Chapter 426
“Your fortunes? That is why you disregard other people’s lives. Because of your fortunes.” Marina gritted her teeth.
To make his living, the boss had no qualms about ruining peoples‘ lives and livelihoods.
“I was wrong. I know my mistakes now. Doesn’t everyone in your country say that it is better late than never to know your mistakes and change?
“As long as you give me a chance, I will turn over a new leaf and start anew.
“I won’t do such outrageous things anymorel” The boss was quite familiar with Calirina’s culture.
He was eloquent in his words and talked non–stop.
Nevertheless, Marina had seen too many people like him.
They would cry and shed crocodile tears when they were desperate to live.
And they could make all kinds of promises.
But once you spared their lives, their true colors would surface again.
Not only would they not change, they would continue their old ways and even target you as their enemies, vowing to bring you down at all costs.
“Hmph, you have put up a realistic performance. But, it is a pity that I am never a sucker for this.
“If you are truly remorseful, you should repent to your God!” Marina swung her hand down on him in a swift move.
The boss fainted on the spol.
“Go upstairs and search. Get hold of any clues that can be useful and take care of all the girls that have not been auctioned yet.” Marina instructed Oscar and Lee.
“Yes!” The two of them immediately went upstairs.
After finally dealing with everything. Marina sat down on the sofa, exhausted.
“You did well.” Simon slowly walked in front of her and looked at her proudly.
“When I was in the country previously, I knew this was a very dark business.”
“But at that time, I did not bother to pull the plug on them.
“Because I feel it is impossible to uproot the cause of this business. Even if I destroy this one auction house, there will be others sprouting up.
“As long as there is a transaction, unscrupulous dealings like this will happen, and harm is bound to happen. “But from the looks of it now, I was overthinking. I shouldn’t have cared about whether there are transactions.
“I should have torn down every single place like this every time I see one,” Simon spoke with a hint of brutishness.
“You’ve done well so far. You’re not a savior, and you don’t have to be responsible for the lives of those people.” Simon could feel the guilt emanating from Marina.
He caressed Marina’s head and comforted her gently.
“I just hate those people so much whenever I think of Sharon.” Marina could not help but clench her fists.
She was the one who brought Sharon home.
Lambert, Marina’s brother, liked her very much, too.
Sharon was always hanging around Lambert.
The two of them got along very well.
Marina had thought that she had done a good deed.
However, Marina had failed to protect Sharon.
Yet, she was the one who brought Sharon back.
“I will be with you from now on,” Simon said firmly.
When Marina heard that, she looked up at him.
Simon gently caressed her face.
“No matter what you want to do, I will be by your side.”

“If you don’t like such places, I’ll help you destroy them.” Simon did not look perfunctory.
“Okay,” Marina replied in a low voice as she slowly buried her head in his arms.
Oscar and Lee were very efficient.
In less than half an hour, they had searched the entire house.
Oscar found many appalling documents in the study room of the boss.
Lee also found a lot of girls that had yet to auction as commodities in the basement under the house.
A large proportion were foreign women.
People from the country preferred such foreign women with petite frames.
They felt that they looked more exquisite and were the embodiment of perfection.
However, most of them had already been tamed.
Just like Sharon back then.
They would be unable to fend for themselves if they returned to society now.
Therefore, Marina could only instruct Lee and the others to find a place for them to settle down for the time being.
Then Lee would go and look for their families.
If they had a family, Lee would send them back. If they were sure that they did not have a family, they would think of a way to let them adapt to society again.
After they had settled everything, Marina set the house on fire.
The world did not need a place like this. A place filled with darkness!
By the time they returned from the auction house, dawn was beginning to break.
Marina had wanted to get down to finding the location of Nighthawks immediately.
However, Simon was worried her body could not take it if she kept pushing herself.
So he forced her back to the hotel.
He would not allow Marina to take any actions until she had rested.
Marina could not dissuade Simon, so she could only follow him back to the hotel.
However, as soon as they returned to the hotel, the person in charge of taking care of Sharon came to update them on the status of Sharon.
He told them that Sharon had woken up.
Marina could not wait to see Sharon when she heard that and immediately went to Sharon’s room. She could not care about resting now.
However, when Marina reached the door, she heard noises of struggles coming from inside the room.
Once Marina pushed the door open and entered, she saw the medical staff trying to subdue Sharon, who was berserk.
“What’s wrong with her?” Marina frowned.
“We’re not too sure now. She turned aggressive the moment she woke up.”
“We suspect that it might have something to do with the drugs injected into her body,” the medical staff explained.
While talking, the medical staff had already tied Sharon up with a restraining belt.
He had also injected her with a tranquilizer.
The tranquilizer quickly took effect, and Sharon fell asleep soon after.
Marina’s brows furrowed tight as she looked at Sharon lying on the bed.
“Think of a way to make her regain her senses as soon as possible,” Marina instructed in a low voice.
Because she still needed to ask Sharon about Lambert.
After all, she was always with Lambert.
So, she must know something about him.
“Yes!” The medical staff replied.
Marina took one last look at Sharon before turning around and leaving the room.

When she returned to her bedroom, Marina collapsed straight onto the bed.
Even though every cell in her body was screaming with fatigue, sleep could not find her.
As soon as Marina closed her eyes, countless images would flash across her mind. It was like they were swallowing her up. She could hear Lambert screaming in pain and Peter crying for help.
It was so perturbing that she could not sleep at all.
“Marina, I made you a cup of warm milk. You should be able to sleep better after drinking it. Simon brought a cup of milk
