Power of Money novel Chapter 24

"What's wrong with you?" Jason asked in confusion.

"I, I'm fine."

Although Emily said so, her eyes were fixed on the window in the opposite of the road.

At this moment, Sean Chan and Sherry Lin also parted with the young man behind them and left by car.

"Young master, why don't you take a taxi back first? I, I have something else to do. I want to go back later." Emily said with some hesitation.

"Well, go and deal with your business. I will walk back."

Jason nodded and turned to leave.

Until Jason's figure disappeared in sight, Emily bit her lip, stepped through the road, and walked into the residential area.

But Emily didn't know that not long after she got into the corridor, Jason, who should have gone far, turned back and followed her quietly along the stairs where she disappeared.

The houses here looked like the buildings of the last century.

The stairs were narrow and crooked, and there was no light. Jason did not pay attention and almost fell down several times.

However, just as he went to the second floor and hadn't turned out, Emily's voice faintly came into his ears.

"Mom, did those people make trouble for you again? Didn't I call the police last time? How dare they come?"

Emily's voice was as considerate and gentle as ever.

But in contrast, there was another woman's voice which was disharmonious .

"Is it useful to call the police? Now I'm the only one who hasn't moved in the whole building. The developer has stopped our water and electricity, and he has said that if I don't move today, even the sewer will be blocked tomorrow. What's more, he also poured the paint and build the mourning hall at my door. I ask you, do you still want me and your father to live?"

It turned out that the thing mentioned by Simon Lin in DIO Coffee was actually demolition?

But since the whole building had been moved, why did Emily and her family not move? Did they want to be nail households?

Jason walked out of the stairs quietly. He didn't want to disturb Emily, so he stood in the dark corner of the stairs and looked into the window.

There are the shabby doors and windows and old-fashioned furniture. Through the window lattice, one could see a white candle in the mouth of the bottle. The swaying candlelight made the whole house even more dilapidated.

"Is this Emily's home?"

Jason was really surprised.

He knew that Emily came back from studying abroad from the UK. In Jason's opinion, if she could study abroad, especially in a country like the UK and the US, her family conditions should be very good. Otherwise, ordinary families could not afford such expensive tuition fees.

More importantly, the salary of the hospital was fairly good.

Even private attendant like Emily, who hadn't become an official employee yet, had an internship salary of more than 10,000 yuan in the first few months, which didn't include some other benefits.

All kinds of situations were not quite in line with what Jason had seen.

Emily turned her back to Jason, facing a middle-aged woman wearing a large-size T-shirt with a curly-rolled hair.

The middle-aged woman was full of anger. Before Emily opened her mouth, she continued aggressively, "Did you get your salary this month? Can't you tell that your family is in trouble? I don't know what you are busy with every day. If it goes on like this, you don't know when your father and I will die at home one day."

"I just went to work, and I haven't get the first-month salary. Besides, I gave you 5,000 yuan last month. Why did you spend it so quickly?" Emily asked softly.
