Chapter 1570 – The Silverware Vendor’s Horror II
*****Back then... long before the silverware vendor mastered elaborate scams and learned how to squeeze every last coin from frightened victims with practiced ease, she had been nothing more than an ordinary drifter with nowhere to call home, no stable source of income, and no future worth looking forward to.Life had beaten her down without mercy.She slept wherever she could find shelter from the rain, often going to bed with an empty stomach while her children cried themselves to sleep beside her.Every sunrise brought the same desperate question… would they eat today, or would hunger win again?She had survived by doing whatever work the marketplace threw at her.From dawn until dusk, she labored like a beast of burden.When trucks arrived loaded with merchandise, people called for her to unload them.When customers bought bulky goods, she was summoned to carry them.She scrubbed filthy stalls, swept rubbish from the walkways, hauled construction materials for workers renovating
Chapter 1569 – The Silverware Vendor’s Horror
*****The bustling marketplace that had been filled with bargaining voices, footsteps, laughter, and endless chatter only moments ago wasn’t merely silent again.It had become unnaturally still, so much so that it now resembled an abandoned street.The silence was so profound that if a blind person had wandered into the area, they might have genuinely believed there wasn't another soul within hundreds of meters.Everyone... the passersby, market patrons, nearby vendors, Grace, and even Little Lola herself, just stood rooted to the ground, their eyes fixed ahead in utter disbelief.For what felt like an eternity, not a single person managed to process what they had just witnessed.Just one heartbeat ago, the silverware stall had been standing perfectly intact.But now… it had been reduced to complete devastation; it looked as though a bulldozer had plowed straight through it without slowing down.Broken shelves lay scattered across the ground, twisted metal frames were bent into unnatu
Chapter 1568 – Xavier’s Unexpected Action
*****The Silverware Vendor remembered Madam Tush’s fate, the woman who had once been one of the most feared vendors in the marketplace and who had also made the catastrophic mistake of crossing Little Lola.Madam Tush had fallen, her influence had vanished, and her husband had been dismissed by the Myron family.Their entire household had gone from being untouchable to being practically disgraced overnight.And now she had unknowingly stepped into the exact same pit.Her stomach churned.“I…” She finally turned toward Xavier.The smugness that had previously made her look unbearable was nowhere to be found.Instead, she forced an awkward smile onto her face, but the expression was so bitter and unnatural that it looked more like she was trying to smile while swallowing poison.“I didn’t know it was you, sir,” she stammered. “And I… I didn’t know Little Lola was with you.”The change was so dramatic that it was almost comical.This was the same woman who had just been threatening a six
Chapter 1567 – An Exaggerated Story
*****For a long moment, several people remained completely lost in their thoughts, their gazes fixed on Little Lola as they struggled to reconcile the fragile, miserable child they remembered with the beautiful and well-dressed little girl currently resting safely in Grace’s arms.The more they thought about it, the more impossible the comparison seemed.Yet, little by little, realization began to creep across their faces, until one person after another looked as though they had just been struck by lightning.“How?” Several mouths fell open. “Wasn’t she always dirty, malnourished, and practically homeless?”“I remember her! She was so filthy that most parents wouldn’t even let her stand near their children.”“She was always covered in dust, and her clothes were practically falling apart.”“No one even wanted to associate with her.”The words spilled out in bewilderment as people tried to process what they were seeing, their memories colliding violently with the sight before them.It w
Chapter 1566 – Little Lola's Pitiful Past
*****Little Lola had a father who did not care about her.That man was a gang leader with several subordinates under his command, yet despite having enough men around him to intimidate almost anyone in the market, he had never used that strength to protect his own daughter.He had never provided her with a proper home, given her food, or offered her the faintest safety.Instead, he had treated her as though she were nothing more than a convenient source of income.Little Lola would wake before most people had even opened their eyes and spend the entire day moving around the marketplace, desperately searching for anyone who needed help.And whenever she finally managed to scrape together a little money, money she had earned with her tiny hands and exhausted body because she wanted nothing more than to buy herself something simple to eat, her father would swagger into the market with several of his men.Then they would take everything.Every hard-earned bill and coin.Sometimes, they w
Chapter 1565 – Recognizing Little Lola
*****Yet, instead of the explosive reaction the elderly storyteller had clearly expected, the entire crowd simply stared at him.For several seconds, nobody said anything.The silence was so complete that the elderly man’s triumphant expression gradually began to collapse under the weight of their blank stares.One person blinked, another tilted her head, and someone in the back even looked around as though wondering whether the old man had accidentally pointed at the wrong child.Finally, a market woman could no longer hold herself back.“Old man, have you been drinking again?” she asked suspiciously. “How can you possibly claim that this young mistress is the same little girl from back then?”“That child used to run around this market doing every kind of hard labor imaginable just to afford the cheapest meal!”“What a ridiculous comparison,” another vendor scoffed. “That little girl was always pale and frighteningly thin. Her face looked like she hadn’t eaten properly in years, and
