She turned to look at Cathleen.
Cathleen picked up the coffee on the table and sipped it: "Go on and tell them the truth of that year."
As if regaining courage from Cathleen, the old woman nodded: "Mrs. Swift, Yvonne's father is a famous gambler in our town. Because of gambling, all the house deposits at home have been lost, and he still owes debts."
"He is not only good at gambling, but also a rotten wife-beater. Yvonne's mother left everything at home and ran away because she couldn't stand being beaten by him again and again. Since then, she has never come back."
"Even so, Yvonne's father still gambles outside all day and owes more and more debts."
"He really couldn't afford it later, and even sold his own daughter. Yvonne was sold to us, and it is the daughter we bought for five thousand dollars."
Margot's face was blue. She pressed the armrest of the sofa tightly with one hand. She gnashed her teeth, "Then why did you say she was abducted?"
Looking down, the old woman did not dare to look into her eyes. "It was Yvonne who told us to say so. She said that if she went to the city and became the daughter of a rich family, she would give us a lot of money in the future."
"When we have money, we can buy a son."
"At that time, we were also blindfolded. When we heard her say this, we were interested."
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Swift, Mr. Swift." The old woman's husband buried his head and apologized. "We did it wrong. We shouldn't deceive you for money, which caused you to find the wrong daughter."
"We are here today to apologize and make amends."
"What did you say? Did Yvonne let you say those words to lie to us?" Patrick was so shocked that he couldn't believe.
