Chapter 57 That’s Only the Beginning, Eileen

Five people came out of the car, and Eileen instinctively put her hands on the ground, retreating in fear

while casting them disgusted glares.

“What…what do you want…” she stammered, her voice trembling with apprehension.

“No…stay away!” Eileen pleaded, hoping her words would deter them.

“I can give you money, all the money you want,” she offered, hoping it would buy her way out of the

situation.

Thomas, wearing a lecherous smile, advanced towards Eileen, tauntingly remarking, “I almost broke

my bones chasing after you…Now I see where you were trying to go…”

His companions joined in, making crude suggestions, “Let’s take her straight to our place and have

some fun with all five of us!”

“That’s right! Last time, I wanted to have my way with this girl. She’s not worth much more than the

women who sell themselves for a few dollars on the streets. I bet it won’t take more than three days to

break her spirit completely. From now on, she’ll serve us and even bear us some children.”

Eileen managed to stand on trembling legs and bravely spoke, “You guys are breaking the law, do you

know that!”

Their response was wild laughter, filled with disdainful sarcasm, “Breaking the law? Do you even know

where you are? Here, we are the law.

“This is madness…you are all crazy…”

The thought of falling into their hands terrified her. She could not bear the idea of experiencing the

tragedy of her previous life again.

Her cries and screams echoed in the empty warehouse, while the faces of those men seemed like

demons, haunting her like a never-ending nightmare.

She desperately did not want this to happen again

In the dark, a black car was parked in the nearby parking lot. The man inside the car wore a Blueworth,

headset and reported. ‘Mr Snow Ivesent the picture

“Don’t rush, I’ll handle it. Follow them closely!”

The wiper lever moved back and forth, making a creaking sound. On the car’s display screen, a dim

video showed a group of tall men bullying a defenseless eighteen-year-old girl.

Eric watched the surveillance footage thoughtfully, his eyes filled with darkness.

Eileen, you were so eager to escape from the Swan family, but now you see the consequences…

Sometimes the wrong decision leads to a heavy price.

You’re a princess, don’t you know that this world can be filthy and cruel. Wouldn’t it be better to stay

sheltered in the greenhouse?

Eileen, all of this is only the beginning!

In the video, Eileen was struggling with the men, her coat torn to shreds and she was covered in mud!

Her eyes reflected despair, yet she still fought back even though she was overpowered.

It seemed like they were toying with a helpless kitten. Eileen bore numerous bruises on her body.

When she fell to the ground, one man grabbed her face and forcibly pulled her into the car.

In her desperation, Eileen grabbed a stone and hurled it at her assailant with all her might.

A deafening thud resonated through the air.

Seizing the moment, Eileen quickly got up from the ground and fled…

“No, she ran off!”

“Hurry up and chase her!”

A group of people sought shelter from the rain under the caves, and Elm, wearing a black jacket,

covered his head to shield himself from the downpour.

Vere stood beside him and noticed his black short-sleeved shirt, “Aren’t you cold? You should wear this

jacket instead”

Tim replied Im not cold, just wear it

Jasmine stood beside Vera rubbing her an Ayoutwo togedier nu Progress seems

Vera blushed and said, “Don’t talk nonsense, we’re just friends.”

“That’s it? Just friends? Don’t pretend!” Paola teased, rolling his eyes.

Taylor chimed in, “What terrible weather! It starts raining as soon as we gather. It’s like the heavens

have no respect for us.”

Paola retorted, “Respect? Who do you think you are? Do you expect the heavens to show respect to

you? Aren’t you afraid of getting struck down?”

Their banter continued, and they laughed together.

Amidst the chatter, someone suddenly heard a cry for help.

“Did you guys hear that? Someone is calling for help!”

“Nah, you must have misheard something.”

“No, I swear I heard it too! Someone is really calling for help, and there are several other voices as

well.”

Elm narrowed his eyes, listening carefully. The faint voice of a woman calling for help. echoed in the

back alley, accompanied by several male voices.

“Help! Is there anyone…”

“Stupid girl, where do you think you’re running off to!”

Taylor recognized the voices and said, “I’m telling you, that’s Thomas and his gang. Once you hear it,

you know they’re forcing some poor woman again.”

“Paola, do you hear that woman’s voice? She just arrived not long ago and talked back to them.”

Paola replied, “I can tell that Thomas is a despicable person, not worth anything. That young girl had

just turned 18… Elm, should we go and check it out?”

Elm nonchalantly took out a cigarette from his pocket, sniffed it between his nose, and said. “Since

when did you guys become so interested in meddling with people’s business?”

Vera hesitated, “Elm, I thought I heard Eileen’s voice. Is she…. here too?”

Fim glanced at her, his lips curling. It’s none of your concern, Paola. You stay here, Tavlor and I will buy

an umbrella. The rain seems like ‘ll continue for a while, don’t catch a cold going back

With that, Elm left my the rain, and Taylor and hired and green hat followed unt

As they walked, they realized they were going the wrong way.

“Elm, the convenience store is over there, we’re going the wrong way.”

On that rainy night, Elm’s eyes turned red, “One more word, and I’ll stuff the umbrella in your mouth

when we get back.”

The three of them exchanged glances and followed behind obediently without saying anything more.

Elm exclaimed, “Elm, look quickly, that young girl is up there.”

Elm followed his gaze and saw that the rain showed no sign of stopping. The lighting here and all they

could see was the dark and turbulent sea with huge waves crashing, and Eileen standing in a high

place with no escape.

was poor,

She was being forced back, and there were reefs beneath her feet. If she fell and was swept away by

the waves, there was no chance of survival…

“Mr. Snow, this is bad. Ms. Swan is forced to the edge of the sea and might jump in.”

At that moment, on a bridge overlooking the sea, a black Audi with its high beams on was observing

the scene below.

“Lionel, do you think… will she dare to jump, or not?”

Lionel, his loyal subordinate, replied, “I’m not sure. But… if we don’t do anything, something bad might

happen to Ms. Swan.”

Soft music played in the car, teasing lightly, while fingers tapped on the steering wheel.
