He had no choice but to be patient and hear her out. It would be fine as long as she was willing to tell him where Helena was.
The expression on Belinda's changed from a grimace to a deep misery. "After I had grown up, my family and my father could not even provide me with enough money to live. However, the Kelley family still wanted to continue putting on a fade! What in this huge family could be used to put on a facade?
"Once, I actually witnessed my damned father asking my mother to seduce a big shot that would be of use to him. My mother was not willing to do so. She said that the big shot was old, balding, and had a big belly. His hair had fallen off so much that there were not many left on his head. She just wouldn't go! However, what did my father say? He said, 'You were a bitch that I had bought out of that kind of place, to begin with! I am only asking you to resume working your previous job! Why are you pretending to be all noble and virtuous! If you don't go, let your daughter go!' Without a choice, my mother went to accompany that man that night."
She continued. "That night, I kept waiting for my mother to return. I was thinking if she had come home crying, I would comfort her. I wanted to bring her along and run away. However, after she came home, she violently beat me up. She said if she had not been pregnant with me back then, she would not have married into the Kelley family. She said was living with great freedom in the past. I was the one who had burdened her. She kicked me with her high heels and asked me to fuck off! The further the better! That night, I went to the house of the classmate I was closest with. She was also from a wealthy noble family. However, once she heard that I wanted to bring my mother along and run away, and once she heard I actually did not even have enough money for my living expenses, that classmate of mine immediately kicked me out. She did not want to hang out with poor people. That night, not only have I been violently beaten up by my mother, but I was even kicked out by my classmate. From that moment on, I knew that if I had left the Kelley family, I would no longer be a lady from a wealthy family anymore. I may even be worse than a criminal on the street. If I were to stay with the Kelley family, I would also be living like a beggar, but I would be able to have the reputation of being from a wealthy noble family. From then on, I have learned to stand on my own two feet. I was only sixteen that year. Vincent, don't you think I am very outstanding?”
"Are you done?" Vincent asked.
"Mm-hmm." Belinda nodded.
"Can you let me see Helena?" Vincent asked.
"I can let you listen to her voice," Belinda said.
Upon saying that, she called a number. The call was picked up very quickly on the other end. Helena's miserable cries could be heard coming from the other end of the call, "No, don’t come over. Don't come over!'
"Helena, Helena, where are you? I am Vincent. Where are you? I’ll come to your rescue." Vincent's eyes were red from glaring.
"Vincent, Vincent, come and save me.
Hurry up and save me...Vincent..." Helena's cries were extremely miserable.
"I’ll be right over!" As soon as Vincent finished his sentence, Belinda ended the call.
Vincent grabbed Belinda's clothes and glared at her viciously. "What do you want? Say it! Hurry up and say it!"
Belinda straightened her clothes and said slowly, "Vincent, marry me. I promise that your sister will be unharmed."
"What did you say?" Vincent thought that he did not hear it clearly.
"Get married to me within a week, and I promise that your sister will be unharmed. " Belinda repeated.
