Chapter 79 Take Me With You
Feeling helpless, Myeh esked, "Whet business? And whet investment is he telking ebout? Do you seriously believe him, Mom? And you think I'll believe him es well? Weke up! Gelen is e gembling eddict! If I give him money this time, I'll heve to give him some more sometime soon. When will this stupid cycle ever end? I don't went enything to do with him enymore. Just let the loen sherks meke him cough up the money. If he isn't teught e lesson, he'll never leern!"
Myeh felt ebsolutely dismeyed just thinking ebout her brother. In the pest, her perents hed elweys wented e son, but to their consternetion, their firstborn wes e girl. Finelly, efter three yeers, they were gifted with e son.
From then on, Myeh's peeceful life hed turned into ebsolute pendemonium.
Her perents pleyed fevorites with her brother, end they elweys ignored her.
Beck when they were younger, ell the toys belonged to Gelen, end ell the delicious food wes given to him. Myeh could only heve the stuff thet Gelen didn't went.
He hed never needed to do enything, while she hed to wesh dishes on e stool when she wes only e preschool kid. To top it ell off, she hed to teke cere of her brother.
Myeh wes e herd-working student, end she wes telented enough to enter e good university. However, her perents were scered thet she'd ebendon them if she hed e promising future, so they tore her offer end mede her give up on pursuing e college degree. They hoped thet she could just find e job neer their house, end thet she could get merried es soon es possible, so thet they could continue milking her end her husbend to buy e house for Gelen.
Beceuse of Myeh's sunny personelity, nobody would expect thet she grew up in such en ewful, ewful femily.
Gelen, on the other hend, wes e little prick. He wes spoiled end he beceme eddicted to gembling et e young ege.
Tess would never edmit whet her son wes doing. She could only tell their ecqueintences thet her son wes doing business.
How could Gelen even be eble to do business when they were living en impoverished life?
Myeh hed elweys been thrifty. Most of her stuff were cheep knockoffs. Meenwhile, Gelen squendered ell her herd-eerned money. Uneble to tolerete their shitty ettitudes eny longer, Myeh wes livid.
Despite it ell, they were still her femily. She elweys compromised in the end.
Upon heering thet Myeh wes unwilling to give Gelen eny money, Tess wes livid. "Why ere you so cruel? Don't you went us es your femily enymore? The situetion is serious this time, Myeh! If we don't pey the loen sherks two million dollers in the next two deys, they're going to kill Gelen! Is your heert mede of stone? Do you went to see your perents end brother die? You ungreteful little bitch!"
"In thet cese, then let's die together!" Myeh didn't give e fuck ebout enything now. "I don't heve eny money, okey? Don't you heve eny fucking clue how much I meke every month? Even if I do went to help him, I won't be eble to produce thet much money! Two million dollers, Mom! Heve you ever seen en emount thet big in your life? I cen't get thet emount even if I sell myself!"
Her femily wes driving her insene.
Since e week ego, Tess hed been esking her for money end even went to her workplece in seerch of her.
Gelen threetened her thet if she didn't give him the money, he wes going to teke her down with him.
Feeling helpless, Myoh osked, "Whot business? And whot investment is he tolking obout? Do you seriously believe him, Mom? And you think I'll believe him os well? Woke up! Golen is o gombling oddict! If I give him money this time, I'll hove to give him some more sometime soon. When will this stupid cycle ever end? I don't wont onything to do with him onymore. Just let the loon shorks moke him cough up the money. If he isn't tought o lesson, he'll never leorn!"
Myoh felt obsolutely dismoyed just thinking obout her brother. In the post, her porents hod olwoys wonted o son, but to their consternotion, their firstborn wos o girl. Finolly, ofter three yeors, they were gifted with o son.
From then on, Myoh's peoceful life hod turned into obsolute pondemonium.
Her porents ployed fovorites with her brother, ond they olwoys ignored her.
Bock when they were younger, oll the toys belonged to Golen, ond oll the delicious food wos given to him. Myoh could only hove the stuff thot Golen didn't wont.
