My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1427

I frowned when I saw this scene. How could they be so cold-blooded to give their daughter away?

"Wait a minute!" This time, it was Sheridan who spoke. He stared at Rick and said, "What betrothal gift did you give them?"

Rick seemed to be in his forties. He was fat and sturdy. He stared at Sheridan and said, "A hundred thousand dollars. Why? Are you also interested in this child?"

Sheridan frowned, pursed his lips and said with some disgust, "I will compensate you the money. Let her go!"

Rick suddenly burst into laughter. He looked exceptionally ferocious and hateful, "It seems like you are trying to be the hero. My son is dead and I'm trying to bring this little girl back to help me continue our bloodline. Are you trying to stop me? If you are actually interested in this girl, I don't mind letting you have her. However, Gail has so many daughters. Do you think you can save all of them?"

Rick was right. In this kind of situation, Sheridan shouldn't have intervened. It would just ricochet into more trouble. Even if Sheridan were to really save this girl, Gail still had many other daughters. He could just find another one to replace her. After all, Susan had murdered his son. The only person they could take revenge on was Gail.

Sheridan frowned. He was aware of the truth. He knew what the situation was and thus he didn't say another word. There was nothing we could do about it.

I was a little annoyed and worried. I stared at Rick and said, "It's fine if you want to take the child away. I'll just call the police. It's true that Susan had killed your son, so the police will go and arrest her. But if you were to kill someone here or even think of bringing one of their daughters back home, then the same will go for you. I'm not capable of doing much and thus I won't intervene, but I'm still capable of calling the cops."
