Chapter 255 It Left
When Holly, who had been scolded but didn't react, heard this, she froze.
After regaining her senses, she ran to the girl in front of her and forcefully grabbed her shoulders.
"Where did you drive it away to... Where!?"
The girl showed disdain and forcefully pushed Holly away.
Holly stumbled and fell to the ground, her clean skirt stained with mud and dust.
The children burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! Look at her pitiful state!"
"She shouldn't have worn such nice clothes in the first place!"
The girl raised her chin.
"Do you want to know where the dog went?
"If you're willing to kneel down and be my horse, maybe I'll tell you.”
"Yeah! Hurry up and be our horse!"
Tears welled up in Holly's eyes as she clenched her lips, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
She didn't want to lose her companion that she had relied on for a year. She wanted to find it!
Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Holly slowly closed her eyes.
Her knees gave way, and she knelt straight away.
But—
Before she touched the ground.
Her arm was grabbed.
She was forcefully pulled up.
"Huh?" Holly turned around in surprise.
She saw Luann standing behind her, accompanied by the annoying bully, Adolph, like everyone else in front of her, who liked to bully her.
"What are you doing?" Luann's voice was pleasant but without any fluctuations.
"I..." Holly was speechless.
"Weren't you here to find your companion?" Luann's gaze swept over everyone present.
They watched Luann, who was elegant and dressed in a beautiful gown, with an unmistakable look of jealousy on their faces.
Her pristine white princess gown draped to the ground, adorned with scattered diamonds and exquisite embroidery patterns.
Adolph sighed deeply, feeling somewhat sorry for the dress.
It had been meticulously crafted by dozens of tailors specifically chosen by the head of the household, and although the scattered diamonds may not have seemed impressive, they were quite expensive.
And only Luann from the Left family had the honor to wear it.
Even Williams had only casually customized a batch of clothes to send over.
Only Luann had every piece of clothing, pants, and shoes personally inspected by the head of the household, overseeing their completion one by one.
"Where's your companion?" asked Luann.
Holly lowered her head in distress and replied, "They threw them away..."
Luann looked at the little girl.
"Please give it back to us."
The little girl hesitated for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Look how interesting she is! Give it back to them?"
"Did you carve your name on the dog?
"Is it yours just because you say so?
"What if I say the dog is ours?"
Holly whimpered softly.
"Please, I beg you, give it back to me...
"Little White is really important to me!"
It was her only source of courage during her time in endless darkness.
The girl lifted her chin.
"I'll say it again, if you want to know where it is, get on the ground and be our horse!
"Otherwise, you'll never find it!"
Adolph couldn't help but pinch his ear.
"Chirping like birds, they’re so noisy."
"Little one, we came out secretly in the first place. We've been outside for too long, be careful not to anger the head of the household."
Luann nodded.
"In that case, let my brother take care of it."
Adolph grinned, hooking his arm around Luann's shoulder.
He bent down, flicking her nose with his finger.
"Let's make a deal, the matter of your birthday banquet dress is now dismissed."
"Fine."
Adolph finally relaxed, stretching lazily.
"I really don't like bullying children.
"But there's no choice, you guys wasted my precious sister's time."
As soon as his words fell, Adolph's body suddenly rushed out.
Holly only felt her vision blur.
All she heard were cries of pain as the children instantly fell to the ground, writhing in agony.
Adolph grasped the girl by her collar, lifting her up to eye level.
His sharp surgical knife rested against her neck.
"I'll give you a chance.
"Where is that dog?"
The girl looked at him in terror, trembling.
"You...you...
"If you dare to bully me, the headmistress won't let you off!"
Adolph's face showed a hint of impatience.
"Tsk."
The entire orphanage relied on the investment of the benefactor to survive.
In other words, without the benefactor's money, how could the orphanage feed these children?
They would have starved long ago!
Adolph moved his hand downwards.
"Ah! Blood! It's bleeding!" The girl panicked and shouted as she looked at the wound on her arm, her voice particularly miserable.
"If you don't speak up, the next cut will be your neck," Adolph said calmly.
The girl trembled all over.
"I'll talk! I'll talk!
"I threw that dog into the filthy river!"
Holly's body shook and she hurriedly ran toward the location.
Luann followed closely.
Adolph squinted his eyes.
"She's young but quite ruthless."
The girl did not dare to respond.
Adolph let go of her and caught up with Luann.
The three of them searched around the filthy river for a long time until they finally found Little White in a muddy corner.
Adolph raised an eyebrow in surprise, "A black dog named Little White?"
Holly cried as she held Little White. Its condition was not good and was barely breathing.
Feeling the warmth, it weakly opened its eyes and looked at Holly before rubbing against her weakly.
"Luann, what should we do...what should we do...I don't want it to leave me...don't want to..."
Holly sought help from Luann.
Adolph took a step forward, took a quick look, and said, "It's beyond saving."
Luann grabbed his sleeve forcefully, "Let's go to the pet hospital."
Adolph had originally wanted to say that it would be useless even if they went, but seeing Luann's determined gaze, he had no choice but to agree.
The result was the same.
Little White had already passed away on the way there.
After an examination at the pet hospital, the staff said, "This dog is already very old, and staying in the filthy river overnight, it couldn't hold on."
Tears fell from Holly's eyes, "It's all my fault...I killed it..."
Adolph offered rare comfort, his voice gentle. "The doctor said it was already old, even without this incident, it probably..."
"Alright, alright, I will help you find a good place to bury Little White."
Luann looked at Holly's sad appearance, held onto Adolph's hand, and walked out.
"To the welfare center?"
Luann pursed her lips, "Let's handle it according to Big Brother's approach, I don't know what else to do."
"Don't worry, I will teach her a lesson."
Luann lowered her eyes.
"But even so, her Little White won't come back."