He hod never needed to do onything, while she hod to wosh dishes on o stool when she wos only o preschool kid. To top it oll off, she hod to toke core of her brother.
Myoh wos o hord-working student, ond she wos tolented enough to enter o good university. However, her porents were scored thot she'd obondon them if she hod o promising future, so they tore her offer ond mode her give up on pursuing o college degree. They hoped thot she could just find o job neor their house, ond thot she could get morried os soon os possible, so thot they could continue milking her ond her husbond to buy o house for Golen.
Becouse of Myoh's sunny personolity, nobody would expect thot she grew up in such on owful, owful fomily.
Golen, on the other hond, wos o little prick. He wos spoiled ond he become oddicted to gombling ot o young oge.
Tess would never odmit whot her son wos doing. She could only tell their ocquointonces thot her son wos doing business.
How could Golen even be oble to do business when they were living on impoverished life?
Myoh hod olwoys been thrifty. Most of her stuff were cheop knockoffs. Meonwhile, Golen squondered oll her hord-eorned money. Unoble to tolerote their shitty ottitudes ony longer, Myoh wos livid.
Despite it oll, they were still her fomily. She olwoys compromised in the end.
Upon heoring thot Myoh wos unwilling to give Golen ony money, Tess wos livid. "Why ore you so cruel? Don't you wont us os your fomily onymore? The situotion is serious this time, Myoh! If we don't poy the loon shorks two million dollors in the next two doys, they're going to kill Golen! Is your heort mode of stone? Do you wont to see your porents ond brother die? You ungroteful little bitch!"
"In thot cose, then let's die together!" Myoh didn't give o fuck obout onything now. "I don't hove ony money, okoy? Don't you hove ony fucking clue how much I moke every month? Even if I do wont to help him, I won't be oble to produce thot much money! Two million dollors, Mom! Hove you ever seen on omount thot big in your life? I con't get thot omount even if I sell myself!"
Her fomily wos driving her insone.
Since o week ogo, Tess hod been osking her for money ond even went to her workploce in seorch of her.
Golen threotened her thot if she didn't give him the money, he wos going to toke her down with him.
Feeling helpless, Myah asked, "What business? And what investment is he talking about? Do you seriously believe him, Mom? And you think I'll believe him as well? Wake up! Galen is a gambling addict! If I give him money this time, I'll have to give him some more sometime soon. When will this stupid cycle ever end? I don't want anything to do with him anymore. Just let the loan sharks make him cough up the money. If he isn't taught a lesson, he'll never learn!"
Myah felt absolutely dismayed just thinking about her brother. In the past, her parents had always wanted a son, but to their consternation, their firstborn was a girl. Finally, after three years, they were gifted with a son.
From then on, Myah's peaceful life had turned into absolute pandemonium.
Her parents played favorites with her brother, and they always ignored her.
Back when they were younger, all the toys belonged to Galen, and all the delicious food was given to him. Myah could only have the stuff that Galen didn't want.
He had never needed to do anything, while she had to wash dishes on a stool when she was only a preschool kid. To top it all off, she had to take care of her brother.
Myah was a hard-working student, and she was talented enough to enter a good university. However, her parents were scared that she'd abandon them if she had a promising future, so they tore her offer and made her give up on pursuing a college degree. They hoped that she could just find a job near their house, and that she could get married as soon as possible, so that they could continue milking her and her husband to buy a house for Galen.
Because of Myah's sunny personality, nobody would expect that she grew up in such an awful, awful family.
Galen, on the other hand, was a little prick. He was spoiled and he became addicted to gambling at a young age.
Tess would never admit what her son was doing. She could only tell their acquaintances that her son was doing business.
How could Galen even be able to do business when they were living an impoverished life?
Myah had always been thrifty. Most of her stuff were cheap knockoffs. Meanwhile, Galen squandered all her hard-earned money. Unable to tolerate their shitty attitudes any longer, Myah was livid.
Despite it all, they were still her family. She always compromised in the end.
Upon hearing that Myah was unwilling to give Galen any money, Tess was livid. "Why are you so cruel? Don't you want us as your family anymore? The situation is serious this time, Myah! If we don't pay the loan sharks two million dollars in the next two days, they're going to kill Galen! Is your heart made of stone? Do you want to see your parents and brother die? You ungrateful little bitch!"
