Valerie sneered and commanded, “Alright, next you’ll do exactly as I say. First off, strip him naked!”

Ruth rushed over and started taking off Ethan’s outerwear.

Valerie didn’t care if Ethan’s clothes were clean. She took off her jacket, put on his, and threw hers to Ruth, telling her to put Then, she lied Ethan up.

Ruth was taken aback, eyeing Valerie suspiciously as she tried to figure out what Valerie was planning.

Valerie said coldly, “Hurry up. Unless you want to be knocked out too?!”

on Ethan’s clothes.

Valerie knew she probably seemed like a terrifying demon, but she had no choice. If she didn’t stand her ground, these two wouldn’t give her any way out. So, she thought, they couldn’t blame her for being ruthless.

Ruth trembled, too afraid to speak. She hurriedly helped Elan into her clothes. Grabbing the hemp rope from the comer, Valerie, she secured Ethan tightly. Looking up at Valerie, Ruth stammered, “Is this okay, Valerie L. I didn’t want to. Please, just let me go!”

“Enough with the nonsense! Tape him up and put him in the sack, Valerie ordered.

Ruth glanced at the shovel in her hand and reluctantly did as Valerie said.

By the time she finished, everything had turned upside down. Now it was Ethan ned up instead of Valerie, and Ruth was in a dreadful situation herself. Trembling with fear, she stuttered, “Valerie, what… what are you planning!“

“What am I planning?” Valerie smiled. “That’s a good question. Id like to know what you two were planning to do to me.”

Ruth answered sheepishly. “We just wanted to take you away. And honestly, it was all his idea, I… I didn’t have much of a choice “To put it nicely. they were in cahoots.

Valerie wiped the blood off her face, sneering coldly. “I heard the phone call. He wants to sell me out. I’m just returning the favor. If you don’t want me to kill you, you better listen up. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being harsh.”

“Do you know what to say if the human traffickers show up later? Valerie asked.

With that, Valene moved forward, holding a shovel in her hand, her eyes sharp. The blood on her back and the spattered blood on the shovel lef Ruth utterly terrified. She had never witnessed such a threatening situation before Valerie looked ready to do serious harm, not hesitating to strike Ethan, let alone Ruth.

Ruth nodded frantically. “I get it, I get

it, I get it! Just don’t kill me!”

Valerie narrowed her eyes. She knew Ruth put on a tough front but was actually quite timid inside. Despite her usual fierceness, when push came to shove, she reverted to her village roots and would cower when scared.

As long as Ruth knew how to fear, Valerie could still use her later. Without that, it would be tough for Valerie to act al

alone.

After changing into Ethan’s clothes, Valerie added a hat and mask. She was average height for a woman but shorter than most men. Luckily, she found a pair of worn high–heeled shoes in the comer. Valerie stuffed some straw into the heels to boost her height. It worked well enough to make her appear taller at a glance,

On top of her fever, which made her voice hoarse, she also tried to lower it to sound less feminine.

She grabbed a burlap bag and stuffed Ethan inside, making sure to tie it up securely.

After finishing up, she heard the sound of a car pulling up outside. Valerie knew right away that the human traffickers had arrived.

She hurriedly instructed Ruth, Pull him out. Remember what I told you. Don’t ever think about making a scene to save your life. The worst case, we’ll dir together!”

“Okay, okay, I won’t say a word!” Ruth had never seen Valerie this fierce, She quickly went along with Valerie and pulled him out.

Sure enough, there were human traffickers waiting outside the door. Spotting them dragging a sack, they rushed over to lend a hand and load it into dar car

One of them lifted it and frowned. “Why’s it so heavy!”

Valerie clenched her fists tightly and lowered her voice. “She’s a bit taller, but don’t worry, she’s healthy and strong”

The human trafficker nodded as he checked through the sack. The person inside was indeed warm and healthy. In their line of work, they weren’t picky about merchandise, health mattered most.

He clicked his tongue and asked, “Are you really planning to sell this girl?”

The more nervous Valerie became, the calmer she appeared. She smiled coldly at his question. “Sell her. No point in keeping a troublesome

woman!TM

The human trafficker scratched his chin, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth that made Valerie feel nauseous. “Okay, I’ll take this one, but only 600 dollars, no more. With things being closely watched, it’d be had news if we got cauglur

Valerie was about to speak when the person in the sack suddenly moved. Her heart rightened as she wondered, ‘How did he wake up so quickly!
