A month passed before I received any news about Elias.
Like a fleeting illusion, after the company went bankrupt, Elias returned to his hometown with his parents.
I thought he would spend the rest of his life in that small town, but after receiving the video I had sent to him, he completely lost his mind.
"I'm going abroad! I'm going to kill that bitch!"
His entire being was so agitated that his eyes were bloodshot. Elias's elderly parents held onto him tightly, refusing to let him leave at all costs.
"Son, you're our only child! We can't let anything happen to you!"
"We're counting on you to make a comeback and take care of us in our old age. How can you go abroad?"
"Don't go. Maybe one day she'll have a change of heart and transfer the money back from overseas!"
They absolutely wouldn't let Elias leave. The Montgomery couple, who had "lost" several girls when they were young and now only had Elias as their sole hope, placed all their expectations on him.