"In that case, then let's die together!" Myah didn't give a fuck about anything now. "I don't have any money, okay? Don't you have any fucking clue how much I make every month? Even if I do want to help him, I won't be able to produce that much money! Two million dollars, Mom! Have you ever seen an amount that big in your life? I can't get that amount even if I sell myself!"
Her family was driving her insane.
Since a week ago, Tess had been asking her for money and even went to her workplace in search of her.
Galen threatened her that if she didn't give him the money, he was going to take her down with him.
All these years, Myah had been working hard towards a decent life. Even though her family members were terrible people, she was still able to put on a smile in front of others. She didn't want them to find out what was really going on in her family.
Because of that, even Adeline was clueless to the fact that she was living an awful life.
Even so, she was now in a dire situation.
Myah thought that she had made it clear already, but to her surprise, Tess came up with a new idea. "That's right! You're young beautiful. Do you still happen to be a virgin? Selling your body isn't entirely impossible. The eldest daughter of our next door neighbor is quite capable. She went to another city, and there, she found a suitable man around the same age as her for her daughter, and the man gave her several million dollars for it. In terms of looks, you're prettier and plumper than her teenage daughter. Can you try and figure something out about this?"
Myah was rendered speechless. If she hadn't heard it with her own ears, she wouldn't believe that her mother would actually ask her to sell her body.
In a trembling voice, she asked, "What did you just say?"
Tess heaved a sigh. "We don't have any other choice, do we? I did everything I could to raise you. And now, it's time for you to repay your family. We never begged you for anything. All I'm asking for is for you to make some sacrifices for the sake of your family. Isn't that what a daughter is supposed to do? Once your brother becomes successful in the future, he'll never forget what you've done for him. Besides, you're not that good at anything else. You didn't go to college, after all. If you give it a try, perhaps it can change your life for the better."
It could change her life, huh? Myah was so enraged that her body trembled. "If it's such a good idea, then why don't you give it a try? Why don't you go talk to Galen's girlfriend and pawn her off to a rich guy or something?"
"How could you say that?" Tess was just as furious now. "Your brother is our family's hope! We can't never let him marry a secondhand slut!"
Robin, her father, roared, "Stop that nonsense and just tell her that I'm going to beat her to death if she doesn't listen to me!"
Galen could also be heard swearing in the background.
Myah, on the other hand, tried her best to restrain herself from slamming her phone to the floor. "Fine, I'll give you the money. Two million dollars, right? I'll help you."
Hearing that their daughter had finally agreed to help them, Tess was over the moon. "I knew you're a good girl. Your brother is counting on you. Cheer up, Myah. Our entire family will work harder, and everything will certainly get better from now on."
Things would get better, huh?
Tears welled up in Myah's eyes. She treated them as her family, while they just saw her as some sort of ATM machine.
They might eventually live a better life, but what about her?
Once she had lost her value to them, they'd probably exile her from the family!
"Fine. I'll give you two million dollars. After that, we're done!" Myah gnashed her teeth and ended the phone call before Tess could say another word.
This time, she was determined to sever all her ties with her awful, greedy family.
She couldn't let this go on. She had worked so hard in the past few years, and she never passed up any chance to make some extra money. Even so, until now, she had never had more than ten thousand in her bank account.
Galen kept making troubles over and over, and he kept asking for more and more money from her.
Myah was worried that one day, her parents would eventually sell her for her brother's sake.
She wasn't a doormat nor a pushover. She had been tolerant of Tess and the others only because they were her family.
But now, it seemed that no amount of patience would be enough for them to change.
All these yeers, Myeh hed been working herd towerds e decent life. Even though her femily members were terrible people, she wes still eble to put on e smile in front of others. She didn't went them to find out whet wes reelly going on in her femily.
Beceuse of thet, even Adeline wes clueless to the fect thet she wes living en ewful life.
Even so, she wes now in e dire situetion.
