Across the prison visiting room through the transparent glass panel with air holes drilled, Rhea Nolen, who has a Chinese female soul, really saw the woman who gave birth to her body for the first time, and she had no intention of calling her mother.

This Caucasian American woman named Jones Colter was removed from the list of Rhea Nolen's guardians and supporters by the New York government two years ago.

New York's child protection agencies had developed quite well in the 90s. The abuse incident of forcing children into prostitution did not become a nationally broadcast news event. The underage victim was well protected, maintaining her privacy and dignity.

Although Rhea knows that if she is determined to make a career in the American film industry-the world-renowned film factory Hollywood, if she wants the world to remember the name of the girl who died in 1992, then this matter Sooner or later it will become known to the general public.

But it's too early to think about that now.

Rhea silently looked at Jones Colt, who was wearing an orange prison uniform. Jones had loose hair, whether it was deliberately highlighted or natural, the golden curly hair was mixed with some sandy brown hair. It looks very messy after not washing for several days.

She didn't pick up the phone that was set aside, and the woman sitting inside didn't move, just stared out with blue eyes, Jones' eyelids drooping, the face wrinkled with the cost of youthful indulgence without all the make-up , seems to be having a bad time in prison.

Of course, what good life can there be in prison.

But Rhea Noren feels no guilt at all, and Jones fully deserves it.

After watching for a long time, Rhea still picked up the phone, and Jones picked up the phone after seeing her movements.

"why?"

"what why?"

"You know what I'm asking." Staring at Jones Colt's eyes without blinking, Rhea didn't raise her voice or tone, but the sharp eyes still frightened Jones, "If you don't want to answer me , I will leave immediately."

"...you've changed a lot, Rhea."

Putting down her hands, Rhea was about to put the phone back to its original position, but a panicked female voice from the handset interrupted Rhea's movements, "Wait! Please!"

"Please?" Rhea put the phone next to her face again, and she repeated Jones' words, "Then why can't you hear the 'please' I cried back then?"

"...I'm sorry." Jones' voice weakened and was barely audible. She looked at Rhea nervously, but she didn't dare to look at those cold eyes, nor did she dare to look at those tightly pursed lips. Wander up and down Rhea's nose to dodge.

"I really didn't know Joe had such a habit, he seems like a good person." Repeating the line that she had defended in court, Jones even became agitated, she has been locked here for too long, "He was gentle with me, and I thought he would treat you the same way—"

"So you let him sleep with me?" Rhea took a deep breath before she could continue calmly, "When I was only 12?"

"You have to sleep with someone!" Jones' voice grew louder. "I slept with a grown man when I was 11 years old, and I didn't even know I was getting paid! Joe he At the beginning, I was only willing to give 5 dollars, but I offered you 1 dollars!"

"It's the first time you don't know any skills, $1!" She seemed to have regained the confidence to dictate to her daughter in the past, Jones' eyes widened, "I made you so 'precious' .”

"...No." Rhea twitched her lower lip involuntarily, and finally understood the thoughts of Jones Colt who sold her daughter, but she only felt more angry, and even hated him a little bit. Indisputable sadness, followed by nausea like nausea.

"You've made me so cheap." She said the last words. "And yourself."

After hanging up the phone, Rhea stood up from the seat and left, but Jones Colt's screams could still reach her ears through the partition board after walking away.

"No! You can't dump me here! How can you do this to me Rhea! I didn't dump you in an orphanage, I raised you for 12 fucking years, you made me into one of those $500 a Late cheap woman!"

"Rhea Nolen, you bitch, do you think you're better than me? You're a bitch crawling out of a woman's belly without a father, how can you be any better? You were born to be a bitch , you don’t even deserve to inherit my surname!”

"I spent more than 1 fucking dollars to raise you. Is it so difficult that I can't earn some back from you? Rhea——! I'm your mother!" The armed police rushed over, suppressing the sudden Jones Colt went crazy, but didn't cover her mouth, "Don't leave me - Rhea, please, please..."

The sedative needle silenced all the noise, and Rhea left the family affection and betrayal that did not belong to her in this women's prison, just like Jones Colt left his unconscious daughter in the women's prison that day. Like the sadistic man, he left without looking back.

"Rhea!"

