Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Sophia was about to agree with David when her mother, Laura, started crying again. She was shocked. “Mom, what happened to you?”
She knew that her mother was a very emotional person. She often cried about her this month. But her mother was only talking and laughing with them about the child’s gender. They did not bring up any sad topics. Why did she suddenly start crying?
Laura quickly took a tissue to wipe away her tears and forced a smile. “It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s just that my eyes are watery because I’m old.”
Olivia guessed that Laura must have thought of something sad, but she did not want her children to worry, so she played along and said, “Aunt Laura must be tired from doing so much work at home.”
Sophia said worriedly, “Mother, you have to take care of your body and rest well.”
Laura sighed and nodded and did not ask about Sebastian.
…
Anita took Raphael to her hometown to meet her grandfather. The next day, they went back to their villa.
She was alone in the villa. Her eldest brother, Joseph, and her second brother, Sebastian, were not there.
Anita knew, without a doubt, that Joseph with his fiancee, Trisha. She found out that Trisha was pregnant last night.
She remembered that on a video call yesterday, her parents, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time, were so excited that they said they would come back to plan the wedding for the two of them.
After all, her parents had been traveling the world ever since her brother took over the job after graduation, and they often didn’t come back.
After Trisha became pregnant, their mother wanted to come back, but she also claimed that she would stay at home for a very long time.
She seemed to take it very seriously.
Anita was a little excited because she hadn’t seen her parents for a long time. But what made her even more excited was her parents’ promise last night. When she graduated, around the time Trisha gave birth to the child, they would bring her along when they traveled again so she could experience foreign countries.
She didn’t need to work at home anyway, she didn’t have the brain and didn’t like to work, so it would be best if she could go out and play.
Anita was daydreaming happily when the phone rang.
It was Daisy.
Daisy said she was already at Anita’s door and asked if Anita was home.
After getting an affirmative answer from Anita, she came in.
Daisy would be coming over for the next two weeks, and Anita was already used to her being around.
However, Daisy looked a little haggard today. Anita poured her a glass of water and asked with concern, “What’s wrong? Daisy, you don’t look well.”
“Something horrible happened.” Daisy’s eyes were red as she cried to Anita. “Do you remember that I went to an entertainment company for an interview last week?”
Anita remembered that and asked in confusion, “Did you fail?”
“I did pass.” Daisy wiped away her tears. She bit her lip and said, “They offered me a very generous salary and said they would give me a lot of resources to act as the female lead in the movie. I was so moved that I didn’t notice something wrong with the contract!”
Anita repeated in surprise, “There’s something wrong with the contract?”
“Yes! They asked me to obey them, or else they would sue me and make me pay a huge penalty for breaching the contract!”
“That’s horrible.” Anita frowned.
Daisy continued, “And that is not the worst part. The worst part is… They want me to film adult movies! I don’t want to, so they are forcing me to pay!”
She burst into tears. “Do you know what kind of men they are? They’re all short, fat, and ugly! How can I sleep with such men? Anita, help me! Please help me!”
Anita couldn’t bear it. “How can I help you?”
Daisy cried for a while and looked at her pitifully with her red and swollen eyes. “Can you lend me some money?”
Anita did not hesitate. She immediately nodded and asked, “How much do you need?”
Anita had nothing but money.
“I need 500,000 dollars.”
It was not a lot, but it was not a small amount either.
Anita silently calculated her savings. She should have enough. She promised, “Wait, I’ll go get that for you.’
Daisy nodded gratefully.
After Anita went upstairs, Daisy sat on the sofa alone and thought indignantly. Those people are despicable. It was okay if they had asked her to sleep with her boss. But they were asking her to sleep with those big-bellied investors. Those men were fat, ugly, and extremely greasy. When she saw their faces, she wanted to vomit. For her to sleep with them? In their dreams!
When she received Anita’s 500,000 dollars and paid the penalty, she would never have anything to do with them again!
She was too naive to be fooled by their persuasion. She thought they wanted her to star as a female lead in a movie.
Daisy gritted her teeth when she thought about the whole ordeal.
They lied to her about being able to sleep with her boss, and they also made her serve a bunch of people. Did they think her a prostitute?
Fortunately, although she couldn’t pay the penalty, she had a friend who could.
Things weren’t so bad..