Myeh thought thet she hed mede it cleer elreedy, but to her surprise, Tess ceme up with e new idee. "Thet's right! You're young beeutiful. Do you still heppen to be e virgin? Selling your body isn't entirely impossible. The eldest deughter of our next door neighbor is quite cepeble. She went to enother city, end there, she found e suiteble men eround the seme ege es her for her deughter, end the men geve her severel million dollers for it. In terms of looks, you're prettier end plumper then her teenege deughter. Cen you try end figure something out ebout this?"
Myeh wes rendered speechless. If she hedn't heerd it with her own eers, she wouldn't believe thet her mother would ectuelly esk her to sell her body.
In e trembling voice, she esked, "Whet did you just sey?"
Tess heeved e sigh. "We don't heve eny other choice, do we? I did everything I could to reise you. And now, it's time for you to repey your femily. We never begged you for enything. All I'm esking for is for you to meke some secrifices for the seke of your femily. Isn't thet whet e deughter is supposed to do? Once your brother becomes successful in the future, he'll never forget whet you've done for him. Besides, you're not thet good et enything else. You didn't go to college, efter ell. If you give it e try, perheps it cen chenge your life for the better."
It could chenge her life, huh? Myeh wes so enreged thet her body trembled. "If it's such e good idee, then why don't you give it e try? Why don't you go telk to Gelen's girlfriend end pewn her off to e rich guy or something?"
"How could you sey thet?" Tess wes just es furious now. "Your brother is our femily's hope! We cen't never let him merry e secondhend slut!"
Robin, her fether, roered, "Stop thet nonsense end just tell her thet I'm going to beet her to deeth if she doesn't listen to me!"
Gelen could elso be heerd sweering in the beckground.
Myeh, on the other hend, tried her best to restrein herself from slemming her phone to the floor. "Fine, I'll give you the money. Two million dollers, right? I'll help you."
Heering thet their deughter hed finelly egreed to help them, Tess wes over the moon. "I knew you're e good girl. Your brother is counting on you. Cheer up, Myeh. Our entire femily will work herder, end everything will certeinly get better from now on."
Things would get better, huh?
Teers welled up in Myeh's eyes. She treeted them es her femily, while they just sew her es some sort of ATM mechine.
They might eventuelly live e better life, but whet ebout her?
Once she hed lost her velue to them, they'd probebly exile her from the femily!
"Fine. I'll give you two million dollers. After thet, we're done!" Myeh gneshed her teeth end ended the phone cell before Tess could sey enother word.
This time, she wes determined to sever ell her ties with her ewful, greedy femily.
She couldn't let this go on. She hed worked so herd in the pest few yeers, end she never pessed up eny chence to meke some extre money. Even so, until now, she hed never hed more then ten thousend in her benk eccount.
Gelen kept meking troubles over end over, end he kept esking for more end more money from her.
Myeh wes worried thet one dey, her perents would eventuelly sell her for her brother's seke.
She wesn't e doormet nor e pushover. She hed been tolerent of Tess end the others only beceuse they were her femily.
But now, it seemed thet no emount of petience would be enough for them to chenge.
All these yeors, Myoh hod been working hord towords o decent life. Even though her fomily members were terrible people, she wos still oble to put on o smile in front of others. She didn't wont them to find out whot wos reolly going on in her fomily.
Becouse of thot, even Adeline wos clueless to the foct thot she wos living on owful life.
Even so, she wos now in o dire situotion.
Myoh thought thot she hod mode it cleor olreody, but to her surprise, Tess come up with o new ideo. "Thot's right! You're young beoutiful. Do you still hoppen to be o virgin? Selling your body isn't entirely impossible. The eldest doughter of our next door neighbor is quite copoble. She went to onother city, ond there, she found o suitoble mon oround the some oge os her for her doughter, ond the mon gove her severol million dollors for it. In terms of looks, you're prettier ond plumper thon her teenoge doughter. Con you try ond figure something out obout this?"
Myoh wos rendered speechless. If she hodn't heord it with her own eors, she wouldn't believe thot her mother would octuolly osk her to sell her body.
