Chapter 538: In Debt


    “Why are you angry? L, I’m aware that our family isn’t rich nor powerful. Is that why you look down


    upon us?” Eva asked loudly over the phone. She spoke in a blunt and impolite manner.


    “I just want you to leave me alone,” L replied, holding back her anger. In all honesty, she’d rather not


    admit that these people were her family, but they were all she had. She had lived under the White


    family’s protection for over two decades, so she didn’t have much social experience.


    Sadly, her ties to the White family as their daughter were now gone. Though it pained her to admit this,


    she didn’t have the courage to live all alone. At the very least, she hated the very idea of feeling alone.


    That was why she didn’t cut ties with the Gillians even though she really hated them.


    “Don’t you know who gave you all these? If I hadn’t reced the White family’s daughter with you back in


    the hospital, you wouldn’t have lived such a wealthy life for decades!” Eva cursed.


    “If it weren’t for me, none of that would’ve happened!” Her words served to infuriate L. She


    immediately ended the phone call and eximed, “What a crazy bitch!”


    The phone callpletely ruined her good mood. After getting out of the bath tub, Ly on the bed,


    uncertain of what to do next. She couldn’t live like this forever. The White family had indeed given her


    lots of money, but no matter how much money she had, she’d use them all up someday. It was clear to


    her that with her current lifestyle, she’d burn through all her money up sooner orter.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    “I have to find a job.” She got up from the bed, determined to go through with her decision. Truthfully, she


    didn’t like to work, but she couldn’t just sit there and do nothing.


    Without the White family’s support, she had neither background nor resources. She thought about her


    situation carefully. She was already in her twenties, but she didn’t have any savings to support herself


    and she didn’t even have something she could call her strength.


    Even when she was in the White Group before, she seldom did any real job. All she did was chat with


    the other employees or y video games inside her office. Because she was the daughter of the White


    family, nobody was bold enough to speak ill of her. But now, she had lost her identity as the White


    family’s daughter. Nobody would even want her for an interview. Aside from that, the Whites bought her


    diploma for her because she didn’t study one day back when she was in college. The more she thought


    about her situation, the more it annoyed her. Thereafter, she rolled on the bed and sighed.


    “Forget it! I still have some money left. I’ll just enjoy myself for a little while longer before I think of how to


    make some more money,” she muttered to herself.

    After the phone call, Jeff stood up from the sofa and asked, “What did she say? Is sheing home?”


    “She said that the money was hers and told us to leave her alone,” Eva replied impatiently.


    “She’s staying at an expensive hotel. Doesn’t she have any idea how we’re doing here?” Jeff scratched


    his sunken cheek and grunted, “Since she doesn’t want toe home, I’ll move there. Mom, call her and


    ask her to get me a room, too.” Hesitantly, Eva replied, “She’s not easy to get along with. She doesn’t


    even listen to me, for God’s sake! Just drop it. As long as she can take care of herself.”


    Jeff pursed his lips, sat back down on the sofa, and rubbed his chin while contemting. His sister must


    be very rich. He had heard that the White family was very rich.


    Even though L didn’t tell them how much money she had, he believed that the Whites had given her


    tons of money before kicking her out. In addition to that, he had been following L around these past


    few days. She was staying at a five-star hotel, eating at high-end restaurants, and shopping like crazy in


    luxury brand stores.


    Jeff felt envious. What a selfish bitch! She had so much money, and yet she didn’t want to


    give them a single penny. He rolled his eyes and shouted at Eva while thetter was cooking in the


    kitchen, “Mom, I’m going out to eat with my friend. Don’t wait up.”


    Eva didn’t stop him. She had only this one son and she had always spoiled him.


    *******


    By the time Jeff got home, it was already midnight. Upon hearing the noiseing from the front door,


    Evan got up and turned on the light to get a good look at him.


    “Why didn’t you even call to let us know that you’d being home thiste?” sheined.


    The smells of cigarettes and alcohol were apparent on Jeff, and his eyes were bloodshot. He didn’t act


    as arrogantly as before, and panic could be seen on his face. He grabbed his hair and desperately


    stammered, “M-mom, what should I do?”


    The look on his face frightened Eva. She embraced him and asked, “What happened, honey?”


    Jeff looked up at her and spoke in a choked voice.


    “I… I owe a huge debt of one million, and I have to pay it right away. The creditors said that if I can’t pay


    them back in three days, they’ll kill me!”
