Richest Mogul

1/2

The Specters had never seen people like Joe and Skylar. It was as though nothing they said was of any importance. A simple order from Joe and Skylar was enough to sentence them to death.

The power imbalance was like that between kings and peasants. They were suffocated by the sheer helplessness of the situation.

Joe and Skylar were nothing like their old neighbors or friends. Back then, they traded insults. Whoever lasted the longer in the argument won.

“You’ve disrupted the peace of our patients. Just now, we heard you threatening the other patients and their families. You’re posing a threat to our hospital’s safety. Please leave the hospital now. If not, we’ll call the police immediately.” After walking over, the head of security gave them forceful instructions.

When Jimmy and Keith saw the intimidating guards, they were too scared to continue speaking. They’d shrunk into themselves slightly after Joe showed up. Now, they were too scared to even say a word. They looked at Valencia for guidance.

Valencia paled and said, “You’ve got this wrong. She’s my daughter. We would like to get her discharged.”

He said, “Please.”

Valencia paled helplessly. She could only look at Wendy and mock her, “Did you think they would help you? Don’t forget who raised you. If you knew what’s best for you, you’d come with us right now.”

When the time came, they’d ask for a handsome sum. This would put their family on track for a comfortable life. What was so bad about it? What would justice and punishment for those boys do? They’d slept with her anyway. Why would she prefer justice over money? It was ridiculous!

Valencia’s eyes flashed. It told Wendy that she would regret it when they got home if she refused to obey.

Wendy was pale under Valencia’s glare. She nearly fainted from the terror.

However, a voice inside her head insisted that she needed to get justice. Those devils had to be punished by the law. They destroyed her. She wouldn’t let it slide. If she did, what was the point of continuing to live? She would spend her life going through the motions like a zombie.

Wendy took a deep breath, gathered every fiber of courage in her body, and declared, “I’m not leaving.”

“You!” Valencia was furious. If there hadn’t been an audience looking on, she would’ve given Wendy a good beating. She would be obedient after that!

The head of security ordered, “Call the police.”

“Wait! We’re leaving now!” Valencia’s expression changed.

Before Jimmy and Keith left, they glared at Wendy like she was their enemy rather than a loved one. They might’ve preferred a dog over Wendy.

After they left, Wendy fainted. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Simona was terrified. She exclaimed, “Skylar W–Wendy fainted!”

“I’ll get a doctor.” Skylar immediately set out to get a doctor, but Joe stopped her. He instructed, “Stay here with them. I’ll find him.”

Skylar met Joe’s eyes. She felt like the distance between them had disappeared.

“Alright.”

Wendy was doing worse than Simona. Other than the bruises on her, she was also covered in burns. It was a horrible sight. Even the nurse couldn’t stomach it.

She told Skylar about Wendy’s situation, “She probably gets beaten up often. There are fresh wounds layered on top of old wounds. She even broke a rib before, not to mention her malnutrition. I suspect that she’s a victim of human trafficking. Those people who were here probably aren’t related to her by blood.”

If they had been her biological parents, they wouldn’t have treated her like that.

Simona exhausted herself by crying. She went to sleep in a neighboring bed.

Skylar glanced at Simona while she was fast asleep and thanked the nurse.
