Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 1155

"I told you not to resist. If you do, it's going to hurt. Why couldn't you just listen?"

The old woman bent down and harshly grabbed the woman's hair, causing the latter to groan in pain. Then, she pushed the woman back onto the bed.

She just cried quietly because her mouth was taped.

The old woman walked over to the two men by the door and grinned. "The women you found this time are really something, especially the one over there. She's very pretty. I think we can sell her for 68 thousand dollars."

Right away, one of the men thought that was too much. "68 thousand for one girl? Usually, they go for up to 13 thousand."

"Have you ever seen a girl as beautiful as her come here?" The old woman clicked her tongue. "I say we go higher. Maybe between 96 to 110 thousand."

The man tried to laugh it off. "That's way too much. No one around here can afford that."

He was wondering about making an offer himself since he was single. He could try to make things work and have Esther for himself.

But 68 thousand dollars was way out of his budget!

Besides, this area was remote and not very modern. The people were poor, making a living from farming or keeping animals. Being considered rich here meant having a few thousand dollars saved up, so asking for 96 to 110 thousand dollars for marriage was just unthinkable.

The man sighed, feeling defeated because the old woman was set on her decision. Even though Esther seemed like a possibility, he gave up the idea.
