Rural Belle & Three Heirs

Seeing Chloe grab that piece of broken tile, Rena quickly took action to save herself

too.

She moved her body closer to Chloe's side until their bound hands touched. Chloe struggled to hold the broken floor tile and began to cut the rope binding Rena's hands.

Outside, the sound of drunken revelry continued. Chloe's wrists ached from the effort, but she kept going. She knew that cutting the ropes was their only chance to escape.

Rena's father, Angus, had lost his mind to gambling. If they didn't find a way to save themselves, who knew what would happen?

Finally, after several minutes, the rope around Rena's hands loosened. Chloe kept working, and just as she freed Rena, a half-drunk Angus and his buddy stumbled into the room.

Worried they'd notice the cut ropes, Rena kept her hands behind her back. She wanted to untie Chloe, but Angus and his friend left her no opportunity.

Angus had drunk quite a bit, his face flushed and his eyes gleaming with excitement. He swayed unsteadily on his feet, pointing at Rena and loudly introducing her to the man beside him, his words exaggerated by the influence of alcohol.

"This is my daughter, Rena," he exclaimed, his voice high, as if trying to draw the attention of everyone around. "A student at Quest University."

He paused, wearing a smug smile before continuing, "Do you know who is keeping her now? The celebrity Michael."

"He's really handsome and filthy rich," Angus boasted proudly, waving his arms as if to bolster his own confidence. "You tell me, why would he be interested in my daughter?"

"Let me tell you something," he leaned closer to the man, lowering his voice but still loud enough for others to hear, "I think he's quite taken with my daughter. If everything goes well, he'll give us a lot of money. Understand?"

Angus, drunk and delusional, seemed to see piles of cash before him. His friend, also drunk, ogled Rena with a lecherous gaze.

"Angus, your daughter is really something. If it weren't for our relationship, I'd... heh heh..." the man said, his face twisted into a sleazy grin, making his intentions clear.

A normal father would have slapped anyone who spoke about his daughter like that. However, gambling had already stripped Angus of his humanity. In order to get his accomplice to fully commit to their scheme, he said something that made Rena want to kill him.

He grinned at his friend and said, "No rush. You want to sleep with my daughter? That's no big deal."

"Once I get the money from that celebrity, I'll bring her home, and you can have your way with her."

"We're good friends. As long as you help me out, I won't let you down."

Angus's words enraged Rena. Normally timid, she shouted at him, "Angus, are you even human? I'm your daughter!"

The word "daughter" didn't awaken any conscience in Angus. He shamelessly replied, "So what if you're my daughter? Isn't you, as a daughter, supposed to repay me?"

"Who you sleep with doesn't matter. If you were like other daughters and brought me lots of money, I wouldn't have to do this."

"Once I get the money from Michael, you just need to sleep with my friend for a few days. It's just a few days."

Angus no longer deserved to be called a father. No father would treat his daughter like an object.

With Angus's words, his friend grew bolder. Ignoring the ugly Chloe beside Rena, he reached out to touch Rena's face.

Usually timid, Rena could no longer bear it when she saw such a filthy hand. She grabbed a large floor tile and, with a resounding thud, smashed it against the man's head.

Drunk and dazed, the man collapsed.

Seeing Rena's ropes were cut, Angus shouted in alarm and lunged at her.

In the past, Rena wouldn't have resisted, but now she was completely disillusioned with Angus. She had no fatherly feelings left for him.

Just as Angus, baring his teeth and claws, lunged at Rena, she didn't hesitate. She grabbed a partially used paint bucket nearby and slammed it over Angus's head.

Instantly, Angus's face was covered in paint. Forgetting to hit Rena, he reached up to try to pull the paint bucket off his head.

While Angus was fumbling and struggling, Rena seized the opportunity. She picked up a used construction rod and began to beat Angus with it.

Seeing Rena fight back so fiercely, Chloe couldn't help but cheer her on. "Rena, great job! Keep hitting him!"

Encouraged by Chloe, Rena attacked Angus with renewed vigor. Drunk and blinded by paint, Angus had no choice but to take the beating.

Soon, Angus was on the ground. Rena didn't spare his friend either, hitting him until he couldn't fight back.

With both men incapacitated, Rena quickly untied Chloe.

Free at last, Rena pulled Chloe to leave, but Chloe had other plans. She stretched her arms, picked up the stick Rena had used, and gave the two men another beating.

Worried they might retaliate, Rena urged, "Chloe, let's go..."

Chloe chuckled and said, "Leave now? That would be too easy on these bastards."

Rena looked at Chloe and asked softly, "Chloe, what do you want to do?"

Chloe snorted, "Of course, we need to send them to jail. People like this are a danger to society."

Hearing this, Rena fell silent.

Noticing Rena's hesitation, Chloe asked, "Rena, are you hesitating because he's your father?"
