Reclaimed

With everysuse watching, Hellen, Paul, Jolm, and a young man ue across the crowd and arrived at the stage.

Autora immediately recognizes that young man as the Ravenw’s middle som, Owen

Owen was a large and stusly man with his bulging miscles and hy mustache, He seemed like one of those people who would pick up a random fight on the street.

And as the matter of fact, Owen was exactly like that hot-tempered, aggressive, and abusive.

When they were child, Aurora was his personal punching bag. 1 would beat her up just for fun.

And all the other kids would stand by their side and cheer for Cen as he abused her.

The hander he punched, the merrier the group got.

Aurora could never forget the pain and humiliation. Those misalle memories were forever engraved on her soul.

She hadn’t seen Owen after she returned to Silver Blade Pack. She heard that Owen wanted to serve in the army and was sent to the border.

He probably rushed back last night because of what happened to Chloe,

“Mom! Dad! My brothers!”

Chloe let out a sharp scream and crawled forward, grabbing Hellen’s skirt by its edge.

“I miss you so much mom!” she looked up at Hellen with red eyes and sobbed, “You don’t know what kind of place they tossed me into That cell was horrible! It is dark and damp. And got rats nibbling my feet at night…I was so scared, mom!”

Hellen stroked her long hair lovingly and said, “It is OK now. You are no longer in that cell, my dear”

“And I don’t want to return to that place, EVER!”

Chloe tightened her grip on Hellen’s skirt and whispered urgently, “Mom, you must get me out of this. Just pay that filthy rat Angelina enough money and I am sure she can forgive me!”

Jolm said with a frown, “But Chloe, we had tried to talk to Angelina. And she declined our compensation, saying that all she wanted was justice.”

“B**it”Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Chloe snapped, darting him a glare.

“Those lowly commoners don’t care about the justice. All they care about is money! Double the compensation! Triple it! Writer her a blank check if needed!”

Owen suddenly let out a cold snort.

And all those money are coming from our family’s saving? It hardly seems fair, doesn’t it?”

Squinting at his adopted little sister, Owen said in a sarcastic voice. “You have made no money for this family so far, Chloe. All you do all day is shopping for luxury clothes and getting your nails and hairs done. You had a shot of becoming the Luna but that went down the drain as well. You are useless now. Why should we spend any more money on you?”

Chloe glared at her middle brother as a hysterical look passed across her face.

+94%#

“Because I am your only opijon! Without me, you are invisible in Alpha Damien’s eyes! You have to save me! Chloe shricked, “And I am still better off than you, you d***s What have YOU done for this family, huh? You couldn’t even get yourself into the army!”

“What did you just say? Do you want me to hit you?”

The elder’s voice traveled down from the stand and interrupted their quarrel

“Have the defendant’s family reached to an agreement yet!”

Hellen wiped the corner of her eyes and stepped aside, raising her volume, “Yes, we have.”

“Very well, then.”

The elder stood up from his seat and said to the whole crowd in booming voices

“The defendant, Chloe Ravenwood, was charged with the crime of defamation, illegal harassment, threat, detention, and abuse. By Silver Blade Pack’s law, she should be expelled and have her woll claws chopped off and her forehead tattooed! Does anyone have a question with that?”

There was a loud applause and cheering from the bystanders. Someone even yelled “she deserves it.”

Chloe bit her lips and looked at her parents eagerly.

She was their only option!

Among all 4 Ravenwood’s kids, Aurora was dull, Owen was **d, John was weak and Elias-their big brother-was never really home.

Only she-Chloe-was pretty, smart, sophisticated, and adorable, the whole package. Even she was the adopted one, she was still a much better person than all of them combined.

Even though she flumped temporarily, she was sure that she could win back everyone’s heart within no time.

Holding her breath, Chloe stared at her parents and waited them to voice out their disagreement.

Hellen took a step forward facing the whole stand and answered in a firm voice, “The entire Ravenwood family agrees with these penalties.”

-WHAT?!

Chloe couldn’t believe what she just heard…What did her mother just said?!

Even the elder seemed taken aback. After a pause, he asked again. “The defendant’s mother, are problem with these penalties? They will be executed immediately after Ms. Ravenwood is sentenced.”

you sure

you have no

“Yes, I am sure.”

Hellen sobbed and wiped her eyes again, “What can we say? We have no idea how she became this cold, vicious and heartless monster. She wasn’t like this when we adopted her! So we agree that she deserves all these penalties.”

Paul raised his head to look at Damien, “We just hope the Alpha could remember how-selfless and impartial-we all are on this thing. Chloe is the bad one. Not the Ravenwood family.”

Damien remained expressionless as though he didn’t hear Paul’s flattering words at all.

Sitting to his right, Aurora slightly raised her brow as a sarcastic smile touched upon her lips:

Hellen and Paul were even more heartless than she had thought.

川

Pari

She knew Hellen and Paul’s Forest was make of mes

This couple only loved theroscler

They chose Chloe on her 6 months ago became Chloe had a better shot at winning Erimien’s love than her

Kothes

So they picked the best candidates among the two, Chloe

Yet now schlockreputation stick. Damien hated her.

And the entire upper-class people had seen the ugliest side of Chloe at the party.

No noble man would marry Chloe after that incidence.

Chloe was ruined.

as no surprise that the Ravenwood would give up on her now

Quivering on the ground. Chloe clenched her ragged clothes and screamed at her parents in disbelief

“Mom Dad’ Are you kidding me right now? Are you going to let them torture me like that? Why! WHY!”

“Because you deserve it!”

Paul snapped his head around and growled at Chloe sternly. “We rescued out of that orphanage and raised you to be a larly Yet you disappointed us completely. Don’t call me Dad anymore You aren’t my blood to begin with!”

Chloe’s lips twitched

She seemed as though she just got struck by a thunder.

Then she suddenly started to scream, tearing her hair, and scratching her own skin like a l**c.

“You bunch of LIARS!”

She shrieked with sheer rage, her eyes bloodshot.

“Hellen and Paul Ravenwood! We are in this together! We had a f**g deal! I become Damien’s Luna and you support me with your money! You can’t throw me under the bus now! I helped you forge your tax report, I helped you get out of your crimes, I let you take money from the pack’s public saving-

The Ravenwood looked terrified.

“My daughter has lost her mind Hellen said loudly, “Somebody clog her mouth!”

John and Owen rushed forward urgently to clamp Chloe’s mouth shut.

John bent down and whispered into Chloe ears, “Don’t fight it, little sister. Mom and dad had made up their mind. This is what is best for the family.”

Yeah. And that compensation you talked about had a better use now,” Owen sneered “Mom and dad intend to bribe G**a Baron and get me into the army.”

Chloe struggle violently, groaning, with tears streaming down her face.

She was betrayed by them.

G G.

She hated them!

She hated them so much! These cold-hearted hypocrites!

Two guards ran over and clogged Chloe’s mouth. Damien rose from his seat and glanced across the Civic Square.

“If there are no more objections-

He slowly began with a deep voice.

-I hereby sentence Hellen Ravenwood a permanent sentence of-

“Wait!”

Suddenly a voice came from the stand, interrupting Damien’s announcement.

Everyone turned their heard and looked towards the objector.
