Chapter 473

Valerie couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat, her heart racing

Luckily, Ethan’s mouth was taped shut, so all he could manage were a few muffled groans. He was clearly aware of being tied up and struggled with determination. Despite his efforts, Ruth had tied him securely, so his struggles didn’t amount to much. Seeing this, Valerie breathed a sigh of relief. The human trafficker glanced at her and asked, “What happened? You said you drugged her, didn’t you? You’re not pulling my leg, are you?”

Valerie remained calm as she replied, “Nope. If you don’t believe me, ask my wifer

Then, she nudged Ruth, who visibly paled. Valerie grabbed her arm and signaled for her to speak

drop left

Ruth hurriedly explained, “It’s true. We gave her all the medicine you gave us before. There wasn’t a drop)

The human trafficker looked at them and then at the sack. Suddenly, he burst out laughing. “Man, this girl is something elser

He smacked the sack, giving Ethan’s butt a hit that made him squirm

“Heh! You’re full of energy? The human trafficker seemed satisfied.

Valerie also smiled. Despite Ethan waking up, she wasn’t worried about him causing any more trouble.

Thinking quickly, she softened her tone and said to the human trafficker. “This girl can be a handful. I’ll be straight with you. I think 600 dollars is strep. How about I sell her at market rate, 2 dollars per pound? She’s around 100 pounds, so let’s make it 200 dollars”

Worried the human trafficker wouldn’t believe her, Valerie added. “But o

once I sell her to you, there’s no returning her. She’s got quite the temper!” The human trafficker grinned from ear to ear. “Don’t worry. No matter how tough she is, she’ll have to listen to me!

“You sure about selling her for 200 dollar?”

Valene scoffed. “That’s all she’s worth!

woman just dare insult me like that?!‘

When Ethan heard this, he instantly flew into a rage. “Did this wo

The human trafficker was naturally thrilled. He’d scored a huge bargain. He counted out 200 dollars and handed it to Valerie. Afraid she might change her mind, he quickly sealed the deal jumped into the car, hit the gas, and sped off

When Valerie saw the car disappear, she sighed in relief and smiled. Ruth was taken aback by her expression. She never imagined her daughter, who had always been easy to talk to and mild–mannered, would now show such audacity,

Ruth asked hesitantly, “Valerie, since you’ve already sold him, can I leave now?”

Valerie handed her the money with a slight smile. Ruth blinked in surprise. You don’t want it?

Valerie said calmly, “I’ll give you all this money. He beats you up and talks harshly, anyone will understand if you don’t want a man like that. Take the money and pretend you don’t know anything.”

Hearing this, Huth was overjoyed. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Valerie. “You’re right! Valerie, I’m so glad I raised you well!”

Recently, Ruth had been extremely poor. She’d grown used to spending lavishly with Valerie’s money, but now she couldn’t even afford enough to eat. Even though she only had 200 dollars, it was still a lot for her. Counting the money lappily, she muttered. “Too bad he sold for so little!” Ethan was still a human, so selling him for 600 dollars didn’t seem excessive to Ruth. She couldn’t understand why Valerie would sell him for the price of meat market.

r out of options.

Valerie murmured. “Let’s move quickly to avoid any mishaps. Selling him for 200 doll Hurry up and get out of here!”

Ruth thought it made sense and turned to leave. To her surprise, as she turned away, Valerie swiftly grabbed a stick from behind.

Then, with a thud, Valerie knocked her out

Seeing Ruth fall to the ground, Valerie glared down her and tossed the stick aside,

Ethan was out of his mind. Ruth wasn’t exactly a sain either. She nearly went along with Ethan’s idea to sell Valerie. If Valerie hadn’t been quick- witted she could have ended up in a car bound for nowhere. Valerie trusted no one. It was only because Ruth had shown some kindness the day before that Valerie didn’t sell her long ago but instead knocked her out.

Ruth’s head hit the comer of the wall, blood splattering swiftly dashed in the opposite direction.
