Chapter 1504 Supporting Her

• It wasn't until that moment that I realized how hard and bitter the years in the Marrow family had been for her. When I found her, she was so fragile that a gust of wind could seemingly knock her over. Her complexion bore the marks of long-term malnutrition. Calluses adorned her hands, a testament to years of arduous, heavy labor. What pained me the most were the numerous bruises, both old and fresh, scattered across her body. It became evident that, despite enduring hunger, sleep deprivation, and being denied an education, she was still subjected to various forms of physical abuse by those two from the Marrow family under the flimsiest of pretexts!
• All those years, the money I gave them was squandered by Nigel on gambling. Not a penny was spent on Neera! The reason they resisted letting me take her away was twofold: fear of their deeds being exposed, and a desire to continue using Neera as a tool for extortion! I also learned that the reason they didn't take her in, when she had nothing and nowhere to go, was due to the Garcia family. They anticipated her being driven out and, with ruthless intent, gave the Marrow family a large sum of money, forbidding them from sheltering her!
• Of course, the Garcia family is no more, and there are no witnesses to this matter. But if you wish to verify the truth of my words, a simple examination of the Marrow family's accounts will reveal all. Following that revelation, I took Neera away and left the country. I had contemplated revealing the entire truth to her, but it seemed excessively harsh. I didn't want her to endure more suffering, so I've maintained silence on the matter. However, Neera proved to be much stronger and more resilient than I had envisioned. I knew she harbored resentment towards the Marrow family, and understandably so. Anyone treated in such a manner would find it hard to feel gratitude. Yet, even in the face of such mistreatment, Neera didn't completely sever ties with the Marrow family. Instead, as she became financially capable, she sent funds to them multiple times.
