Howeverâ¦
She observed Mandy fervently arguing with Jacob.
Perhaps⦠the previous Mandy was merely playing a role.
Meanwhile, Lennon and Lucy had finished preparing the table for their meal.
Once Cherise arrived at the table, Mandy presented a dish as if it were a precious treasure. âLook at
this. I spent the entire morning cooking this chicken!â
âLucy said itâs delicious! She even said itâs better than the ones at New World Restaurant!â
Cherise looked at the dish Mandy was pointing at. It was a plate of perfectly roasted. chicken thighs.
After spending the entire morning on the plane, she was hungry.
As she reached for the chicken thighs, Lucy suddenly slapped her hand. âGo wash your hands!â
âOhâ¦â
Cherise glanced longingly at the food before turning to Lucy. Then, she turned around. and left to wash
her hands.
Once she returned, everyone was already seated at the table.
Mandy accepted a bottle of medicine from Damien with trembling hands. Her face was. flushed with
excitement. âAre you sayingâ¦â
âIâll be free in three days?â
Damien nodded. âSomething like that.â
He then poured a glass of water for Cherise before continuing, âIâve arranged a flight for you in three
days. Youâll be going to Europe to work as a maid for the Tanner family for at
year.
Mandyâs trembling body suddenly froze. She stared at Damien. âIâll be working⦠as at maid?â
âCorrect.

Damien narrowed his eyes. âThe Tanner family developed the chip in your brain. They also created the
medicine youâre taking.â
âIâm sending you there because the researchers in the Tanner family want to observe your condition.â
âFurthermore, my sister is relentless.â
âYouâve disrupted the schemes she had been implementing for years. Once she becomes angry, sheâll
send people to capture you by any means necessary.â
âThe Tanner family residence is heavily guarded. Once you join the Tanner family, no one can harm
you, even if youâre just a maid.â
Then, he looked at Mandyâs pale expression. âFreedom comes at a price.â
âI imagine being a maid for the Tanner family is a reprieve compared to what you ve endured for the
past nineteen years.â
Mandy clenched her teeth. After a while, she softly began, âWhat about my father and brotherâ¦â
âWhy do you still care about them at this point?â
Lucy couldnât bear to see her so indecisive. âThey treated you as a tool. Did they ever consider your
feelings?â
âFurthermore, if you care about their feelings, why did you escape?â
âFor you to suddenly worry about your father and brother now, do you truly care about. them that
much?â
Mandy tightly gripped the bottle of medicine. âIâ¦.â
She raised her head and pleaded with Damien. âCan I go home⦠to retrieve what my mother left for
me?â
Damien frowned but eventually nodded. âSure.â
âThank you.â
Mandy looked down and sniffled. She drank a third of the medicine in the bottle.
âTo be honest⦠I donât care about my father or brother.â
âSince I was young, my mother was the only one who was kind to me.â

âUnfortunatelyâ¦â
Mandy smiled bitterly. Tears streamed down her face. âI miss her a lot.â
Her tears moved everyoneâs hearts.
Lucy put down her fork.
She smiled bitterly. âTo be honest, youâre much stronger than I am.â
She looked into Mandyâs bloodshot eyes and felt a tinge of sadness. âAt least you have fond memories
of your mother.â
