Female Novel
Chapter 151
"Arianna, it wouldn't do you any good by being this stubborn," he sounded impatient, "To begin with,
Pedro and Valerie aren't decent. Do you think they'd let you go easily after ending things horribly in
your last conversation with them? I know you're not afraid of them, but at least think about the baby."
I stood there in disbelief, then I asked, "Are you following me?"
He frowned, "No, I was protecting you!"
I laughed sarcastically, "Thanks for protecting me!"
Since I couldn't move my car, I got off the car and decided to leave with my feet.
He grabbed me by my arm, "Stop being so stubborn! You will ruin yourself."
I was already juggling with a lot of things, and it only got worse when he grabbed me. I then turned
around, looked at him, and asked genuinely, "It's still better than letting you ruin me. Why can't you just
let me go? I finally got to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Why are you pulling me backward?
Aaron, what will you get for pulling me back in hell?"
I had already let go of some bad memories from the past. But they started crawling back the moment
Aaron reappeared.
I was caught up in my memories, and that was torturing me.
Twenty-five years ago, an old lady who had been alone for half of her life found an abandoned baby girl
in an alley in Hovell. The baby was around two months old. She was starving, and she could do nothingnovelbin
but only cry out of hunger.
Fortunately, the good-hearted old lady took the baby home, fed her, and kept her warm. The lady then
went on to send the child to the police.
However, after several attempts, she was told that there was no orphanage in Hovell and the police
couldn't neglect their responsibilities to look after an abandoned child.
So, the old lady had no choice but to bring the child back home and raise the baby on her own. The old
lady was a farmer. She was already having difficulties earning a living for herself, so having a child only
made things worse.
Lucky for her, there was an investor who funded a big factory in Hovell at that time, and Hovell
happened to be a small town with barely enough manpower. To get the business running, the factory
employed whoever was eligible. It meant that, as long as one could work, no matter they were a kid or
an adult, the factory would offer them a position.
Therefore, the 60-year-old lady started to work for the factory. She ended up working fifteen years in
that factory, during which the baby had already grown into a teenager. At that age, the teenage girl
would work alongside the old lady.
The old lady was already 75-year-old by then. After spending fifteen years in the factory, her health,
which was already in a terrible condition before, started failing.
To make ends meet for the teenage girl to study in high school, the old lady decided to help take care
of the investor's illegitimate child.
By doing that, the investor would pay the old lady a large sum of money, and he would also help fund
the girl's tuition fee.
The girl in that story was me, and the investor's illegitimate child was Aaron.
I didn't know what his real name was. I only remember Carol introducing him as Aaron on the first day
she brought him back.
Aaron ruined the peaceful and harmonious life I had with Carol. He was rebellious and violent. He
would always mess up the yard, lock me up in the basement, or even push me into the pond.
But those weren't even the worst thing he did to me. Every time he injured me, he would always reach
out to Carol for help. Hence, despite how wicked Aaron was, she would always let him be.
On the year of my college entrance examination, the factory got into trouble for its faulty sewage
system, and it was going to be investigated. The investor wanted to cover that up by blowing up the
sewage processor before the investigation took place.
William, the manager of the factory at that time, objected to the investor's idea. If the factory's sewage
system was damaged, the factory wouldn't be able to process its chemical waste, which would pose a
further threat to the local residents' health.
