One Night Surprise

Chapter 398 Just Wait and See

Poppy nodded thoughtfully. “Now that you mention it, these things do seem to be for a child. You know what? Fatso often leaves the island. Dragon doesn’t let anyone leave the island, but those under him would secretly take some of the drugs in stock out of the island to sell them. It’s Fatso who takes them out of the island and brings them back every single time. Whenever he came back, the bag he carried on his back would bulge.”

“The bag was filled with stuff he bought for the kid, I suppose.”

“But why doesn’t he keep his child here if he has one?”

“Perhaps he can’t do so.” Courtney darted a glance at the second floor of the log cabin outside. “Since the kid’s on the island, I guess Fatso’s late wife used to be on the island too.”

The crux of the matter is how she died. Dragon trusts Buffy, the unsmiling, stony-faced guy, more than he trusts anyone else, but he seems to have a soft spot for Fatso, who look like a dumb fatty whose only merit is his strength. He can’t possibly be unaware for such a long time that Fatso has left the island without his permission, but he turns a blind eye to it. There must be a reason behind this, thought Courtney.

When Fatso brought her out of the small boat that day, she was tied up in the gunnysack and was barely conscious. However, she noticed that something was wrong with Fatso when Lil’ Mackaque mentioned his wife. “In any case, it’s absolutely right to start with Fatso first.” Courtney produced two gachapon capsules that were painted in bright colors from the pocket of her down coat. “Find an opportunity to give these to him.”

These capsules were originally bought for Tina. She liked this kind of thing the most, for one would never know what was in the capsule until they opened it. Every kid loved gacha capsules—just as every lady loved cosmetics.

Poppy took the capsules and studied them for a while with a curious expression. It seemed that she had never seen these before. “You townspeople really have had a lot of things to play with since childhood. Mountain people like us would never get to see these things in our lives unless we were shameless enough to leave our parents behind in the mountains.”

Courtney had mixed feelings when she heard Poppy’s words. Poppy had impersonated Belle and pretended to be Jordan’s mother, and she even seduced Alexander on purpose and set Courtney up afterward. Even so, Courtney couldn’t bring herself to hate her. In reality, Poppy was only in her twenties, and she came to stay with Britney without knowing anything. However, she didn’t expect her life would become a living hell that she had a hard time escaping.

Courtney promised, “Once we get out of here, I’ll definitely find a way to send you to a place where no one knows you. Once you’re there, live your life to the fullest and see everything you’ve never seen in the past, okay?”

depressed while holding the two capsules. “I’m sorry about what has happened before, Courtney,” she said. Then, without waiting for Courtney’s response, she turned around, wiped her tears away, and took a deep breath. Then, she shouted at the figure outside the window, “I’m hungry,
