It finally dawned on me. Lynn wasn't a slut by choice. She was forced to be one.
I had heard of The Dragonshade Society before. Back when I was still in Cyelar, my cousin, Travis White, mentioned that he was dating a beautiful woman from the society. However, he broke up with her in less than a month.
Travis was the type of person who always chased the next new thing. He never took relationships seriously. Whenever he grew interested in a woman, he'd lose interest and break up with her within a month.
However, that beautiful woman was the daughter of the vice leader of The Dragonshade Society, so it wasn't easy for Travis to break things off with her.
That woman bothered Travis for quite a while back then. Eventually, he had no choice but to threaten Elijah. He wanted Elijah to stop the woman from harassing him. Otherwise, Travis would take down The Dragonshade Society.
I was also there when Elijah came over to apologize in person.
I remembered that he was in his 30s. He appeared mature and undeniably masculine. His skin was dark, and his build was solid. Still, his accent gave him a surprisingly soft touch.
Honestly, I had a pretty good impression of him.
Back then, I even told Travis that Elijah was destined for success. I never imagined, though, that he would die and leave Lynn to deal with all this trouble.
I turned to look at Lynn.
Even though I was a man, I couldn't help but think that Elijah was really handsome. It was no wonder that Lynn was willing to be his girlfriend! Nevertheless, he failed to take care of Lynn and his daughter.
I asked, "How did Elijah die?" He was such a strong, gentle, and steady man. So, I didn't think he would be killed so easily.
Lynn's eyes reddened as she bit her lip. "The White family from Gothville are to blame!"
