The Woman From Hell

Frank's brows lowered. His voice was low and hoarse as he rubbed his hands. "We're too far away. Nothing here is as good as it is out there. Every time Jacob comes back from the city, he'll tell us how good things are in the city. It's a pity that they don't have the intention to reform the village. Although I have this idea, I have no money or power. Thinking about it is just a fantasy."

His tone was sincere, and it did not sound like a lie. I stared at him and asked again, "Then, why do you have such an idea?"

When I asked this, Frank sighed. "In the past few years, a few more young girls have appeared in our village from time to time. I know that they were all sold in, but I also know that this is illegal. If the village can be transformed, then these girls would marry in willingly instead of us having to rely on those people to lure them in."

He was still kind. My eye for people had not failed me.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"But have you ever thought that if you want to reform, you'll definitely have to expose this matter to the public and that you'll all be sent to the police station?"

"I know. If the day comes, it'll be our own fault. We can't blame others for it."

It was rare that there was someone like him here. Although his parents had failed, fortunately, Frank was a good person.

I opened my mouth. I wanted to share my plan with him, but I was worried that I was being too impulsive. If he refused and revealed my plans, what should I do then?

Frank noticed that I was hesitant to speak and looked at me with a smile. "Do you have anything else to say?"

"You can tell?"

"It's very obvious. Why don't you say it?"

His skin was tan, but his eyes were bright and he was staring at me now. Being stared at by him, I shifted my gaze and said cautiously, "I want to tell you a secret of my own, but I'm afraid you'll tell it to other people, so I'm hesitating.

Hearing this, Frank smiled and waved his hand. "I'm the best at keeping secrets. Let me tell you something. What I just told you is also a secret of mine. I've never shared it with my parents. I know they'll definitely scold me for thinking nonsense all day long. I feel much happier now that I've told you about it. You can also tell me your secret. Don't worry, I won't say anything."

He was so sincere that I could not bear it any longer. I looked at him and asked him, "If I say that I have an opportunity to help you transform the village, will you help me?"

This statement caught Frank's interest immediately. His eyes lit up, and he immediately got up from lying down. He looked at me and smiled. "Really, what's the plan?"

"I have to get out of here before it can happen."

However, the moment I said this, Frank's eyes dimmed again. He lay back down again and responded leisurely, "You want to leave. That's why you're coaxing me."

"I told you that my husband is a respectable person in Whaldorf City. As long as I can leave this place, I can persuade him to buy your village and renovate it," I said calmly.

Only then did Frank stand up again. He looked at me, "But you also said that once the village is reformed, our crimes will be exposed and we'll all be taken in."

"The principal offender's crime will be relatively serious. As for the villagers, they're all ignorant. I don't think it'll be too severe. What's more, as long as you help me, you'd be pardoned. Don't worry too much."

"But..."
