To avoid debt, the phone card was pulled out and thrown into a river.
And the Shawn family had already dropped me out of school
So many friends disappeared in one night.
The one who was still willing to reply to messages was the man who wanted to support me.
My life was extremely dark at that time.
Debt and despair had surrounded me.
I couldn't even think of a poor student far away in a foreign country.
After all, he still needed my support for his life.
I also assumed that our relationship was centered around me.
So I unilaterally declared the end.
The company held a banquet.
I stood at the door as a receptionist.
I looked up and saw a beautiful couple standing out among the crowd.
Joseph and Emily were arm in arm in the center of the banquet.
They were a perfect match.
I suppressed the bitterness in my heart, no longer looking there.
"Helena?"
A voice full of uncertainty broke into my empty mind.
When I turned around, I saw several rich girls with whom I had once been at odds.
I cursed inwardly, "What a bad day."
Then I put on a standard professional smile.
"Ma'am, our banquet is about to begin. You can find your seat and take a rest."
"You must be Helena."
They seemed to have found a rare toy.
Everyone started talking at once.
"Helena, how did you end up like this? If you have any difficulties, you can ask us to help you.
We are from the same school after all."
Maisy took my hand in a pretentious manner.
She pretended to be innocent.
But I still remembered that she bullied others in school.
When I slapped her at that time, she cried.
"Do you work here? Why bother so much?
It's easy to get you some money."
As soon as she finished speaking, a burst of laughter rang out.
This kind of humiliation was what they were best at.
There were no wounds.
But it was indeed hurt.
It hurt deeply.
I had no intention of arguing with them, so I turned around and wanted to leave.
But someone pulled my back.
"Let me go!"
"Helena, if you leave now, I guarantee that you will lose your job."
They showed their true faces.
"Is that it? Maisy, I haven't seen you for so many years and you're still so petty.
If I were you and became a nouveau riche, I would secretly be happy with the money, instead of showing off like a fool and making people laugh at me."
The contempt in my tone angered her even more.
She said harshly.
"Helena, you don't still think you are the daughter of the Shawn family, do you?
How dare you be so arrogant?
