"Oh, my baby!" cried Mira in distress."Quick, Peter, we have to carry her. Let's take her to the downstairs garage. We need to be very careful. I'll gather some of her things and pack mine as well. We're leaving tonight." she kneels and hugs Sarah.Peter gently picks up Sarah, being cautious not to attract attention. "We mustn't draw any suspicion. Let's check if there are people outside and use the fire escape."Mira nods in agreement, giving her OK sign. They stealthily move through the hall, hiding behind the large plants and furniture whenever someone passed by."Hey, Jane, have you seen Mira?" asked another maid who was dressed modestly for the party."No, besides Madame Huifen hired a lot of people to work tonight because she wants first-class service," Jane replied while dabbing her makeup."At least we get to take part in the back. Perhaps Mira has her own date," the other maid mocked, and they all laughed.Mira fumed with frustration. "Oh, those creeps. Wait till I get my ha
At the debutante's party, anticipation built as the Toast Master's voice resonated through the hall, announcing the moment everyone had been eagerly waiting for.Martin flashes a celebrity smile to everyone including to Adelle, "Sweetie, you have to enjoy my arms, while your debut ball lasts." He approaches her and angles out his right left arm to his princess.Adelle, didn't get his exact point but she smiles at him anyway. She thoughts, what matters, one of the most sought after rich bachelors in Shanghai is here with him. "I'm glad you came for me, thank you."Martin replies while waving at the guests, "Don't imagine things my dear.""Really? Obviously, you are enjoying every moment with me, as you did that night before." She flashes her sweetest smile, too, and leans on his shoulders for a perfect shot."Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests of the marvelous village, please gather around as we proudly present the debutante of the year, the radiant Ms. Adelle Wei Lui. She is wearin
Peter all tied up turns to Mira, and both of them wonder. Then they saw two guys helping them out… Then another two came. A man in full-combat flashes his light, "You're safe now. We'll get you the medical attention you need." Mira relieve and let out a sigh, "Thank you, thank you so much! Peter grateful, "You arrived just in time." "Help, my baby, Please, help Sarah." Mira cries incessantly to the two men in full battle gear. Peter tells them, "Please, save her, They took here at the cabin." The two looks at each other and the other one calls someone to direct them at the cabin. Inside the dusty old cabin… "Well, what do we have here?" She sneers at Sarah all tied up in a chair. "For starters, this won't take us long, Let's do something about your face, shall we?!" Huifen laughs at the poor girl the removes the cloth inside her mouth. She wears on iron knuckles and delivers menacing punches on Sarah, each on her eyes twice, then two punches again that cut through her slend
"This is a private property, you are causing distress! I own this place!" Huifen shouts at them. A uniformed man seizes her hands and pinned her down, "Lady, stop what you are doing. Our boss is going to punish you terribly," "I am the boss here, dumb-ass! Ouch! My gown you will rip it off. This costs millions!" Then the lights were on at the cabin. Huifen saw the badly beaten Sarah being helped by uniformed men. "That girl is an outlaw, she stole from me so she is beaten, so badly. Don't help her, instead punish her more!" she tells them like a mad woman. Sarah's feet were untied from the chair by the uniformed men. "Thank you, she said as she is bleeding. In a very soft almost whispering voice she asked, "Did you my friends in the woods? Please, help them." "Young Lady Master, they are safe now." "Chairman Feng, we're approaching the location," the pilot informed him. The sight of the sprawling estate that belongs to Ms. Daisy Zang Lui filled Chairman Feng with a mix of anxie
Martin was enveloped with an overwhelming sense of fear, the likes of which he had never experienced before. Witnessing such inhumane torture at the hands of Chairman Feng, he now knew better than to ever cross paths with them. The scenes of brutality and mutilation, especially towards Huifen, and her lover, were etched in his mind, haunting him even as he tried to compose himself. He looks on Alfred Lui as he goes on crawling to the Chairman, and kissed his bloodied shoes. "Master, please, forgive me. I was greedy and weak. I never even did something to solve the mystery of my sister's death. I take the blame for my weakness. Please, Chairman, spare Adelle. She may not be my daughter, and has done meanness to Sarah, she is still young to suffer and die." "So, tell me, Alfred. All these years, you haven't learned what family means? He looks down at Alfred with disgust. "Your sister sacrificed so much for you. She was enslaved, sold and tortured by Lao clan just to earn money for
Two months later...After recuperation followed by her colorful graduation, Sarah moved to Feng Villa in Shanghai's billionaire village, as promised by her granduncle.It is a three-level mansion with all the high technology facility. It one of the very rare designs within the city.It's far larger than the Lui Estate now named as Ms. Daisy Lui Feng Estate, with Mira serving as the landlady and her assistant Peter. They are no longer servants, but the trusted managers of the estate.As for her friend Emily, she is always in touched with her, and they will be attending the same university with the help of his granduncle, of course.She has been training under Master Lui Wang, the head of the Feng and Xiang clans' security for five decades. Despite his age, his character and strength are still amazing in his mid 70s.After a month of training, she is ready to take her skills to the next level.They shifted their focus to intense marksmanship training, and Sarah's unwavering dedication
In a quiet corner of the Feng mansion, everything was calm and peaceful. The air carried a sense of tranquility and devotion, as if time itself had slowed down.But suddenly, the rooftop, a normally serene spot for contemplation, became the stage for an unexpected event.Out of nowhere, a group of enormous-built men dressed in dark suits walked up on the rooftop, moving swiftly and purposefully. Their footsteps were silent against the cool tiles as they approached the edge.Without wasting a moment, they skillfully slipped through an open window, their intentions shrouded in mystery.Inside the study room, an atmosphere of scholarly focus prevailed. Two female-security and a personal servant were engrossed in their readings, together with their young Lady Master.The sudden intrusion jolted them out of their concentration, and their eyes met with startled unity.The servants exchanged worried whispers, their voices hushed but urgent. "Who are these intruders, and why did they come to
"Why don't you just ask Martin out?" Emily suggested to her friend Sarah as they trained together in kickboxing at the Feng mansion gym. They had been sparring partners for almost two months, and Emily had noticed that Sarah had lost a lot of weight during that time. Her dedication to a healthy diet was evident as she sweated through their intense workouts. Emily admired her friend's determination and couldn't help but feel inspired to follow a healthier lifestyle herself. Breathing heavily, Sarah took the flask of water from one of her assistants, "Thank you, Claire," she said gratefully. Claire, a diligent young woman who had been working at the mansion for several years, smiled back at her and offered a towel to wipe her face. "As you were saying, I don't think that's a great idea. He's like a brother to me. And I must tell you something, he is betrothed to the gorgeous Lady Catherine Shand," Sarah explained as she took a drink from the flask. Emily's eyes widened, and her mou
