Despite her very weak and immobile body, Hallie could still hear everything they said.At that moment, tears streamed uncontrollably from both corners of her eyes.It was the first time the cold-hearted girl had ever cried.She had trusted these two girls almost like her own sisters, but they were just friends to exploit her.Even worse, they wanted to sell her to a rich man, not just a year ago, but even now."You two, what have I done to you? Why are you so heartless to me?"Hallie asked them, tears streaming weakly from the corners of her eyes."You ask me, what is your fault? Are you blind?"Slap!While pulling Hallie's hair, Anayah slapped her hard on the cheek."Every time we go somewhere, all eyes are on you and all praise is directed at you!Do you think we are lifeless objects without feelings?If you hadn't stolen all the attention, praise, and admiration, we certainly wouldn't have taken revenge on you!""But it's too late now!"Slap!Hattie said as she also slapped Hallie

"Oh, I almost forgot something!" Harriette said.Carrying a bag and placing it on the table next to Hallie, she continued, "I just went shopping. I don't know what kind of clothes you like, but I'm sure this will fit you!""Auntie, why are you doing this? You shouldn't go out of your way for me!" Hallie said with a regretful and grateful expression at the same time.The cold expression that had been on her face for so long vanished without a trace. What was visible was the face of a young girl, full of care and charm."What are you saying?" Harriette said, holding Hallie's cheek lovingly. "You helped us pay for my husband's medical expenses, which I'm sure were very expensive! If it weren't for that, I wouldn't be able to express my gratitude to you!"Harriette thought Hallie was Mr. Richardson's daughter. That's why, without Henry having to ask her, Harriette immediately treated Hallie very nicely.These words made Hallie furrow her brow. "I don't even know this family or have helped

As soon as Henry entered the door of the apartment, he felt a negative aura pressing down on him, as if he were in a closed room filled with smoke.Not only did it feel unhealthy, but it also made it difficult for anyone inside to breathe.The next moment, Henry's ears caught the panicked voice of a young woman coming from one of the bedrooms."Mother, please wait a moment! I'll go buy the medicine," the young woman said as she placed a warm compress on Margret's forehead."Mia, hurry! I can't stand it anymore!""Wait, Mother! I'm leaving right now!"Before she left the room, Henry had entered.In front of him lay a woman who looked very old.With dark circles around her eyes, she looked ten or twenty years older than her actual age.When Henry had met her a month ago, she had a healthy and slightly plump body. But now, aside from the skin clinging to her body, there wasn't much fat left on her face and body."You...! Why are you here?" The young woman became very angry when she saw H

Henry put his hand to his nose and smelled a strong and foul odor coming from the room."That smell! No doubt, this is the place!"As Henry entered the room, the first natural reaction he felt was that his stomach was churning and he might vomit at any moment.And how could he not?There were carcasses of pigs, snakes, and other animals lying on the floor.Meanwhile, at the far end, there were dozens of jars filled with thick liquid containing human hair.From their color and shape, they were definitely the hairs of several people."Damn it! These must be the hairs of the people the old man used for his magic!"Henry was about to approach the jars when he felt something move quickly toward him from the side.Woosh!The attack was incredibly fast, even faster than the attack by the security guards who had surrounded him at the Emgrand Hotel yesterday.If he didn't have the Seed of God within him, the attack would have undoubtedly crushed his organs or even caused his death.In response

"I didn't ask you to be her boyfriend! I just want someone to protect her! If you're willing to do that for me, I'll be very grateful!"Hearing such a request, Henry seemed hesitant.On the one hand, he would gladly help Mia or anyone else in need, as long as he could do something for them.But if he had to take care of Mia, he was afraid that he might not be able to do that.Besides not knowing Mia yet, he wasn't sure if the girl needed his help."Miss, Mia is not a child anymore! I'm sure she can take care of herself!"Margret shook her head."No, you don't know the truth! I've never told her how her father died!You know what, he died because of magic!That's why I need your help!Besides being a good person, you also have knowledge of magic!I can die peacefully anytime if someone like you takes care of her!"Her husband died because of magic?Henry furrowed his brow.Why did she not tell him earlier?"I'm sorry, I can't," Henry said.Then he bowed his head for a moment.His face
