Chapter 127 The Dowry of Five Thousand Dollars
Susanna heard the words of this middle-aged man, and she thought Grace and Andrew's actions were really ridiculous.
In a society governed by law, did they think they had the right to control her marriage?
Did they think she had no ability to resist?
At this moment, Dick rushed out and pushed the man away. "What are you doing? If you dare to cause trouble again, I will call the police."
The middle-aged man sat on the ground. "Grace and Andrew took five thousand dollars from me and agreed to my engagement with you; That is my savings accumulated over many years. You must come home with me and bear children!"
Susanna looked coldly at the middle-aged man on the ground. "Are you crazy? I have cut off ties with Grace and Andrew, what does their money have to do with me?"
"I don't care; anyway, you are a family. Your family took my money, so you are my wife." the middle-aged man countered.
Dick snorted, "Now it is a society governed by law. Susanna has never agreed to this. You cannot force her to make a decision. You better leave, or we will call the police."
"Just call the crops; my money has already been given out. If I can't take her away, then I might as well die here."
Susanna picked up the broom next to her and smashed it towards the middle-aged man. "Fine, then let's all die together today!"
Only did the middle-aged man was frightened and ran away in a hurry did Susanna put down the broom in her hand.
Dick beside her looked stunned. "Susanna, you were quite fierce just now."
"I have more experience dealing with these rural people. "Susanna answered.
Susanna's expression was not good. "I didn't expect they use such despicable means."
Dick suggested, "Susanna, don't be afraid. Even if you report this, you won't get into trouble because it's not you who took the money, but your foster parents."
Susanna said with a pity, "I know, but I have caused trouble for the studio again."
After saying this, Dick patted her head. "Susanna, don't say that. Aren't we friends? Shouldn't we help each other?"
Susanna felt a bit uncomfortable, taking a step back to avoid Dick's hand. "Dick, I have to go busy first."
"Go ahead." Dick said.
Dick looked at Susanna's resistant attitude, sighing silently in his heart, she was really not easy to deal with.
But it was okay; he had patience all the way.
After Susanna returned to her seat, she remembered the middle-aged man who had caused trouble just now. If her foster parents really took his money, he would definitely not give up easily.
She knew that there were still illegal marriage transactions going on.
When she left the office building after work, a man suddenly rushed over and tried to grab her arm. "Darling, you're off work, come home with me."
Susanna was already alert, as sidestepped directly, looking at the other person warily. "I warn you not to come near me; I have no relationship with you. You go find whoever took your money."
"Your parents took my money; of course you should become my wife according to the agreement between me and them. Are you trying to back out? I'm telling you, no way!"
"Susanna!" Dick shouted.
Dick ran over and stood beside her. "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
The next moment, the middle-aged man waved his hand, and several ragged men emerged from behind the bushes, all surrounding Susanna.
Seeing this scene, Dick was a bit scared, but he also felt it was his best opportunity, so he continued to warn. "Don't come over, it's a society governed by law now, there are cameras everywhere. Do you think you can get away with it? Trash like you from this kind of society should stay in the countryside and die in the mountains, don't come out to embarrass yourselves in this lifetime."
Just as he finished speaking, Dick's head was fiercely hit.
Seeing Dick's head bleeding, Susanna panicked. "Dick, are you okay?"
Dick fell directly to the ground.
Susanna tried to take out her phone to call the police, but she was taken away directly with her hands and fee tied up.
An old van was parked nearby, into which she was abruptly shoved. It was then she realized they'd come prepared this time. She had been careless.
Susanna looked at the middle-aged man who got into the front seat. "It's illegal for you to take me away. My family will find me soon."
The middle-aged man snorted, "Don't worry, my sweetheart, when you arrive at our place, no one can take you away. There were people who had been found before, and in the end, they had no choice."
"Gavin, congratulations on buying such a beautiful wife. Women from city are different, you will definitely have smart and good-looking children in the future."
The middle-aged man smiled proudly. "Of course, I will definitely have several children; otherwise I would be unworthy of my five thousand dollars."
Susanna listened from behind, feeling desperate all over. She could only hope that her brothers would find out soon and come to rescue her.
She had to stay calm, not to be too impulsive and get hurt.
She had a baby in her belly, she had to be careful.
The van went straight out of the city onto the highway, and the destination was obvious, to take her back to his current residence as soon as possible.
Soon, it was dark.
Susanna dared not close her eyes, being afraid that she would be in an unfamiliar place if she fell asleep and woke up.
After an unknown period of time, the van stopped on an unknown country road.
The group of people got off to eat and rest.
Gavin looked back at her. "Have something to eat. As long as you behave well, I will treat you well. Don't worry; although our village is not as prosperous as the big city, it's not bad either."
Susanna looked at the bread he handed her and said directly. "I want milk."
Gavin said, "Sure, as long as you are willing to be with me."
Susanna sat up straight, wanting him to untie her, but he was cautious and refused to do so.
She had no choice but to eat first, after all, the baby in her belly couldn't go hungry.
Not long after, the van continued on its way.
Susanna was jolted so much that she soon fell asleep.
When she woke up, it was already the next morning. She looked around at the mountains, with no signs of modern urbanization.
Susanna's heart sank again, asking directly, "Are we there yet?"
"Not yet, we still have to cross two more mountains. To avoid being found, we can only take these small roads. Although it's a bit far, it's safe!" answered Gavin.
Susanna believed that her brothers would definitely find her.
At that moment, the van suddenly heard the roar of helicopters.
