Charlie asked, “So, Dad, do you have any plans?”He did not know what Jacob was thinking at this moment. Seeing Jacob’s sorrowful expression, he assumed that Jacob might want to lend Lady Wilson a helping hand.Jacob simply sighed and said, “As her son, it breaks my heart to see my own mother living such a hard-knock life and doing such a tedious job. I should not just sit on my hands and watch.”The next second, he closed his eyes and said, “However, I didn’t see anything! It was nothing but an illusion!”With that, he quickly turned around and said, “Charlie, let’s go buy some fish, shrimp, meat, and eggs. As for the vegetables, let’s buy them at another supermarket. What do you think?”Knowing Jacob’s intention, Charlie immediately smiled and said, “Yes, Dad. I’m thinking the same thing. The vegetables in this supermarket are not so fresh. Let’s go to the wet market later to buy the vegetables! First, let’s go see if they have a larger Boston lobster, and we’ll buy some back!”

Charlie also saw Hannah.When he laid eyes on Hannah’s green vest, he felt that it was somewhat comical. He started wondering what she looked like when she was working at the coal mine back then and if she was given a uniform. He even started to imagine what she would look like in the coal mine uniform.Hannah was feeling very frustrated now, shooting a vengeful glare at Charlie.Charlie was the one who had brought all these miseries upon her. It was he who had ruined it all when she tried to spring a trap on Elaine.That was not all.The worst part was that he had donated all her money to charity and then sent her to the coal mine!When she thought of her wretched moments in the coal mine, she couldn’t help cursing, “This d*mned Charlie! He sent me to that hell hole! I gave up so much when I was there, but what I got in return were STDs and a child! If it were not for him, I wouldn’t be so miserable today…”The more she thought about it, the more agitated she felt toward Charli
Chapter 1994
Hannah had only just come to the supermarket today to apply for a part-time job at a hundred dollars a day, but after having a conversation with the manager, he decided to let her take the job as a cashier since she was a college graduate.Cashier work was not as tiring as the other tasks, and the wage was a hundred and fifty a day. Therefore, she had agreed to the job offer in delight.The manager would love to have Hannah at the post she was at now if there were no big issues, but he could not keep her if she dared to provoke customers at the checkout counter. Fortunately, since she was just casually bickering with her relatives, the manager decided to let it slide and reminded her, “You need to watch out for your image since you are on duty now. Don’t chit-chat even if they are your relatives when you’re working, got it?”Hannah hurriedly nodded and said flatteringly, “Don’t worry. I won’t do it again!”The manager nodded and prepared to turn and leave when Jacob said, “Hey, a

The manager instantly understood what was going on after hearing Jacob’s remark, and he thought to himself, ‘So, Hannah clashed with customers, shouted at them, and even lied to my face in front of the customers! This is simply outrageous! If I kept her here for the job, I wonder how many customers she will offend next, and it may end up dragging me down too! No! I must get rid of her now!’Thinking of this, the manager said in a stern voice without hesitation, “Hannah Wilson, I hired you to work as a temp here, but I didn’t expect you to mistreat customers! I don’t think you are suitable for the job. Give me the cashier keys now, take off your vest, and leave!”Hannah felt as if her world had crumbled upon her!She thought to herself, ‘I came here early in the morning to look for a job, and I’ve been working so hard all morning! It’s almost lunchtime, and I was looking forward to going to the staff canteen and enjoying my free lunch, but I was fired! In this case, not only do I hav

Hannah shouted desperately, “Who are you to expel me?! Why aren’t you paying me a salary?!” No matter how loudly she shouted, no one pitied her nor sympathized with her. When Hannah was about to be dragged out from the supermarket, the manager said to Charlie and Jacob apologetically, “Let me offer my sincere apologies to both of you. It was my fault for hiring an unsuitable candidate to work here.” Jacob nodded, then he said, “It wasn’t your fault. Nonetheless, you are responsible for this incident as you didn’t hire the suitable worker!” Jacob then sighed and said melancholically, “You have poor judgement.” The manager nodded his head in embarrassment, “Your criticism is right. I’ll learn from my mistakes!” Jacob patted his shoulder and said proudly, “You still need more experience!” “Yes!” The manager nodded his head repeatedly. Then, he waved his hand at a cashier who had just finished her meal and was about to start her shift, and he said to her,
Chapter 1997
At this moment, Hannah felt that the days she had here were worse than those days at Mount Blackpine.She cried while reminiscing those days at Mount Blackpine, sighing as she said, “Despite those days at Mount Blackpine being not that good either, at least I did not have to starve when I was with the supervisor!” “Not only did I not have to starve, but I also did not have to do much work. Moreover, I also could gamble with Linda Howard and her family. How I miss those days!”“Although the supervisor looked ugly and was unhygienic, he was good in bed and had enabled me to experience unprecedented feelings…” Thinking of this, Hannah sighed. She sobbed and said to Wendy, who was by her side, “Wendy, how are we going to go through these tough days? We face many problems every day. Gone is our money, our company has gone bankrupt, we’re staying at a stranger's villa, and we hardly even have meals to consume. When will days like these end?” Wendy couldn’t help but cry too a
Chapter 1998
Wendy said, “Gerald and I had gone upstairs to meet Doris. Not only did she refuse to see us, but she also humiliated us by saying that Emgrand Group wouldn’t cooperate with those of the lower class like us. Soon afterward, Gerald was beaten up by Emgrand Group’s security guard…” Wendy then continued, “Later on, Emgrand Group terminated the partnership with the White family. Gerald’s father and uncle were very furious. Ever since then, Gerald started to stray away from me while his uncle, Zeke, had grown closer with Charlie. He even gifted Charlie the villa next to his…” “After that, the agreement between Claire and Emgrand Group had been terminated as a result of Grandma breaking her promise. Since then, our family has gone downhill…” “Wendell used to pursue Claire. Amidst that, his family was declared bankrupt. Since then, he had also disappeared into thin air...” “Likewise, Jason Grant used to court Claire. Eventually, Jason and his father, Justin disappeared. To

When Hannah heard that Wendy was willing to be Charlie’s concubine, she felt anxious. She blurted out, “Wendy, have you lost your mind? Why must you be that loser’s concubine? He’s no match for you!” Wendy sighed, then said softly, “Mother, to be honest, Charlie isn’t bad. He is handsome, responsible, and has a good personality. He’s way better than Gerald.” “Ridiculous!” Hannah glared at her before blurting out, “That loser is no match for you in any way!” Wendy smiled bitterly, “In these years, my situation cannot be any worse. I’ve fallen from being a phoenix to becoming a chicken now.” Speaking of this, Wendy couldn’t help but sobbed, “Mother, look at me. My reputation is gone. No guys will bother to give me even a single glance…” Seeing Wendy’s tears streamed down on her face, Hannah embraced her head into her arm and comforted her, “My lovely daughter, we shouldn’t think this way. What is reputation? Isn’t staying alive more important than anything e
