Chapter 2069
"When I was nine years old, my family was very poor and I couldn't afford to wear shoes. It so happened that I saw you throwing out a pair of shoes into the trash can one day. I had waited until you left before I went to pick it up. You no longer wanted the shoes, so I picked them up to wear them. What's wrong with that? However, you actually came back. You snatched away the shoes I picked up and you asked me to bark like a dog while being on all fours on the ground. You asked me to do many things. If I didn't do it, then you just won't give me those shoes. Later on, I did it all, but you cup up those shoes!"
Lily was speechless. She remembered. There was indeed such an incident. Originally, there was no need for her, a young lady from an eminent family, to personally throw the shoes out. However, she had seen a little girl, who was about her age, sneaking around and looking for something next to the trash can. Lily figured that she was a little beggar. Lily wanted to tease the little beggar, so she took a pair of her shoes that she was going to throw out to tease the little beggar.
At that time, Lily felt that it was too fun, and she did not care about it too much. Lily even felt that such a shabbily dressed little beggar surely was not able to survive that winter, so since then, that little beggar never crossed Lily's mind anymore. However, never in a million years would Lily have expected that that little beggar was actually Isadora.
Lily sincerely felt hopeless, she felt that perhaps she was destined to be beaten up in this life. She was not beaten up by Ruth, she was beaten up by Yvonne. If she was not beaten up by Alex, she was beaten up by Holden. At that moment, she was even going to be beaten up by that little beggar from back then.
Isadora truly was more ruthless than men when it comes to beating someone up. Also, Isadora deliberately chose to strike on Lily's soft tissues. It was not going to kill Lily, but it was painful enough that Lily was not even able to wail in pain. In the end, Lily was so badly beaten up that her clothes were also all torn up to the point of being unable to fully cover her body.
Before Isadora left, she said to Lily, "Jane is my sister! she will be just like my real sister in this life. You will never die, but if you dared to find trouble with my sister and her child again, I will make a fool out of you every time, and each time will be more severe than the last. Go ahead as long as you're not afraid to make a fool of yourself!"
After saying that, Isadora went away. What was left behind was Lily in tattered clothes that were barely able to cover her up. Lily truly did not dare to walk out of the dead end before nightfall. Even if the night had fallen, Lily also could not go out. That made Lily feel so incomparably hopeless that she was not even able to shed a tear anymore.
After Isadora came out of the alley, she went to find Jane, Sabrina, and Ruth. The few of them were playing at the open-air amusement park with the children. Isadora came to them. "Don't worry, Jane. This won't happen again in the future. Even if such a thing were to occur, I will also move in at the speed of light to protect you and your child. With me around, I will never let any danger come to you."
After taking a pause, Isadora glanced at Ruth again. "Ruth, I will also take care of your safety in the future."
"Me?" She was slightly in disbelief. She had quite a good relationship with Isadora, but it was not as good as Isadora's relationship with Jane.
Isadora smiled shyly, glanced at Sabrina, and then continued, " Ruth, I know that Sabrina actually is worried about you being alone in Kidon City. Am I right, Sabrina?"
Sabrina nodded. That was indeed the case.
