Chapter 1042 Her Story
Lena didn’t look at him. She looked at the couple with disgust and said, “If you dare to bother me again, I’ll find someone to break your son’s legs. You cause trouble once, and I will break them once. Let’s see who’s tougher.”
“You!” Blake trembled with anger, pointing at Lena, wishing he could beat her up.
Soon, a van stopped nearby. Five or six burly men rushed over and dragged Blake away.
Blake, who had been shouting just now, turned pale with fear and quickly begged for mercy. “I didn’t do anything! If you want to arrest someone, take my daughter! She’s rich!”
The leader of the burly men sneered at Blake’s coward, “I’ve been doing this for so many years, and you’re the first one I’ve seen who is so spineless, selling out your own daughter…”
“What daughter?! She was the one we picked up! If it weren’t for us, she would have frozen to death! Go catch her! Catch her!” Clare Jenkins, who had been silent until now, also rushed over. She grabbed the leader’s hand and screamed hysterically.
The burly man frowned and glanced at Gideon in secret. Seeing Gideon nod, he dragged the two of them away.
Only when they left did Lena’s tense body finally relax. She turned to Gideon and said, “They’re your people, right? Thank you.”
Gideon unnaturally averted his gaze. He knew that Lena wouldn’t want others to see her in such a pathetic state.
Just as he was about to comfort her, Lena looked at him and said, “Do you want to have a drink together?”
Gideon hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
It was still the same bar, with the same seats. Gideon and Lena sat together once again, holding their glasses of alcohol.
Lena sarcastically told her story.
Clare and Blake lived in an extremely remote mountain village where laws could not bind them, and there were quite a few cases of close relatives getting married.
Just like Blake and Clare, they were originally cousins, but because their families were too poor, no one was willing to marry them. After some discussion, they decided to marry each other.
They paid no attention to the prohibition against close relatives marrying.
The result of this was that Clare gave birth to a son with intellectual disabilities.
Blake and Clare were already poor, and with the addition of a child with special needs, the situation soon worsened.
But even so, they were still scheming to have their son marry and father a child as soon as possible. Of course, no one in their village was willing to marry their son, so they had to look for potential targets outside the mountains.
And they were lucky enough to find a small baby girl when Blake was out one day.
That baby girl was Lena.
Blake originally planned to sell Lena, but Clare stopped him.
Lena was just a girl and was valueless. Even if they sold her, the money wouldn’t be enough for their mentally disabled son to get a wife. They thought raising Lena and letting her marry their son when she grew up would be better.
After all, an orphan was easy to control.
So, the couple agreed on this plan.
