Bengtie, I'm really not a villain!

Estella's parents were also unaware.

They only remembered that Estella's affairs were usually handled by other people, such as housekeepers and maids, to take care of her daily life, studies, and employment.

Estella's entire life trajectory had already been arranged clearly, and her parents didn't need to pay much attention to it.

However, an unexpected turn of events led Esther off the path of life they had laid out for her, ultimately resulting in this shameful and humiliating scene.

What Estella's parents didn't expect was that even after their best efforts, they still had no clue about Jingye's problem.

When Jingye saw that Estella's parents on the other end of the communicator remained silent, and still hadn't received a reply after ten seconds, he showed an even more pleased expression.

"It seems like you've made some effort, but not much."

"Since she still can't answer... well, there's nothing I can do but give Estella a little punishment."

Jing Ye laughed with a twisted, gleeful laugh, while Estella, who was being manipulated in his hands, seemed to have already gotten used to it, or rather, guessed what was going on, and showed no reaction whatsoever.

Of course, Estelle's body did react, but she remained unmoved by her parents' predictable inability to answer.

After all, Aistar already understood that Jingye's purpose in contacting her parents and broadcasting live was to humiliate her and her parents.

Estella and Jingye grew up together, so how could they not know about her parents' situation?

Therefore, even though this live broadcast was announced in advance, her parents were definitely not able to answer Jing Ye's questions.

After all, the initiative must be in Jing Ye's hands.

The right to ask questions lies with Jing Ye. The questions he raises will inevitably be blind spots unknown to Aisda's parents, and will certainly be questions he can win.

Otherwise, Aistar probably wouldn't have bothered with Jingye's live Q&A session.

As Jingye's hand began to move again in front of the camera, Aistar bit her lip and silently endured everything.

This time, Jing Ye showed no mercy, and unlike last time, he didn't cover the camera and only let Aesta's voice escape—

What is presented to everyone this time is a scene of Estella, the heiress of the Interstellar Peace Company, being manipulated by him.

In every place across the universe affected by the Interstellar Peace Corporation, in every place it has ever been involved in or built, this ironic scene is playing out:

The daughter of the head of the Interstellar Peace Corporation is being manipulated at will by an unknown nobody, while her parents, after their previous setback, still cannot answer such a simple question.

As parents, they could only watch helplessly as their precious daughter, Estelle, was manipulated and forced to do shameful things.

Although only women could see the scene, they couldn't bear to watch how Estádio was punished by Jingye, that villain, and dared not witness the horrific sight.

After prolonged torture, Estana was unconscious with her eyes rolled back, completely losing herself in Jingye's hands like a puppet with its strings cut...

Everything was presented to the public.

Ironically, Estelle's parents remained silent, unable to answer the question despite their anxiety.

Estella's mother watched helplessly as her daughter, whom she had carried for ten months, was cruelly and inhumanely punished by Jing Ye with his mouth, causing her to break down time and time again.

Estella's mother couldn't bear to watch the scene that brought tears to her eyes, but Estella's cries of collapse tormented her, leaving her only able to escape the pain by tightly gripping Estella's father.

Despite the veins bulging with anger on his forehead, Estelle's father could only endure the sight of his daughter being humiliated in public.

At this moment, what Estella's parents need to do is to do everything they can to find the answer to the question, and at the same time, rescue her while avoiding giving the wrong answer that would cause Estella to suffer even more terrible punishment!

however……

Although they had already gone through all of Aesta's recent star-related browsing history.

Despite the fact that Estella's parents even had high-tech equipment ready to search for the keywords Jingye mentioned at any time in order to filter out Estella's many preferences for stars.

But how should I answer this?

Why does Estelle like stars?

How are they supposed to answer questions that don't test their professional knowledge?

If you were to ask Aista what her favorite telescope is, what brand it is, or what planet she most wants to visit, her parents could tell you the answer now.

Even if you ask Estella what she usually likes to eat, her parents already know.

But when do we trace back to this fundamental issue?

Falling in love with stars definitely requires a certain trigger.

A chance encounter with a post, a chance meeting with a book, a chance conversation with someone—all these could become the catalyst for Estella's love of stars.

Even if we trace back to records of Estelle browsing star-related information, it only goes back to when she was five or six years old.

But by then, Estella was already browsing content related to stars...

Estella's parents anxiously checked the screening results repeatedly, then suddenly their eyes paused.

Because the star-related content that Estella viewed when she was five or six years old was called...

Are there any stars that represent Mom and Dad?

Chapter Thirty-Six: Tort

Estella's parents had thought there was no hope in investigating Jingye's problem, but they were stunned when they saw Estella's earliest search results related to stars.

"Which stars are Mom and Dad in the sky?"

"Are there any stars that you can see all the time?"

What is the name of a star that can stay with you forever?

The earliest answer that Estella's parents could find was this, dating back to when Estella was just a five or six-year-old child and her search for stars.

Those questions were like blinding flashes of light, piercing Estelle's parents' hearts.

Under what circumstances would Esther search for such a question?

What makes a five- or six-year-old child want to know the connection between "Mom and Dad" and "stars"?

What makes Estelle equate "Mom and Dad" with "stars" in her heart?

The word "companionship" was the most glaring word, like a bomb ignited in the hearts of Esther's parents, roaring through their consciousness!

The mere combination of the words "accompaniment" and "parents" caused a pang of pain in Esther's parents' hearts, and the guilt that had been dormant for many years finally surfaced.

