Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 2582

Kingston laughed a little awkwardly. "How... how did our topic...get to this point where money is involved?"

He had a kind of illusion for a moment. Could the girl in front of his eyes be a professional scammer and an expert at that? All the things that she told him with such deep feelings while crying inconsolably were actually just a story. It was just for the sake of tricking him into pitying her, trusting her, and protecting her. Could it be that she was trying to cheat him out of his money in the end?

Therefore, when she said that she would not borrow money from him, she was actually just playing hard to get.

Thinking of that, Kingston could not help but laugh. In that day in age, scammers truly were appearing everywhere continuously without any end. There were all kinds of them and they had all kinds of tricks. If that girl in front of him was truly like that, then would Kingston not have been like the pig that was being led to the slaughter?

'Haha! That's interesting.'

Just a moment of awkwardness later, Kingston returned to being calm as he looked at Eevonne. He wanted to see what kind of tricks the girl would use next.

Eevone smiled sadly. "I quit my job so abruptly. In fact, I was instantly kicked out of the company where I had worked for three years in an incredibly wretched manner. At that time, I only had around four hundred dollars left to my name, which was only enough for me to spend half a month at best. I still had to take the bus every day to submit my resume and search for a new job. I had to spend tens of dollars every day searching for a job. My paycheck that month still had to be sent to my money for her treatment. You may tell me that since I had already lost my job, my final payment shouldn't be sent home anymore. However, you have no idea what my family's situation was, Kingston. My father is an honest and simple man. Not only is he honest, but he is not a hardworking man as well. It is no wonder why my mother and her family looked down on people like my grandma and my father. My grandma is lazy. My father has never succeeded in doing anything. He tried to start a small business, but he suffered losses eight out of ten times. Once he lost money, my father would be thinking from whom he could borrow some money. When he had no one else to borrow money from anymore, he would shamelessly borrow money from my maternal grandmother and my mother's brother and sisters. He kept thinking that my mother's family should be helping him. My family was poor, to begin with. On top of that, my mother was sick. If I didn't send some money to let my mother get her treatment, firstly, my mother wouldn’t be healed, secondly, I also truly didn't want to be disgraced in my maternal grandmother, uncle, and aunts’ eyes.”

She sighed. "I had been kicked out of the company, but I didn't dare to tell my family. I still sent money home as usual. Also, I had no way to secure a job for six months during that time. During those six months, I borrowed money from all of the only few friends and former colleagues I had. I had borrowed about five hundred dollars and I had also borrowed more than a thousand dollars. It wasn’t that much in total. It was just about four thousand dollars. However, that could not sustain the salary that I sent to my mother every month. Later, I began taking out a cash advance on your credit card. The total amount that I had taken was six thousand dollars."
