Pearl's Thoughts

[Chapter 288]

Billy and the others left.

They had to leave under the deterrence of several large men in the security department.

After all, they were people from a small town, and they had never seen many aspects of society.

They could not do anything if Pearl decided to go head-on with them.

They did not dare to make trouble at East League International. The security guards were not t o be trifled with, and when they saw the large men, they were all scared. Besides, if things escalated, they might even be forced to stay in a holding cell for a few days.

After two months of experience, Pearl already had the deterrent of a powerful woman.

They did not dare to gamble on whether Pearl would really sue them.

Thus, they could only leave in despair.

It was absolutely impossible for Billy and his wife, who had been farmers all their lives, to do something like break the law. If they were to stay in the holding cell for a few days, they would not be able to hold their heads up in the village for the rest of their lives, and even after they died, they would not be able to face the Warner ancestors.

This time, they came with excitement and returned with disappointment.

Minnie's parents were even angrier. Not only did they not get any benefits, but they also hadt o pay for the commute.

Pearl stood by the window of her office. She was a little dazed as she watched them leave.

It was not that she was heartless.

However, she knew that she could not allow this to happen.

At least not now.

She had lived with them for so many years and she knew her family too well.

If she gave in today, then they would keep asking for more, forming an endless loops. Moreover, the amount would only keep getting bigger.

When she first started working, she would send 500 dollars back home every month. Then,

gradually they started to ask for an increment for various reasons. From one thousand to two thousand, and then five thousand, ten thousand, and in the end, twenty thousand.

Even so, they were still not satisfied and wanted to ask for more.

In their hearts, their daughter would be married sooner or later, so before she got married, all the money she earned should be handed over to them. Otherwise, they did not know which rascal would benefit from her in the future.

When she thought about this, Pearl thought of David again.

She worked hard just because she wanted to get closer to David.

However, closer she got to him, the more hopeless she became. It felt like it did not matter how hard she tried, it would be impossible to gain the support of David's family.

The background of the David family was too deep; they could just spend hundreds of billions of dollars casually-and the amount was still increasing. In such a top-tier wealthy family, his family would definitely arrange everything for him, even marriage. David might not be able to make his own decisions.

However, after meeting David, who else could interest her anymore?

The answer was nobody.

Perhaps she was doomed to grow old alone.

She felt a little irritable when she thought of this question. 'Let's not think about it for now, we'll just take it one step at a time.'

As for Sam and the others.

If her parents continued to behave like this, she could only wait until they grew so old that they could not move and scold people before she went back to see them. Then, she would hire two caretakers for them and finally let them enjoy the rest of their lives.

As for Sam, since he could gamble the money she gave him for tuition, who could ensure that the money would not disappear this time as well?

It was not the money he made himself with hard work, so he would not feel the pain of wasting it.

Thus, she would wait until he got married and matured a little so he could understand his sister's difficulties, and then she would see how she could help him out.

That day, there was an earthquake in the upper-class circle of Capital City.

Especially in the T Faction.

Zachary, one of the eight great fighters, had died suddenly.
