The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 667 Fight for Their Future

Natalie and her group watched the scene unfold, feeling emotional. When they first arrived here, the girls in this village had not reacted like this.

Back then, their faces had been filled with fear, hesitation, and numbness.

But in less than two years, they had learned to think for themselves, to be brave, to stand their ground, and to fight for their own future.

This kind of change might seem simple, but the hardship behind it was beyond imagination.

"Mom, you're a woman too. You were once a girl. Do you think the way Grandpa raised you was normal?"

Lynette stared at her mother with teary eyes as she spoke, "Mom, you lived this way, so does that mean I have to live like this too? And in the future, will my daughter be forced to endure the same fate?

"No. This is not the life I want. I won't let my daughter become a sacrifice. What makes men so great? Just because they have one extra body part, does that make them superior to us?

"We know exactly what you've been planning. We don't have 10,000 dollars right now. We don't have the means. But we can sign an IOU with Natalie and her people. 10,000 dollars to cut ties with you and to break free from this place is worth it.

"Mom, think about it. If I end up just like you, will that be happiness?"

As she spoke, Lynette pulled out the pre-written IOU and severance agreement. Without hesitation, she signed her name, then bit her finger and pressed a blood- red fingerprint onto the paper.

"Dad, sign it.

"Sign it, and the 10,000 dollars is yours."

Her eyes were still red, but her voice was firm. She refused to waver or back down.

Natalie held her weapon, aiming it directly at Maverick. In the worst-case scenario, she would use force again. But she believed that most people in the village wouldn't dare to break the fragile balance.

Then again, it wasn't up to them anymore-because that balance was about to be shattered.

With Lynette, Sue, and Ann taking the lead, and with Una pulling Dossie and Tressa to stand behind them, the expressions of the villagers grew darker and darker.

This was especially true of the women-the ones who were both daughters and mothers—who had just heard Lynette's words. Their faces flickered with emotion. "Mom, you may be willing to accept your fate, but we're not," Lynette said again. "I will never let my daughter be traded away for a so-called son or to be sold like livestock. Never."
