If she had lost it under normal circumstances, she could have just gotten it replaced, but not in this situation. However, she could not do anything without her identity card, and she did not want to go back to the Jent residence.Madelyn had never had much patience for Wonda and usually just turned a blind eye toward her, which was much better than Wonda deserved in her eyes.If she still had her old temper, Madelyn would have shoved the trash can over Wonda's head by now."Wonda, I have my mother's photo in that purse, and it's very important to me. Also, there are important documents inside... If you want money, I can give it to you. Everything else in there is useless to you, can you just return it to me?"Wonda kicked the trash can aside, and its contents spilled out. She snapped, "What's the meaning of this, Madelyn? What does your missing purse have to do with me!? I didn't take your wallet, so what are you accusing me for? If you don't believe me, then make a police report!

"Let me go, you bastard! My father won't let you live if you lay your hands on me!"Rogan let out a contemptuous laugh. "Your father? He's worthless, and he'll need to kowtow to me if he dares to show his face here.""Somebody, anyone, HELP!!!""Bitch, what the hell are you screaming for!? Your underwear is all lace, so why the heck are you pretending?" Rogan immediately slapped her.Madelyn's face turned to one side by the impact as she opened her mouth and tried to bite back. Rogan tugged her hair and pulled her head back.She then let out another scream.Just at this moment, a man walked down from the staircase.As if seeing a savior, Madelyn pleaded. "Help me, please, help me..."The narrow staircase suddenly became cramped with the three people on it.Rogan looked at the man menacingly, "Mind your own business, cunt."The man had a powerful and intimidating aura about him and was a whole head taller than Rogan. His expression was icy cold as he glared at Rogan and barked

Five people got out of the car. Madelyn propped her hands on the ground, staring back at their nauseating gazes. She backed away in fear."Wh-What do you all want?" She continued, "D-Don't come any closer! If you want money, I'll give you all of my money."Rogan smiled lewdly and slowly walked closer to Madelyn, "Fucking hell. I almost broke my bones because of you. You're still trying to run...? Let's see where you can run to now...""This stupid bitch. Why are you wasting our time talking to her? Just bring her to our turf, and the five of us can have some fun with her!""That's right! I guarantee it'll take less than three days to get her to submit to us completely. Soon enough, she'll serve us and give us a few sons."Madelyn stood up with her trembling legs, "Do you realize what you're doing is a crime?!"The few men laughed wildly upon hearing her words. They asked in a mocking tone, "Crime? Why don't you take a look around and see where we are? We're the law around here."

"Keep running! Why'd you stop?""Come on, girl. Stop resisting and just follow us back. We won't hurt you."Madelyn glanced at the raging waves beneath her. As the rocks under her feet fell, they were instantly swallowed by the waves. In the face of such uncertainty, she found herself contemplating, 'Am I scared right now? Perhaps I am.'Memories flooded her mind—tragic deaths, betrayal, and the loss of cherished things. She had once believed she was the happiest person, but that dream shattered, leaving behind a gaping void of darkness, anguish, and torment.'I thought I could escape from all the tragedies of my past life in this lifetime as long as I let go of those things and those people... But now... I think I was wrong!' She clenched her fists as she grappled with this conflicting realization.'My life was destined to be a tragedy from the very moment of my birth. It seems as though the heavens demand that I pay for all of Hayson Jent's sins. All I yearn for is to live on an

Kevin held an umbrella and walked to the front of the car before heading to the passenger seat. He opened the car door, and Zach, in a perfectly tailored black shirt and slacks, stepped out of the car. He was incredibly handsome, but he exuded an air of intimidation.Everyone seemingly had been intimidated by his presence and automatically made way for him when he approached.Forrest met with his gaze just as he picked up Madelyn. When their eyes met, an unknown, suffocating feeling quickly passed between the two.Zach walked over while Kevin held an umbrella beside him."Mr. Arnold, I owe you one for saving Madelyn's life," said Zach as he stuck out his head. However, Forrest seemed to show no intention of accepting his handshake."You owe me one. Don't you forget it, Mr. Jardin."Zach took the unconscious Madelyn into his arms.They went to the Portsmouth Fishing Village Clinic.On their way back to Ventropolis, they discovered that a section of the road ahead had collapsed.
