Chapter 21
The policeman’s merciless command felt like a lite stabbing through Hannah’s heart. She stomped her foot and shot back in fury, “Fine! I’ll leave! You happy
She called a moving company to transport her belongings, but as she had nowhere to go, the driver of the truck got a bit impatient. He kept asking her for an
address.
After a while, she reluctantly gave him one. “Tale mne to Spring Garden
She had no choice but to call up her old landlord and discuss resuming the rental agreement. Thankfully, it had only been a few days, and the landlord hadn’t rente the place out yet.
As soon as Hannah arrived at Spring Garden, she immediately saw a group of people standing in wait at the entrance to the residential neighborhood. Although th Zahns were dressed rather shabbily, they still looked clean and well–groomed.
However, Harmah felt nothing but disdain for them, so naturally, her attitude toward them was poor as well. She wanted to tell the truck driver to leave, but he ha already parked the truck and was starting to unload her things.
Hannah! Give us back the mo
money!
Before Hannah could even get out of the truck, Fred and his wife, Mabel Kramer, i rushed u
up to it.
Meanwhile, Hannah’s grandparents and her younger brother, Derek Zahn, immediately started going through her suitcases.
They tossed aside anything that had no value while filling their bags with things that were worth some money, such as her bags and clothes.
“Stop it! Those are mine! You’re not allowed to take them!” Hannah screamed, but no matter how hard she tried to stop them, she was outnumbered.
All of her suitcases were ripped open, and her things were scattered everywhere. The spectating crowd kept getting bigger, and most were gossiping among themselves.
Even so, the Zahns didn’t feel embarrassed at all. Instead, Fred loudly declared, “She’s my daughter, but she stole all of our family’s savings! What’s wrong with us taking some of her things
That wasn’t the end of it either.
When Hannah convinced them to head inside the apartment first, they happily moved in. They spent their days lounging around idly while barking orders at her without hesitation.
Not only did she have to cook for them, she was also made to clean the place and wash all of their clothes. If she tried to refuse, they would threaten to go around the neighborhood telling everyone about her past deeds.
Hannah didn’t want to be humiliated, so she had to put up with her demands
Still, that wasn’t enough to appease the Zahns. They kept urging her to get a job and earn money. Thus, Hannah spent her days looking for jobs and nights doing chores. Through it all, she had to bear with the Zahns‘ verbal abuse.
Her health deteriorated with each passing day. In just a few short days, she looked like she’d aged over a decade. Her skin turned pallid, and she wobbled with every step she took
The state of things nearly drove her mad.
