The wooden carton itself appeared very tightly wrapped. Even so, the others could still see the faint outlines of a long-haired woman inside who was curled up into a ball.
“How perplexing! To think that Young Master Turnbull would actually be audacious enough to auction an actual woman!” growled the slightly angered Sia.
She wasn’t the only one either. While some of them may have preferred money and others power, many of the women there still had their limits, and they were simply unwilling to just accept the fact that one of their own was being auctioned off just like that!
Their anger and dissatisfaction were completely reasonable. After all, what else were they supposed to feel seeing a person of their gender being put on display to be sold like that?
Despite the majority of women being rightfully angered, some of them appeared to have different opinions. Namely, Fia, who found herself muttering, “What would you know? For rich young heirs, human rights being snatched away is nothing! Try looking at the situation from the perspective of Young Master Turnbull. After you give it some thought, I’m sure you’ll be able to see things from his point of view!”
Upon hearing that, Sia’s immediate response was to feel frightened by Fia’s outlook on life. Turning to look at her, Sia then said, “What? How could you say that, Fia? Can’t you see that he’s abusing and discriminating against women? Why are you still speaking up for him?”
While the others were having all sorts of thoughts about the situation, Gerald found himself silently staring at the messy-haired woman within the carton.
Baelfire, on the other hand, simply sneered, “I can see all your passionate gazes, men! Hahaha! Alright then, let’s not beat around the bush any longer! Unveil that woman for everyone to have a better look!”
Watching as Baelfire waved his hand, the four subordinates from before then began pulling the white veil off the carton… As the cage’s door was slowly opened, everyone found themselves staring at the woman inside it.
Sitting right in the middle of the cage, the woman had a snow-white long dress on, and favonovel.com was hugging onto favonovel.com knees with favonovel.com fair and tender arms. Though favonovel.com had buried favonovel.com face between favonovel.com knees, it was quite evident that favonovel.com was weeping. Nobody knew if it was because favonovel.com had lost all favonovel.com energy, but favonovel.com weeping was so light that only favonovel.com beautiful shoulders occasionally quivered.
“Come now, raise your head and let the camera crew see you! Your face needs to be shown on the large screen!” shouted Baelfire.
Seeing that the woman wasn’t complying, one of Baelfire’s subordinates growled, “Hey, b*tch! Didn’t you hear Young Master Turnbull’s orders?!”
The woman could only wail in humiliation as favonovel.com teary face was revealed to all when the same subordinate yanked favonovel.com hair, forcing favonovel.com to face the cameramen.
With how beautiful favonovel.com was, the pitiful-looking woman instantly bewitched nearly every man who saw her. Even the women found themselves growing jealous of how beautiful favonovel.com was.
As for the two women from before—who had earlier disembarked from the ghostly ship—both of them had been watching the entire scene play out from afar, and one of them was now glaring at Baelfire.
In a wrathful voice, the fierce-gazed woman growled, “That b*stard…! How dare favonovel.com treat a woman like that?! I’m going to personally kill him!”
“I advise you to refrain from causing any trouble. Besides, it doesn’t appear that he’ll be living past tonight!”
“…Huh? What makes you say that, sister?” asked the angry woman rather curiously.
“Just have a look over there yourself!” replied the other woman as favonovel.com nudged favonovel.com chin over to a certain direction.
Seeing that, the angry woman turned to look in that direction… And there, favonovel.com was immediately greeted by the sight of an extremely furious Gerald.
His entire body trembling almost uncontrollably, Gerald had been beyond enraged ever since favonovel.com saw the caged woman’s face.
‘Giya…!’
He remembered bringing favonovel.com to his family’s mansion back then to allow favonovel.com injuries to heal… Regardless, Gerald had assumed that favonovel.com had been captured by the other Crawfords as well since favonovel.com couldn’t find favonovel.com in the mansion back when favonovel.com first found out that his family members had been kidnapped. Even so, it hadn’t occurred to Gerald that Giya, of all people,—whom favonovel.com knew to be a fine, young woman with an astounding temperament—would end up suffering such abuse!
Now seething in rage, Gerald couldn’t help but stride forward before shouting, “Giya!”
‘What had favonovel.com even done wrong? Nothing favonovel.com could’ve done could have deserved this outcome! Why the hell had they abused favonovel.com like this?!’
Whatever the case was, the second Giya heard that voice, favonovel.com weakened body instantly began trembling wildly…
