Chapter 535 Severed All Ties


    The servant packed up L''s bags, who still refused to leave, and even went out of her way to force


    the servant to put her things back.


    She couldn''t possibly leave like this.


    She had to fight for her right to be here. It was beneath her to live a poor life.


    After mulling it in her head for a while, L decided to have a talk with both Johanna and J. As


    long as the two of them agreed to it, she still had onest chance to stay in the Whites'' household.


    She really would do anything to stay here.


    When the second day came around, L waited outside the door of J''s room early in the


    morning.


    It was actually Ethan who opened the door, helping J out of her room.


    With Ethan around, L didn''t dare to do anything rash. Her n was to plead to J when she


    was alone. She didn''t think at first that Ethan would be around her twenty-four hours a day.


    However, after they left the house, they didn''te back. The Whites also hadn''t returned since


    they went out yesterday. L had no idea where to find them.


    L stayed in the Whites'' house for three whole days, then, the newspaper reported that the White


    family had announced that they had severed all ties with her. She would from now on take her birth


    father''sst name, which was Gillian. From this point on, she was no long a White.


    L White was now L Gillian.


    It was not until L finished reading the newspaper article that she recovered her senses. Both Beal


    and Johanna had seen through her thoughts from the very beginning. Now that this was indeed


    decided, there was nothing she could do to change it.


    The announcement in the newspaper clearly reported that she was no longer the adopted daughter


    of the White family. She had no ties with the White family now.


    L was very much heartbroken. She left the White family with her luggage and headed straight to


    the Torres family''s house.


    Now, the only person she could rely on was Eric. When Eric opened the door and saw L show up


    at his doorstep, he nced over at his wife and son inside the house and asked with a very


    unnatural expression on his face, "What are you doing here, L? Didn''t I tell you to nevere to


    my house?"


    L burst into tears and said, "Did you hear? I was just kicked out of the White family. Eric, I have


    no idea where to go now. You said you would marry me. Let''s speed things along, all right?"


    This trick happened to work best before. Whenever she cried, Eric would never be able to deny her


    anything.


    L thought that she was very young and beautiful. If Eric could divorce his wife and marry her now,


    it would be a good way for her to escape the life of struggling in poverty.


    Right then, she saw that Eric had a sneer on his face.


    He had already found out that the White family had broken off their rtionship with L, so he


    didn''t want to continue deceiving her anymore. "You should head back to your birth parents. Just so


    you know, I won''t marry you, L. Do you actually think you deserve to be my wife now that you


    have no title or money?"


    He went on to sayzily, "If you''re still interested in being my mistress, we can keep it up. If not, I


    won''t force you to do anything. Head back and think it over carefully. And don''te here again. If


    my pregnant wife sees you, I won''t let you get away with this."


    It was not until then that L found out what kind of person Eric truly was. She was so angry that


    she snapped at him right on the spot, "Who wants to be your mistress? You''re an absolute jerk,


    Eric!"

    Eric ignored her words, mmed the door, and shut her out.


    L was both angry and regretful at once. With tears in her eyes, she turned around and left.


    It was obvious that she and Eric were no more.


    But when she was halfway back, she began to regret it in her heart. She shouldn''t have made such


    a huge scene and left herself no way to turn back.


    Even if she kept on being Eric''s mistress, it would be much better than going back to the Gillians


    with her tail between her legs.


    She had never visited the Gillians before, but she had heard word that they weren''t very rich.


    L was in total despair right then.


    She found herself in a dilemma.


    The White family had made up their mind to cut ties with her. There was no way she could


    shamelessly turn to beg them again.


    L really had nowhere to go. After walking around the streets for a long while, she took a cab to


    her birth parents'' residence unwillingly ording to the address Beal had given her.
