Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 509 A Seal

They were too indifferent, but Irene knew it was because they were used to these things and were

accustomed to them.

Irene went to the storeroom. There was everything in it. Fortunately, the servant had tidied it up before she

left, and it looked neat.

She found all the suitcases that could be used, lowered her dignity, and carried them upstairs, starting to

pack her things.

The court had a rule that apart from necessities and some valuable things, antiques and classics could not

be taken away.

Irene had never packed her luggage before and did not know how to arrange them. She could not even fold

her clothes neatly.

The clothes she bought were all luxury brands. Logically speaking, they could not be folded. Every time she

wore them, she needed to wash and carefully iron them before putting them into the cupboard.

Now, she did not have much to worry about. She just wanted to pack up quickly and pawn useless things in a

second-hand store to exchange for some money.

After packing for more than forty minutes, Irene forcibly filled up all the suitcases. When she finally wanted

to close them, she failed.

Irene wished she could leave everything she had behind and just leave, but she couldn’t.

She could only endure her grievances and try again and again.

When the law-enforcement officers came over to urge her and saw this, they helped her.

“Ms. Wade, are you done packing?”

Irene wiped the sweat on her head, and her hair, which was well-maintained, draped over her shoulders,

disheveled.

She pursed her lips, lowered her head, and whispered, “I have packed up all my things. Grandpa’s things are still

not packed. Can I…?”

Before she could finish, the law enforcement officer ruthlessly interrupted her, “Ms. Wade, don’t worry. We will sort

out the rest of the things. When the house is being auctioned, the things will be sent to you. You just need to keep

the phone connected.”

The officer sealed the door and got into the car before leaving.

Irene put the suitcase into the trunk with great effort. When she sat in the driver’s seat, she gasped, and her whole

body was soaked with sweat.

The seal on the door made her confused. Brady was still in the hospital, and no one could help her.

Her eyes were wet, and she started the car.

In the middle of the night, Ainsley was woken up by a scream. When she came to her senses, she

immediately scrambled out of bed and went to Lainey’s room. Matteo stood at the door and did not go in..

“Go in and take a look. I’m outside. Call me if you need anything.” Matteo said.

Ainsley immediately pushed open the door and walked in. Lainey sat on the bed and hugged her head,

looking around in fear.

Thinking of Lainey’s cheerful face in the past, Ainsley suddenly felt a little distressed. She walked over and

said gently, “Lainey, what’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?”

Lainey did not speak. Her entire body was trembling as she covered her ears.

The wound on her face was bleeding due to the intense scream.

“Don’t be afraid. This is home. There won’t be any danger.” Ainsley knew Lainey would not answer, so she

could only try her best to calm Lainey down.

Lainey slowly cooled down and lowered her hand, and her breathing became soft.

“Lainey, go to sleep.” She gently covered Lainey’s eyes, left a lamp on, tucked Lainey in, and then walked out

of the door.

Matteo had not left, but when he saw Ainsley come out, he asked, “Is she okay?”

“She’s fine. She has fallen asleep. She must be having a nightmare. Matteo, you should take a rest.”

“Alright, you should rest too.”

After they said goodnight to each other, they both returned home.

In her room, Lainey suddenly opened her eyes and looked around in fear. It was as if deafening music had

sounded in her head again. In the rhythmic drumbeats, she heard a man’s voice.

“Don’t cry. Hold it in for me.”

“**** up! You’re not allowed to speak. We will make you happy right now. Why are you crying?”

“You’re still thinking about Roman. What a romantic! You should serve me well first.”

“****up for me!

“***up! I’ve said it many times!”

Abuse and the breathing of the men sounded, and a big hand tightly covered her ***, preventing her from

speaking.

Colorful lights flashed, and none of the people who came and went stopped at the door of the private room to

save her.

These days, her mind was full of the curses, the music, and the noise, even if she was asleep.

She listened to the man and did not speak again.

But why did Roman still not come back?

The next day, Ainsley did not send the food into Lainey’s room, but pulled her out, and let her sit on the table

to eat.

Matteo’s eating at the company was also instructed by Ainsley. Lainey must be afraid of men at this mornent.

“Lainey, eat the oatmeal.” Ainsley pushed the plate of oatmeal over.

Lainey drank the oatmeal one ***at a time as if she was completing a task.

“Lainey, I know you can hear me. Now you are fine. You have come out of that bar. Can you look at me? I

know you are still suffering from that day, but don’t forget what I do for a living. Tell me what you need, okay?

I should be the person you trust the most. Have you forgotten we are best friends? I am really worried about

you.”

Ainsley’s voice was gentle and slow, making Lainey calm down and listen.

However, Lainey was different. Her head was filled with the abusive and vulgar words of the group of men, as

well as the sound of music and drums.

With that noise, even if Ainsley’s voice was soft, it was still irritating.

She clenched the cup and smashed it hard on the table, but her eyes were blank as she looked around.

Ainsley finally noticed Lainey’s abnormal behavior. She suddenly looked at Lainey’s helpless face and

understood something.

“Lainey, tell me. What is in front of you?”

Under her tough questioning, Lainey finally forced herself to say, “They… they are laughing.”

Ainsley did not ask who it was. Without a doubt, it was the group of ***in the bar.

Ainsley covered her eyes, and Lainey’s vision went black.

“Don’t look. There is nothing. You are safe.”

Lainey opened her ***slightly and said in a hoarse voice, “What about him?”

“Who?”

“I want to see him. I want to see him.” Lainey curled up.

Ainsley felt her palms wet. She knew Lainey was crying.

Ainsley suddenly thought of the day when Roman escaped from death and dragged her wounded body to see

Lainey. He said, “She is waiting for me.”

Ainsley asked tentatively, “Are you asking about Roman?”

“Where is he? Why is his phone here?” Lainey screamed.

Even if Ainsley did not get an answer, she immediately confirmed who Lainey was talking about.
