Chapter 51
“Yeomans spread rumors to force abandoned daughter to marry a cripple for a wedding gift of 30
thousand dollars.”
Viewership numbers of the “Looking For Family” program had risen quite steadily. When lan invited Audrey
onstage, the ratings skyrocketed.
On the screen, Audrey gripped the microphone and spoke slowly, “I heard what the Yeomanses said when | was
backstage earlier. Mrs. Yeomans said she had been kind to the so-called daughter-in-law she bought for 30
thousand dollars.
“She claimed to have fed my biological mother when she was unwell, but she didn’t mention that
Wayne had beaten my mother so badly that she was unable to feed herself.”
Adam yelled emotionally, “You're lying! Mom was pampered. She never worked at home, and Dad ever laid a
finger on her! Audrey, you can’t be so unconscionable as to slander Dad!”
As Adam's words fell, the hospital's injury report appeared on the big screen, along with faceless photos of a
wretched body covered in scars.

Audrey explained, “This is the injury report that Mr. Lambert asked the hospital to issue after my mother escaped
from Sayeno Town before she died.”
Red lines marked the key points of the injury report.
“Big and small, new and old injuries were visible. There were 28 fractures around the body, and small pieces of
the skull were also missing.”
Audrey continued, “This picture was taken by the police. This is where my mother was imprisoned by
the Yeomans family.” She looked up at the big screen.
The damp and moldy basement had been photographed when the police filed a case years ago. Inside stood a
blood-stained bed and iron chains, as well as bloody marks when Wanda had scratched the
walls. It was a gruessight to behold.
Audrey divulged, “My mother was abducted to Sayeno Town when she was 16 years old. She gave birth toat
17. During her imprisonment, she was continuously forced to conceive and give birth.
“Whenever the baby was a girl, the midwife in Sayeno Town would throw her onto the floor or scald her to death
with boiling water. She did this beforeand my mother every time, without exception.
Because of this, my mother lost her mind.”
According to the story that the Lambert family had fashioned for Wanda, she had been abducted at the age of
16. But in fact, Wanda had been abducted when she was 15 and had given birth to her first child, Audrey, by 16.
“My mother was trapped in a living hell for over ten years until the end of her life.” Audrey clutched the
microphone tightly.

“Everyone in the Yeomans family is a devil who tortured my mother in hell. That includesand Adam, as we're
both evidence of the Yeomanses' persecution of my mother!
“The evidence of sin itself is innocent, but sin is sin. If we still have a conscience, we should never disturb the
victim's father, Mr. Lambert, for the rest of our lives, whatever reason there may be. Unless the so-called family
reunion comes with ulterior motives, such as coveting Mr. Lambert's property.”
Daphne watched as Audrey calmly recounted the past on the screen. She looked at Audrey with disbelief as she
spooned food onto her plate.
“Before the recording of today’s program, Mr. Turner suggested that | hand over the phone recording to the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmproduction team without revealing my identity so as not to cause trouble in the future.
“But | know if | hadn't shown up, the Yeomanses would disclose my information and spread false sexual rumors
aboutafter the program is broadcast.
“They will use public opinion to forceout of school, then marryoff to Claude in exchange for a sumptuous
wedding gift for Adam. I'd rather face this head-on.”
Audrey continued clearly, “I've lived in Sayeno Town for ten years. Growing up, I've seen 36 abducted women.
Nine of them were beaten to death due to disobedience or escape attempts. Five were driven
crazy,
four committed suicide, and seven died in childbirth.
“Sof the others have resigned themselves to their fate and blended into life there, while swere
tormented like my mother was. They were all subjected to inhuman torture, abuse, and beatings
daily.
“Ever since | can remember, whenever my mother went into labor, | was taken to the basement of her
imprisonment, then beaten and abused.
“The Yeomanses believe a daughter's misery could scare any girl from wanting to be born into the Yeomans
family. The burns on my body are from that time.”
