Imprisoned While Pregnant, She's Back for Payback novel Chapter 429

Chapter 429 Request for Help

Violet, tell the courier to stay for a while. We’ll pay for every loss. Your mother and I are on our way down!”

Two elderly voices burst through the phone, strong and commanding despite the years.

The woman clutched the delivery man’s arm. “Sir, you heard them just now. We’ll pay you back double. Please stay a little longer.”

The delivery man paused, then gave a firm nod. “Alright,” he muttered, voice rough and muffled. The sound made her glance at him again, suspicion flickering in her eyes, but she forced herself to look away.

Violet! How’s everything? Where’s the delivery man?”

Soon, two older figures appeared, leaning on each other as they stepped forward.

Their pace was slow, their years obvious. Yet jewels gleamed on their clothes, and every detail spoke of wealth. Olivia’s hair was glossy, and Benjamin’s posture was straight and steady. They did not look like ordinary elders.

The delivery man raised his eyes once, then quickly lowered them.

“Is this the package from Aetheris?”

Benjamin’s voice was clipped and sharp.

Olivia reached into the box, her fingers stroking the gown inside. The fabric was familiar.

She had chosen it herself years ago. The diamonds on the hem had been mined from the Larsons’ own land in Aldevra.

Her nose burned, her eyes turning red.

“Yes. Ms. Larson had me deliver it. She warned me that the gown was precious. I carried it all the way from Aetheris to Kingsland.”

Ms. Larson? That made Olivia shiver. She rushed forward and gripped the man’s arm.

“You saw her? Tell me. After all this time, how is she? Please tell me she’s well!”

Her gaze locked onto him, full of desperate hope.

He winced at her strength but lowered his head respectfully. “She didn’t look well. Her clothes and jewelry shone, but her spirit seemed fragile. When I came for the package, she kept talking to her child. She spoke about her life before marriage. I think she misses home.

Tears spilled down Olivia’s cheeks.

“I begged her not to marry him! My sister begged her too! She was so stubborn. And now she talks about the past, about this house. She must be suffering! She must! She’s alone in a strange place with no family. No one is there to protect her. She must have been bullied all these years!

Her sobs poured out as her handkerchief soaked through with tears.

The younger woman stepped close and held her mother’s hand. “Mom, please don’t jump straight to the worst-case scenario. The man said her clothes looked fine. That means Henry hasn’t failed her.”

Benjamin’s face tightened with fury. “That man had nothing back then. He built himself from dirt. If he dares to mistreat her after all that, I’ll never forgive him!”

His thick brows and mustache bristled with anger.

Neither he nor Olivia noticed the delivery man ducking his head lower, unease plain in his

movements.

“Did she send a message for us?”

Violet’s voice trembled as she asked.

“No. None,” the man said with regret. “She hasn’t come home in a long time, or that’s what they told me. But she left her address and number on the package. If you want to reach her, you

can.

“Thank you,” Violet said softly.

She gave a polite nod and motioned for him to go.

He bowed low and hurried away. At the last second, he glanced back at the grand estate.

The Larsons. Wealth. Glory. Power.

When he turned, his eyes

hardened.

Greed and malice flickered in Henry’s gaze as he walked away.
