My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

52

 "What?"

"I think you wanted that situation to continue rather than ask me for help."

It wasn't wrong. If it weren't for Kalen, she could have seen something very interesting and taken revenge by bringing disaster to the Valentino family.

"How on earth have you been at Valentino?"

Kalen still couldn't believe what he saw. Kanna was lying on the dirt floor and being beaten like an animal. She accepted the violence as if she was all too familiar with it. Has she lived like that all this time?

"Is this how Valentino has treated you? All the time you were at Valentino?"

Kalen asked harshly, stroking his hair as if it were absurd.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"What difference does it make if I tell you?"

"Yes?"

"What difference does it make if I tell you?"

As she listen in silence, she start to feel irritated. Kanna muttered, feeling very upset.

"It wasn't really any different from when I stayed in Addis."

So Joo-hwa never once reported this to the Addis family. No, she didn't even think to announce it. She never considered Addis to be her ally in the first place.

'But you shouldn't have said it like a gamble at least once, Lee Joo-hwa. Maybe he could have stepped forward for the honor of the Addis family.'

Lee Joo-hwa, who kept her mouth shut throughout her married life. When Kanna thought of her, she couldn't help but sigh.

"..."

Kalen was speechless. His words seemed to have struck his throat.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Ignored, persecuted, and sometimes beaten. I got the same thing in Addis, right?"

"Someone hit you!"

"Your mother, Chloe."

"..."

"Your older brother, Orsini, when we were young."

Kalen's face turned red. Is it shame, guilt, or anger? Maybe he feels like he was ridiculed by his filth-like sister. Whatever it was, Kanna didn't even want to care.

"And you."

"I am... Never once..."

"Violence isn't necessarily limited to physical abuse, right?"

Kanna smiled slightly and was sarcastic. Kalen's complexion was now pale.

"Just in case, don't tell anyone else about this."

"No. That can't be possible. I'll report this to my father..."

"What if you tell him?"

A laugh came out automatically from Kanna's lips.

"What if you tell him? Do you think your father will do anything?"

"..."

"Don't make me say the same thing. Nothing changes anyway. And this is my job. I'm warning you, don't interfere in my business again."

'I'm telling you, don't interfere with my revenge story like you did today.'

He glared at her with those eyes and kept his mouth shut.

'After being this sarcastic, I won't talk to you anymore.'

Kanna completely turned around, as if declaring that she had no intention of talking anymore. Fortunately, Kalen did not open his mouth after that.
