Chapter 472
Naraâs pupils shrank at those words.
âŠ.
She looked at Austin in disbelief before her gaze fell on Lady Gill. She knelt before the lady, crying and shaking her head pleadingly.
Nara was no fool.
At this life-or-death moment, she wouldnât continue to fight with them, so she stretched out her hands, gesturing, âI am your daughter! I am your daughter!â
Unfortunately, Lady Gill couldnât understand sign language.
She looked down at Nara, watching her frantically point at the two of them in turn, not knowing what she was trying to say.
For some reason, a sentence Helen said earlier flashed through Lady Gillâs mind, â⊠Have you ever thought about the possibility that Barbara might have encountered people like you?â
Lady Gill hesitated a little in confronting this girl of her daughterâs age.
She clenched her jaw and turned to Jackson, â⊠What exactly do you want to do with her?â
Jackson started speaking with a whimper. âAunt, what can I do? I just called her over to have her apologize properly to me and let out this pent-up anger. Thatâs all!â
He looked at Nara, suddenly laughing. âAunt, I helped you find your Barbara. Surely, this request isnât too much, is it?â
BarbaraâŠ
Nara suddenly realized something and looked at Jackson!
He knew everything!
From the moment he stole her jade pendant, he had known everything!
And when he spoke those words, he looked directly at her, which meant he knew what was happening. He was doing it on purposeâŠ
Nara trembled with rage and gestured, âI am Barbara! I am the one!â
Regrettably, Lady Gill and Austin couldnât understand her at all.
Lady Gill was about to say something, but Austin stepped forward, kicking Nara in the back, making her fall flat.
Her hands could no longer gesture anything.
Austin said, âMom, weâll know my sisterâs whereabouts soon. Donât go soft now!â
Upon hearing this, Lady Gill withdrew her gaze and said fiercely, âDonât worry. I wonât.â
Nara fell into despair.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but couldnât speak. She only struggled helplessly, pointing at herself, trying to tell them she was Barbara!
Jackson had long known what she was trying to say and even seemed to have understood her sign language. He curled his lips into a smile and said, âNara, do you have something you want to say? What is it?â
Nara glared at him.
Austin, impatient, spoke again. âJackson, just get on with what you want to do to her! After that, tell us about Barbaraâs news!â
When Nara heard this, she looked at Austin in shock, her eyes filled with fear and despair.
Seeing her expression, Austin stared at her. âDo you want to tell us to let you go? Forget it. Thatâs impossible.â
He crouched down and grabbed Naraâs hair. âYouâd better be a good girl and obey Jackson. Make him happy! That way, he will tell us the news about my sister, and you can leave⊠Otherwise, donât blame me for joining him against you!â
After saying this, he let go of Naraâs head, letting her fall to the ground. Her forehead hit the cement floor, leaving a fresh bruise.
Stunned, she looked at Austin, then turned to Lady Gill.
Lady Gill said coldly, âYoung lady, you better do as youâre told. Make Jackson happy, get this ordeal over, and help us find our daughter!â
Austin nodded. âExactly, for a lowly woman like you to have any connection with my sister is your good fortune! Hurry up⊠Jackson, what do you want to do?!â
Jackson laughed, âWhat do I want to do? I have been ruined because of her, so today, Iâll ruin her too!â
After finishing his declaration, he pointed at Nara and demanded, âI want her to strip naked and stand right here! Let me have a good look!!â
At these words, Naraâs pupils shrank!
Lady Gill frowned slightly, about to say something, but Austin held her shoulder. âMom, I know you canât bear it, just donât lookâŠâ
Lady Gill stared at Nara.
She was indeed the same age as her daughter, and if it werenât for her daughter, she would never treat another girl like thisâŠ
But thinking of BarbaraâŠ
She turned around abruptly and commanded coldly, âMake it quick! Keep her alive.â
âYes.â
Upon hearing that, Jackson smiled.
He ordered the bodyguards, âWhat are you standing around for? Do it! Strip her naked! Tear all her clothes!â
With that command, several bodyguards immediately moved forward.
Nara shook all over, frightened by their appearance, yet desperately tried to move away.
She looked at them in terror, her eyes brimming with tears.
No, donât treat her like thisâŠ
No!
Nara sobbed inconsolably while waving her hands frantically but to no avail.
Her sign language and pleas for help to Austin and Lady Gill were completely ignoredâŠ
At that moment, she somewhat regretted it.
She didnât dare to acknowledge them out of stubbornness and had gotten herself into this situationâŠ
As she retreated, she bumped into the wall behind her.
Bodyguards approached with lustful smiles, each one touching their chins while staring at her.
Nara crouched in horror, trying to push these people away, but it was useless!
Someone grabbed her arm and yanked her up forcefully while other hands began to touch her.
Nara struggled violently.
But she was no match for their strengthâŠ
She wept in despair, her mouth opening and closing, tasting what seemed like the flavor of rust in her throatâŠ
Donât!
Mom! Brother!
Donât!
As those words rushed into Naraâs head, she heard a âsnapâ as her sleeve was torn off. She finally cried out.
âMom, I, I am Barbara!â
