Chapter 1533: Chapter 1533: Thirst
Food not only fills the stomach but also makes people feel relaxed.
The guests ate and drank while chatting casually, embodying a sense of settling in since their arrival.
As more people joined the conversation, the atmosphere eased up, no longer so lifeless.
However, so maintained their vigilance, refraining from touching any food or water here, such as Alexander Sumrs, Purple Sumrs, and Gavin Graves.
Cherry wanted to drink the juice on the table but was stopped by Gavin Graves, who worried about the cleanliness of the drinks. Cherry had no choice but to lean sullenly against him, listening to the idle chat around her.
The topics of chatter mostly revolved around Gene.
A middle-aged woman who seed to know so inside information sneered at her companion, “Don’t be fooled by his civilized appearance. Among the Stan Brothers, he’s the most disgusting! Do you know where the won the Stan Brothers play with co from? He finds them! He doesn’t even spare children—a bunch of scumbags! Best if they all just drop dead!”
“Keep your voice down.” Her companion glanced fearfully toward the balcony.
Gene remained alone on the balcony, occasionally drinking, occasionally making calls, occasionally lost in thought, seemingly unconcerned by the chatter about him.
“I heard he even handed over his own sister to win favor with Stan.”
“Oh my god, isn’t his sister also Stan’s brother’s sister?”
“It’s about the thrill of incest. I heard Gene got involved too… Later, the girl committed suicide.”
“Aren’t they afraid of karma?! It’s absolutely insane!”
Soone nearby overheard and joined in, saying, “If they were afraid of karma, they wouldn’t do such things… Have you heard about the Broken-Winged Angel incident?”
The group grew lively, shaking their heads.
“This matter happened over ten years ago; it was quite sensational. A girl reportedly had wings on her back like an angel. The girl herself was very cute, with blonde hair and blue eyes, but due to the wings on her back, she couldn’t attend school or make friends like normal children. Her parents wanted to have surgery to remove the wings. After consulting a doctor, they were inford that the surgery was extrely difficult and very expensive… Later, a reporter visited their ho, and the girl appeared on a TV show. Through national audience donations, they raised money for the surgery.”
Another person exclaid in surprise, “I rember this now! I know this story too! I donated quite a bit back then, but I heard that angel girl disappeared later, so the surgery didn’t happen. Everyone said the girl’s parents deliberately conned donations!”
“She really did disappear. Soone maliciously spread rumors and controlled public opinion. The girl’s mother couldn’t bear the blow and pressure, and took poison to commit suicide.”
The speaker looked aningfully toward Gene in the distance, “Do you know why the girl disappeared?… Gene offered a reward of 150 thousand in the black market. Soone captured the girl for him, then he had her auctioned at Under The Rose, urging the Stan Brothers to bid 1.5 million to buy her. This transaction not only pleased the brothers but earned him 135 thousand. Impressive, isn’t it?”
Soone sighed deeply, “That little girl was only 13… Falling into the Stan Brothers’ hands, I fear she didn’t even end up with a whole corpse.”
Unable to contemplate further, the middle-aged woman, fiddling with the salad on her plate, disgustedly put down her utensils upon hearing this.
Purple Sumrs leaned quietly against Alexander Sumrs, closing her eyes in discomfort, as if this could shield her from the world’s filth and gri.
Ti seed to drag on, the room’s stuffiness growing irritating.
Hunger is bearable, but thirst is truly unbearable.
Originally, the guests who had resisted touching the food saw that those around them did not show any ill effects after eating and drinking, thus eased their caution, picked up cups, and drank water to quench their thirst.
Cherry eagerly watched those people; she too was very thirsty.
“If you don’t mind… would you like to drink this?” The twins’ mother pulled a thermos out of her bag.
