Chapter 181 The Chains of Blood

So whether the money went to Ena or to the school, it made no real difference.

What Ena had to fight wasn’t tuition. It was her own family.

Behind Scarlett, Selina suddenly felt a flicker of shame.

She’d thought the same thing earlier–if Ena’s parents refused, just send the money straight to the school.

But she’d overlooked one thing.

Even if the school received the money, Ena still couldn’t break free from her family.

If her parents didn’t want her to study, they wouldn’t allow her to go to school.

They might even storm into the school and demand the money back.

Even Ena herself already understood this–understood that whether the money went to her or to the school, her fate wouldn’t change.

Her family would never let her go to school, never let her leave these mountains.

No wonder she’d gone silent earlier, her eyes so heavy with sadness.

She knew how hard it was to escape the life she’d been born into.

Hazel fell quiet.

Because she knew Scarlett was right.

She really hadn’t thought that far.

But why did Scarlett get to stand there and judge her from some moral high ground?

“Then, what do you suggest? Just give up sponsoring her because of that? Let her stay trapped here her whole life?

“If the school has the money, at least the teachers can try to persuade her parents. Maybe they’ll listen

[Damn. Now I get it. Ena’s struggle isn’t about where the money goes–it’s about escaping her family)

[Exactly. Scarlett nailed it. There have been cases before where donations meant for poor girls in mountain regions ended up benefiting families with boys instead It’s disgusting I

[That’s the reality. Places like this are too backward. In their eyes, sons are everything. Even if Ena got the money, her parents would find a way to take it.]

[So, Hazel’s idea of having teachers persuade the parents? That won’t work either. Their mindset is deeply rooted. It won’t change.]

[Then, is there really no other way?]

[Scarlett’s ridiculous. All she does is stand on some moral high ground and criticize.

[She talks big about thinking things through, but when Hazel actually wants to help Ena, Scarlett just attacks her. Has she even considered sponsoring Ena herself?]

[Hazel’s fans, get lost. When did Scarlett ever say she wouldn’t help? You’re really good at twisting words. Keep running your mouth, and I’ll start dragging your idol next.]

Hazel’s fans immediately stopped steering the conversation toward Scarlett.

They genuinely didn’t understand why Scarlett’s fans snapped back so fiercely, no filter, no mercy.

Hazel herself knew the idea she’d just suggested wasn’t solid.

A man who would chase down and beat his daughter over his little son scraping his head-

What were the odds he’d listen to a teacher’s gentle persuasion and suddenly let his daughter go to school?

Hazel glanced at Scarlett. “What about adoption? Or finding a family in the city to take Ena in? That way, she can leave this town.”

The look Scarlett gave her grew colder.

“How can you be this naive, saying stuff like that? Do you even know the law?”

As long as both parents were alive and there weren’t any extreme hardships, adoption wasn’t even an option.

And even if Ena’s parents were disabled or struggling, they’d never agree to give her up.

They’d keep her home to serve the family instead.

Hazel’s face throbbed harder with anger.

[Why do I suddenly feel like Hazel’s kind of dumb…]

[Did Scarlett memorize the entire legal code or something?]

[Did you forget she picked up Drerea in half an hour? Memorizing the law wouldn’t be shocking.l

[Yeah, right. That Drerea thing was scripted.]

[Idiot]

The other guests had gathered around by now.

Everyone was trying to think of a way out for Ena.

Even Simon stepped closer, wondering what he could do.

Could enough money buy out her parents‘ control

He could pay it.

But he wanted to hear Scarlett’s thoughts first.

He knew she must have another way.

Finished

Simply buying her freedom didn’t feel right.

Brianna couldn’t help herself. “Scarlett, stop just criticizing Hazel. Then tell us–what’s your solution? At least, Hazel tried to sponsor Ena so she could see a bigger world. You’ve done nothing but attack her.”

She wasn’t defending Hazel.

She just disliked Scarlett and wanted to drag her down.

Hazel shot Brianna a grateful look.

Coming from Brianna, the audience would probably sympathize with her.

Before Scarlett could respond, Nelson jumped in and pointed at Brianna. “Who doesn’t see this for what it is? Hazel’s just putting on a show for the cameras–trying to win favor with the viewers-”
