To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 1297

"What are you doing? Let go of my son!" Janet's mom was jumping in panic when she saw her son assaulted.

But Melissa had no intention of stopping. She had heard from Jenny about the wrongdoings of this family. They had pawned their daughter to get money for dowry to be used in their son's marriage. "How wicked does one have to be to do that?" she wondered. She decided to give them a lesson and scare the hell out of them to prevent them from giving Janet more trouble.

"The life of your son is in my hands. I'd advise you to behave." With a smirk, Melissa waved at the bodyguard, who stepped harder on the arm of Janet's brother. The sound of bones snapping echoed in the house. Now, even Janet's dad was panicking, but he didn't do anything rash, knowing they could not afford to get on the wrong side of these thugs.

"This lady, who…who exactly are you? We have not done you any wrong. Why would you hurt my son?" He tried to calm down and sounded as polite as possible.

Given his amicable attitude, Melissa finally declared, "We're here today because your daughter doesn't know better. She has been sold to my boss, but she keeps thinking of running away. This must be the fault of her parents for not raising her well. Don't you think I should teach you a lesson?"

The moment they heard that the trouble had something to do with Janet, the old couple hurriedly waved their hands.

"We have nothing to do with Janet Hale now. We've given her up to you, so she belongs to you now. If she tries to run away again, just give her a good beating. Over time, she won't think of escaping anymore," Janet's mom proposed the idea, much to Melissa's disbelief. How could a mother say that? However, Melissa noticed the woman's eyes on her son, looking as if she was feeling the pain as well. She came to realize that Janet's mom was merely playing favorites.

"Who knows if you're telling the truth? You could be working with her, waiting for her to escape so that you can sell her to someone else! Is that how you make money?" Melissa chuckled icily. She didn't trust their words at all.