May Parker, who was waiting outside, came over. She was not the kind of woman who could hide her emotions. The anxiety in her expression was completely revealed in her pair of gentle brown eyes. His hair seems to be worrying too.

"Are you okay?" Mei asked softly, lest her voice would frighten Rhea. In the past two years, they have passed the initial running-in period, but whenever the topic of biological mother was brought up, Mei would still Be wary.

"I'm fine, Mom."

May's arm came over, and Rhea hugged her back without any resistance.

Two years ago, Jones Colter and Joe Butters both went to prison for child abuse. They served a 99-year sentence, which is equivalent to a disguised life sentence.

That Joe Butters ran away after the abuse and didn't assault her further, or maybe the New York court would have sentenced him to death.

Even though New York hasn't had the death penalty in ages, they still haven't abolished the punishment.

Jones Colter was an orphan without any relatives, and Rhea had no father. Both parents could not find relatives who could adopt her. She was sent to an orphanage after the lawsuit was closed and she recovered.

The family of neighbors she called for help adopted her from an orphanage.

The adoption of the Parker couple was not very smooth. The New York Children's Protection Association believes that child abuse victims should stay away from the incident, otherwise it will add a deeper shadow to their growth, and they always feel that the Parker couple have not fulfilled the supervision and supervision of the law on the protection of minors. Responsibility for reporting.

The orphanage did not accept their adoption request considering the low income level of the Parker family and the poor conditions in Queens, where the property is located.

In the United States, adopting a child is a very troublesome thing in itself. Submitting reports, waiting for approval, and waiting in line, the cost of each link is not low. Adopting a child in China is very time-consuming, energy-consuming and money-consuming. Some Americans like to go overseas to adopt orphans.

According to the conditions of the Parker couple, they may never be able to adopt a child, but they were lucky to save Rhea Nolen.

Under her strong request, the psychiatrist gave a report, in which he pointed out that the victim trusted and relied on the neighbor's family who helped her.This report coupled with the good performance of the Parker couple who often visited Rhea when he was hospitalized, the orphanage finally agreed to the Parker couple to adopt Rhea.

But even so, the precise monitoring in the early stage of adoption and the supervision of the running-in period of adoption still brought a lot of pressure to the Parker family, but fortunately, the result went well, and Rhea Nolen finally became the daughter of the Parker couple.

Her official name now is Rhea Nolen Parker, and her original last name became her middle name.

The United States has the habit of addressing close people in the form of "first name + middle name" to express kindness. Sometimes when a person's name is too popular, such as Mary, everyone will use the middle name together to distinguish them. Call.

Although her name is not common, some people still call her "Rhea Noren" habitually, because it is very easy to connect, and Noren Norn has only one syllable.

"Okay, Rhea, everything is over, and everything will pass." Holding the face of the girl in her arms, Mei kissed Rhea's forehead. She didn't ask any more questions. Mei always played that gentle girl at home Thoughtful character, "Let's go home together."

May didn't ask anything, but Rhea couldn't help but confided: "She thinks her daughter is only worth $1, that woman, she—"

"That's because she doesn't know anything." Leading her daughter to the car, Mei stopped Rhea's words. She was afraid that Rhea would look down on herself because of this, "You are worth far more than this, I I know, Ben knows, and you know, Rhea, someday Jones will understand, someday."

"I know, Mom..." After a pause, Rhea exhaled slowly, "I deserve better." They all deserve better, and one day, the name Rhea Nolen will be worth more 100 million, 1000 million or even more!

Meekly sticking to Mei's side, Rhea accepted the comfort of her adoptive mother. Both Ben and May treated her very well. She had a pair of parents who loved their children in her previous life, so she knew that the Parkers really put her Raised as their own child, they love her very much.

So she is doing her best to repay this love.

It's just that sometimes I do too much, which is completely beyond what a 14-year-old girl should do, but it backfires, which makes Ben and May even more distressed.

Because the current Rhea Noren not only helps with housework at home, but basically gets A and A+ grades in school, and actively participates in club activities such as the drama club to get rid of the title of "nerd". They don't need to worry about it at all.

What makes Ben and May feel even more tormenting is that some time ago, Ben Parker fell ill and had to take a long vacation from work to be hospitalized. Medical expenses and suspended income forced May, who became a housewife after marriage, to go out and look for a job.

