Chapter 50

With everyone watching, Hellen, Paul, John, and a young man came across the crowd and arrived at the stage.

Janet immediately recognized that young man as the Diaz’s middle son, Owen.

Owen was a large and sturdy man with his bulging muscles and bushy mustache. He seemed like one of those people who would pick up a random fight on the street.

And as the matter of fact, Owen was exactly like that: hot–tempered, aggressive, and

abusive.

When they were child, Janet was his personal punching bag, and he would beat her up just for fun.

And all other kids like Harper and John would stand by the side and cheer for Owen when he abused her.

The harder he punched, the merrier the group got.

Janet could never forget the pain and humiliation. Those miserable memories were forever engraved on her soul.

She hadn’t seen Owen after she returned to Riverside Pack this time. She heard that

Owen wanted to serve in the army and was sent to the border.

He probably rushed back last night because of what happened to Harper.

“Mom! Dad! My brothers!”

Harper let out a sharp scream and crawled forward, grabbing Hellen’s skirt by its edge.

“I miss you so much mom!” she looked up at Hellen with red eyes and sobbed, “You don’t know what kind of place they tossed me into! That cell was horrible! It is dark and damp. And I got rats nibbling my feet at nights…I was so scared, mom!”

Hellen stroked her long hair lovingly and said, “It is OK now. You are no longer in that cell, my dear.”

“And I don’t want to return to that place, EVER!”

Harper tightened her grip on Hellen’s skirt and whispered urgently, “Mom, you must get me out of this. Just pay that filthy rat Angelina enough money and I am sure she can forgive me!”

John said with a frown, “But Harper, we had tried to talk to Angelina for the past few

days. And she declined our compensation, saying that all she wanted was justice.”

“Bullshit!”

Harper snapped, darting him a glare.

“Those lowly commoners don’t care about the justice. All they care is money! Double the compensation! Triple it! Writer her a blank check if needed!”
