Seeing this, the other girls all looked away in disgust.
Aurora's stomach churned. She almost threw up watching the man's hands roam all over the unconscious girl. While Aurora managed to hold it in, the blonde mayor's daughter began vomiting violently nearby.
The girl who had been in the water woke up, and seeing the disgusting, hideous man who had taken advantage of her, she let out a piercing scream.
Her reaction seemed to excite the men even more. They would occasionally pinch her, their words growing increasingly vulgar.
"Damn, this one's sweet. Wonder if we'll get a chance to play with her."
"We'll see after the check-up. This is a good batch. I heard there's even a mayor's daughter in the mix…"
After what happened to that girl, no one else dared to try escaping by jumping into the water. Even if you didn't drown, the filth alone would make you wish you were dead.
Aurora, having seen a bit of the world, was slightly calmer than the other despairing girls. She knew her father and brother would never give up on her. Sellers would help look for her too.
As for Leonard…
At the thought of him, Aurora's fists clenched, and a deep chill filled her eyes.
Only after being captured did she realize that the assassination attempt she and Leonard had faced wasn't targeting him at all. Touched by Leonard's life-risking protection, she had never considered that the true target was her. Because of that, she had gone to see him without any bodyguards and was taken completely by surprise.
The girl in the uniform turned pale with fear. Hearing the woman's words, she collapsed to her knees with a thud and burst into tears. "I'm begging you, please, please let me go! I'm about to go to college… I'm begging you… My parents are waiting for me at home…"
The girl's cries were heartbreakingly pitiful, and many of the other kidnapped girls, feeling a pang of sympathy, also began to cry.
The heavily made-up woman watched with cold eyes, completely unmoved.
"Letting you go is impossible," she said. She had seen countless people like this, people who cried more tragically or had sadder stories. It was nothing new to her.
"Let me tell you something. Once you're here, don't even think about going back to your old lives." The woman snorted, her eyes sweeping over the girls. "If you behave, you'll spare yourselves some pain and your lives will be a little better. But if you're disobedient… well, then I'm afraid you'll die a very miserable death. By the way, I haven't introduced myself. From now on, you can all call me Gina."

The same rotation blaming Stella trying to get her destroyed. Isn't the writer tired of writing the same foolishness overand over again? This is exhausting....
