Those kids were typical bullies, preying on the weak and fearing the strong. Seeing Lysanne merely putting on a show ofstrength, they completely dismissed her, not taking her seriously. After snatching the dinner she had prepared, they simply wentback to sleep.
In front of Howard and Molly, Lysanne had once dared to throw around threats of life and death. But then, after truly beingbullied, she didn’t dare to let out a peep. Even when she cautiously made her way back to that dilapidated room in the dark, shewas careful not to wake the children or the nuns in the courtyard.
As she passed by the stairwell, an idea suddenly popped into her mind. She remembered there was a landline phone in Alisha’soffice, which might have international roaming capabilities.
With that in mind, Lysanne clung to a faint glimmer of hope and cautiously climbed upward.The lights in Alisha’s office were not on.
Upon realizing that no one was there, Lysanne quickly closed the door behind her. In the sporadic moonlight, she picked up thephone receiver. However, she hesitated just as she was about to dial.
She had fallen so low that even the children in the orphanage could step on her. She truly wondered who would come to rescueher then.
Those fair—weather friends who ceased their association with her after her status changed were utterly unreliable.
Lysanne sadly realized that, after much thought, all the people she could think of who might have been. able to help her hadbeen those she had manipulated and hurt in the past. If only these people had treated me a little better, how could | have endedup in such a dire situation?
With resentment, she dialed Howard’s number, and only when the call connected did she adopt a voice choked with sobs. “Dad,you need to send someone to save me. Josiah has lost his mind. He actually wants me to take care of a bunch of crazy kids inan orphanage...

The phone was promptly answered.
Tiffany, in her usual cheerful and innocent tone, answered the call from an unknown number. “May | ask
She had barely started speaking when Lysanne eagerly interrupted, “It’s me! I’m Lyss! Tiffany, listen to me. I’m in trouble. You
have to come save mel“Huh?” Tiffany sounded utterly bewildered. “Lyss, what’s wrong? Did something happen?”
Lysanne had truly had enough of Tiffany’s naive and slow—witted demeanor. However, in order to escape, she had no choice butto endure it. Using the condescending tone she previously thought was effective in manipulating Tiffany, she choked back heremotions and began to recount the day’s events.
“| see,” Tiffany responded, her voice sounding somewhat peculiar after understanding the situation.
Lysanne didn’t have the time to consider all these factors. Choking back tears, she said, “This place is simply unlivable. Thosekids are terribly vicious. | wouldn’t even survive here until I’m thirty, let alone the fact that | have to endure cold water, leftoverfood, and beatings every day. | can’t stand another day of
this!”
Tiffany’s tone suddenly turned indifferent. In fact, she sounded like a naive little girl that had lost interest. She asked, “So? Whatdo you want me to do? I don’t even know where you are.”
“Tiffany, listen to me. You need to go and find Josiah right now and plead with him! If he doesn’t budge, then go find Carol.Shower her with money. She’s Josiah’s secretary. She’s seen the world, so a few hundred thousand won't move her. You shouldbe prepared to offer three to five million. Everyone loves money. You just keep throwing money at her until she gives in! Onceshe tells you where | am, immediately send someone to rescue me!” Lysanne said.
With a puzzled expression. Tiffany asked again “However, Lyss, wouldn’t this potentially upset Jose? | really don’t dare to.”This statement successfully left Lysanne speechless.
Lysanne was solely focused on whether she could escape, completely indifferent to the fate of others. However, in order toreassure Tiffany, she patiently said to her, “Don’t worry. Josiah treats you like a little sister. Even if he scolds you, it’s just a fewwords. He won't harm you. Come on, Tiffany. Haven’t you always listened to my advice? Don’t waste time now. Go directly toCarol. Remember to bring more money...”
“Haha!”Acrisp laughter echoed from the other end of the line.
Lysanne stood in Alisha’s pitch—black office, her body prickling with fear as she clutched the receiver, her voice trembling as sheasked, “Tiffany, why are you laughing!
“I'm laughing at you.”
At last, Tiffany revealed her true colors, hidden beneath the facade of an innocent and naive girl.Lysanne was taken aback. “Wh

The call then ended, leaving only the busy tone in the receiver.
Lysanne clung to the phone; unwilling to let go. However, she was unsure of who else she could call for help. Just when she wasabout to take the risk and dial the police, a sliver of light seeped out from under the side door of the office.
Alisha was residing in the room behind her office, and she was about to come out soon.
Terrified out of her wits, Lysanne fled back to her old, dilapidated room as if her life depended on it. She didn’t dare to turn on thelights, fearful that Alisha might come to check on her. Without hesitation, she dove under the musty quilt.
In the darkness, she first felt something squeaking and scurrying across her arm. She paused, wanting to pull away, but endedup touching a furry gray creature instead.
