She began speaking calmly. “Guys, there’s something I want to tell you. Human trafficking and forced surrogacy or egg donation are crimes.
“Women are not surrogacy machines. A womb must never be a tool of trade, and a baby should never be treated as amodity for dirty deals.
“And to certain women out there who are seeking someone <i>to </i>carry a child for them–I understand you don’t want to suffer and would rather pay a poor woman to do it.
“But remember, this world is full of wealthy and powerful people who also don’t want to suffer.
“As long as you’re not at the very top of the food chain, you will be prey to someone else. The moment you
think you’re above others, there will always be someone standing above you, ready to enve you.
“Ladies, beware of illegal egg trafficking. No matter what hardships you face, never trade your body for money.
“And to those who have been deceived–please don’t give up. Being tricked and hurt is not your fault; it’s the trafficker’s fault. Don’t demean yourselves. Victims are innocent.
“Women are not weaklings who need to cling to men to survive. Every woman can live a brilliant life on her own.”
As the car slowly rolled to a stop, Olivia finished her words.
She turned her head toward Ang, her gaze firm. “Ang, did you hear that?”
Ang stared nkly for a moment.
Since escaping the town, her fear had only grown. She felt that even after getting out, she could never live like her peers again.
She thought about how her body had been ruined after being tricked intoing here, how she had no idea where her eggs had been taken.
Meanwhile, her ssmates and friends were all headed toward bright, promising futures.
In just three short months, her sense of inferiority had seeped deep into her bones.
<b>But </b>when Olivia stood there, arms crossed and smiling warmly at her, she felt as though a wellspring of courage had risen in her heart.
“You’re right.” Ang’s eyes glistened with tears as a warmth spread through her chest. “The most important thing for a girl isn’t her chastity–it’s her dignity, and the courage to face hardship without yielding.”

The more afraid she was, the more she must step outside and face the world.

[I’m literally crying. MysticHealer, what you said makes so much sense. I’m giving you a like.]
[MysticHealer, you’re so kind. Noticing the struggles women face–you’re truly a broadcaster with a conscience.]
[Don’t lose hope,dies who’ve been deceived. The ones guilty are those bad people, not you.]
“Alright, let’s go in then.” Olivia cast a nce at Steven. “It’s time to settle the score.”

Meanwhile, Richard, who was speeding toward them, was drenched in sweat from nerves. He frantically dialed Paul’s number, but it just wouldn’t go through.
With every sentence Olivia spoke, he felt like he’d be sentenced to another year in prison. Panic rising, he floored the elerator, but somehow the car still felt unbearably slow.
Rushing toward the scene from another direction was Andrew.
The mountain road was too rugged for a sports car, so Andrew ordered a mountain–specialized vehicle to be brought over.
Ethan could sense Andrew growing more and more severe, with a faintly dangerous air in his expression. That feeling had only intensified since Andrew first learned Olivia had been tricked.
Even though Andrew said out loud that he trusted Olivia and wasn’t worried about her, Ethan could see it–the coldness in Andrew’s eyes was deepening, and he was close to shredding the handkerchief in his hands.
“Olivia’s there,” Jenny said, holding up her tablet and pointing to a spot on the screen. “Ethan, drive!”
Jenny had only barely pinpointed Olivia’s location by cracking the livestream’s IP address. But Ethan was still waiting for Andrew’s order.
“Hurry up, Andrew<i>,” </i>Jenny couldn’t understand why he had to act cool at such a critical moment.
