C1 Take Him Away!

It was late summer, and the weather was gloomy and heavy.

Estrella held an old umbrella and jumped over puddles with her toes.

The girl had a clean and clean face, and her skin was as white and smooth as jade. She had an outstanding appearance, and even though she was wearing casual clothes, she did not hide her good looks.

After walking in the alley for a few minutes, she walked into a shabby building.

When she opened the door, she saw four men sitting in the small room.

They had cigarettes in their mouths, and they were all wearing shorts. Their upper bodies were covered in dirty vests, and they looked sloppy. Two of them had tattoos on their arms.

The four men looked at her with evil eyes.

Estrella was stunned. "Uncle, who are you looking for? Did you walk into the wrong house?"

Their family had always depended on three women to survive, so they did not have many male acquaintances. Furthermore, even though Estrella had always felt good about herself, she still did not think that she had such a strong sense of affinity with the opposite sex. She could not believe that such a group of "strong and mighty" men would rush into her house to look for her.

The burly man was not happy. "I am only in my early thirties. Young lady, are you so beautiful that your big eyes are just decorations? Are you blind?" The burly man's face turned green again and again, and it took a long time for him to calm down. After calming down, he was not willing to talk to Estrella again, afraid that she would say something that would hurt his pride.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" She realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly corrected herself, "Big brother! Don't worry, it's fine if you're ugly. I'm blind, I'm blind …"

The shortest man looked at the photo in his hand and pointed at her, "Big brother, is this the daughter of Kate?"

"It doesn't seem to be. This girl is much better looking than this photo!" The eldest man felt that it did not seem like it.

The girl in the photo was also very pretty, but her sitting posture was so wretched that it looked like she was digging her feet. How could she be as pretty as the little girl in front of him?

Being praised for no reason, Estrella was overjoyed. She raised her wrist to look at the time and reminded her enthusiastically, "Aunt Kate and Aimee are on their way home."

"Alright, we'll wait a little longer. It's not good to find the wrong person." The eldest man shook the flesh on his body. Although they were not good people, they had to be righteous.

Her heart trembled as she asked weakly, "Who are you looking for?"

It was not a good thing to kidnap a little girl. The big man looked like he did not want to say anything, "Why is the little girl asking so much? Go do what you should do!"

The big man's photo looked familiar. She asked with her courage, "Big brother, what kind of beauty is in the photo in your hand? Is she your goddess? Can I take a look?"

"Alright, you can take a look at this. Isn't this the daughter of your Aunt Kate?" The boss was very generous, but the latter half of his sentence suddenly became gloomy. "That old woman, Kate, is very scheming. I think she's lying to me."

The hand that took the photo trembled, and the thin piece of paper floated to her feet.

She looked down and saw that not only her hands, but even her legs were trembling.

This photo was not Kate's daughter, Aimee. It was clearly her!

This photo was taken by Taylor when she first entered university. Although Taylor always said that this photo did not have one-tenth of her beauty, Estrella still thought that this was the best photo she had ever taken. However, the reason she thought so was because she had too few photos of herself.

When she had gotten the photo, she had been so happy, but now she was so sad!

Because she liked it so much, she had already put this photo in the only family photo album in her house. How could it suddenly appear in the hands of these people? A terrifying thought surfaced in her mind, but Estrella shook her head, unwilling to believe it.

She trembled all over, but she decided to run. "Big brother, I'm in a rush. Can I go to the bathroom first?"

The boss waved his hand and said, "Go ahead. I'm not stopping you."

Estrella immediately ran away, but no matter how hard she tried, her body was still in the same place.

"Big brother, you promised not to stop me!" Her voice trembled as she looked at the knife-scarred hand on her wrist.

"I said I wouldn't stop you from going to the bathroom, but I didn't say I wouldn't stop you from running away." The boss narrowed his eyes and revealed a dangerous light, "Kate lied to me. It seems that she and her daughter won't be able to come back tonight."

Damn it, but it wasn't me who took the money! Wasn't I the one who suffered the loss?

Without giving her a chance to struggle, the short-haired man knocked her out from behind.

—

Facing a table full of food and her own mother, Aimee was worried about Estrella. "Mom, are we really not going back tonight?"

Kate looked at her daughter and replied in an irrelevant tone, "Estrella is a good girl."

Aimee took out her phone and wanted to call Estrella.

"It's been so many years, and she has never called me mom."

Aimee's hand on her phone slowly relaxed. Her little daughter shrank into her mother's arms. "But sister is my adopted daughter after all."

Aimee's words made the guilt in Kate's heart lessen. "Yes, she is my adopted daughter." Aimee was her biological daughter, so it was obvious who she should choose between them.

She had spent so many years and so much effort and money to raise her. Now, it was time for her to repay her.

Aimee felt that something was wrong with her mother today. Her gaze fell on the black leather bag beside Kate. "Mom, you bought a new bag today?"

Kate held the bag nervously and hurriedly smiled. "Yes."

Aimee felt that something was strange with her expression. She took the bag when she was not paying attention.

Seeing that she couldn't hide the truth, Kate could only tell the truth.

"Mom, how could you do this? I have to save my sister!" Aimee couldn't understand it. The three of them had been living together happily. Why would her mother do such a thing for five hundred thousand yuan? Although her sister was adopted, they had been together for more than ten years and they had feelings for each other.

"Aimee, you are not allowed to go!" Kate hugged her daughter tightly and cried. "Mom has already taken the money!"

Aimee's legs froze and she couldn't move anymore.
