Connor replied, “People will learn about our situation sooner orter. Do you think you can keep that a


    secret for life?”


    He was ready to return to life at the bottom of society, but Olivia wasn’t prepared for that yet. “In any


    case, I’m not moving out of here. You move out if you want.”


    Connor replied, “I’ve paid Brian a year’s worth of rent. Just go live on the streets if you’re not moving


    out of here!” He didn’t care whether she was moving out of here anymore, because the ce he rented


    happened to be near his second home, which would make it easy for him to take care of his son in the


    future.


    Olivia sat on the bed, shedding tears of anger while looking at the duplex apartment. How beautiful and


    luxurious it is! Not to mention that the chandelier was bought for several thousand.


    As Connor packed their belongings, he called the furniture seller and asked them to take the furniture


    away tomorrow morning. Since they couldn’t take these items of furniture away with them, they had no


    choice but to sell them off cheaply as second-hand ones.


    Selena also returned to her room before sitting down and looking at the room of about 500 square feet.


    She thought of how she would have to stay in a tiny rented house and live in straitened circumstances


    after this. If her friends were to learn that she was suddenly no longer a richdy, they would only look


    down on her.


    She dared not even get in touch with them now because she feared that they wouldugh. at her when


    they met. They would show off their luxury handbags and branded fashion items, but she would always


    be carrying used handbags and wearing out-of-season clothes. Her parents were old, yet she had.


    aplished nothing and didn’t even have a decent job at the moment. All of a sudden, she felt so


    stressed out that she wished she could run away.


    The Aguirres couldn’t sleep on theirst night staying in the house. The next morning, the furniture


    seller came to the Aguirre Residence and set the prices of the pieces of furniture, which were


    eventually sold at 20,000.


    After receiving the payment, Connor called a mover to get a truck over before the family packed their


    belongings and got into the truck. Having moved everything, Olivia, Selena, and Connor got into the


    truck’s trunk and headed for the rented house.


    Their rented house was on the fifth floor of a self-built housingplex with no elevator. After moving


    everything into the house, Selena stood in front of her room and was instantly stupefied.


    Her room was even smaller than her previous closet. It only had a small bed and a cheap and small


    wardrobe beside it that couldn’t store many clothes; moreover, the room stank of mold. She looked at


    her parents’ bedroom, which was also very small.


    The house had three bedrooms, but the bedrooms were all very small, and even the living room had


    poor lighting. It really had nothing good about it apart from being cheap.


    Connor began cleaning the house, whereas Olivia pped her hand over her nose. Looking at the dust


    in the air, sheined in a loud voice, “This house isn’t even habitable!”


    Selena suddenly burst into tears, saying, “Dad, I don’t want to live here. This ce is too shabby,”


    Looking at his daughter, Connor was overwhelmed with regret. He had treated her like a princess after


    getting rich back then. As a result, she grew up to act like a princess despite not being one. ‘Lena, don’t


    be picky anymore in our current circumstances,’ he said in an attempt to advise her.


    Olivia looked at Selena while feeling terribly sorry for her. When has Lena ever suffered like this?


    “I’m not staying here! This is no ce for human beings at all, Selena said angrily. She picked up her


    bag, saying, “I’m staying at my friend’s ce for a couple of days.”


    She left in a huff, but Connor didn’t bother to care about her. After all, she was already an adult, so he


    could no longer do anything about her.


    Olivia eventually resigned herself to their fate. After helping Connor with the cleaning, she looked at the


    small kitchen and wasn’t even in the mood to cook. ‘Connor, let’s eat out for dinner!” She was toozy


    to cook..


    However, Connor replied with a frosty expression, “How can we afford to eat out every day now? We’ll


    go shopping for groceries in a while. From now on, we’ll cook at home.”


    Olivia’s chest heaved up and down in anger. She felt that her husband had now be a very stingy


    skinflint, and she could predict that their lives would definitely be difficult from now on.


    Selena took a cab back to the downtown area with her bag in her hand. After entering a cafe, she


    called one of her friends, wanting to stay with her for some time. ‘Hey, Stefanie! What have you been


    doingtely?”
