"I worked part-time to support myself through college! You dropped out, which was your own choice. Over the years, I've sent a lot of money back home. Speaking of which, everything you eat, use, and live in, is what I've contributed to. I don't owe anything to the Reid family!"

“Scarlett, what are you saying? What do you mean by that? We are all one family. In the future, when you have children, your children will have to call him uncle. So, please help your younger brother."

I shook off her hand and said, "You guys should leave. I don't have any money. If you don't leave, my roommate will call the police."

Jack said angrily and left., "You bitch. If you have the guts, don't go home again."

After hearing his words, my mother quietly looked up at me and chased after him.

I sat on the sofa. My thoughts were a bit scattered.

"It's time to break off contact, but I just can't bring myself to do it."

"In those years, if it weren't for my good grades and the efforts of my homeroom teacher to persuade my parents to apply for financial aid, I probably couldn't attend high school, let alone attend a university in Chicago."

"However, poverty is not the reason I want to escape from that home. It is the gender bias of my parents and the backwardness and ignorance in the mountain village that drive me away."

Eileen came out of the room, wearing a dress with diamonds. She looked at me.

The sound insulation of this room was not good. She probably heard everything.

She nodded at me and left.

She should go to work.

I, who had been confused, just realized that I had forgotten something.

I forgot to have a showdown with her.

"Forget it. I don't have the energy to argue with her anymore. I will move to a hotel tomorrow and find a new place to live. Without the relationship of being my roommate, Eileen can't get close to Gavin anymore."

"I have to ask Gavin to delete her from WhatsApp."

"What are you talking about? Miss Solomon would never be interested in me. She is so beautiful, and she doesn't lack any money. Why would she want to hook up with me?" Gavin thought I was joking with him.

His words made me inexplicably angry. I said, "What do you mean? Am I not pretty enough, or I don't have money, so I am with you? Is she so good that you feel unworthy of her?"

"Anyway, delete her."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll do as you say. Alright."

I hung up the call and searched for rental information online.
