Chapter 1 Checking on Her Virginity

Chapter 1 Checking on Her Virginity

“Ms. Lopez, please take off your clothes.” A middle-aged maid said indifferently with her eyes lowered, showing little respect to Charlotte Lopez.

Charlotte bit her bottom lip and asked, “Why do I have to take off my clothes?”

The maid chuckled and replied contemptuously, “Madame Clark has spent a lot to buy you back as an auspicious bride, what’s wrong with it for us to check on the goods?”

Charlotte's face turned pale. Feeling quite embarrassed, she clutched the hem of her top and said, “I… I haven’t had a boyfriend.”

But the maid acted as if she hadn’t heard her words and urged impatiently, “Hurry up. Madame Clark is waiting for me to report to her.”

Charlotte bit her lip so hard that it almost bled.

Yesterday, she was still the second daughter of the Lopez family. Though she was not favored and was always bullied, she had never encountered such humiliation. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Charlotte had been aware that her father, her stepmother, and her stepsister all disliked her because she was an illegitimate daughter, but she hadn’t expected that her father would actually sell her to the other family as an auspicious child bride just to fill the huge capital hole of the Lopez Medical Corporation.

Before she left, her sister, Vivian Lopez, specially came to her room and told her in detail about how her demon-like husband-to-be killed innumerable people mercilessly.

Everyone knew that the Clark family in Seyso was a big family which had existed for several hundred years and was in control of the lifeblood of the country Guabia. The family's patriarch, Nelson Clark, was said to be a bloodthirsty, cruel, moody, and crafty demon.

Anyone who heard of his name would try to avoid meeting him, not to mention marrying him. Therefore, when this demon was on the verge of death due to serious injuries, his grandmother, Elizabeth Young, wanted to find an auspicious bride and later picked out Charlotte.

The Lopez Medical Corporation needed money, while the Clark family wanted an auspicious child bride. This deal was beneficial to both of them, so they reached the cooperation soon. Charlotte, who was sold like goods, was taken into a dark room by the servants for checking on her virginity on the first day when she arrived at the Clarks’ mansion.

The maid got impatient and snapped loudly with a frown, “Ms. Lopez, I called you so to show you respect, but please don’t put on the air as if you’re a noble lady. I’m very clear about who you are. You're unhappy about it. So am I. Who knows how long you will be able to survive? Mr. Clark kills people like killing flies. Maybe one day you’ll also…”

“Stop.” Charlotte’s voice was low and gentle. It was the typical soft tone of the girls from the South. “I… I’ll do it.”

The maid raised her brows and sneered. She then casually looked Charlotte up and down.

She had to admit that this girl, who was bought easily by Madame Clark as an auspicious bride, was good-looking. Her palm-size face was delicate and her brows and eyes made her look extremely beautiful. Her eyes looked as clear as vitreous beads that had no trace of impurities. Her skin was surprisingly ivory and tender, looking as smooth as milk.

Moreover, she was only 18 and hadn’t grown up. If she was lucky enough to survive, she would definitely grow up to be an attractive woman.

When Charlotte put her slender, ivory fingers on the buttons of her top and was about to unbutton it, someone suddenly shouted outside the room, “Scarlet, Madame Clark asked you to take her to the Malus Garden. Seems like Mr. Clark is dying!”

Scarlet was dumbfounded for a while. Then she replied, “But I haven’t checked on her virginity…”
