Chapter 2 "Scarlett, you..." Rhett stared at me in shock. Because he knew that in my past life, at that moment, I had desperately wanted to be rescued, desperately wanted to leave this hellhole. But now... | ignored his complex, guilt ridden gaze and appeared exceptionally calm and rational: "Sir, Ma'am, I'd like to try what it feels like to be an only child. I don't want the adoptive family to have other children, so thank you." Mr. and Mrs. Butler were stunned, their faces showing regret. When Ashley knew she was about to be taken away, she deliberately walked up to me. he tilted her head up slightly, revealing a spoiled and smug smile. I told you, Scarlett O'Hara, you can't compete with me. I'm going to become a rich family's young lady. As for you, stay here and suffer obediently. You can only lame yourself for being too stupid-you didn't even expose my lies!" shley left with a smile. fter she left, a dazed, handsome young man emerged from the shadows in the corner. hett looked like his worldview had been shattered. He never expected that Ashley wasn't the pure, innocent little pitiful creature he thought she was. He neve spected she could say such... shameless things. e looked at me with a complex expression, his eyes pleading for help. understood him-he was depending on me, hoping I would come forward to comfort him. ut I chose to ignore him and turned to leave. Scarlett." paused. You've also returned, haven't you?" didn't answer. Scarlett, I'm sorry. You understand-Ashley is still young. She'll change in the future." Oh, okay." I smiled. What did this have to do with me anyway? I didn't want any more entanglements with them in the future. Scarlett!" Rhett panicked, stepping forward to grab my hand. He searched all his pockets and pulled out some cash. "Take this first. This time I've wronged ou-I owe you. Within two weeks... no, five days, three days, I'll definitely find a way to get you out of here." No need." Scarlett, I will save you, wait for me!" Rhett left in a hurry-not because he wouldn't give me a chance to refuse, but because Ashley had fallen in the distance and cried out in pain. I smiled. Of course. Fortunately, I no longer held any expectations for Rhett. After Ashley was taken away, I don't know what she said to the director before leaving. In this life, the orphanage director was even more vicious, his methods more disgusting, and his threats nearly overwhelmed my ability to resist. Three days passed. Five days passed. Two weeks... a month passed... Rhett still hadn't come. And I, risking having my arm broken alive, managed to record video evidence of the director's crimes and successfully contacted the police and reporters. When the orphanage director was taken away by police, the little boys who had always been favored by the director surrounded me. "Scarlett O'Hara, it was you, wasn't it, you ungrateful wretch." "I'll beat you to death! The director's been arrested-what are we supposed to do now? Are you going to let us starve to death too?" "Kill her! Kill Scarlett O'Hara, this loose-tongued bitch!" "Kill her!" struggled to protect my injured arm and head, in too much pain to fight back. had anticipated this day would come. Because the five boys beating me were all the director's biological children-of course they would defend their father. uddenly, when the leader picked up a stone to smash against my head, someone instantly flashed in front of me. he stone came down. Ah!" A scream rang out. hett was injured protecting me. (0) (0)
