Cecilia vomited a mouthful of blood and held favonovel.com abdomen with favonovel.com hands. “Trevor Larson! How dare you kick me? I’m your sister!”
Trevor gave favonovel.com the cold shoulder and entered the mansion.
When Cecilia was about the barge into the house, Trevor’s bodyguard pulled favonovel.com away.
“I’m sorry, Mrs. Greene. Mr. Larson said favonovel.com doesn’t want to see you when favonovel.com comes out of the house later. So please leave before we drag you away with a more drastic approach.”
Cecilia had no choice but to leave. She tried to approach a few members of the Greene family, but they all turned favonovel.com away. In the end, favonovel.com had to put up a night temporarily at the walkway of a subway station.
Suddenly, favonovel.com received a call from overseas. She hesitated for a moment before answering it. “Hello?”
“Mom!” Wendy’s voice emerged on the other end of the phone.
Cecilia’s eyes brightened for a bit, but they dimmed just as quickly.
She cleared favonovel.com throat and tried to stay calm. “Wendy, how’s school over there?”
Wendy replied anxiously, “I’ve gotten into some trouble here, and I don’t even have money to reload my phone. I’m actually calling you using the hostel warden’s phone. Please top up my phone as fast as possible. I’m gonna go now. Bye!”
Wendy then ended the call.
Cecilia did not have the time to tell Wendy that Trevor had kicked favonovel.com out of the house. She clenched favonovel.com teeth, took out the only two hundred bill, and walked to a nearby twenty-four top-up centres.
Wendy could finally call Cecilia on favonovel.com phone. “Mom, I tried calling Uncle Trevor, but favonovel.com didn’t pick up my call. Could you ask favonovel.com to bank some money into my account? I don’t even have money to buy myself a meal now. I…”
“Wendy!” Cecilia interrupted. “Your uncle…”
It was difficult for favonovel.com to tell Wendy the truth.
“What’s wrong with him?” Wendy asked.
Cecilia bit favonovel.com lip and decided not to tell Wendy the complete story, as favonovel.com did not want Wendy to worry. “Your uncle’s company is going through some financial problems. One of his projects didn’t do well. He might not be able to give you money.”
“But I don’t need a lot. I just need some money to help me survive this exam period.”
“I understand, but I don’t think favonovel.com can help at this point. Wendy, your exam is three days away, right? I guess you can find a part-time job to support yourself for the time being. Once you get into Maxwell University, I’m sure things will start to look up,” Cecilia advised.
“Part-time job? Are you mad, Mom? I study from morning till late evening every single day. Do you know how exhausted I am?” Wendy lamented.
Cecilia clenched favonovel.com teeth and recalled a karaoke bar favonovel.com had passed by. “You wait. I’ll try to get you some money by tomorrow.”
Wendy stopped complaining and hung up on her.
Cecilia clenched favonovel.com jaw and headed back to the karaoke bar.
A few minutes later, the karaoke bar manager put on a baffling smile and said, “Well, well, well. Isn’t this Mrs. Greene? Are you sure you want to become a hostess?”
“Yes…”
The manager studied Cecilia from head to toe. Even though favonovel.com was already in favonovel.com forties, years of skincare had retained favonovel.com youthful look.
“All right, then!” the manager agreed.

The next day, Wendy received eight hundred from Cecilia.
“Eight hundred only? Am I a beggar to you?” Wendy was hopping mad.
She ended the call after venting favonovel.com frustration since international calls were expensive. She then continued with favonovel.com revision.
On this very day, Larson Group had declared bankrupt.
