Chapter 26
Harold was certain that by doing so, Rena would soon come crawling back to him to beg for mercy!
When the court officials went to seize the house, Eloise was so angry that she passed out and was sent to the hospital. When she woke up, she was still boiling with anger and went straight to Harold’s company to make a scene.
But Harold wasn’t the same man he used to be. Even after Eloise made a scene at the lobby, Harold refused to see her. The -receptionist even threatened to call the police.
Dejected, Eloise let Rena take her back to the hospital.
Lying in bed, Eloise sighed worriedly. “It doesn’t matter if we have no place to live, but it’s your father’s case that I’m worried about. Although Mr. Larson offered to help us, it wouldn’t be right not to pay him!”
Rena comforted her softly, “Don’t worry. I’ll find a way to get the money.”
Eloise looked at her stepdaughter with pity. After a while, she made up her mind and gave a bank card to Rena—a bank card that contained over a million dollars.
Rena knew that it was Eloise’s retirement savings.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
She held the card in her hand and burst into tears. “I’ll take it, but just for now. I swear we’ll find the money—’”
Eloise interrupted her and said, “I have a small apartment in the suburb. Although it’s old and small, I can live there for now. Just focus on winning your father’s case, okay?”
Rena nodded tearfully.
When Eloise was discharged from the hospital, Rena took her to the apartment she rented after they lost their house.
It was a 60—Square—meter two—bedroom unit that was located in an old, dilapidated apartment complex. The decoration was simple and shabby, a stark contrast to their former comfortable residence.
Eloise looked around and settled down on the lumpy sofa.
Rena felt bad for her stepmother, so she asked Vera to help her find some part—time jobs.
Vera protested at first. “You already work overtime at your job. You’ll burn out if you take on more!”
Rena insisted stubbornly. “I’ll be fine.”
Vera figured that Rena was short of money, so she ended up agreeing to help her find some part time work. In addition, she lent all the money she had saved to her friend.
Rena was very grateful to her.
It didn’t take long before she found a job as a part-timer in a restaurant. Although she was exhausted every day, she was content knowing that she was earning more money now.

Fortunately for her, she was pretty and played the piano well, so the manager was willing to hire her on the spot.
One day, Rena saw Waylen at the restaurant she worked.
And he wasn’t alone. He was having dinner with a charming woman. The woman seemed to be his business partner, but judging from the way they acted, they looked a little intimate.
Rena wasn’t surprised. An excellent man like Waylen always had a ton of women swooning over him.
And she was keenly aware that the gap between her and Waylen’s status was too big, so she didn’t disturb him. When she ran into him on the way to the washroom, she just nodded and greeted him politely, “Mr. Fowler.”
