The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage

Since Plum was local, she returned for charity after getting rich.

On the other hand, the youth took interest in a patch of land, but the geezer who owned it refused to sell it. The youth then sent his men after him, but Plum happened to be there and intervened, and the youth's men were properly punished.

Furious, the youth had Plum kidnapped, consequences be damned.

"Not that long ago, you were lecturing my men and bragging how you're scared of no one. What about now?"

The youth laughed. "TV shows and the like have really brainwashed you. Did you think you're untouchable just because you're rich and well-connected? See, the people in Shanton are just cowards, but in this place, we'll do anything to get what we want. And I assure you, you'll pay for what you did!"

"Not worried you'd get caught?" Plum spat.noveldrama

"Actually, I am." The youth laughed. "But so what? You won't ever be seen again. Hell, I'm really looking forward to how you'll suffer when you're sold off to some third-world country!"

Plum turned pale in fear, and the youth laughed gleefully. "No, wait—I guess I'll teach you some manners before I sell you off! The very thought excites me... the high and mighty girlboss becoming a victim of my whims! Hahaha!"

Even as the youth laughed in delight, Plum closed her eyes in despair, speechless.

Never did she think that such scum dwelled in a remote corner such as this, and his goon was so powerful that he single-handedly beat dozens of her bodyguards.

The youth then asked, "I'm curious, Ms. Zitch... Would you have stopped me before if you'd known this would happen?"

Plum opened her eyes and laughed coolly. "If I'd known, I would've killed you first."

The youth laughed too. "Well said! Let's hope you can still keep that up in a few days!"

That was when the door was knocked on firmly three times and gently once. The youth had his goon open the door, and the beggar entered carrying Arya, flinging her to the floor and allowing the youth to check the goods.

The youth chuckled happily. "Well done, geezer. Pretty faces like her are rare!" Arya was no Plum, but she was still a rare specimen.

The beggar laughed. "You're exaggerating sir! But I have a favor to ask... can you sell her soon?"

"What, are you being followed?" The youth frowned, and his goons were at once wary as well.

The beggar shook his head. "No

way. I'd never come if I had a tail, not when my family's at stake. I just

hate this bitch that much, and I want her gone without fuss!"

On any other occasion, the youth would not quickly sell his goods, but he would

take his time to enjoy instead.

However, that was not the case now. He had Plum, so there was no reason to be interested in Arya.

Nodding, he told his goons, "Go, get it done!"

Then, he returned to Plum, rubbing

his hands and flashing a sleazy smile. "I'm sure it's been a pleasant journey, Ms. Zitch, so it's my honor to show you the darkness and horrors of this world!"

"S-Stop it!" Plum shrieked in panic. "I'm warning you-I have friends in high places! If they knew that I'm missing, they would tear this place down!"

"That's pointless." The youth laughed. "Just give it up already, Ms. Zitch.

Moreover, even if they do find me here, I can run away!"