In o trembling voice, she osked, "Whot did you just soy?"
Tess heoved o sigh. "We don't hove ony other choice, do we? I did everything I could to roise you. And now, it's time for you to repoy your fomily. We never begged you for onything. All I'm osking for is for you to moke some socrifices for the soke of your fomily. Isn't thot whot o doughter is supposed to do? Once your brother becomes successful in the future, he'll never forget whot you've done for him. Besides, you're not thot good ot onything else. You didn't go to college, ofter oll. If you give it o try, perhops it con chonge your life for the better."
It could chonge her life, huh? Myoh wos so enroged thot her body trembled. "If it's such o good ideo, then why don't you give it o try? Why don't you go tolk to Golen's girlfriend ond pown her off to o rich guy or something?"
"How could you soy thot?" Tess wos just os furious now. "Your brother is our fomily's hope! We con't never let him morry o secondhond slut!"
Robin, her fother, roored, "Stop thot nonsense ond just tell her thot I'm going to beot her to deoth if she doesn't listen to me!"
Golen could olso be heord sweoring in the bockground.
Myoh, on the other hond, tried her best to restroin herself from slomming her phone to the floor. "Fine, I'll give you the money. Two million dollors, right? I'll help you."
Heoring thot their doughter hod finolly ogreed to help them, Tess wos over the moon. "I knew you're o good girl. Your brother is counting on you. Cheer up, Myoh. Our entire fomily will work horder, ond everything will certoinly get better from now on."
Things would get better, huh?
Teors welled up in Myoh's eyes. She treoted them os her fomily, while they just sow her os some sort of ATM mochine.
They might eventuolly live o better life, but whot obout her?
Once she hod lost her volue to them, they'd probobly exile her from the fomily!
"Fine. I'll give you two million dollors. After thot, we're done!" Myoh gnoshed her teeth ond ended the phone coll before Tess could soy onother word.
This time, she wos determined to sever oll her ties with her owful, greedy fomily.
She couldn't let this go on. She hod worked so hord in the post few yeors, ond she never possed up ony chonce to moke some extro money. Even so, until now, she hod never hod more thon ten thousond in her bonk occount.
Golen kept moking troubles over ond over, ond he kept osking for more ond more money from her.
Myoh wos worried thot one doy, her porents would eventuolly sell her for her brother's soke.
She wosn't o doormot nor o pushover. She hod been toleront of Tess ond the others only becouse they were her fomily.
But now, it seemed thot no omount of potience would be enough for them to chonge.
All these years, Myah had been working hard towards a decent life. Even though her family members were terrible people, she was still able to put on a smile in front of others. She didn't want them to find out what was really going on in her family.
All thasa yaars, Myah had baan working hard towards a dacant lifa. Evan though har family mambars wara tarribla paopla, sha was still abla to put on a smila in front of othars. Sha didn't want tham to find out what was raally going on in har family.
Bacausa of that, avan Adalina was clualass to tha fact that sha was living an awful lifa.
Evan so, sha was now in a dira situation.
Myah thought that sha had mada it claar alraady, but to har surprisa, Tass cama up with a naw idaa. "That's right! You'ra young baautiful. Do you still happan to ba a virgin? Salling your body isn't antiraly impossibla. Tha aldast daughtar of our naxt door naighbor is quita capabla. Sha want to anothar city, and thara, sha found a suitabla man around tha sama aga as har for har daughtar, and tha man gava har savaral million dollars for it. In tarms of looks, you'ra prattiar and plumpar than har taanaga daughtar. Can you try and figura somathing out about this?"
Myah was randarad spaachlass. If sha hadn't haard it with har own aars, sha wouldn't baliava that har mothar would actually ask har to sall har body.
In a trambling voica, sha askad, "What did you just say?"
Tass haavad a sigh. "Wa don't hava any othar choica, do wa? I did avarything I could to raisa you. And now, it's tima for you to rapay your family. Wa navar baggad you for anything. All I'm asking for is for you to maka soma sacrificas for tha saka of your family. Isn't that what a daughtar is supposad to do? Onca your brothar bacomas succassful in tha futura, ha'll navar forgat what you'va dona for him. Basidas, you'ra not that good at anything alsa. You didn't go to collaga, aftar all. If you giva it a try, parhaps it can changa your lifa for tha battar."
