I Came From Ashes

At the end of June, a sudden rainstorm flooded the entire Cloud Sea City.

At the riverside on a rainy night, a car stopped in front of an inconspicuous cargo ship.

A man in a black raincoat got off, dragged a bloody girl out of the trunk, and threw her on the ground.

"Goods for you."

Tired of the waiting, the boatman found her half-dead and swore, "Damn, are you kidding me? How am I supposed to sell such a dying thing?"

"Judith Pate is no low-class goods that you can only sell her blood and kidneys."

The man pulled her hair, revealing her immature yet delicate face.

"Given her appearance and your connections, you can make a fortune by selling her to a noble family or at least, a brothel. This is a lucrative deal."

The boatman hadn't expected such fine goods, and a glint flashed across his eyes.

"Judith is the young lady of the Pate family. If people found out, we might spill the beans and give you away..."

The man sneered and tossed over a suitcase, "Here is 500,000 yuan in cash as your hush money. I don't care how you deal with her but will not see you again!"

"Loud and clear!"

Judith heard everything, struggled to open her eyes, and questioned the man with sobs, "Brother, why... why are you doing this to me..."

Not in her wildest dreams had she expected such a conspiracy on her 14th birthday party.

Her brother cut her tendons while her father and a strange woman just looked on.

"Why?"

All of a sudden, a gentle voice penetrated the rain and reached Judith's ears coldly.
