Chapter 293 Dinner of Desperation.
“Want to eat? Go away!”
Following the curses, a n
man was thrown out.
Finished
With a thud, the man’s body slammed heavily onto the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
The man struggled on the ground, unable to get up or speak, emitting only painful groans from his throat; this man was David. The once proud CEO of Bennett Corporation, now clad in tattered clothes, reeking of foul odors, his body emaciated, cheeks hollow, and cheekbones protruding.
His exposed skin was covered in scars, clearly having endured frequent beatings. Shortly after, an old man, over seventy, thin and dark, emerged from the house.
Without a word, he began to kick and beat David.
“What’s the use of raising you, you worthless thing? Just go die!”
“Ah ah ah…” David tried to speak, but because of a stroke and paralysis, he couldn’t utter a word. When he opened his mouth, foul–smelling saliva dribbled out.
After a few kicks, the old man finally noticed Lauren, Felix, and the others.
He spotted Gael immediately because Gael had been the one to bring David and Willow back.
Seeing them, the old man paused, startled.
“You, what are you doing at my house?“:
Just as Gael was about to speak, suddenly, a sharp scream from a woman came from a nearby pigpen.
This was followed by a man’s vicious cursing.
“Damned wretch, sleeping with you is your good fortune. You’ve been with every man in the village, and yet you still act pure, even daring to resist? I’ll beat you to death.”
With that, the man began to punch and kick the woman
Heart–wrenching screams echoed from the pigpen
The woman cried and shouted, “I am the Bennetts‘ daughter, my dad is a chairman, my mom a lady of high society, my brother is a CEO. They will rescue me someday.”
“Your dad is a chairman? Hahaha–your dad is nothing but a paralyzed waste now, he can’t even look after himself, let alone you. You can’t even bear a child; your only use is to relieve men’s urges. You think about getting our? Dream on.”
The man’s kicks landed blindly on the woman’s body, one after another, until he was gasping for breath, too tired to continue, and finally stopped.
Breathing heavily, he straightened his disheveled clothes and walked out of the pigpen.
He noticed Lauren, Felix, and Gael standing in the courtyard.

His gaze fell on Lauren, and instantly his eyes sparkled with lewd intent, staring at her unscrupulously.
“This woman looks good, healthy for sure, she can delinitely bear sons. Are you planning to sell her? Tell me how much; I’ll buy her.
The man grinned, his smile grotesque, displaying a set of yellowed, never–brushed teeth.
Just looking at them was disgustingly foul.
Felix’s eyes narrowed with a dangerous glint; he raised his arm, pulling Lauren tightly into his embrace, protectively.
Then Gael, with a swift kick, sent the approaching middle–aged man flying.
The man flew 9 feet, crashing heavily onto the ground, nearly knocked–senseless.
That kick made him instantly realize that the three people before him were not to be trifled with, immediately dismissing any thoughts of buying Lauren to bear his children.
With the clanking of chains, a figure slowly crawled out from the pigpen.
It was a woman, so thin she was practically just skin and bones.
Her cheekbones were sharply pronounced, her eyes sunken deep into their sockets, dull and lifeless, almost skeletal. Her hair was a tangled mess, caked with dust and grime. Her upper body was clothed in a tattered garment, but her lower body was bare…
The skin on display was a ghastly sight, crisscrossed with scars as if sliced by knives or lashed by whips, a
horrific sight
Her legs were clearly broken by someone, twisted at odd angles, making it impossible for her to stand, forcing her to crawl on the ground like a dog.
To prevent her from escaping, her ankles were shackled with heavy chains, making a jarring noise with every painful movement.
Lauren immediately recognized her; this woman was Willow.
As Willow struggled to crawl, she whispered to herself. My parents and brother will come for me; they love me more than anything, even enough to frame their own daughter. I’m their treasure; they’ll save me one day… I have to stay strong, I need to eat well, keep eating, just keep eating…
