Chapter 88 The Wedding

Finished

Raine counted with her fingers while saying, “If we sell the shop, we should be able to get 20. I’ve saved some money over the years too. In addition, Lad has around 10 in his account. If the two of us pool our money together, we can get 100.”

“100? Isn’t that too little? Moreover, wouldn’t Helena suffer as well if you sold the shop?” Isolde asked with a long face.

Actually, deep down, Isolde was very happy. The Wood family was willing to go into debt to buy Helena out from slavery. It meant that they really valued her.

Lad’s face turned red on the spot. He said in a low voice, “I won’t let her suffer. She can rest easy at home.”

When Helena heard this, she commented, “Do you expect me to rest at home while you and Mrs. Wood work your butts off? Won’t that make me a disabled?”

Lad looked at her and said without thinking, “You can focus on bearing children.”

Helena was enraged. She turned around to leave while chiding, “I’m not some baby–making machine.”

Lad didn’t know what to do when he saw Helena was angry.

Hazel chimed in and said, “Dumbo, follow her.”

Only then did Lad react and quickly chase after Helena.

Isolde smiled and held Raine’s hand. She revealed, “Alright. I was joking just now. Helena is not bound to me by an indenture. When she started working for me in the manor, I burned her contract along with the contracts of the other girls working for me. She’s a free woman. “As for the money you’ll give me, I’ll give them all to Helena. So, you can decide how much money you want to give me. If you give me more, you’ll look better in the eyes of others. If you can’t afford a decent wedding, I’ll top up whatever that’s needed. I’ve allocated a fund for her wedding.”

Raine was overjoyed. She praised, “Miss Langley, you’re really kind–hearted.”

Isolde looked at her and said softly, “Mrs. Wood, I only ask for one thing. Tell Lad to treat Helena better. Don’t break her heart by taking more than one wife.”

Raine immediately scowled and said, “If that kid dares to do so, I’ll be the first to make him suffer.”

Isolde was relieved.

She knew that the Wood family was a good family. Raine and Lad got along well, and they had personalities. Helena wouldn’t be bullied.
