Yarra’s eyes, which had long been devoid of light, welled up with tears. She dared not cry out
loud.
The note read “you guys,” not just “you.” This subtle distinction implied that Wynter had caught on to
her hint and noticed the cellar. Standing by the bed, her heart raced.
“My sister asked you to get a bag. Why are you taking so long?” Gary scowled impatiently.” What are
you looking at?”
Yarra’s scalp tingled, and she suddenly grabbed his hand. “Help me get out. Save me…
“Another episode of madness,” Gary scoffed as he snatched the bag away. He rummaged through it,
finding nothing but a box of silver needles and a piece of paper.
“She looks wealthy. Didn’t expect her to be so poor,” Gary remarked with a pout.
Yarra breathed a sigh of relief. She admired Wynter’s boldness and attention to detail. She wrote in
Eranian, and not Scandonese, probably to avoid detection.
Gary was academically hopeless. He couldn’t even understand simple words in Elmstian. Others didn’t
even graduate from primary school, so this was the safest approach.
However, Yarra was worried about Wynter’s situation, given that she was facing the Macintoshes. Yarra
clenched her fists anxiously.
She had tried to escape over 50 times in the two years she had been here but succeeded only three
times. The consequences worsened with each failed attempt. Havenlight County was too vast for her to
escape.
Given the Macintoshes‘ protection over their illicit activities, what hope did she have once she ventured
beyond the village? Yarra didn’t distrust Wynter. It was her firsthand experience that made her realize it
wasn’t that simple.
Unbeknownst to Yarra, Wynter was currently livestreaming, educating the public about ways to prevent
human trafficking.
Dickson couldn’t have imagined that she would be livestreaming, and the family was still blissfully
unaware of it.
As soon as Hubert entered the room, his eyes were glued to Wynter. Even without Fanny’s
introduction, Hubert knew exactly who he was going to meet today.
Wynter embodied everything he fantasized about–long legs, a slender waist, and a captivating face.
Hubert was originally reluctant to come over, but now he was glad he did.

No one in the village could compare to him. They were desperate for wives, resorting to dubious tactics
and deceiving young girls.
He, on the other hand, had no shortage of suitors lining up to marry into the prestigious Macintosh
family. But Hubert was picky. His preference for delicate and young virgins led to his string of failed
marriages.
While officially citing lost feelings as the reason for each breakup, in reality, he simply grew weary of his
spouses and sought new companionship.
His father advised him to settle down and avoid drawing attention from higher authorities, especially
with his impending promotion.
Hubert found his father’s advice sensible and, taking into account Wynter’s background as a trained
doctor from the city, he agreed to meet her. Now, faced with her ethereal beauty, he couldn’t help but
feel intrigued.

Hubert stepped forward, extending his hand toward her. “You must be the eldest daughter of Madam
Fanny who went missing,” he said. “I’m Hubert, pleased to meet you, my
“I feel sick! This is revolting!” a comment popped out.
“Don’t shake his hand, Dr. Genius! He looks sleazy!” another viewer added.
“He looks older than my dad! I can’t believe this, what did that matchmaker say?”
“She mentioned that his father is the village chief, surnamed Macintosh! Please help her, @
HavenlightCountySafeTourism and @ParadiseVillageSaviours!”
“Dr. Genius, please be safe! @HavenlightCountySafeTourism, why aren’t you responding yet?”