That belated sense of guilt only made Jingye's actions towards Aistar, which were being broadcast live on the communicator, all the more infuriating.

To Estella's mother's horror, Estella, who had just been trapped on the stool, was suddenly lifted up.

Jingye lifted Aista up in front of the camera like a rag doll so she could see her clearly—

Of course, it's just like giving a child a bottle.

This posture allowed Estella's mother to clearly see how Estella was punished, and she gasped sharply, almost fainting from the shock!

No mother could remain indifferent to seeing her daughter being subjected to such brutality!

It was only at this moment that Esther's mother finally remembered what it felt like to worry about and feel sorry for her daughter!

Estella's mother was speechless at this point; how could she possibly convey such a scene to Estella's father?

Although Estella's father could neither see nor hear, he could guess how much pain Estella was suffering just by looking at Estella's mother's near-fainting appearance, which made him even angrier!

However, all they can do now is find the answer as quickly as possible and stop Jing Ye's atrocities against Estádio.

At this moment, Estella's parents faced a serious problem—

What they initially thought was a question with no answer seemed to have provided them with a clue.

However, even though the answer to the question seemed to be right in front of them, Esther's parents were unable to say it aloud.

The answer to why Estelle fell in love with stars can be clearly found in the very things she searched for.

However, Estelle's parents were not unable to speak out because of face.

Rather, the answer to that question was like looking at flowers through the fog, vaguely and indistinctly visible, yet always out of reach, separated by a hazy mist that filled them with despair.

The answer was clearly the word "companionship," which was right in front of them, but Esther's parents had absolutely no recollection of it.

Did they mention stars and companionship to Estelle at some point?

They had no recollection of when exactly the opportunity arose that made Estella fall in love with the stars.

Is it because so much time has passed that the memory has become blurred?

No, for them, who transformed Interstellar Peace Corporation into a cosmic behemoth, memory was just the simplest of many requirements.

Estella's parents remember everything that happened twenty years ago, everything that was important.

However, they couldn't recall saying anything when Estella was five or six years old.

Just as Estelle's parents were troubled by the unanswerable question right before their eyes, a relative of theirs spoke up discreetly:

"Let's just let him kill the hostage."

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent instantly, stunned by this explosive statement!

Not to mention the people from Interstellar Peace Company, even Jing Ye widened his eyes and stopped the thugs.

He smelled an incredibly delicious, twisted aroma.

But what no one expected, the statement that came from one of Estella's relatives, was even more explosive:

"Anyway, you're still young, and with technology, you can have a few more children in the future."

"It's a good idea to abandon that useless, spoiled daughter Estella and have a few capable sons instead."

"Wouldn't it be better to have a few obedient and well-behaved sons than this useless daughter who only brings shame to the family and the company?"

"Continuing to humiliate Astara like this is a huge loss for her, for you, and for the entire Interstellar Peace Corporation!"

In Estella's family, relatives generally don't speak up, since they don't want to get involved in such troublesome matters.

Rather than getting together to solve a problem, it would be more accurate to say that apart from Estella's parents, the other family members were just there to watch the show or even hoped that Estella would be killed.

However, once someone spoke up, it turned out to be something incredibly explosive!

Estella's parents were clearly shocked that a "relative" would dare to say such cold-blooded and heartless things to their face!

They actually said they should just give up on Estella's life, and even treat her like useless trash?!

While Estelle's parents and other relatives were shocked, Estelle seemed to have long been accustomed to the various opinions from her family.

Even after hearing such harsh criticism from her relatives, she remained unmoved, lying in Jing Ye's arms.

It's still like a puppet with its strings cut.

Estella probably already understood how her family viewed her, and had grown accustomed to this cold-blooded and ruthless "family."

Jingye, having tasted such a delicacy, felt invigorated and weighed Aista in his hand!

He could tell that while the people from Interstellar Peace Corporation were shocked by this statement, what they were actually shocked about was...

It's just that the relative dared to say it out loud.

The other members of the Interstellar Peace Company showed no surprise whatsoever at the relative's remarks; some even nodded in agreement, indicating that the person was absolutely right.

Clearly, many of Esther's relatives hoped she would die soon.

This idea probably didn't even start when Jingye kidnapped Aistar to do a live stream.

However, no one has ever dared to be so blunt, after all, Está's parents are the real power holders of the Interstellar Peace Corporation, and offending them will only bring bad consequences.

In this situation where Estelle's shame has seriously affected the Interstellar Peace Corporation, someone finally spoke frankly about their thoughts.

In a situation where he could be described as completely abandoned by everyone, Jing Ye felt that Estella's delicate body in his arms was becoming increasingly weak, more and more like a broken doll, at his mercy.

This wonderful scene is exactly what Jingye has been hoping for!

"Oh? Since someone made irrelevant comments from outside the arena, then Estella's punishment will have to be escalated."

Jingye, holding Aistar in his arms, whose eyes were becoming increasingly lifeless and empty, began to conduct experiments with her that had never been explored before.

Just like when exploring other areas with the Great Black Tower, Jingye fully presented the scenes of himself and Aistar exploring other areas in detail to the camera.

In addition, a low-temperature candle was lit to illuminate the somewhat dim interior of the ship.

Incidentally, the number of times the experiment was conducted was also recorded.

Jingye's pen records everything clearly, showing where Estella and he conducted their experiments!

Faced with such an exaggerated scene, all the women in the Interstellar Peace Corporation gasped in shock, even those who wished Estelle dead right then and there.

They couldn't bear to look at Estella in such a miserable state.
