Cecilia vomited a mouthful of blood and held snazzynovel.com abdomen with snazzynovel.com hands. “Trevor Larson! How dare you kick me? I’m your sister!”
Trevor gave snazzynovel.com the cold shoulder and entered the mansion.
When Cecilia was about the barge into the house, Trevor’s bodyguard pulled snazzynovel.com away.
“I’m sorry, Mrs. Greene. Mr. Larson said snazzynovel.com doesn’t want to see you when snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.com away. In the end, snazzynovel.com had to put up a night temporarily at the walkway of a subway station.
Suddenly, snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.com out of the house. She clenched snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.com phone. “Mom, I tried calling Uncle Trevor, but snazzynovel.com didn’t pick up my call. Could you ask snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.com to tell Wendy the truth.
“What’s wrong with him?” Wendy asked.
Cecilia bit snazzynovel.com lip and decided not to tell Wendy the complete story, as snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.com teeth and recalled a karaoke bar snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.com was already in snazzynovel.com forties, years of skincare had retained snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.com frustration since international calls were expensive. She then continued with snazzynovel.com revision.
On this very day, Larson Group had declared bankrupt.
