Riches in Disguise

It finally dawned on me. Lynn wasn't a slut by choice. She was forced to be one.

I had heard of The Dragonshade Society before. Back when I was still in Cyelar, my cousin, Travis White, mentioned that he was dating a beautiful woman from the society. However, he broke up with her in less than a month.

Travis was the type of person who always chased the next new thing. He never took relationships seriously. Whenever he grew interested in a woman, he'd lose interest and break up with her within a month.

However, that beautiful woman was the daughter of the vice leader of The Dragonshade Society, so it wasn't easy for Travis to break things off with her.

That woman bothered Travis for quite a while back then. Eventually, he had no choice but to threaten Elijah. He wanted Elijah to stop the woman from harassing him. Otherwise, Travis would take down The Dragonshade Society.

I was also there when Elijah came over to apologize in person.

I remembered that he was in his 30s. He appeared mature and undeniably

masculine. His skin was dark, and his build was solid. Still, his accent gave him a surprisingly soft touch.

Honestly, I had a pretty good impression of him.

Back then, I even told Travis that Elijah was destined for success. I never imagined, though, that he would die and leave Lynn to deal with all this trouble.

I turned to look at Lynn.

Even though I was a man, I couldn't help but think that Elijah was really handsome. It was no wonder that Lynn was willing to be his girlfriend! Nevertheless, he failed to take care of Lynn and his daughter.

I asked, "How did Elijah die?" He was such a strong, gentle, and steady man. So,

I didn't think he would be killed so easily.

Lynn's eyes reddened as she bit her lip. "The White family from Gothville are to blame!"

I was stunned. "The White family from Gothville? What did they do?"

Lynn sighed. "Back then, Esther Hall, Arthur Hall's daughter, ended up falling for the White family's eldest heir.

"That heir felt offended, so he pressured Elijah. Elijah had no choice but to send Esther overseas and punish Arthur with 20 lashes.

"That made Arthur hold a grudge. From then on, he started scheming to take Elijah down. Finally, he

his chance during a mission.o

So, he made his move and killed Elijah."

It seemed that Arthur Hall was the vice leader of The Dragonshade Society! I was stunned. Travis seemed to be the

e responsibet

for Elijah's death!

Lynn looked at me and said, "In the underworld, you can never mess with someone's family. It's a rule that you can't break.

"Yet, Elijah went after Esther. That's what sparked Arthur's anger and that of the members of The Dragonshade Society."

I was completely speechless. That meant that Travis was truly the indirect cause of Elijah's death!

"You wanted to sell the bar because of The Dragonshade Society, right? Are they planning to come after you and the bar?" I asked.

Lynn briefly looked away. "You're sharp. That's precisely it. The Dragonshade Society is known for keeping their word.noveldrama

"I know that I can't protect the bar, so I sold it. If the owner is someone else, they'll go after me, but not the bar."

The bar was doing well and didn't

seem to have any

financial

problems. It turned out that Lynn soldat because of The Dragonshade Society!

That realization instantly put my mind at ease.
