"Why are you angry? Lila, I'm aware that our family isn't rich nor powerful. Is that why you look down upon us?" Eva asked loudly over the phone.
She spoke in a blunt and impolite manner.
"I just want you to leave me alone," Lila replied, holding back her anger.
In all honesty, she'd rather not admit that these people were her family, but they were all she had.
She had lived under the White family's protection for over two decades, so she didn't have much social experience. Sadly, her ties to the White family as their daughter were now gone. Though it pained her to admit this, she didn't have the courage to live all alone. At the very least, she hated the very idea of feeling alone. That was why she didn't cut ties with the Gillians even though she really hated them.
"Don't you know who gave you all these? If I hadn't replaced the White family's daughter with you back in the hospital, you wouldn't have lived such a wealthy life for decades!" Eva cursed. "If it weren't for me, none of that would've happened!"
Her words served to infuriate Lila. She immediately ended the phone call and exclaimed, "What a crazy bitch!"
The phone call completely ruined her good mood.
After getting out of the bath tub, Lila lay on the bed, uncertain of what to do next.
She couldn't live like this forever. The White family had indeed given her lots of money, but no matter how much money she had, she'd use them all up someday. It was clear to her that with her current lifestyle, she'd burn through all her money up sooner or later.
"I have to find a job." She got up from the bed, determined to go through with her decision.
Truthfully, she didn't like to work, but she couldn't just sit there and do nothing.
Without the White family's support, she had neither background nor resources. She thought about her situation carefully. She was already in her twenties, but she didn't have any savings to support herself and she didn't even have something she could call her strength.
Even when she was in the White Group before, she seldom did any real job. All she did was chat with the other employees or play video games inside her office. Because she was the daughter of the White family, nobody was bold enough to speak ill of her.
But now, she had lost her identity as the White family's daughter. Nobody would even want her for an interview. Aside from that, the Whites bought her diploma for her because she didn't study one day back when she was in college.
The more she thought about her situation, the more it annoyed her. Thereafter, she rolled on the bed and sighed.
