"Do you think you'll get money?" I spoke coldly, in a mocking tone, "If someone is looking for me like you said they were, then wouldn't it make more sense to send us to Monsa now? Tell them that you found me. Perhaps you'll get a large sum from them in thanks."
He considered the suggestion, a frown creeping onto his face. After hesitating for a moment, he looked at me, eyes narrowed, and said, "I can consider sending you back, but not the others."
"Why?" I raised my voice. "As long as you send us back, I can pay you as much money as you want."
"Ha!" He laughed and squinted at me, saying, "As expected by someone favored by Mr. Milton, you are quite generous. Lady, you are the only one that Mr. Milton is looking for. He'll spend the money on you, but it doesn't mean that he'll spend it on them. These women are nobodies, I don't think he'd be interested in them. It's no use sending them there."
"You..." He had offended each of the girls with just a single sentence.
The women stared at him. Naomi was a beautiful woman, with her bright skin and well- defined facial features. It was no surprise that she'd be unhappy at his comment.
She shot back, "Don't you feel ashamed, criticizing our looks? Look at yourself, with that pig nose and those beady eyes. Even if you went back to your mommy's womb, you'd still come out looking like sh*t!"
She was really good at making people mad.
She had humiliated him, and had riled him up immensely. He raised his hand to hit her, but the dark-skinned man who'd been driving shot him a glance and said something to him.
Then, he stopped.
He was taken aback. He looked at me, uncertain, and asked, "What did you say? The Roberts family, the Reid family and the Moore Family?"
I nodded, and realized that other girls were looking at me in surprise. I paused and said, "Yes, if you don't believe me, hand me a phone. I'll call Hendrix. Switch it to hands-free mode."
He looked at me incredulously. "How do you know Hendrix of the Roberts family?"
I pursed my lips and said, "I don't only know Hendrix, I also know Aaron, the young master of Reid Family, and Pedro, who's done both legal and illegal businesses in the Moore Family."
His face turned pale, as if the information had truly shocked him. After looking at me for a long time, he asked, "Who are you? Why have you been sent to Myanway as a cat's paw for transportation?"
