Chapter 67
Angeline unzipped her coat, revealing her singlet and skinny figure underneath.
“I was able to survive even though I was female because the Emmersons needed me to prevent the next baby from being female as well.”
No one could imagine that although Angeline had a beautiful face, her body was marked with
ugly scars.
Meanwhile, those netizens who mocked her for being a masochistic whore after her nudes
were leaked fell silent.
The slide changed, and a picture of a small girl was shown. She looked filthy, her hair was messy, and she was extremely skinny. Moreover, her entire body was covered in terrible wounds. Yet, her eyes looked bright.
The scars on Angeline’s body and the young girl’s picture shocked everyone.
“This was me after I had just escaped with my biological mother from Emmerson Village.”
Angeline looked at the screen and continued calmly, “Back then, my mother kept giving birth to girls. As such, during her last pregnancy, the Emmersons started pinning nails into my body. When I escaped, my body had 29 nails in it. The Emmersons believed that this would ensure that the next baby from my mother would be a boy.”
The audience was horrified by Angeline’s words. However, she simply zipped her jacket up
quietly.
“What’s ridiculous was the law… Even though George abused these women who were trafficked, he was unharmed! He was imprisoned because he killed six infants. Yet, he was only incarcerated for seven years.
“More than a decade later, those buyers of trafficking victims can still only receive a maximum sentence of three years in jail. In the meantime, both sellers and buyers involved in animal trafficking will be sentenced to at least ten years! Even if you buy a parrot, the buyer must serve the same sentence as the seller!
“Meanwhile, for human trafficking… the sellers and buyers are both considered to be
accomplices. Why can the seller and abuser be let off so lightly?”
Angeline added, “That’s because human trafficking is a part of our culture!
“I hope that many people will notice that something is wrong with the laws governing human trafficking after watching this episode.”
Her expression darkened.

After that, she finally expressed what she had been wanting to say all along.

“To stop the traffickers, we must first place enforcements on the purchasers. There is a market for these traffickers as the sentences they receive when caught are too light. If the sentence is severe enough, human trafficking rates will decreasel Without demand, there won’t be a market for it!”
“That’s great!”
Marion stood up with tears in her eyes and clapped furiously. Then, she turned around and looked at Angeline, who was smiling at her. Marlon realized that Angeline was a strong and calm young woman.
So that was why Angeline said that she had to be on television!
The customers who had been watching the show also started applauding.
Meanwhile, Alva smiled with tears in her eyes and patted Henrietta’s head. Then, she patted Angeline’s shoulder.
The camera panned to the studio audience. All of them had tears in their eyes and clapped for Angeline.
During this time, Angeline simply lowered her head and smiled at Henrietta, who was holding
her hand.
Henrietta understood what her older sister went through.
So, her beautiful and big eyes were filled with tears. She knew that Angeline had always been brave and powerful.
Henrietta believed that if she could be as brave and powerful as Angeline, her mother in
heaven would be at ease.
