NovelEnglishBut why was she reacting in this way? Marco had sprinted back to the orphanage when he heard the commotion.
Since Loraine wore heels and could not walk fast, she was one step behind him. Upon her arrival, she discovered that Marco was outnumbered by the group of bodyguards, prompting her to immediately intervene and halt the fight.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZaria, looking somehow guilty, quickly ordered the bodyguards to retreat. Her eyes remained fixed on Loraine, filled with a mix of bewilderment and terror.
Loraine’s brow furrowed in confusion.
It was Judie who broke the silence, her voice a screech, “Loraine, are you trying to ruin things foragain?” Then she turned to the bodyguards and shouted in indignation, “You useless fools, | told you not to stop until you finished them all. Beat this woman too!” Loraine’s face twisted into an expression of contempt as she addressed Judie, “Judie, you again? First, you tried to get the orphanage from Mrs. Harvey at the banquet. Now that you've failed, you're trying to tear down the orphanage by force, huh?” Her voice was filled with disdain, making her opinion of Judie’s actions clear.
El Judie was so consumed with fury that she failed to notice Zaria’s unusual reaction. Her eyes blazed as she glared at Loraine, an internal urge to stomp her feet in frustration building within her.
How was it that she still couldn't defeat Marco, even after bringing more people this time? Having ruled over the village with an iron fist, she found her current situation utterly humiliating.
ninja The cause of her defeat was clear: Loraine. From their shared childhood to the present, Loraine had been the only one who dared challenge her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRecent grudges and Lingering resentment combined, turning Judie’s eyes a fiery red with anger.
Loraine, noticing that Marco was firmly in control and not at all resembling a victim, felt a brief sense of relief.
She didn’t have tto ponder Zaria’s strange behavior, instead she taunted Judie, “Although your family aspires to be the ruler of this little village, it seems the villagers don’t quite see you that way, huh?” Judie’s expression twisted into something grotesque. The events at the banquet had proven that the villagers’ loyalty Lay only in their own self-interest.
Loraine had enticed them with a compelling proposition, and they had instantly turned on her. If she dared to oppose Loraine now, they would treat her as badly as they had treated Loraine before.
Despite this, Judie refused to yield to Loraine. She lifted her chin defiantly and sneered, “So what if you've convinced the villagers? Is my family supposed to fear them? Hmph, they are but narrow-minded fools! Only those fools would heed your words. What's the point of setting up charity markets? It’s simply beneath us!” Loraine laughed coldly, “You speak of class, yet you've never even been to the city. How dare you claim your agritainment resort is better than charity markets?” Judie’s anger flared, but she suppressed it, replacing her scowl with a sweet smile. “Who said | was going to build an agritainment resort? The truth is, I'm planning a private vacation villa here!” With undisguised disdain, Judie examined Loraine from head to toe, dismissively retorting, “Ever seen a villa? | doubt it. But then again, the man supporting you must not care for you much, or he’d have returned with you...
Don’t think I'll cower just because you've brought someone who's been in the newspapers. This land is my family’s territory! If you value your life, take your lover and leave. Don’t obstructfrom demolishing the orphanage!”
