(Julie’s P.OV.]
It was not easy to arrange a meeting with Richard. The quickest way to meet him was to pay him a visit. I randomly picked some tea leaves and brought them to Richard’s house.
Richard’s manor was much grander than my own. The main house he had was like a huge medieval castle. After many trials and tribulations, it still stood tall. The other small buildings guarded the main house and were scattered in different locations. There were not many decorations in the vast
courtyard. It perfectly displayed the beauty of the simplicity of the main road.
If the mistress lived in such a place, her life would be lavished with luxury.
Thad clearly arranged such a good marriage plan for the little sl*t, but the little sl*t did not appreciate it and chose to run away.
The sl*t just did not know what was good for her!
After handing over the visiting card, the servant guarding the main door obediently reported the news of my arrival to Richard. I waited for a while before the car was allowed to pass through the iron gates and drove to the top of the hill where the castle stood tall.
‘The back garden of Richard’s house was an entire mountain. It was beautifully decorated, luxurious, and grand.
The scenery of the back mountain was completely different from the front garden. The beauty of the front garden was simple, just like a simple painting. With just a few strokes, the shape was outlined. The back mountain was different. There were exquisite statues and elegant fountains. Each and every
landscape were accompanied by its corresponding plants. All kinds of flowers were blooming, reflecting the luscious trees and flowers planted on the mountain. It was a sight to behold.
Just one property had such a scale in terms of decoration. Back in the day, every family had to rack their brains to send their daughters wed into such households. They had hoped that their daughter would be pampered in one fell swoop and use Richard’s money to help the family.
However, no one knew that Richard was a pervert. Not only did he not give a single cent, but he also took pleasure in killing women. He did not even let go of the legitimate wife he had married. If it were not for the family’s lack of money, I would not have come to such a terrible person.
‘When I arrived, Richard was playing golf. There were many naked women around him.
Most of these women were poor women or foreigners who had been smuggled into the country. If Richard got bored with them, they would either die or be disabled.
Richard took his time playing golf. I did not expect to be met with such a disgusting sight.
He lined up the s*x slaves, laid them down on the ground, and placed the ball in the woman’s cleavage.
Richard was in his sixties, and his eyes and his body were weak. He hit the ball, and it did not go very far. The s*x slaves who held the ball were either hit in the head or in the chest, but this made Richard even more excited. I stood aside and looked away, but I could still hear the screams of those women
in my ears.
As a woman, I admit that I had a moment of pity for the women here, just for a second. So what? Anna was my only daughter. I will only care about Anna’s safety. The Marcus family was in danger. I had raised that little sl*t for so many years, and she was also a member of the Marcus family. She should
stand up and repay me for my kindness.
After a long time, Richard finally ended the abuse. How the s*x slaves suffered heavy casualties had nothing to do with me. All I wanted was to raise funds for my family.
Richard took the club and came in front of me. I could not help but take a step back in fear. I was really afraid that he would swing the club at me.
However, he seemed to have had enough fun and looked like he did not want to play anymore. He just asked me excitedly, “I heard that you are going to marry your daughter to me?”
“That’s right.” I forced myself to smile, but I found it a challenge to do so. I could not help but ask, “You know about…”
I did not finish my sentence, but I knew that Richard definitely understood what I meant.
He laughed maniacally, which made my hair stand on end. He continued, “I naturally treat my wife differently from others. How can I treat her like those lowly slaves?”
After hearing his explanation, not only did my heart not relax, it became even tenser. However, the Marcus family was in imminent danger. I had to do something about it before we fell.
“My daughter is my most precious treasure. If you want me to marry her to you, I have to see your sincerity.”
He narrowed his eyes and instantly understood what I meant. “What do you want?”
“Five million. If the betrothal gift is less than that, don’t even think about having her.”
Previously, the price was 1.5 million. At that time, it was related to Anna, so I directly rejected it. However, now that the Marcus family was in a deep debt crisis, I had to think of a way to ask for more money. Only when the price was exorbitant would there be room for negotiation.
“Five million is too much.” Richard furrowed his brows, causing his bald head to be covered in wrinkles, “I remember the last time we spoke, your family’s young lady was only worth one point five million. It’s not like I have to have your family’s young lady. If you don’t want to sell her, then forget it.”
Although this was the truth, bringing up selling my daughter to the public still made me feel uncomfortable. However, I had a family to care for. Marcus had not returned home for a month in order to raise money. I had to help him in any way I can.
“The family head doesn’t know about this. My daughter has been attending bridal classes recently. She has learned all kinds of tricks from ancient to modern times. Even the teacher said that she’s the most talented woman she’s met.”
“Oh, is that so?”
