Chapter 320

The large villa was quiet and empty. Melanie prepared some pasta for herself and then returned to the

bedroom.

The moment she arrived in the bedroom, the phone rang. Melanie thought it was Eugene calling her

and did not expect it to be an unfamiliar number.

She frowned before pressing the answer button. There was a rustling sound on the other end of the call

before a child’s voice was heard. It sounded timid. “Melanie.”

Melanie recognized Peachie’s voice. She subconsciously sensed that something was wrong and asked

softly, “Why did you call me?”

“I’m scared, Melanie. I’m so scared,” Peachie replied. She was crying when she spoke as if she was

really scared.

Melanie’s eyebrows furrowed even more tightly, and her voice became darker. “Where’s your mother?”

“Mom and Dad are fighting. Dad wants to sell me. Mom hid me at Aunt’s house.” Peachie’s voice was

filled with endless fear as she said, “Melanie, I don’t want to be sold. I don’t want to be someone’s

wife.”

Melanie’s heart trembled. Dylan did say before that if she did not get the 500,000 dollars, George

would sell Peachie.

She asked Theodore to look into it, and when she learned that the girl was staying in the hospital, she

did not give Dylan the money. She did not expect George to actually be so cruel. Peachie was his

biological daughter!

Melanie closed her eyes and calmed herself before comforting Peachie, “Don’t be afraid. You’re at your

aunt’s house now, right? Then protect yourself.”

“Will you come to take me away?” Melanie heard Peachie say eagerly before the call ended.

Melanie actually felt herself shudder a little, but she still did not transfer money to Dylan right away.

Instead, she called Theodore.

Melanie sat on the bed, her eyes dry. Peachie’s childish voice kept ringing in her mind, asking her if

she would take her away. However, she could also see Dylan’s greedy face.

The images swirled in her mind until her temples throbbed.

Her phone suddenly rang, and Melanie looked over. Theodore was calling.

She stiffly moved to answer the phone, and the man’s voice sounded. “George has indeed been

borrowing money, and now, those people are looking for him to have it returned. They’re all hooligans.

It might be true that they’re trying to take your sister away.‘

Melanie could not help the sharpness in her raised voice. “How dare they?!”

Did George not know what his actions looked like? Did he really not fear the retribution of selling his

own daughter?

Theodore said, “Some people have no morals when it comes to money. What’s more, there should be

a bigger gang behind this group.”

After saying that, he added hesitantly, “You can look for Eugene about this. He’s been asking me to

keep an eye on George, and just now-”

Halfway through, he remembered what the man said and shut up before ending the call.

He had gone to Eugene before calling Melanie. Eugene was already aware of all this. What Theodore

did not understand was why he wanted him to hide it from Melanie.

In Hearth City, Dylan was hugging Peachie as they hid in a public phone booth. Her arms were around

the girl, her lips abnormally white. Her face was full of wounds, and her clothes were torn and messy.

“Peachie, Mommy will not let you get sold. No, Mommy will not let you get hurt even if she has to fight

him with her life,” she whispered.
