"You little brat! I was wondering why you were never around, and here you are, doing this kind of thing! You're a disgrace!" The middle-aged woman marched over and yanked Freya's ear.
Freya winced in pain, her voice rushed with panic. "Mom, let go of me! Don't make a scene here. We can talk outside!" "Go outside? Are you kidding me? You can't let sman take advantage of you for free! Your brother's counting on saving up money to get married! If you do this, you're worth nothing. This man needs to take responsibility."

"If you don't hand over the money today, I'll make sure you regret it!" Freya clung to them, pleading, "Please, can we just go outside? I'm begging you!"

It was Bella.
"Ms. Eloise, please giveanother chance. I promise I won't do it again." "Bella, the moment you betrayed me, there was no going back.

"Sylvia, let's go." "Yeah." Sylvia followed Eloise down the hallway.
Along the way, she expressed her gratitude to Eloise. "Ms. Eloise, thank you for the video of Mr. Carmen. Without it, I wouldn't have a leg to stand on." Eloise looked puzzled. "You mean the video with those two women and Mr. Carmen? That wasn't me." "It wasn't you? Then who?" Sylvia asked, surprised.
Eloise glanced at her with a soft smile. "The woman in the video deliberately showed the gem to the camera. Someone clearly set this up." "Should we try to find those two women and ask them?" Sylvia furrowed her brow.
"Do you think you can? The Carmen family probably has people hunting them down already. If they find them, it'd be a miracle. Besides,
