Crystal opened her hand and saw that it was a wrinkled 20-dollar note. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Sir, you don’t have to give me money. It’s just a small matter for me… By the way.”
She frowned. “I just heard you say that these three hundred dollars are your life-saving money?” The old man’s fingers trembled, and there were tears in his eyes. He said in a hoarse voice, “I am… farmer in the countryside. The village I stay in is remote, and I thought that I wouldn’t come to such a big city even at the cost of my life…”

“I came here for my daughter.” The old man choked with sobs. “I only have one daughter. She had been admitted to a university in the city, which was the pride of everyone in the village. I didn’t dare to disturb her, so I worked hard to farm. I wanted to give her more money so that she wouldn’t be laughed at by her classmates…”
Speaking of this, he burst into tears. “But my daughter was sensible. She never asked for my money. She worked to support herself, got a scholarship, and didn’t let me worry about her. But two years ago, she suddenly disappeared. I called her school and was told that she went abroad… I thought it was good for her to go abroad since she could learn new things. But a few days ago, someone suddenly called me…” He couldn’t even stand still. He squatted on the ground and cried like a child. “And told me that my daughter is dead. She died two years ago!”
Everyone was shocked.
Anaya and Crystal quickly supported the old man. Anaya asked. “How can that be?”
The old man choked with sobs. “The other person said that when my daughter was working part-time, a rich man took a fancy to her. My daughter didn’t agree to be with him, and that rich man…did that…”
There was no need to say more.
The old man wiped his tears and said, “I came here this time to seek justice for my daughter. Originally. there were several other victims who agreed to file a lawsuit together, but in the end, they all received the money and were unwilling to sue the man anymore…”
He was so angry that he pounded on the ground. “That’s human life! A living human life! How can I drop the lawsuit?! How can I?”
The more Crystal listened, the more she felt that this matter sounded a little familiar. She frowned and said. “Sir, is that rich man called… Cyril?”
The old man suddenly raised his head and said. “Yes! It’s this name! They all say that his family background is amazing. He has an elder brother who is the local emperor here. People like us are just like ants! Young lady…”
He hurriedly grabbed Crystal’s hand. “Do you know this person?”
Crystal, “…”
Not only do I know him, but I’m also the fiancee of the local emperor you mentioned.
Antony said with a smile, “Not only do they know each other, but Cyril should also call her sister-in-law.” The old man.”…”
Crystal cleared her throat. “I was wondering why Bonnie has been so well-behaved recently. She didn’t come to me for trouble. It turns out that she plans to solve this problem in this way.”
She helped the old man stand up and said. “Sir, I do know Cyril. Speaking of your daughter, that matter has something to do with me…”
She thought for a moment and said, “Let’s go eat first. After that, we’ll meet those families who have decided to drop the lawsuit.”
The old man acted as if he had seen a savior. “Young lady… Young lady, you’re such a kind person!” Crystal smiled. “It’s not that I’m kind.”
She just didn’t want to see the guilty people escape the punishments because of money and power. The bodies of the victims were buried, their families were crying, while the murderers were still roaming around freely.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
