After all these years, Loraine had returned to the village radiant and successful, yet she was still being harassed like this. Marco couldn't help but dread the ordeals Loraine must have suffered in the past.

The idea of Lillie seeking Judie’s help was laughable. If anyone was going to find Judie, it would be him to hold her accountable for Loraine’s past sufferings.

Lillie finally registered that the man accompanying Loraine was not one to be trifled with. She glanced warily at them and asked, “What do you want? I'm warning you, Judie won't let you off lightly...” Before she could complete her sentence, Lillie’s voice faltered, her gaze fixating on something with a look of avarice and longing in her eyes.

Loraine followed Lillie’s gaze to her own wrist, where she sported a simple white gold ladies’ wristwatch, a piece that easily cost two to three hundred thousand dollars. She had chosen it nonchalantly to match her attire.

Yet, gauging from Lillie’s expression, Loraine was certain of what she was coveting. Lillie had her eyes on the watch.

Greedy individuals, albeit repugnant, were often simple to control.

With a knowing smile, Loraine delicately removed the wristwatch.

Loraine teasingly brandished the watch before Lillie and asked, “So, are you willing to tell me where Judie is now?” A flicker of hesitation passed through Lillie’s eyes, but she remained mute.

With a raised eyebrow and a relaxed voice, Loraine prodded, “This watch is worth two or three hundred thousand dollars, which is practically pocket change to me. Give me Judie’s location, and it's all yours.” Upon hearing this, Lillie’s eyes sparkled with unmistakable greed, and she involuntarily Licked her lips, her determination faltering.

“How...how can this watch be so pricey? You're trying to trick me!” Loraine scoffed derisively, “Didn't you accuse me of ensnaring some wealthy men? Surely, twenty thousand dollars is nothing much, right?” To most residents of this small town, twenty thousand dollars could equal a year's salary, but for Loraine, it was as negligible as twenty dollars.

Fuelled by jealousy, Lillie was now convinced that Loraine had indeed enticed some rich men.She could't help but wonder why the same fortune hadn't befallen her — she was attractive as well. Taking advantage of Lillie’s momentary distraction, Loraine sneered at her, “Well, suit yourself if you refuse to speak.” Saying this, she began to pocket the watch.

Aghast, Lillie blurted out in desperation, “Wait! I'll talk! Judie is at home, but not in the same place as before .After you left, she and her family moved to a new villa on the finest plot of land in the village!” Regaining some of her brash confidence thanks to the perceived affluence of Judie’s family, Lillie taunted, “Don’t get too cocky,

Loraine. Just because you've been away for a while ose mean you've hit the big time.Jdie may be faring better than you now!”
