I frowned slightly and asked, ‘Why did you think of working in the Imperial Hotel?"

She lowered her head and explained. “I came here alone. All I can do was to fill up my stomach so I

can live. I've said it before. Some children who came to the city in the past returned, but some didn't.

For those who didn't, they were either dead or became the toys of the customers in Imperial Hotel. I

wanted to live, so I had no other choice.”

I asked, “What is the name of your friend? How old is he?" How depressing... Could it be that Armond

forces them to work in the Imperial Hotel?

The girl said, “He is Jody. Jody was brought to the city at fourteen, as a wealthy family wanted to adopt

him. But after meeting him, they felt he was too old, so they refused to take him.”

“Does he not have relatives in the village?" I furrowed my brows in confusion. Aren't boys precious in

villages? Why is he sent here?

Ann kept her head hung low. “He was sent to the village since he was young. After he grew up, Mr.

Dumphy took him back to the city.

Most of the girls working in the Imperial Hotel were from the orphanage, following Mr. Dumphy and his

men.”

I was puzzled. Why is the orphanage involved in this?

I looked at the girl and asked. “So you're asking me to help you look for Jody?"

She nodded. “Jody said that there were many illegal activities in the nightclub, so he wanted to quit the

job. I went to look for him, but I couldn't find him anywhere. He must be trapped because he knew

many things about Mr. Dumphy and his men. They'll torture him. Please, Ms. Stovall. I beg you. Save

him.”

The girl was putting her hands together and begging me for help, but I didn't promise her. I glanced at

Joseph bringing Dillan, who was on the verge of death into the room, and smirked. “It seems I have

some work to do.”

Seeing how I didn't give her a response, Ann tugged on the hem of my shirt and started sobbing. “Ms.

Stovall, please save him. If he's locked up by them, he'll die. Please, save him.”

I furrowed my brows, as I was slowly getting impatient. Lifting my gaze at Ashton, I said, “Ann, have

you heard of the law of conservation of mass? Saving your friend doesn't benefit me at all, so stop

wasting your time on me.”

Her eyes were reddened as she opened her mouth, wanting to say something. However, I didn't spare

her any glance and walked toward Dillan. Looking at the pathetic man in front of me, I smirked. “I had

always been nice to others, and I tried to help those in need.

However, I figured that not only was my kindness useless, it got me into trouble as well. I was finally

pregnant, but you took my baby away from me. All these days, I had been thinking of how to torture

you to vent my anger."

Dillan looked at me with his fear-filled eyes. “Ms. Stovall, I didn't know you're pregnant. I didn't know

you're Mr. Fuller's wife. I'm sorry.

Please let me go.”

“Haha!" I laughed out loud and raised a brow at him. “Let you go?”

People mustn't be too kind. I learned this after going through all sorts of ups and downs. I looked at him

and grinned widely. “Dillan, do you know how it feels to lose the most important thing in your life?”

He shook his head and kept on begging me for mercy. I rolled my eyes as I was reluctant to hear the

man's ongoing pleads.

Suddenly, I received a message from Boris. After replying to the message, I turned to Dillan. He was

nowhere pitiful in my eyes, as he had to pay for his sins.

About five minutes later, Boris brought a woman into the room. There was a slight bulge in the woman's

belly, so I figured she was five or six months pregnant.

When the man saw the woman, he struggled and yelled, “Why are you here? Go back home!”

The woman was startled by his loud yells. Scanning her surroundings, she looked at Dillan in fear and

was at a loss. “Dear, what's wrong? What happened? Why are you...”

Suddenly, Dillan glared at me with anger and wore a serious expression. “What are you thinking of

doing?"

I felt exhausted to explain everything to him, so I sat on the chair and looked at him coldly. “Your wife

should experience what I went through. Besides. I'll give you the chance to experience the pain of

losing your unborn child, which you waited expectantly. What do you think?”

The man widened his eyes at me and growled, “No! You guys can't do this. This is illegal. You can't do

this.”
