Chapter 450 - 444: Your Parents Are Waiting for You

"Are you guys nuts? The production team would have to be insane to do this. They aren’t idiots. This is a national livestream involving a potential human trafficking case. How could they possibly fake this?"

"The people calling this fake must be Chloe Sinclair’s anti-fans, right? I just went to the official website and really did see a photo that looks a lot like the woman, but I can’t be sure if it’s her. After all, the woman on the livestream looks very different from the one in the online missing person notice."

"Whether it’s real or not, some netizens have already called the police. Now we just wait for an official announcement."

While everyone was fiercely debating online, the livestream’s popularity exploded, sending it to the top of the trending charts on all major platforms.

A topic about *Country Life* encountering a live human trafficking scene shot to the top of the trending lists.

However, most people believed it was all just for show.

Back on site, Chloe Sinclair and the others were confronting the man directly.

The man’s face was sallow, and a scar between his eyebrows gave his gaze a sinister edge.

"If you keep making trouble, believe me, I’ll get the village chief over here, and you can forget about filming here anymore!"

Chloe Sinclair was unfazed. She grabbed the chain fastened around the woman’s ankle, snapped it with her bare hands, and threw it to the ground.

The thick, black chain shattered into several pieces the moment it hit the ground, making a sharp cracking sound.

A muscle in the man’s face twitched, and a flash of fear crossed his eyes.

"You say she’s your wife?"

Chloe Sinclair’s gaze was sharp as she demanded, "Who in the world treats their wife like this?"

The woman’s ankle was covered in black and blue bruises, and even through the camera, you could see traces of blood on her skin.

Anyone could tell that the woman must have been here for a very long time.

And yet, the man before them acted as if he were in the right, believing he was just disciplining his wife, showing no remorse whatsoever.

"Are you crazy? I already told you! She’s my wife, so I’ll control her however I want and beat her however I want!"

Even though Chloe Sinclair had already guessed the grim reality of the situation, she was still stunned for a moment when she heard those words.

She stared at the man in disbelief.

’I can’t believe people like this actually exist in the world.’

This mountain village wasn’t particularly remote. Many of its young people had gone to university, and even the older generation had some education—at the very least, they were literate.

But the man’s words were truly inhuman.

Chloe Sinclair helped the woman to her feet. Gabriel Sinclair immediately stepped forward and said softly, "I’ll get her out of here."

"Okay."

Chloe was about to let go of the woman, but she clung to her tightly in fear.

Chloe paused. Realizing what was wrong, she gently patted the back of the woman’s hand and lowered her voice. "Don’t be afraid. This is my brother. You’ll be able to go home soon."

"Your parents are looking for you."

Chloe Sinclair’s words made the woman pause, her expression flickering with emotion.

She glanced at Gabriel Sinclair. He looked vaguely familiar, but she didn’t sense any danger from him, so she nodded.

After the woman left, Chloe Sinclair’s gaze returned to the hideous-looking man.

Suddenly, Chloe Sinclair let out a soft laugh. "You don’t think this is over, do you?"

The man froze, his brow furrowed tightly. "What do you mean?"

’What do I mean?’

’Is he playing dumb?’

"Is there a single thing you’ve done that isn’t enough to land you in serious trouble under the laws of Zenthia?"

The man finally panicked. He wanted to run, but Chloe Sinclair was standing right in the doorway, and the room had no windows—only a couple of glass tiles in the roof.
