His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 555 Repay The Debt

Before she could react, Alisha added, “If you can peacefully take care of the children here for thirty years, you’ll regain your freedom when the time limit is up. However, our funds are limited, so during this period, we can only provide you with food and shelter, and salary is out of the question.”

“Thirty years?” The moment Lysanne heard this, she lost her cool, revealing her true feelings. “This decrepit place of yours is like a haunted house! I couldn’t even stand it for thirty days!”

“You’ve lived off someone else’s life for nearly three decades. Now, it’s time to repay the debt.”

“No! No! Thirty years? After thirty years, I’ll be an old woman. I don’t want that!”

Alisha made a casual gesture. “I’m going to check on the children. Feel free to do as you wish.”

Seeing that Alisha was about to leave, Lysanne chased after her fiercely. “Hold on! Don’t think that acting like an old matron will intimidate me. I won’t be toiling away for you all here. Hurry up and-”

Thud!

A stone struck Lysanne on the head, making a distinct sound.

Lysanne had never experienced such humiliation before. Tears of pain welled up in her eyes on the spot. She didn’t even bother to chase after Alisha. Instead, she turned her head directly in the direction from where the stone had been thrown.

In the corridor stood a group of children around ten years old. At this age, adoption from the orphanage was already an improbable event.

Lysanne walked over, resentment seeping through her every step, and cursed, “What a bunch of unwanted b“stards!”

She picked up a stone from the ground, intending to throw it back, but she was unprepared for the children’s onslaught. They pelted her with stones mixed in with clumps of damp mud.

Lysanne hastily jumped up, intending to shake it off, but instead, she ended up getting even dirtier.

Upon witnessing the scene, the children began to laugh and applaud enthusiastically.

Subsequently, the objects thrown at Lysanne became overwhelmingly diverse, akin to a dense hail of bullets, preventing her from stepping forward to discipline the children.
