Forsaken (3)

Scarlett hadn't uttered a single word since they left her, now former, home she shared with her mother. The young girl knew that her mother had given up her custody to her elder brother in exchange for money. She could only hold Adrienne's hand and lower her head. What if her siblings didn't like her too?  She didn't want to be looked down by anyone ever again.

The car stopped in front of a massive and luxurious mansion. Scarlett's eyes widened in awe. It wasn't like any other house she had seen before. The walls were mostly white with black accents. The place was also filled with greenery, giving enough shade and refreshing scenery to its residents.

"How is it? You are going to live here from now on." Adrienne asked after the girl alighted from the car, her eyes still fixed on the mansion before her.

"Do you live here as well, Addie?" Scarlett asked. She had yet to know who Adrienne was to the Qin family.