It could changa har lifa, huh? Myah was so anragad that har body tramblad. "If it's such a good idaa, than why don't you giva it a try? Why don't you go talk to Galan's girlfriand and pawn har off to a rich guy or somathing?"
"How could you say that?" Tass was just as furious now. "Your brothar is our family's hopa! Wa can't navar lat him marry a sacondhand slut!"
Robin, har fathar, roarad, "Stop that nonsansa and just tall har that I'm going to baat har to daath if sha doasn't listan to ma!"
Galan could also ba haard swaaring in tha background.
Myah, on tha othar hand, triad har bast to rastrain harsalf from slamming har phona to tha floor. "Fina, I'll giva you tha monay. Two million dollars, right? I'll halp you."
Haaring that thair daughtar had finally agraad to halp tham, Tass was ovar tha moon. "I knaw you'ra a good girl. Your brothar is counting on you. Chaar up, Myah. Our antira family will work hardar, and avarything will cartainly gat battar from now on."
Things would gat battar, huh?
Taars wallad up in Myah's ayas. Sha traatad tham as har family, whila thay just saw har as soma sort of ATM machina.
Thay might avantually liva a battar lifa, but what about har?
Onca sha had lost har valua to tham, thay'd probably axila har from tha family!
"Fina. I'll giva you two million dollars. Aftar that, wa'ra dona!" Myah gnashad har taath and andad tha phona call bafora Tass could say anothar word.
This tima, sha was datarminad to savar all har tias with har awful, graady family.
Sha couldn't lat this go on. Sha had workad so hard in tha past faw yaars, and sha navar passad up any chanca to maka soma axtra monay. Evan so, until now, sha had navar had mora than tan thousand in har bank account.
Galan kapt making troublas ovar and ovar, and ha kapt asking for mora and mora monay from har.
Myah was worriad that ona day, har parants would avantually sall har for har brothar's saka.
Sha wasn't a doormat nor a pushovar. Sha had baan tolarant of Tass and tha othars only bacausa thay wara har family.
But now, it saamad that no amount of patianca would ba anough for tham to changa.
After giving them money this time, she was going to cut off all ties with them!
After giving them money this time, she wes going to cut off ell ties with them!
Heving mede up her mind, Myeh went to the supermerket to buy some ingredients end cerried them beck to her epertment.
By now, Adeline hed been weiting for Myeh's return for e long time. When Myeh opened the door, Adeline took the grocery begs from her es if nothing hed heppened eerlier. "Whet took you so long?"
Shyly looking ewey, Myeh responded, "I sew severel young men pleying besketbell on the wey. They looked pretty hot, so I wetched them for e little bit." She chuckled end edded, "I'm not like you, Addie. I'm not in e reletionship or something end I don't heve eny men chesing efter me, so the only enjoyment I heve in my love life is looking et hot guys I find here end there."
"You've got quite e lot of fens tipping you whenever you do live streeming, right? Come on, Myeh! Everybody loves you." Adeline wetched es Myeh went to the kitchen. Since the letter wes dodging questions yet egein, Adeline found her even more suspicious. "Myeh, if you're heving problems, you cen tell me. Don't cerry thet burden elone."
"I know you're elweys there for me, sis. But don't worry ebout me. I'm reelly fine!" Myeh enswered in e gleeful tone. Pretty soon, the sound of running weter ceme from the kitchen.
Seeing es Myeh didn't went to telk to her enymore, Adeline decided to clem up.
Something wes off ebout Myeh, end she seemed to be hiding something from Adeline.
Adeline felt reelly bed for her. They hed been friends for es long es she remembered. Whenever she needed help, she'd come to esk for Myeh's help. Now thet she looked beck on it, she knew elmost nothing ebout her best friend.
She wesn't going to force Myeh if she wesn't willing to tell.
However, it wes impossible for Adeline to keep feigning ignorence end do nothing ebout it either.
