At worst, she would only face death.
Now that Aino was with her father, whom she had grown close to, Sabrina could leave this world with no regrets.
As such, she didn’t make a single sound as the four men tried to restrain her.
"Saddle..." Granduncle Scott called out, his eyes beginning to tear.
Being the lonely old man he was, Granduncle Scott did not dare to get on the wrong side of rich business people like Coral, who had power and influence in the town.
"Granduncle," Sabrina said calmly, "I'm sorry for troubling you."
"Bring her back to the county town." Heeding Coral’s order, the four men immediately walked out, dragging Sabrina along with them. The other villagers simply watched on as it all unfolded.
In the end, the quiet and hardworking ones didn't say anything. Being powerless themselves, they were afraid of crossing the wrong people.
They could only sigh.
Those who were standing in the crowd whispered to each other, "Sigh, if you don’t have many family
members and are not powerful yourself, you'll always end up getting bullied."
"Sabbie is quite unlucky too. She escaped from this town and hid for more than ten years, so why is she back now? She shouldn't have come here."
Another villager added, "She must have had a hard time living outside. Why else would she come back? I heard from the Lynn girl who came here five or six times before that Sabrina gave birth to a child. I wonder how the child is doing now. I’m guessing that Sabbie must have gotten on the wrong side of the rich Lynn girl."
"Is that why the Lynn girl and Coral are working together now to get rid of Sabrina?"
"Of course! Poor child.”
"Shut up! We better keep quiet. Carol has people working for her everywhere in the county town. We can't hope to fight her."
