My Manor

There was no conversation that night. The next morning, Jiang Hai first took the girls to the mall and bought them new clothes. Although Jiang Hai was very stingy with himself—well, it wasn't stinginess, but he really didn't like high-class clothes—he was still very generous to others. Everyone bought a set of clothes, and the price of each set wasn't cheap. The fifteen girls who stayed behind spent nearly 20,000 US dollars in total on Jiang Hai, which was equivalent to more than 1,000 US dollars per person. These girls had never imagined this before. It's said that clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse—look at the appearance and see through it. Although these girls had some congenital flaws, it may be true that when God closes a door for you, He always opens a window. These girls hadn't eaten enough for many years and lived in poor conditions, so they were all very thin. The fattest girl weighed no more than 110 pounds.

Their skin was also very white and tender. The most important thing was that those men were not blind. Since they wanted these girls to engage in that kind of service, they must have been looking for very beautiful girls. So, when these girls put on new clothes, they were no longer the same as they had been the day before. If they hadn't had the inferiority complex they had developed from years of work and had put on a confident attitude, they could have gone to the catwalk to model.

Jiang Hai couldn't help but stare at these girls. To be honest, some of them looked as good as Cindy Clive, though not exactly the same. Among these girls, the ones that caught Jiang Hai's attention the most were the twins. After they had washed up, both girls looked really good. Big eyes, blue eyes, fair skin, and golden curly hair—everything fit the characteristics of a blonde beauty. But both had small faces, and they looked very cute while being delicate.

Especially after they changed into the same clothes, even Jiang Hai was stunned. They were indeed a perfect pair of big lolitas. Especially these big lolitas kept looking at Jiang Hai pitifully, making him feel a little overwhelmed.

After changing clothes, Jiang Hai treated everyone to a big meal. After the meal, several welfare homes that had been contacted sent people to pick up the girls under the age of 18. Although these girls were reluctant to leave, compared to trusting Jiang Hai, returning to the welfare home seemed like a good option, especially after they learned that the new welfare home he found for them was much better than the previous one. They were somewhat tempted, and even if they were not happy there, they remembered what Jiang Hai had said—that when they came of age, they could come to him, and he would definitely hire them. This was also their future way out.

After the girls left, the remaining ten girls—eight of whom went to a nearby hospital with Jiang Hai for a comprehensive physical examination—were examined because Jiang Hai wanted to hire them. He needed to ensure their health. This wasn't out of petty concern; he just needed to know if his employees were suitable for work. After all, they had previously done such work, and Jiang Hai was afraid they might bring in incurable diseases, which would be troublesome. Fortunately, these women only had some common traumatic diseases, in addition to extreme malnutrition and hypoglycemia. The feared diseases did not exist. Then they went to the law firm of the local welfare agency to sign a labor contract. Since their work was different from that of cowboys and fishermen, they didn't have those survival skills, so Jiang Hai had them do some odd jobs. The main task was to grow grapes, which would later be used for winemaking. Of course, under normal circumstances, they would also take care of the vegetables on the manor. Other miscellaneous work was also assigned to them, as long as it was within their ability.

For example, they could clean up weeds regularly or clean the parking lot. They were still competent for these jobs since they didn't require technical skills and weren't too tiring.

Jiang Hai paid them 400 US dollars a week, which amounted to 28,000 US dollars a year. While this wasn't much, it was still more than their previous income. But here, they gained dignity, and the most important thing was that they didn't have anything to spend. Jiang Hai provided food and accommodation. If they didn't want to work, they could leave at any time, and Jiang Hai would not stop them. The money they had earned previously would not reach them. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to live in such a place and wear such clothes. Do you think those thirteen men were just decorations?

When they saw the agreement, the remaining eight girls quickly signed it. For them, working at Jiang Hai's manor was a new life.

The other terms of the contract were similar. The only difference was that the welfare agency would check from time to time to ensure Jiang Hai was not abusing these special girls, or that something inappropriate had not happened. To the welfare agency, Jiang Hai had helped the girls secure jobs, but they couldn't be sure of his true intentions. After all, these girls were very beautiful.

