Chapter 522
Sarah had decided to stay and take care of the sickly lady until she was
nursed back to health. Then she would take her and Amy and leave this
godforsaken hellhole.
“Let me do that, Miss Sarah,” Suri said. She couldn’t believe Sarah was cooking
and cleaning. She’s a Quillen!
“It’s alright. I can do this.” Sarah smiled, but she didn’t stop.
As the sickly woman lay on the bed and watched her in silence, conflicting
emotions welled up within her. She was worried for Sarah, but the kindness of
this young lady was a sliver of light in the darkness of this village. She had
been in this hellscape and living her life in humiliation for decades, after all.
Soon, a commotion broke out as expected, but it was larger than the woman

window. There’s at least a hundred of them! Shocked, the woman leaped out
of bed. “Dear Lord, that must be Bugsy himself. Leave using the backdoor
now, or you’ll never escape!”
“This isn’t a drill, Miss Sarah. We need to get out of here,” said Suri worriedly.
There were more than a hundred people out there. No matter how good a
fighter Sarah was, she couldn’t fend off a hundred men.
Sarah knew that too. This wasn’t something she could handle herself, so she
quickly said, “Suri, we’re also taking Mrs. Hedge with us too, so help me.”
The woman was crying, touched that Sarah still wouldn’t give up on her even
now. However, when the ladies came out of the backdoor with Amy and her
mother in tow, the whole house was already surrounded, and a group of
burly men stopped their path.
“I can’t believe she’s still here!” Cobra’s eyes shone at the sight of Sarah. He
was worried they might have made their escape. If they did, he wouldn’t be
able to do whatever he wanted to them.
Bugsy and a few of his lackeys arrived shortly after. One look at him, and
Sarah knew he was not to be trifled with. His muscles were taut, and his
footsteps were firm. Bugsy was no trifling thug like Cobra.
A worried Suri whispered, “What now, Miss Sarah? I think you should just ditch
all three of us and run.” If she escapes alone, she might be able to break
through, but with us tagging along? Not a chance in hell.
Sarah gritted her teeth. “I won’t ditch you guys.”
Even at a distance, Bugsy heard everything, and he roared with laughter.
“Good! I love women who care about their friends. So, you want to stay here
and marry me? I might have a harem, but I can make you feel like a queen.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSuri spat in disdain. “How dare you speak to her like that, you oaf? Do you
have any idea who she is? She’s one of Yeringham’s most prized women.”
Fighting head–on wouldn’t win them the battle, so she had to use the family
name to scare these people off.
Bugsy froze for a moment before grinning. “Ah, a Yeringham local. Well, spill
the beans. Tell us who this lady is.”
Before Sarah could say anything, Suri proudly proclaimed, “Then listen close,
oafs. She’s the second daughter of the Quillen family, the richest family in
Yeringham. Touch her, and her father will level this place along with you in it.”
She thought the threat would work. After all, the Quillens were also an
influential family in Onza.
However, the thugs burst into laughter along with their boss. They didn’t even
think the Quillen family was a threat. Bugsy swaggered ahead and tried to
hold her chin. “And here I wondered where this lily angel came from.
Daughter of Yeringham’s richest man, I see. Explains the beauty.”
