Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted Chapter 1647 [Eleven Jewell]

Arthur did not know how to write and could not compose a letter. Hence, he lost touch with Evelyn after three years.

He had initially assumed that she would have already wed upon his return. To his surprise, the person he had longed for was still waiting for him at home.

Although they hadn’t seen each other in years, their reunion was natural, as if they had never been apart. They quickly confirmed their relationship after that.

Arthur hired a matchmaker to formalize their union, and they soon set a date for the wedding.

The couple were engrossed in the preparations for their new life together, eagerly anticipating their future. Little did they know, tragedy was on the horizon.

A series of gruesome murders began plaguing the town. The perpetrator targeted young women, committing heinous acts before taking their lives.

In just six months, four lives were brutally taken, causing the people to panic.

Women were afraid to venture out alone.

At the time, Evelyn was employed at a textile factory. Arthur would see her off and pick her up daily.

As their wedding approached, Evelyn’s family suddenly changed their minds, demanding a larger dowry. It turned out that Evelyn’s younger brother had fancied a girl from a prominent family whose dowry demands were unreasonably high. The Thornfield family could not muster the required funds, so they came up with this plan.

Evelyn was deeply embarrassed and enraged by her family’s actions. Despite her usual gentle demeanor, she had a massive fight with her family about it.

However, in those days, women had little say in their own marriages.

Should Arthur refuse, the Thornfields would swiftly arrange another marriage for their daughter. They were convinced that they would eventually find someone who would be willing to foot the bill.

Arthur was equally upset but had no choice but to give in. He could not stand to see the Thornfield family forcing Evelyn into such an unwanted situation.

But he had just set up a new home and had very little money left. Even with assistance from relatives and friends, he was still lacking financially.
