Chapter 316 Save Me
“Hello, Dad…” Wynter uttered.
A voice came from the other end of the line. “I saw the news. Don’t resist. Your brothers are at a crucial stage now, so we can’t afford to offend the Freedman clan!”
Wynter felt her heart sink after hearing that, and tears formed in her eyes.
Her father added, “Wynter, you’re not young anymore. Don’t fight back today. Once things are over, I’ll head over to the Freedman Clan’s headquarters to settle the matter. The Lowe family still needs the Freedman clan’s assistance!”
The call ended abruptly.
A chill filled Wynter’s heart, and she could no longer hold back her tears.
Do they not care about my happiness in the slightest? Will Sebastian even take me as his wife? His fiancée is at Jadeborough, so what am I to him?
“Go on, continue calling whoever you need.” Sebastian wasn’t anxious as he pinned his eyes on Wynter from top to bottom. He enjoyed the sight of Wynter being desperate as it brought him the joy of having power.
Surprisingly, Wynter did not give up and proceeded to phone her elder brother, who was the one who adored her the most. “Brother, I…”
A long sigh came from the other end of the line. “Wynter, I’m sure you understand the current situation. We’re entering the core market of Tudela state soon. Besides, can the Lowe family stand a chance against the Freedman clan?”
Wynter choked with sobs. “Don’t we have the slightest chance to fight back? Are you all going to let him defile me?”
“No, not at all,” a deep voice answered. “That’s just how it is.”
The call was abruptly cut off.
Wynter refused to give in. After pondering for some time, she ended up calling her grandfather. The pillar of the Lowe family!
Old Mr. Lowe was in Jadeborough. Before retiring, he was an influential person, with disciples all over the world.
“Grandpa, save me,” Wynter pleaded.
The elder kept quiet for a long time before opening his mouth to speak. “From when I saw the news, I made one hundred and thirty calls. No one dared to stand up against this. Even your fiancé, Claude Wheeler, doesn’t dare to show up!”
Claude belonged to the Wheeler family of Jadeborough. His family was almost on par with the Freedman clan, which had maintained their wealth for five hundred years.
Claude was Wynter’s childhood sweetheart. They grew up together and were even in an arranged marriage, yet he wasn’t even picking up his phone.
It was a joke since the Wheeler family was no match for the Freedman clan.
The other prestigious families, such as the Campbell clan, wouldn’t bother to say anything. On the contrary, they were happily watching the drama.
“Wynter, I’m old and useless now, so I can’t do anything to help you,” her grandfather said in a shaky voice. It was apparent that he was sad too. “Pass the phone to Sebastian.”
Sebastian took the phone and said in annoyance, “Hello, Old Mr. Lowe…”
The elder’s voice rang out. “Sebastian, what are your conditions for letting Wynter go?”
Sebastian replied, “There are none. I’m going to sleep with her today. Come and beat me to death if you have the guts to do so.”
“Don’t be in a rush to harm her. Let me phone your parents before you do anything,” the elder responded.
“Even if you called the king, it would be futile.” Sebastian scoffed. “Even if the gods came, I wouldn’t throw my pride aside for you. The Lowe family is nothing! If you keep blabbering on, I’ll tear the Lowe family to bits. You shall witness my powers with your own eyes!” Sebastian’s patience was wearing thin.
Then, he threw the phone back to Wynter.
“Wynter, I’m so sorry that I can’t help you, nor can the Lowe family. It’s all for the greater good…” The elder started shedding tears at the end of his words.
How cruel could people be? It has been just three years since I stepped down. Is there no one willing to defend me?
Wynter was devastated as she ended the call. Finally, she phoned Claude. “Claude…”
The latter swiftly said, “I’m sorry, but there’s nothing I can do. Take care.”
He hung up the call, and Sebastian guffawed.
On the other hand, Tyrone, from the Campbell clan, grinned from ear to ear when he received the news firsthand. “Sebastian is rather interesting.”