During that difficult time, Rhea Nolen, a minor, was almost all in the care of the family hospital. This made Ben, May, and Rhea a little scared, for fear that the adoption regulatory agency would kill them if they were not careful. Come back and do an investigation, then Rhea will definitely be sent back to the orphanage.

Just when they had to sell the family's only car, Rhea found a job outside and rescued Ben Parker's beloved sky blue used Ford Mustang.

She took a group of photos for a new issue of a fashion magazine in New York, "PURPLE Magazine". Although the income of 300 US dollars is not that high, but once there is a job opportunity, there will be a second one, and she will survive the most difficult newcomer stage , Up to now, Rhea's monthly income as a girl model has gradually stabilized.

"PURPLE Magazine" is very optimistic about her potential in the modeling industry, and has become the most important magazine that often expropriates her photos. In this way, Rhea can earn at least $1 a month.

Coupled with the loan, May's pressure was greatly reduced, and they didn't have to sacrifice the second-hand car that had been used for many years.

It wasn't until Ben Parker was discharged from the hospital that he fully recovered and then returned to work. Rhea began to gradually reduce her part-time modeling work. plan to develop.

"I don't understand, Rhea." Sitting in the car, May started the Ford they managed to save, "Why did you refuse the editor-in-chief of "PURPLE Magazine", you can finally have a spread! This should be What a great opportunity."

There is a copy of "PURPLE Magazine" in the car. Ever since Rhea Nolen often visits this magazine, it has become a must-buy book for Parker's family. In fact, except Rhea, no one really reads it. As for the content, May is not interested in this kind of rebellious fashion, and Ben doesn't like it even more, but they are willing to spend money to buy the magazine, and then cut out Rhea's photo and save it.

It was only after seeing this magazine that May brought up the subject again.

"I've explained it to you, Mom." Rhea emphasized calmly, "I'm not suitable to be a model, I want to be an actor, and I can't skip my exam just to shoot this spread." If this It was an audition for a role, and Nariya had already gone to the principal's office to ask for leave, even if that meant losing her scholarship for the semester.

"Okay, okay." Mei shrugged her shoulders as if giving up. She felt a little pity, but she supported her children to realize their dreams, "I just like your photos on this, they took you very well pretty."

"Then you will also like my appearance on the screen."

The tone of this sentence seemed to be coquettish, and Mei happily accepted the overly precocious child's coquetry: "Of course, in my opinion, you are the most beautiful girl in the world."

Feeling that the relationship between them was a little closer, Mei guessed that Rhea had finally let go of those unbearable pasts after meeting her biological mother, and she wanted to take this opportunity to say something intimate to Rhea again. An incoming call interrupted her.

"Hi Ben, yes, we are coming back now." Turning to look at Rhea sitting in the co-pilot, Mei smiled at her, "Everything is fine, don't worry."

"...What did you say?" Then, the next moment, Mei's gentle face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye, "A scout? He's at our house now!"

Listening to the voice on the phone, May Parker shot her stern eyes on Rhea next to her, and her kind smile disappeared without a trace: "I guess, he must have come to see us Dear daughter Rhea Noren."

Pressing the phone, Mei put her hands on the steering wheel, "When we get home, Rhea, we must be good and have a good talk."

"About this Mr. Metus Hugh Malloy."

Hearing Mei's tone of emphasizing a certain word, Rhea frowned in frustration. She never expected that the man who handed her his business card would go directly to her home.

She clearly said that she needs time to convince her family, and with their consent, she can go to Los Angeles, California, which is more than 3000 miles away, to formally attack Hollywood.

The family had seriously discussed the matter long before, and the end result was that Ben asked her to at least finish high school before thinking about a career.

But she didn't expect the opportunity to enter the industry to come so suddenly. While worrying, Rhea also started to think quickly, and Metus Hugh Malloy came to her home so eagerly and even impatiently.

Excluding the improbable factors such as being quite optimistic about her qualifications, being overwhelmed by her demeanor, etc., this can only mean one thing——

An opportunity not to be missed!

Whether it's for Mr. Malloy, or for Rhea Noren.

The author has something to say:

"PURPLE Magazine" is a fashion magazine founded in 1992. It pursues anti-fashion and advocates an unaffected fashion attitude that is closer to human nature. " and "Pupo Magazine" feel weird.

In fact, it is a semi-annual publication, and the setting here is a monthly publication.
