The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 670 Crying Under the Red Flag

Daniel and Denzel finished speaking and immediately groveled to the villagers, their heads hitting the ground with loud thuds.

The scene fell into sudden silence. For a moment, no one spoke.

Maverick was still being stepped on by Marcus. He wanted to warn everyone not to be fooled, but the moment Marcus exerted pressure, the pain silenced him completely.

Lynette, Sue, and Ann were crying silently, tears streaming down their faces, but not a single sob escaped their lips.

The other girls, protected in the corner by Elijah, Sophia, and Connie, remained just as silent.

Daniel and Denzel were among the most promising young men in the village. They had received an education and experienced a shift in perspective. Unlike most of the other men, they often helped their siblings and their mother at home.

They also stood up for the weaker children in the village.

Now, as they spoke out for Lynette and the other girls, it was a sign that this village was not entirely beyond saving.

Natalie let out a slow breath and stepped forward, pulling Marcus back.

Freed at last, Maverick scrambled to his feet, ready to start cursing. But before he could, Dawson stepped up and held him back.

"Maverick, I support Daniel and Denzel. If they stand with Lynette and the other girls, then let them go. I trust them."

"No way." Martin was the first to object. He was still counting on using Lynette as leverage for an arranged marriage. There was no way he would let her leave.

He hadn't listened to a single word Daniel and Denzel had said.

This was how things had always been in Ashford Vale. Why should things change now? He refused to accept it.

"Whatever your family does is your business, but Lynette is not going anywhere."

"Martin, go to hell!" Lynette sprang to her feet, ran to grab a weapon from the table, and aimed it straight at Martin.

"If you're going to block my way, then you die first."

Her teeth were clenched, and her eyes were bloodshot with fury.

The weapon fired in an instant, hitting Martin straight in the stomach. He clutched his wound and stared at Lynette in disbelief.