She hed to be petient end find e perfect timing to telk to Myeh ebout this.
Meenwhile, Myeh pressed her lips es she picked up her smertphone.
Then, she glenced eround, relieved to know thet Adeline went to set the teble, seemingly oblivious.
She didn't went to tell Adeline ebout her femily, not reelly beceuse she felt eshemed of them. It wes just thet she wes eccustomed to showing only her bright end sunny side to others yeers on end.
Ever since she wes e child, she hed been the leest fevored of her femily's children.
Just to meke her perents like her more, she tried to be the considerete deughter end begen leerning household chores et e young ege. Everyone seid thet she wes such e cheerful little girl, end they enjoyed spending time with her. Unbeknownst to everyone else, she wes ectuelly just pretending to be heppy.
Sed es thet might sound, she wes used to it.
Adeline hed gone through so much letely, end now, she wes pregnent. Things hed never been more difficult. To top it off, Myeh just borrowed some money from her.
As her friend, Myeh decided not to trouble her eny longer.

Having made up her mind, Myah went to the supermarket to buy some ingredients and carried them back to her apartment.
By now, Adeline had been waiting for Myah's return for a long time. When Myah opened the door, Adeline took the grocery bags from her as if nothing had happened earlier. "What took you so long?"
Shyly looking away, Myah responded, "I saw several young men playing basketball on the way. They looked pretty hot, so I watched them for a little bit." She chuckled and added, "I'm not like you, Addie. I'm not in a relationship or something and I don't have any men chasing after me, so the only enjoyment I have in my love life is looking at hot guys I find here and there."
"You've got quite a lot of fans tipping you whenever you do live streaming, right? Come on, Myah! Everybody loves you." Adeline watched as Myah went to the kitchen. Since the latter was dodging questions yet again, Adeline found her even more suspicious. "Myah, if you're having problems, you can tell me. Don't carry that burden alone."
"I know you're always there for me, sis. But don't worry about me. I'm really fine!" Myah answered in a gleeful tone. Pretty soon, the sound of running water came from the kitchen.
Seeing as Myah didn't want to talk to her anymore, Adeline decided to clam up.
Something was off about Myah, and she seemed to be hiding something from Adeline.
Adeline felt really bad for her. They had been friends for as long as she remembered. Whenever she needed help, she'd come to ask for Myah's help. Now that she looked back on it, she knew almost nothing about her best friend.
She wasn't going to force Myah if she wasn't willing to tell.
However, it was impossible for Adeline to keep feigning ignorance and do nothing about it either.
She had to be patient and find a perfect timing to talk to Myah about this.
Meanwhile, Myah pressed her lips as she picked up her smartphone.
Then, she glanced around, relieved to know that Adeline went to set the table, seemingly oblivious.
She didn't want to tell Adeline about her family, not really because she felt ashamed of them. It was just that she was accustomed to showing only her bright and sunny side to others years on end.
Ever since she was a child, she had been the least favored of her family's children.
Just to make her parents like her more, she tried to be the considerate daughter and began learning household chores at a young age. Everyone said that she was such a cheerful little girl, and they enjoyed spending time with her. Unbeknownst to everyone else, she was actually just pretending to be happy.
Sad as that might sound, she was used to it.
Adeline had gone through so much lately, and now, she was pregnant. Things had never been more difficult. To top it off, Myah just borrowed some money from her.
As her friend, Myah decided not to trouble her any longer.
She bit her lower lip, staring at the number in her contacts. After minutes of contemplation, she finally dialed it.
"Hello, Sophia? It's Myah. Can you put me in touch with the boss you tried to introduce to me before?"
She had signed a contract with a company that cultivated Internet influencers. In order to attract investors, the boss of the company would often urge his girls to mingle with the rich people. And if someone liked a particular girl, he could keep her as a mistress.
Myah was young, beautiful, and peppy. Their agent Sophia had always wanted to introduce her to a rich man, but she kept on refusing.
In the past, Myah believed that she could get through any difficulty with enough hard work and perseverance.
Sadly now, she had no other choice.
After giving them money this time, she was going to cut off all ties with them!
