Chapter 30: Chapter 29: Save Me

Fleeting seconds ticking by.

Elliana Lyle rests her left hand on her cheek, while her right index finger taps rhythmically on the table.

The youngest victim is only 12 years old, and the oldest is just 18.

They are terrified of people finding out that they were forcibly violated.

If anyone discovered, they would not only struggle to face their parents, but would also be ostracized by those around them.

Elliana Lyle cannot preserve these girls’ reputations, but she can help them get lawyers and punish the culprits.

After much contemplation, Elliana decided on a plan of action: anyone willing to sue Adrian Young and Raymond Wood would receive a sum of money as compensation.

It’s entirely voluntary, and she’s not going to force anyone who isn’t willing.

She had a plan, but where would the money come from? Though her family is wealthy, she didn’t know what reason she could use for asking.

Indeed, it’s better to earn money on her own.

But... she still had the card given by Norman Bennett in her possession; borrowing it might be...

Suddenly, a WeChat message notification sounded — it was from a newly added victim.

I Saw the Light: "Who are you people exactly? I told you this morning, I’m not willing, if you want to sue, do it yourself, don’t drag me into it."

What did this mean? This morning?

The information in this message was quite revealing. Is someone else doing this?

Knock, knock.

As she pondered, the door to the study was knocked upon. Elliana quickly exited the WeChat page and said towards the door, "Come in."

Norman Bennett approached her, his cold demeanor carrying a touch of seriousness.

Elliana smiled, "Norman, you’re back."

"Mm."

Norman sat beside her, pulling her into his embrace, "There’s been progress with Adrian Young and Raymond Wood’s case; Raymond Wood has found quite a few victims, and they’re planning to sue."

He didn’t tell Elliana what he had uncovered; such disgraceful matters were not something he wanted her to know.

So it was Norman Bennett! Elliana only then realized.

She had only glanced at the list Luna sent using her laptop, and then deleted the cache.
