Janet hadn’t told anyone about this.
All she wanted now was to get her mom out of here fast.
Seeing the boarding reminder for three hours later,
Janet and her mom quickly packed their things.
Just as they were about to leave,
urgent pounding echoed at the door.
A middle–aged woman barged in, her tone sharp.
“Took you long enough! What were you doing?”
Janet frowned at the stranger. “Who are you? Leave.”
The woman eyed Janet’s face and clicked her tongue, ignoring the question.
“Son, her face… not ideal.”
“But no matter. As long as we find you a wife, we’ll make it work.”
Janet wondered if this woman was insane.
Then the man who’d assaulted her sister swaggered in.
Janet lunged at him, rage blinding her. “Get out! How dare you show your face here!”

“Either hand over your sister, or go with him.”
Feeling the man’s lecherous stare, Janet’s voice shook. “My sister’s dead. She won’t come back. Happy now?”
Helen paused, then scoffed. “Really? Lying about your own sister’s death?”
“Losing the case to me isn’t worth this.”
After the jab, Helen turned to Justin sweetly.
“Justin, what should we do?”
Justin pondered, then gripped Janet’s wrist hard.
“I told you this case matters to Helen.”
