Chapter 179 Schemes and Sincerity

Chapter 179 Schemes and Sincerity

She didn’t want that kind of life.

She wanted to see the world outside, too.

But could she?

Probably not in this lifetime.

Even if she’d learned a little from Ursula, even if she could speak a bit of Dragorian-

She couldn’t escape the family she was born into, couldn’t fight against it.

Ena’s eyes slowly dimmed.

These youngsters would leave after this week’s filming.

She would never get another chance to glimpse the outside world.

Selina really liked Ena. Thinking about the girl’s future, she quietly made up her mind.

After the show wrapped, she’d send Ena money every month and sponsor her schooling.

But Selina didn’t say a word.

She planned to do it quietly after filming ended.

Over on the other side, Brianna and Zayden-

Brianna glared resentfully at Scarlett and the others eating.

She thought Scarlett was heartless.

But she was starving.

She had never been this hungry in her entire life.

She turned to Zayden and whispered, “Zayden … maybe I should do what Simon did and go ask Scarlett?”

She was still clinging to a tiny bit of hope.

But Zayden stopped her, his voice cold. “Go over there for what? So Scarlett can target us again?”

He’d been slapped on the head by a man in town earlier and still felt dizzy.

He was starting to feel irritated with Brianna, too.

If it weren’t for her, he wouldn’t have gotten hit.

Brianna pouted. “I was doing that for you. Why are you snapping at me?”

Zayden didn’t respond.

The irritation inside him only grew.

What was going on?

He’d never felt this close to losing control before.

In the end, the three of them were too hungry.

Seeing that Zayden didn’t look well, Brianna went with Hazel to search nearby for something to eat.

Behind the school’s single–story buildings, they found a patch of land.

It looked abandoned, overgrown with weeds. But among the weeds, there were still a few tomatoes and cucumbers hanging on.

Brianna immediately reached to pick them.

Hazel hesitated. “Brianna, this is someone’s garden. Shouldn’t we ask first?”

Brianna almost rolled her eyes.

The place clearly hadn’t been tended in ages. It was probably Ursula’s.

By the time summer break ended, these leftover tomatoes and cucumbers would be dead anyway. What was there to ask?

Hazel was just putting on an act.

Still, Brianna didn’t refuse.

She didn’t want netizens dragging her.

Hazel walked to the front yard and saw Scarlett and the others finishing their meal.

Ena had already finished eating, too.

Hazel approached with a sweet smile.

“Hi, Ena. My name’s Hazel Bailey. You can call me Hazel. Can I ask whose garden that is in the back?

“There are still some tomatoes and cucumbers there. Can we pick them to eat? We haven’t eaten anything all day.”

Ena looked at the person in front of her.

Something about her smile felt fake.

But she didn’t say that. Instead, she stammered in Dragorian, “The garden belongs to Ms. Rowan. She went home for summer break. No one’s taking care of it. Most of the plants are already dying. You can eat them.”

“Thank you, Ena.”

Hazel patted the girl’s hair.

Ena was actually twelve.

But she was so thin and small, she looked eight or nine.

Everyone always assumed she was much younger.

Hazel and Brianna went to the back and picked every tomato and cucumber that was still alive.

Then, they returned to the yard and divided them up–each person got one tomato and one cucumber.

It didn’t fill their stomachs.

But at least it was something.

Hazel even brought some over to Ena.

She knew Ena had just eaten and probably wouldn’t take it.

But she wanted an excuse to talk.

She had an idea.

From the looks of it, Ena’s family clearly favored boys over girls. The girl’s life was miserable.

If she told Ena she was willing to sponsor her education and give her 1,000 dollars a month, the girl would definitely be grateful.

And she’d win public favor online, too.

Hazel walked over with the cucumber and tomato.

“Ena, thank you. If it weren’t for you, I’d still be starving. Do you want some too?”

Ena shook her head. “No, thank you, Hazel. You eat.”

For some reason, she didn’t really like this person.

The feeling she got from her was completely different from Scarlett and Selina.

This one made her uncomfortable,

Hazel sat down and started chatting.

“Ena, why did your dad hit you earlier?”

Ena’s eyes dimmed again.

“My little brother fell and hurt his head. Dad said I didn’t watch him properly, so he hit me. I ran away.”

She’d been beaten her whole life. Now that she was older, she knew how to run.

Hazel sighed sympathetically. “That’s too much. You’re just a kid, too. Why did he make you look after children?”

Ena didn’t reply.

Her brother was already two. He could walk on his
