Grace and Lina went to K’s store.
Business was rather slow around two o’clock. K was happy to see Lina look so happy.
Good times were finally starting for Lina after her hard times were over. She would not end up the
same as her.
K said, “Things will get busy when your baby is born. Now that you and Hadwin Stephenson are
back together, where are you going to settle down when you get married?”
“Mainly Emerald City, I guess. Hadwin said my parents are used to living in Emerald City, so they
probably won’t get used to J City if we made them move there. If I separate from my parents, I’d be
worried about them missing me. So he said Stephenson Group will set up another headquarters here in
Emerald City when the timees,” said Lina.
K said, “Hadwin Stephenson really cares about you. You and Grace are doing well. I’m happy for
you two.”
“K, you’re always happy for us. Have you ever thought of yourself?” said Lina.
“Me?” K paused.
2/3 store. Your store is doing okay now, but living costs will only increase as Nelson grows older. Aunt
is getting old too. The medical expenses and whatnots will be expensive if she gets. sick,” said Lina.
K’s eyes dimmed. She had thought about what Lina said, but there was so little she could do. The
quiet life she had now was already a luxury to her.
“K, have you thought of doing any other businesses? For example, you can open a restaurant or
something. Lina and I can invest in it. You’ll be in charge of managing it. You’ll be a shareholder with

K knew that her best friends were trying to help her, but she had never liked taking advantage of
others. Her friends would be giving her money for free if she went with it.
Watching K’s indecisiveness, Grace said, “K, you may think about it. There’s no need to answer

“Thank you. I’ll think about it.” K was speaking when her cell phone suddenly rang, so she answered
it. After listening for a while, her expression instantly changed and she quickly said, “Okay, got it. I’ll

Something happened to Nelson.”
“Nelson? What happened to him?” Grace and Lina asked hurriedly.
“They said he beat up his ssmates at school. His ss teacher asked me to go over now.” K
woke Mrs. Corbyn, who was taking a nap inside, to take care of the store. Then, she packed up her
things and went to the school.
Grace and Lina followed her to the school.
When they arrived at the discipline office, they saw that Nelson Corbyn’s uniform zipper was torn and
one sleeve was ripped. Dirt covered his body in many ces, his face was red and swollen, and his
lips were injured.
K quickly ran forward as she looked at her son in distress. “What happened? How did you get into a
fight?”
However, Nelson said nothing. He only lowered his head. He seemed anxious as the hands by his
sides were clutching the dirty hem of his shirt.
K paused a little. “Nelson, what’s wrong? Tell me what happened.”