Jiang Hai couldn't help but laugh at this... After the eight girls signed the contract, Jiang Hai called Robbins, who was still at the farm, and asked him and Philemon to drive the remaining two cars together. Otherwise, they wouldn't have enough space for all the girls. When the task was completed, Jiang Hai's two F750s appeared on the streets of Boston.

Although there were many luxury cars on the streets of the United States, the sudden appearance of three super pickups attracted a lot of attention, especially from these ten girls. They had initially thought Jiang Hai's car from yesterday was already domineering enough, but today, seeing the F750, which was a size larger than the F650, they were once again shocked. They climbed into the cars cautiously. Maybe they were still a little afraid of Robbins and Philemon and didn't dare sit in the front seats. Instead, they squeezed into the back row. Robbins and Philemon were speechless. Did they really look like bad guys? Well, these two didn't exactly look like good guys.

Six people were sitting in the two F750s, so the remaining four squeezed into Jiang Hai's car. Fortunately, the car was wide, and the girls were not fat, so they still managed to squeeze in. As for Jiang Hai's co-pilot seat, the oldest girl among them sat there. Eventually, they all fit in. Then, Jiang Hai, Robbins, and Philemon took the remaining ten girls back to the manor. The two girls hadn't found a place yet, so they came back with them. Jiang Hai had arranged for the welfare home to pick up the two girls tonight. Whether the girls would leave or not, he had no idea.

As for Moses Adams, after watching Jiang Hai sign the contract with the girls, he left first. He didn't run away, but went to contact the welfare agency. Although he was still uncertain about Jiang Hai's intentions, he had to follow Jiang Hai's literal meaning. He couldn't just ignore the two girls, so he decided to bring them back as well.

"Afra, this is our manor." After a while, Jiang Hai's motorcade saw his manor from afar. Pointing to the huge manor in front of him, Jiang Hai said to the girl sitting next to him.

Since he had signed the contract, Jiang Hai now knew the names of the ten girls. The girl sitting next to him was Afra Arnold, a 21-year-old French girl and the oldest among them. When Jiang Hai asked who wanted to stay, she was the first to stand up. Although he didn't know much, Jiang Hai could see she was full of hope for a new life, and Jiang Hai was the catalyst for that hope.

"It's very beautiful." Looking at the snow-white manor in front of her, Afra's big eyes flashed, and she made a gentle gesture.

"What's beautiful now? It's all snow. It'll be beautiful after spring. This side will be a green sea of grass with a long, narrow beach road in the middle. To the east is the real sea. That's beautiful. When I first came here, I was a fool. They asked for 280 million yuan, and I spent 280 million yuan to buy it. Now I think about it and feel a little bit of a loss." Although Jiang Hai didn't know sign language, after a day of contact, he had learned some and said this to the girl.

Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Afra smiled silently. At that moment, she looked like a 21-year-old girl.

Afra was full of hope for her new life. Among the three girls in the back row, only one had a similar mood. Her name was Janice Joy, an 18-year-old girl with a South American mixed body. She had healthy wheat-colored skin, long brown hair, and single eyelids. Though her eyes were small, they were slender, making her look particularly charming, though her personality remained naïve.

At that moment, she was also lying back, looking at the scenery outside. This was where she would work in the future.

As for the remaining twins, they were still considering their options, but Jiang Hai didn't gain nothing from them that day. At least he learned their names. The older sister was called Darlene Evelyn, and the younger sister was Marian Evelyn.

Through the association, Jiang Hai understood that these sisters were the only ones who had been abused at the welfare home before. At the age of twelve, the two sisters escaped from the welfare home and were later found by one of the thirteen men. Originally, they were supposed to be raised for a few years and then go out to work like others, but in order to protect her sister from harm, Darlene learned the skills of stealing. She stole money every day, which they could exchange for food. This is how they survived for two years.
