Chapter 767
The northern weather at the end of September suddenly turned cold. Crystal, wrapped in her furry coat, walked slowly on the
grass in the backyard with Devil. The evening wind blew her long hair, and there was a strong fragrance of flowers in the air.
“Mr. Reynes, I have a question for you.” Crystal turned to Larry and said, “When you first met Harold, what was he like?”
Larry spread out his hands and said, “At that time, we were all very young and know nothing.”
Crystal asked, “Knew nothing?”
Larry,”... Well, when we knew each other, we were in kindergarten, but at that time, Harold...”
He gave Crystal a mocking smile. “If he met you, he would definitely think that you were troublesome. He would stay away from
you and would definitely not interact with you.”
“Why?”
Larry sighed and said, “A delicate little girl like you would definitely cry for a long time after being punched. He hated trouble the
most.”
“Did he not like little girls when he was a child?”
Larry said, “He didn’t like humans at all.”
Speaking of this, he sighed and said, “When Harold was a child... he was a little violent, or maybe it had something to do with his
long-term depressed life living with his family. You should know about his parents. His father was not a good person, and he
didn’t care about him. As for Madam Grecic...” Larry’s eyes flashed with a complicated emotion, and he said, “If she was purely
bad to Harold, it would be a good thing for Harold.”
“In this way, when she died, he wouldn’t have too many emotions. After all, who would have a feeling of admiration for a mother
who always scolded him a little beast and beat him?”
Crystal was slightly stunned.
Larry stopped. He stood under the brilliant sky, and the cold wind from the north stirred his clothes. This man, who had always
been optimistic, had a deep sadness on his face.”... But Madam Grecic treated him well at times.”
“Once, when I visited the White family, I sneaked into the backyard and saw Antonio whipping his wife with a whip. Her body was
covered in blood and she lay motionless on the ground as if she were dead. At that time, I was extremely scared, but Harold
rushed over to protect his mother and prevented Antonio from doing anything. Of course, Antonio would not take him seriously.
He whipped him-” Larry smiled and said, “You probably don’t know how much pain a long whip dipped in salt can bring to your
body, but it’s often used as one of the interrogation methods. At that time, Harold was four years old. After a whip, his skin and
flesh split open.”
Crystal clenched her fists.
Larry lowered his head, pressed between his eyebrows with his hand, and said, “But after that whip, the silent Madam Grecic
seemed to be crazy. She almost bit off a piece of flesh from Antonio’s arm, and then cried for a long time with Harold in her
arms.”
He still remembered that weird scene.
A woman covered in blood, an expressionless child kneeling on the ground, and a man dressed in leather shoes holding a whip.
Except for her face, Leilani was covered with scars left by the whip all over her body. She was lying on the ground not because
of her silent resistance to Antonio, but because she had been tortured so much that she could not move at all.
However, after Harold was injured, like a mother who wanted to protect her child, she relied on her strong willpower to get up
from the ground and bit down on Antonio’s forearm.
Larry still remembered the vicious look in his eyes.
