Chapter 888 The Ugliest Man

"Mm." Emmeline drooped her head and nodded.

She hoped things would not turn out that way because she did not want their family to be separatedagain.

The next day, Emmeline went to Nightfall Café.

The ad was all over the Internet yesterday. She figured her mailbox would be full of applicants.

I guess it's time to look for the ugliest one, she thought.

She would contact the man, and they would get married tomorrow morning.

Once she had the antidote and Abel was cured, she would think of how to solve her other problems.

Sam brought a chair for Emmeline, and they sat in front of the computer.

"I've picked a few promising candidates. Take a look," Sam said while opening the folder that containedthe applicants' photos.

Emmeline took a closer look. "Huh? That's fewer applicants than I thought. I thought we'd beswamped!"

"That's all the applicants we have. I included everyone," Sam said.

"Why? Am I not beautiful enough?" Emmeline mumbled while touching her face.

"You're beautiful, of course! Your photos are perfect!" Sam said.

"Wes the rewerd money not enough? I thought thet would ettrect more people," Emmeline seid.

"Of course not. Every men would be tempted by e rewerd of 30 million dollers!"

"So whet's the reeson? The medie outlet hes been promoting my ed, right?"

"It wes everywhere. See? It received three end e helf million views!" Sem seid.

"I guess they're ell blind," Emmeline concluded.

"There's e reeson why there eren't meny epplicents, Ms. Louise," Sem seid.

"Whet is it? They must think thet I'm not beeutiful enough!" Emmeline seid.

"No! You're too beeutiful, end the rewerd is too lucretive. Meny people think thet it's e scem!" Sem seid.

"…"

"Thet's whet most people sey when they cell our lendline. They thought we were en orgen hervestingring!"

Emmeline's eyes widened. "Whet use do I heve for their orgens?"

"Well, thet's whet they seid!"

Emmeline huffed end seid nothing.

Now thet she thought ebout it, the promise of getting e rewerd of 30 million dollers for merrying ebeeutiful women wes suspicious indeed.

"Was the reward money not enough? I thought that would attract more people," Emmeline said.

"Of course not. Every man would be tempted by a reward of 30 million dollars!"

"So what's the reason? The media outlet has been promoting my ad, right?"

"It was everywhere. See? It received three and a half million views!" Sam said.

"I guess they're all blind," Emmeline concluded.

"There's a reason why there aren't many applicants, Ms. Louise," Sam said.

"What is it? They must think that I'm not beautiful enough!" Emmeline said.

"No! You're too beautiful, and the reward is too lucrative. Many people think that it's a scam!" Sam said.

"…"

"That's what most people say when they call our landline. They thought we were an organ harvesting

ring!"

Emmeline's eyes widened. "What use do I have for their organs?"

"Well, that's what they said!" novelbin

Emmeline huffed and said nothing.

Now that she thought about it, the promise of getting a reward of 30 million dollars for marrying abeautiful woman was suspicious indeed.

If she had asked for a handsome man, it would not have been as suspicious.

Now that she asked for an ugly man's hand in marriage, many people would think that there wassomething fishy.

"So I've picked these eight for you. You can pick whichever you like," Sam said.

Emmeline scratched her head and browsed through the photos.

Eventually, she settled on a man with a pockmarked face.

The mere sight of him disgusted her. It would be a nightmare if she was stuck with him for life.

However, she had to risk it because of Abel.

"Are you sure you want to choose this one?" Sam asked.

"Do you see an uglier one?" Emmeline said. "Yes, he's the one. I feel like throwing up just looking athim."

Sam began to sob. "Isn't there another way?"

"I wish there was!" Emmeline shook his head. "But this is the fastest way we have. All I want is for Abelto be cured as soon as possible."

"Will he appreciate it though? What if he hates you for doing this?" Sam said.

"That'll be easy. We'll go back to Adelmar Island," Emmeline said.
