A malicious smirk appeared on the old lady's face.

Anne was trembling with fright, reaching out to grab the old lady's leg. "Let me go. I'm alreadysomeone else's wife. I can't bear children for you. I-I have children myself. I have three children...""You gave birth to three children?” The old lady really could not tell that Anne had given birthbefore. She looked like a young maiden!

"How can we still want her?" Pud was even more disgusted

"What does giving birth to three children mean? It means she's really fertile! So forget it, and let'sjust put up with it! We're looking for a woman to have children. Since she's so fertile, she cancertainly bear three children for our Walton family," said the old lady.

Pud gave it a thought and agreed. Nothing else mattered as long as Anne could give him children.In their village, the value of women was to carry on the family line, and they had no status."Don't..you can't do this..." Anne shook her head anxiously.

"Be prepared. My son will come to sleep with you at night." The old lady kicked Anne's hand awayand left with Pud.

Before leaving, they even locked the door.

Anne groped for the door, but she could not open it no matter what.

"Open the door! Let me out! Please, I beg you! Let me go...I'm married, and I have a husband...""Open the door! Do you want money? I-I'll give you money..."

"Is there anyone out there? Help!"

Anne knocked on the door and cried.

However, no one responded to her.

Tired of crying and shouting, Anne curled up by the door, hugging herself tightly.

She could not see, had difficulty moving, and could not get out. What should she do?

She did not want to have sex with other men. No...

Anne thought, "Anthony, please don't be angry anymore. Bring me home... I'm so scared...”Anthony's people were still searching the village. They had checked several times, but they couldnot replace Anne.

Then, they searched along the road outside the village but still did not see Anne.

Humans could not travel as fast as cars, so it was impossible for Anne to run far. Hence, there wasonly one possibility left—Anne was still within the range of the village.

In case Anne hid in the bushes, the bodyguards stood by the bushes and controlled the drone whilewalking.

Not even an ant could escape their search.

The drone flew over the treetops, moved through the woods, and slid past the water.

Suddenly, the bodyguard saw a white leather shoe, and he stopped controlling the drone beforeturning it back again.

The bodyguard gave it a thought, and he became excited. "I found something!"

Anthony's body shook violently, and he hurried over. However, he only saw a shoe lying next to theriver in the drone video.

It was only discovered because of the angle.

"Mr. Marwood, that's Mrs. Marwood's shoe!" Ivan could tell at a glance.

Yet, why was the shoe in the river? Why were they unable to replace her...

A bad premonition spread in their hearts...

Ivan saw Mr. Marwood suddenly looking at the distant river. His expression was stiff, his repressedaura was full of tension, and his heavy breathing was trembling.

"Go and replace..." Anthony's voice was hoarse.

Ivan immediately arranged for his men to check the river.

They search inch by inch In the river, on the banks of the river, not missing any clues.

They hoped Anne deliberately threw a shoe as a cover-up rather than actually falling into the river...
