She was just a ten-year-old child, so how could she understand the intentions and the world of adults? From Eira's understanding, it was just being beaten by Aunt Joy, or if worse comes to worst, she just had to be on all fours in the Steven family's yard and learn to bark like a dog. Other than that, she could be asked to kneel on the floor for Brooke to ride her like a horse and let the entire Stevens family to call her a little beggar. It was fine! It did not matter! Eira could endure it as long as she was not sent to prison. She did not want to be imprisoned. She was not scared out of wits for herself, but for her mother. If she were to be imprisoned, the neighbors certainly would scold her mother even more. They would say that her mother did not teach her daughter well, her daughter was a thief and so on. If that was the case, her mother's crazy condition certainly would worsen. If she was imprisoned, then who would be the one to take care of her mother? Just her brother alone? He
"Don’t! Don’t come over. Don’t snatch my dad away from me… Dad, save me. Dad, Mom, quickly come save me. This little beggar is the devil. She wants to snatch my dad and mom away…"The child helplessly cried and shouted while she was unconscious. Delmont and Joy were deeply heartbroken when they saw that. Joy even immediately wanted to kill Eira! Both the couple did not know what happened. After Brooke was given sedatives to let her sleep quietly, the couple went home to check on the surveillance.It did not matter if she had not seen the surveillance, but after she had seen it, Joy simply went crazy. She pointed at Delmont and cursed. "Delmont Stevens, you b*stard son of a b*tch! This is your daughter! Your good daughter! They say it's hard to prevent a thief in the family, and that is true! Your daughter is not just a thief in the family. She simply is here to ruin our family! She wanted to murder my daughter! Murder!"Speaking of that, Joy went up to Delmont to hit him. "We've bee
Delmont and Joy had never expected that Eira would refuse. The couple glared at Eira together.Eira's face turned even redder. "I…I still haven’t turned sixteen."She was still a few years shy of turning sixteen years old. She was just a child, how could they let her do such a thing? No! They could ask her to do anything. She could accept having asked to bark like a dog, meow like a cat, be beaten, cursed and chained. However, she absolutely could not agree with what her Aunt Joy had said."I won't go!" Eira retreated in incomparably fear.She was already in her early adolescence. She was no longer ignorant about everything. Once she thought of that kind of scenario, she felt that that certainly was an abyss. That made her more terrified than being imprisoned and being sentenced to death. Therefore, she certainly could not go."Won’t go?" Joy sneered. "Go ahead and retreat all you want. Run back home."Eira was speechless."Eira, there are surveillances everywhere inside the Ste
Eira was at the point where she would not even cry anymore. Her mind was completely blank as she followed Joy into Delmont's car. Her father's car was really luxurious and the seats were so soft. However, at that moment, Eira no longer had the mood to experience all that. She felt that her heart had died.Joy was very generous that day. She bought Eira the prettiest and most fashionable princess dress and also a pair of leather boots, and she even let Eira wear a pink wool sweater that looked very cute. Eira, who was freshly dolled up, looked very pretty. She was as pretty as her sister, Brooke. She even had more of a lovable feeling compared to Brooke. Even Joy was stunned by her, let alone others. Just for one moment, Joy actually also felt torn, but it was only for a moment. A voice deep inside Joy told her that this vicious little devil did not deserve her sympathy. Her daughter was almost killed and her house was almost ransacked by this little devil. Therefore, to let this littl
Eira was on the bed and almost all of her clothes had been stripped off. One of her teeth was knocked off and it fell on the bed. Her arms were twisted and pinched to the point that they were covered in bruises. Eira was already in such a panic that was beyond words. She did not even react when she heard her brother calling her name. That was because she thought that it was a dream. When Malvolio saw her like that, he felt immensely heartbroken. He took a step forward and put his sister in his arms. He took off his jacket and wrapped it around his sister. Then, he asked her to stand outside the bedroom."Eira, listen to me, don’t be afraid no matter what you see. Do you understand?" said Malvolio.Eira shook her head. "Malvolio, don't. If I don’t do as they said today, then they will expose me. I…Malvolio, I'm sorry. I have stolen…Delmont's things. It was my fault, Malvolio…"Eira did not know how to cry anymore. She just shook her head like mad, and then she wanted to enter the bed
Although he was only eighteen years old, he was not a fool. He had worked at a restaurant during that period, so he knew all about surveillance and he even knew where the wires were. When he had just entered the door, he had already severed all the surveillance wires with his knife. He had been wearing gloves when he was touching the windows and everywhere else. He was not trying to avoid detection. He just thought that he could buy himself a few more days to get his mother and sister settled down. He would turn himself in. Of course, before he turned himself in, he had to find a way to get that mansion under Delmont's name to be transferred to his sister and have it under her name instead. After all, his sister should have a share of Delmont's properties, to begin with!His sister was still muttering softly like a mentally disturbed person. "Malvolio, it’s my fault. Delmont and Joy had repeatedly told me not to let Brooke know that I am also Delmont's daughter. However, I was the one
Nobody expected that a young man holding a long knife would just waltz in like that. As he had been working to support his family since middle school and had often used his weekends to work hard labor such as carrying heavy bags, the eighteen-year-old Malvolio was stronger than his average peers. He looked at the incomparably happy family of three in the living room with a murderous expression. The family of three, on the other hand, looked at this uninvited guest with panic expressions."You…who are you? How did you come in? Quick, call the police…" Joy's voice was stuck at the throat and she could not make a sound at all.Delmont also subconsciously protected his daughter and his wife behind him and stuttered. "You…don’t act recklessly. You're breaking the law. You will…you will have to go to prison. Don't be reckless...""Breaking the law?" Malvolio sneered. "I'm sorry. I have already committed something punishable by death. I have already severed the head of that old man, Qualls
Before Brooke could react, Malvolio picked her up again. A knife was then placed against her neck."Don’t even say anything!" Malvolio looked at all three of them."No police! We absolutely won't call the police. I'm begging you to let the child go. She is innocent. Alright?" asked Joy with a voice as soft as the buzzing of a mosquito."Don’t worry!" said Malvolio miserably. "I have a sister myself. Of course, I know that the child is innocent. I just didn't want her to see a miserable scene. Listen up, you two. If you dare to move even a little, you will never be able to see your child again! Now, hand me your phones!" Malvolio did that in a calm and composed manner.Both Delmont and Joy obediently tossed their phones to Malvolio. Malvolio then carried the child upstairs. He put Brooke in her own room and let her put on earplugs."Be good. Don’t take the earplugs off. Otherwise, I will kill you!" said Malvolio.After Malvolio let Brooke settle down, he turned around and walked o
