Chapter 175: Elder Victoria’s trap

"Let me formally introduce him to all of you. This talented young man’s name is Jack. He is the only son-in-law of our family who has come to our family after a decade, following our family’s customs and rules.

From now on, he is one of us. I, the main family elders, and the core members of the family have great respect for this capable young man.

So you all have to behave properly and show respect to him. If I hear that any of you have developed a conflict with him, then that person will have to face punishment according to the family rules."

Everyone was surprised seeing the family head placing this much importance on this person. But they didn’t oppose the decision of the family head.

While Roselyn and her group looked at each other, each of them had a frown on their face.

Seeing the old man placing this much importance on this man, everyone thought that the decision their older cousin made was correct.

They all nodded to themselves in understanding and made their decision even more firm in their minds.

That was to speed up their escape plan. Otherwise, they would be sold to this man by the old family head.

The old female core elder, who was keeping an eye on all the girls, smirked lightly to herself.

Your plans were all destined to fail. Tonight all of you will be taking this man as your husband and escaping the curse in the future.

Soon after the banquet was over, everyone left for their own places to rest in the residence. In the night, Roselyn, who was walking towards her room, suddenly felt dizzy.

"Hmmm.... I didn’t drink much today. But why do I feel like I drank so much today, and why does my body suddenly feel extremely weak?"

After walking a few steps, she collapsed on the ground. Only her eyes were open. She couldn’t move her body. She lay there on the cold floor like a frozen statue and muttered in a weak voice.

"Who dared to drug me like this?"

Her cold eyes started to watch her surroundings vigilantly. She had a bad feeling about the things that were going to happen soon.

So she stayed in an extremely alert state. Soon the secret guards of the family came in front of her and carried her away.

"You.... servants... where are you taking me? Under whose orders are you acting?"

But no matter how many times she questioned them, no one paid her any attention.

This thing happened not only to Roselyn. Her sister Martha and others also fell into the same trap.

Everyone was drugged and carried away. Soon all the twenty women who were trying to escape were gathered before the female core elder, who had been watching them continuously like a hawk from the start.

Roselyn was extremely shocked inside to see the elder of the family looking at them, and her expression showed a mocking and teasing smile.

"Elder Victoria... Did you do all of this? What are you planning by doing this to us?"

The elderly old woman, who was from the same generation as the family head, looked at her family’s trouble makers and said,

"I was only satisfying your requests. You girls requested to challenge the young man, but after the test issued by the family head was over,

all of you thought of escaping from the challenge. From the decision all of you made, the family head issued the order that all of you had conceded the challenge and accepted the defeat by planning to escape.

He also ordered to capture all of you and hand you all over to the son-in-law. From now on all of you are considered his women."

Martha shouted in anger after hearing everything from the elder,

"When did we accept defeat? You are trying to trap us like this by drugging us. What an immoral way of handling things.

I don’t expect a respected elder like you to stoop this low."

The old lady looked at the young cubs glaring at her and questioning her in defiance.

"Heheheh... child... Do you think I will act without evidence?"

She immediately played the video recorded by the hidden cameras in their room when they were in a secret meeting and planning their escape.

In that video, Roselyn was clearly accepting that they couldn’t defeat the man, so they needed to escape from there.

And all of them nodded and accepted her decision.

Roselyn’s mouth twitched lightly. She sighed in her heart. It seemed the old man had been planning this matter for a long time.

She looked at the core elder of the family and asked,

"Elder, no matter what, you should speak with us in a formal manner. Why did you drug us like this?

Do you think we are living in some feudal era? So that you can do whatever you want and force us into this marriage."

Victoria looked at the leader of this group and said in a cold voice,

"Oohhh... Do you think these puny rules made by the government and society can safeguard all of you?

If you defy the orders of the family head, all of you and your close family members will face the family punishment together with you.

Nobody will be able to stop this. All the core family elders accepted the decision after they watched the live challenge in the abandoned mine."

Roselyn, after hearing the threat from the old woman, felt like her entire world was crumbling at that time.

All the other women lying there also felt that they were finished this time.

Elder Victoria, seeing them finally accepting the defeat, chuckled lightly and said,

"Tonight, I have prepared a surprise for everyone."

After saying that, she signaled the female servants waiting nearby. Soon they came before Roselyn, Martha, and the others.

Once again they carried them away without giving them any time to think further about the surprise mentioned by the elder, and everyone felt the hairs on the back of their necks stand up after hearing the eerie chuckle at the end of her words.
