Chapter 1452 Le''s Future n
The wooden chair moved slightly backward as Le slumped in relief. Finally, she felt assured after she
had received the money from Melissa. She''d made so many efforts to make it happen, and now it was
done. The money could help her out of her current predicament of starvation and homelessness, which
was a big relief.
Silence hung in the air while Melissa and Le sat in the coffee shop. Something between them had
changed as the air between them felt awkward. At that moment, Melissa decided to break the ice and
talk about the Lu family''s affairs. After all, they were still on the same side when it came to Sheryl.
"Oh my, Le! Did you know, I''ve been isted after you left our house! The bitch Sheryl had gone too
far these days. She doesn''t even show me, her mother-inw, the slightest bit of respect. Can you
imagine that! I''m so mad!" sheined.
There were so manyints Melissa aired out that she couldn''t even stop the words from pouring
out of her mouth. She couldn''tin at home, since the servants were on Sheryl''s side. They would
never listen to her. What was worse was that they might tell on her to Charles, which would only make
her son dislike her even more.
When she was out with other richdies, she wouldn''t talk about her family affairs either because of her
arrogance. If her friends knew that Sheryl had been stepping on her, they would simply despise her. No
one sympathized with her.
However, Le was different. She hated Sheryl as much as Melissa did. Thus, Melissa freely vented
out her frustrations.
But to be honest, Le also felt impatient as Melissa still sang the same old song. Then again, she

couldn''t show her real emotions in front of Melissa even if she repeated the old stories again and again.
"Oh my God! How dare she! I didn''t know that she would get even more vicious. But Aunt Melissa,
don''t be mad. Your bad mood might affect your health. It''s not worth to sacrifice your health for a
woman like her. You can just neglect and ignore her," Le consoled softly.
Her eyes looked at Melissa sincerely like she really meant what she said. Then, she pointed out how
bad Sheryl had treated her in the past, and how she saw Sheryl''s true colors. The two started to curse
and badmouth Sheryl with the nastiest words.
Melissa felt much better when she vented out her anger and frustrations. She felt that somehow, the
curse words could really hurt Sheryl, and she had gotten her revenge by doing all those.
Soon enough, their conversation ended. Melissa felt pretty satisfied and didn''t mean to stay long with
Le. After she paid her bill, she bid Le goodbye and took her leave.
As soon as Melissa got out, she thought that no matter what, Le still threatened her in the message.
She realized that Le wasn''t the innocentdy she pretended to be. Even if they had spent a long time
together and she trusted Le so much in the past, she felt uneasy when she was in the cafe with her.
She felt as if Le was a beast lurking in the shadows, ready to attack her at any moment.
It was like she was sitting on a spiked rug whenever Le was around. Le threatened her for money
and promised her that it was thest time, but Melissa knew that she had always been a big liar. Who
knew how she would spend the money? Le mighte to her and threaten her again in the near
future.
Therefore, before Melissa left, she told Le, "Dear, I''ll be very busy in the next few months. I''m afraid
that I won''t have time to meet you from now on."
Melissa''s words were simple but meaningful. She meant to say that Le shouldn''te to her again,
as she didn''t have time or money to help her out next time. She was not obliged to give Le money.
On the other hand, Le also understood what Melissa meant. She clenched her fist under the table in
silence, while her nails dug deeply into her palm.
She was full of rage and hatred!
She hated that Melissa tried to push her away, that Melissa was being cruel to her, and that Melissa
despised her, but she had helped Melissa so many times before!
"Yes, Aunt Melissa. Please take care of yourself, and I won''t disturb you anymore," Le answered in a
low voice to try to suppress her anger.
Upon hearing that, Melissa smiled and nodded, then left the coffee shop.
Meanwhile, Le still sat on the chair, and stared nkly as if Melissa was still in front of her. She
couldn''t forget how disdainful Melissa looked as she gazed at her.
After quite a while, Le managed to muster up enough strength to move on. She stood up and left the
coffee shop, then headed to her apartment.
As Le dragged herself back, she kept thinking about how she would use the money Melissa had
given her. She didn''t know how much there was in the bank card, but one thing was for sure: Melissa
wouldn''t give her too much. She was too selfish for that, but it was nice of her to offer some help.
Since money was limited, Le knew that she couldn''t live her life before of staying at home and
depleting all her resources. If she didn''t change, she would end up in the same embarrassing situation
again, and she wouldn''t be as lucky to get any money from Melissa again.
Thus, she thought that she must make good use of the money to build a fortune.
However, how would she do that?
All these thoughts drowned Le''s mind for a while.
As she thought more about it, she strolled along the street until she reached her home. It was already
dark at night when she came back to her senses.
She opened her bedroom door and threw herself on the bed. She looked positively worried as she
stretched her worn out limbs.
As far as she knew, the only way to make more money was to make an investment. She thought about
starting her own business, but shecked the rted experience and didn''t know where to start.
Moreover, she didn''t know what business she would devote herself to. If by any chance her investment
failed, she would lose all her money. That would only worsen her situation.
Several days had passed since that incident. Le finally decided to do some research. It was a
scorching hot summer, but she went out early and came back at dusk every day, until she finally knew
what she would sell.
At a five-star hotel
The bright light slowly prated Cassie''s eyes before she fully opened them. She looked around and
realized that she was in an unfamiliar ce.
The things that happenedst night shed back in her mind. Cassie felt her heart shatter again.
She couldn''t figure out why Nick had treated her like that! Why did he do that?
After a while, Cassie was pulled back to reality by her flowing tears. She wiped them dry and decided
to let it go. Since Nick had fallen in love with someone else, Cassie wouldn''t cling to him anymore.
She thought that it was time to let go and move forward. After all, she could still live a happy life and
meet other nice guys without Nick.
However, love wasn''t rational. She felt so much pain after she realized that she and Nick would be
separated forever. Only time could take away her pain.
A few momentster, Cassie slowly got up from the bed. She was about to go to the bathroom and
refresh herself when the doorbell rang.
''Who could that be?'' Cassie thought. ''Is it the hotel staff?''
Cassie checked her dress before she answered the door. She wore a nightgown; it wasn''t formal but it
was appropriate enough. She headed towards the door and opened it.
A waiter stood outside and smiled at her.
"Good morning. Can I help you?" Cassie asked in mild surprise. "Good morning. This is the breakfast
we have prepared for you. May Ie in?" the waiter asked politely.
He showed her the trolley behind him, which smelled of delicious dishes. Cassie nced at the trolley
The hotel service was better than she thought. She didn''t ask for breakfast, but they initiated and
brought it to her room.
