Chapter 537 Ever-Growing Disgust


    "Your sister used to live with the White family. How could she own a fake bag? Anyway, you came


    home just in time for dinner. Come and sit down." Eva waved gestured her children toe in with


    a smile.


    Irritation shed in L''s eyes and she walked to the dining table reluctantly.


    The house was so small that the living area and kitchen were pretty much one room and there was


    barely enough space for the four of them. As if the cramped feeling wasn''t enough, the ce was


    filthy, too. A few flies hovered over the food.


    Eva scooped some gunk into a bowl and put it in front of L. "Eat it while it''s hot. I didn''t know


    you''d be here for dinner, so I didn''t buy any other ingredients beforehand."


    L was used to a life of luxury. She only ever had food made with imported fresh ingredients. Her


    taste buds were ustomed to food from high-end restaurants and their home chefs. She had


    never seen "peasant" food such as the bowl of gunk in front of her.


    But since she was already here, she had no choice but to eat it. However, the second she put the


    spoon in her mouth, she felt like vomiting.


    The disgusting-looking dishes coupled with the overall stench of the home made her lose her


    appetite. She sulkily pushed the bowl away and pouted.


    That evening, after tidying up the house, Eva approached L with an embarrassed smile. "We only


    have two bedrooms; one for me and your dad and the other is for your brother Jeff. You''ll have to


    make do in the living room, is that okay?" L looked at her in a daze, not knowing what to say.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Well, there was nothing she could say.


    She couldn''t stay in Glenn and Eva''s room because they smelled terrible. On the other hand, Jeff''s


    room was just filthy.


    As for the living room... L nced at the piles of garbage. This whole ce was like a trash bin.


    Eva wanted her to sleep in here? What was the difference between sleeping here and on the


    street?


    The more L looked around, the more disgusted she felt with this family. She didn''t want to live


    here at all. When she left the White family, Johanna had given her a generous amount of money. As


    long as she didn''t squander it, it would be enough for her to live a carefree life for a couple of years.


    Thinking of this, L put on a fake smile. "Don''t worry. I''ll stay in a hotel."


    As she spoke, she quickly grabbed her luggage and headed for the door.


    "That''s really not necessary!" Eva hurriedly stopped her. "Our house might not be as nice as the


    Whites'', but we can make do..."


    L couldn''t stand being inside this house a second longer, so without replying, she turned around


    and left with a sneer.

    A few dayster, L was lying peacefully in a luxurious bathtub in her hotel room with rose petals


    floating around her. She stretched her arms and yawned, picked up a ss of red wine on the side,


    and sipped it carefully.


    These days, she had been staying in the hotel. She hadn''t felt so rxed in so long. This was the


    kind of life for her.


    However, her moment of peace was interrupted by the shrill ringtone of the mobile phone.


    "Hello?" she asked irritably. "Who''s this?"


    "When''re youing back, L?" Eva asked in an anxious voice. She had called L many times in


    the past few days. "Your brother told me that the hotel you''re staying in is very expensive. Why don''t


    you juste back and stay at home with your family?"


    Eva seemed to have been born with a loud voice, so as she spoke into the receiver, L felt as


    though she was about to go deaf.


    Before L could say anything, she heard Jeff shouting in the background, "She could''ve spent that


    money buying me new clothes! How could she just burn the money and stay in a five-star hotel


    alone for so long?"


    L rolled her eyes impatiently.


    The more she learned about the Gillian family, the more disgusted she was with them.


    Glenn was an alcoholic who always skipped work while Eva was a dirty-mouthed shrew.


    Jeff was the worst of them. Her younger brother was a jobless punk who still lived with his parents


    even though he was in his 20s. Worse yet, he always demanded money from his parents and would


    make a scene if he couldn''t get any.


    "I don''t want to go back. The money is mine. I can do whatever I want with it. It''s none of your


    business," L hissed into the receiver.


    Judging from the many phone calls from Eva, she could tell that her parents didn''t love her. They


    had always wanted a son, not a daughter. So obviously they only loved Jeff.
