Chapter 701
“Mister…” Aurelia’s voice was shaky. “May I know what ‘people like us’ are like to you?”
Neil’s disdainful attitude and despising gaze made him apletely different person from the man who
saved her from the police just now. Something sharp seemed to have pierced the pink bubble within
her as it burst.
Yeah, “people like her” must not be worthy of a nce from him.
“Ms. Chilton, don’t be upset,” Cordelia said gently, “Fredric’s our friend, and we’re worried for him now
that he got into danger. The entire matter feels suspicious too, so we hope you can tell us the truth.”
Aurelia bent down to pick up the metal box on the floor and held it close to her.
What truth did she have to tell? She had repeated the truth thousands of times, but they did not believe
her!
“Acting mute again?” Neil raised his voice, gripping her arm.
Aurelia gasped in pain. She barely knew him for the day, but he had already grabbed her arm so many
times that there was already a mark.
“Why do you think I covered for you in front of the police?” Neil gritted his teeth. “If you don’t tell the
truth, I swear you’ll end up worse than in the police station!”
“Let go of me!” Aurelia struggled with reddened eyes.
Like a small animal forced to the corner, she scanned the group of people with an unwavering gaze.
They were rich and influential and had a high status. The difference between these people and her was
like heaven and earth.
It was as easy as stepping on an ant for them to kill her, right? What had she done wrong, though?
Was saving the man wrong? Was protecting herself wrong?
Was she not supposed to drag Fredric back to the basement and treat his wound the night they met?
Should she have let him bleed to death on the street filled with thugs?
Aurelia’s shoulders shook out of fear and indignation.
The old nomaddy was right. These people with status were all bad guys who trampled all over others
from a high point!

“Fine, I’ll speak!” Aurelia pushed each word out of her gritted teeth. “When I met Fredric that night, he
was on the ground covered in blood! I took him home, stopped his bleeding, and dressed his wound. I
even bought anti-inmmatory and antipyretic for him and fed him bread and milk! I’ve done my best to
take care of him. What else do you want me to do?Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay

“Why didn’t I call the police or the hospital?” Aurelia chuckled bitterly. “I’m of mixed ethnicity, and I’ve
been living in the basement since I could remember. My father was a drug addict, and my mother was
a prostitute. They abandoned me when I was ten and left nothing for me!

“They came here illegally from different countries. They aren’t registered, and so am I! Once people like
us are looked into, we’ll be deported…
“Where do you think I can go after leaving this ce? Illegal immigrants can be sent back to their home
countries. They have a country to go back to, but me? Where can I go!?
“The world’s so big, but there’s no ce for me!”
Aurelia shouted in one go and crouched on the floor sobbing.
It was not like she had never done anything bad while growing up. She sometimes stole a little to
survive. She did not think of herself to be a kind soul but had still taken the risk of being caught by the
police and sent Fredric to the hospital at the critical juncture!
She even took all her money along!
Was she wrong? Why could others humiliate and misunderstand her like this!?
The hallway went quiet. Only the girl’s sobs could be heard.
Cordelia felt bad.
She had been living in the basement back in the Jenners, and she had gone through Yelena and
Joanne’s ridicule and insults too. She had also felt hopeless about life.
Aurelia was as if looking back to her past self. She thought that the girl was not a bad person. She had
cushioned her and protected her when she fell down.
Cordelia slowly went over to her and extended a hand.
“Ms. Chilton, the floor’s cold. Get up first.”
