Chapter 396

Mandy nodded. "She's not your mom. She's a trafficker."

The child's eyes lit up instantly, her fear melting away, replaced by a smile that bloomed across her small face.

"Aunt Mandy, can you help me find my real mom? I don't want to stay here anymore. Everyone here hates me. They don't give me anything to eat. I'm so hungry."

Hearing this, Mandy's tears fell even harder, streaming down her cheeks in an unstoppable torrent.

She gathered the little girl into her arms, holding her tight.

This poor child's fate was heartbreakingly similar to Claire's.

If Mandy hadn't found this place, this little one's future would have ended up just like Claire's trapped, abused, and forgotten.

The more Mandy thought about it, the more frightened she became. "It's okay, sweetheart. I'll take you away from here. I promise, I'm not leaving you behind."

She scooped the child up in her arms, ready to make her escape, when suddenly, a man burst into the room.

He caught sight of the lifeless woman on the floor and let out a horrified yell, "Did you kill my wife?"

His gaze snapped to the child in Mandy's arms, his face twisted with rage. "Where do you think you're taking that little brat?"

"You think you can kill someone and just walk away? No chance."
