The other man smoked a cigarette and smiled.
There was a hint of familiarity in the way he narrowed his eyes while he smiled.
"It’s a good deal indeed!"
Nell Jennings looked at him and knitted her brows slightly.
She did not know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that the man in front of her exuded a sort of familiarity
This was clearly a face she had never seen before, but the way he held the cigarette, and the way he narrowed his eyes when he smiled, and...
She shook her head.
No, it was impossible!
Why would he be here?
Nell and Nancy did not have a chance to speak, but after those two looked at them, they closed the car door.
Then, they sat in the front and started the car.
The car continued to drive on the rough mountain road again. Nell and Nancy did not speak, and those two men did not pay much attention to them.
Judging by the girls’ well-behaved look, the men only thought that the girls were taught a lesson when they were at Uncle Fred’s place previously.
Once girls fell into this kind of situation, usually at the very beginning, they would not be willing to accept their fate.
More or less, they would resist.
Once they discovered that no matter how much they resisted, it was inevitable to escape their fate in the end, it was only natural that they would give up.
This was what the men thought of Nell and Nancy.
Moreover, in their hearts, they were neither seeking wealth nor harming the girls’ lives. They just wanted to marry them. As long as the girls were obedient and followed orders, they would not deliberately mistreat the girls. What was there to not like about that?
They found that Nell and Nancy did not even have the slightest tendency to resist, so the two brothers did not think much of it at all.
They had just assumed that the girls had already accepted reality.
The car continued to drive slowly on the road.
Nell and Nancy sat up on the hard wooden plank, and now that the men already knew they were awake, they did not continue to pretend.
It was just that they still did not dare to say a word until they had a clear understanding of the other party.
The good thing was that the two men at the front did not take too many precautions. It was probably because they were in a good mood and saw that they were just girls, unarmed and so obedient.
After all, this place was in the middle of nowhere. There was not a single person in sight. The back of the carriage was locked, so if they did not open the door, it would be a problem for the girls to even get out and make some trouble.
Therefore, the two men in front were not in a hurry.
They chatted while on the journey.
From their conversation, Nell vaguely grasped their identities and some details.
These two men should be from that small town nearby that Uncle Fred had mentioned before.
Judging by what they said, their words contained the contents of that town.
Previously, when Nell heard one of the men called the other “Brother”, she thought that these two were siblings.
It was only from their chat that Nell realized that they were not brothers, but merely cousins.
That was already enough.
They had heard from an acquaintance the day before that there were two new girls here that needed buyers.
It just so happened that the two of them were also planning to buy a wife each, so they contacted that acquaintance.
They did not know Uncle Fred and usually contacted a middleman if they needed anything.
Due to this, the man who had gone to Uncle Fred’s house to pick the girls up previously was that middleman.
These two, on the other hand, bought the girls for 30,000 each.
Instead, he stood right next to the carriage, where they were separated by a layer of metal panel, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Nell pressed her lips together and repeated, "I need to go to the bathroom."
"Now?"
The man seemed to frown. His tone was somewhat upset and added, "You can’t go now, but don't worry, there's only slightly more than half an hour to get to town. If you really can't hold it in, just pee in the car. It's fine, I'll help you clean it up later."
Nell was dumbfounded.
Both she and Nancy were black-faced.
How could they expect the other party to answer this way?
The other party would not open the door, so they could not just break the door open and escape.
After all, this was metal, not wood.
Forget about their two bare hands, even if they were given a knife each, it would be difficult to slice through such a thick sheet of metal.
Nell had no choice but to patiently plead.
"No! I...I need to do a number 2!"
She was afraid that the other party would refuse again, and added, "Don't worry, I won't run away. You can come with me, or you can take some kind of rope to tie me up with. I'm a weak woman and I'm not familiar with this place. I can't possibly run away."
The man hesitated slightly at her words.
Perhaps out of pity for her, he said, "Then just wait a little longer! It's just me now. I'll take you when my brother returns."
Nell heard this and knew that there was no other way but to keep quiet.
After about 2 minutes, they could hear the sound of footsteps approaching.
Nell and Nancy knew that his brother had returned.
They exchanged a look and Nell banged on the car door again.
