Chapter 980:
Kellan narrowed his eyes. âWhy? Is there a problem with parking there?â
âOh, no, no problem at all!â The man quickly flashed a big smile. âI just didnât expect such important guests to visit our village. I wanted to make sure you got a proper welcome.â
Whispers began to spread among the people nearby.
âI heard that car costs over ten million!â
âNot every day you see someone this rich come to our village.â
âDo you think the Hayes family went into trouble again?â
Hearing the whispers, Amyaâs parents exchanged a glance, their eyes lighting up.
Was that car worth ten million?
Troy, who had been so full of himself just moments before, suddenly changed. He forced a big smile.
âIâm so sorry! There must have been some misunderstanding earlier!â he said quickly.
He grabbed Mindy and nudged her. âWeâre really sorry about that. Please donât take it the wrong way.â
But Allison didnât respond to him. She went straight to the point. âWho did you sell Amya to?â

Her words shocked the crowd into silence.
Troy broke into a cold sweat and quickly denied it. âSell our daughter? Weâre good people â we would never do something like that!â
âIf you want to know more about Amya, just ask,â Troy said, wearing a fake, flattering grin. âCome on in. Itâs too windy out here. Letâs go inside and talk.â
Mindy quickly crouched down and opened the door, her smile eager and fake.
âEverything that happened earlier was just a misunderstanding,â she said. âItâs too crowded out here. Letâs move inside to talk.â
As she spoke, she shot a sharp, irritated look at the crowd of villagers. âGo on now. Stop staring and mind your business. These two are our guests!â she snapped.
Allison could see through their shallow act.
Still, she needed information, so she and Kellan followed them into the yard.
Outside, the villagers remained where they were. They stretched their necks to catch a glimpse, murmuring quietly to each other.
âThe Hayes family sure knows the right people, rubbing shoulders with all these rich folks,â someone remarked.
âWho wouldâve guessed their daughter would end up working for such a big company?â another added.
âDidnât you hear? They gambled once more and even sold their own daughter!â came the shocked reply.
Inside the house, Troyâs face brightened, clearly pleased with himself. He eyed Allison with a mix of interest and greed.
