed the water in the cup on


    Marguerite’s face, pointed at her, and said angrily, “Marguerite, you have the nerve toe back! I


    asked you to apany Mr. Hanley, not to sleep with other men! Because of you, our family is


    bankrupt! What should we use to pay back these hefty gambling debts? You shameless bitch!”


    As she spoke, Zoe pped Marguerite again.


    Marguerite was toote to dodge and was hit by this p, her head was dizzy, touching her swollen


    face, she was stunned for a while.


    Didn’t she apany Hanleyst night? Then who was the manst night?


    “Dad, Mom,e out! Hanley is here! Mr. Hanley, let me go, this has nothing to do with me! It was all


    Marguerite’s idea! You should go after her…. Suddenly, her sister Yuna’s cry came from outside.


    Marguerite instinctively turned back and saw the big–bellied old man in the front hall dragging Yuna


    angrily.


    She frowned. Is this Hanley?


    Marguerite felt a little flustered, and was suddenly pushed from behind, she wobbled and stopped in


    front of Hanley.


    The pleasing voice of her father, Ablett Lockwood, came immediately, “Mr. Hanley, please don’t be


    mad. You got it wrong, this is the woman who should have been with youst night, not Yuna!”


    Hanley looked at the two sisters who looked exactly the same, his eyes immediately lit up with interest.


    “I don’t care! I waited all nightst night, and no one showed up! Your family owes me 10 million, if you


    don’t have money, sell your two daughters


    to me!”


    As he said, he pulled Marguerite over as well.


    “Hanley, Marguerite and Yuna look very simr, so you don’t need to have both. You can take


    Marguerite, but can you spare Yuna? She is our most beloved daughter! Please spare her!”


    Zoe almost knelt in front of Hanley to beg for mercy.


    Marguerite couldn’t recover from the shock, she suddenly felt like a joke.


    Yuna is their daughter, what about her?


    Facing these two people who were eager to use her as a chip to pay off their debts, she could hardly


    believe they were her biological parents. How could they say such things?


    Love, it seems not worth mentioning to them!


    What they really cared about was her twin sister, Yuna!


    Looking at the nauseating fat man in front of her, Marguerite could hardly bear it.


    She didn’t want to be sold to such a person as amodity!


    At this moment, she could only save herself!


    Marguerite wiped the tears from her face, gathered up the courage to break free from Hanley’s arm,


    and turned and ran.


    “Marguerite,e back! Don’t make me clean up the mess for you! Bitch!”


    Yuna shouted at Marguerite’s back, afraid that without Marguerite, she would be the unfortunate


    one serving Hanley, so she chased after


    her


    Meanwhile, a high end Cullinan car had slowly driven into the corner of Cedarbrook Street.


    Chuck quickly pulled out a surveince screenshot and handed it in front of Frederick, “Mr. Winston,


    this is the surveince screenshot just sent by the hotel. The girl you are looking for should be her.”


    Frederick lowered his head to look at the screen, the girl in the screenshot had a beautiful face, big


    eyes, and looked a bit flustered.


    Her hair was not long, only to the corbone, but it revealed an attractive neck


    Fifteen years had passed, and this little girl was exactly like the erged version in his childhood


    memory.


    “Mr. Winston, do you need me to order a citywide search for her?”


    Chuck asked, the Cullinan car was driving into a dpidated alley and stopped in front of a gambling


    den that was about to be demolished.


    A petite woman hurriedly escaped from the door, Frederick’s gaze involuntarily fell on the woman, his


    eyes full of joy.


    “Mr. Winston?”


    “No need.”


    “Huh?”


    “I found her.”


    Frederick got out of the car and strode towards the woman with a full of momentum.
