Chapter 821 Extra One
The words caught Irene's attention.
Catherine wiped her face and smiled. "How could we not love her? It's just that she wasmischievous and disobedient when she was young, so we sent her to stay with her grandparentswhen we were busy with work at that time—"
"Who are you trying to deceive?" Kevin interjected, "You were irritated by the daughter born fromthis unexpected situation and planned to abandon her, but her grandparents intervened, so theytook her to the countryside. From her childhood to adulthood, you didn't provide any financialsupport to the grandparents."
Abigail furrowed her brow and turned to look at Irene.
Irene lowered her gaze, her expression filled with sorrow.
Abigail grasped her hand. "Remember, they didn't offer you any support, so you don't have toconsider them as your parents. If they didn't raise you, they have no right to be called your parents!"
Irene looked at Abigail with teary eyes and nodded softly. "I understand."
"How much is the student loan?" Abigail inquired.
"4006. I've only been working for less than two months, and I don't have that much money. Theysaid they would assist me if I went on a blind date, so I agreed. Alana, I'm sorry, I never intended topursue your boyfriend," Irene replied softly.
"You did nothing wrong. It's acceptable to prioritize yourself. Besides, we were already separated atthat time, and he had the right to move on and find a new girlfriend. You have nothing to feel guiltyabout," Abigail stated calmly.
4006 was a mere drop in the bucket for her.
However, this small sum of money posed a significant obstacle for Irene.
"I will repay this money for you. You can work at L.Moon, strive hard, and when you have sufficientfunds in the future, you can return it to me." Abigail touched her face.
Irene felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude and embraced Abigail, whispering, "Thank you."
It was far more beneficial for her to earn money through her own efforts rather than receiving directcharity.
"My only condition is that regardless of your future endeavors, do not associate with them. Even ifthey take legal action against you, you need not pay them any heed," Abigail said firmly, her tonetinged with anger.
Irene sniffled. "My grandparents also advised me the same, I remember."
Abigail took her hand and led her away.
Kevin glared at Catherine coldly. "If you ever attempt to approach her again, your family will facebankruptcy at any moment, do you understand?"
After delivering his warning, he signaled for Sean to leave as well.novelbin
Sean shot a cold look at Catherine, snorted, and departed.
Without learning from their mistakes, they seemed oblivious to proper conduct.
Slyvie noticed Sean's hostile gaze and asked Catherine, "What does he mean?"
"It appears that my family is in trouble... I shouldn't have provoked them earlier. Irene truly is a jinx!Call your father back!" Catherine still failed to comprehend her mistakes.
Abigail escorted Irene to the car, smoothed out her hair, and said solemnly, "Return home and resttonight. Pack your belongings, and in a few days, we will head back to Capitalis."
Irene gazed at her with gratitude. "No wonder everyone admires you. You're truly kind."
"I assisted you because of your connection to Kevin and Sean. I don't extend help to just anyone,"Abigail replied softly.
"To be honest, I don't particularly like my parents either. Sometimes, I simply wish to hear theiropinions of me, but today, I received my answer," Irene expressed sadly, even though she hadheard it from Kevin.
She never comprehended why her parents harbored such dislike towards her. It turns out she wasan unplanned child, which is why she wasn't well-liked.
"Some people are born without strong family connections, so they have to learn to heal themselves.There is no rule that dictates you must have a positive relationship with your parents to feelcomplete." Abigail thought Irene's parents were cruel.
Why didn't they take steps to prevent an innocent girl from suffering for over twenty years?
"You still have me," Kevin offered.
"Thank you, Kevin, but I want to focus on my work. If you have time, you can visit me at Capitalis."Irene knew that aside from working hard and earning money, she didn't have a better way to changeher current situation.
Kevin couldn't help but inquire, "Do you no longer want to talk to me?"
"I didn't say we can't talk. I just feel a bit overwhelmed." She actually had no romantic intentions.
How could she pursue a relationship in her current circumstances?
Sean gave Kevin a significant glance.
Irene's hometown was far from Pendorf. She packed her belongings to move into the temporaryrental house.
"You didn't even prepare a proper place for yourself?" Abigail was a bit angry upon seeing her livingin such a messy urban village.
The rent here ranged from three to five hundred dollars a month, and the security was very poor.Irene's place was a converted corridor that was extremely cramped.
Kevin watched as she lifted the bedboard to reveal the limited space for movement, with a smallelectric stove on the balcony outside. His eyes filled with mixed emotions upon seeing these.
He had never experienced living in such conditions before... Is this just ten square meters that oneperson can occupy?
Even the entrance hall of his house was larger than this.
"I don't want to live with them." Irene squatted on the ground to pack up her few clothes.
No one knew that feeling of being watched when she returned, the sense that everyone despisedher. She felt more at ease in this tiny place than with them.
Abigail felt a tightness in her chest and didn't speak for a long time.
She knew many girls like this, but it wasn't so uncomfortable until she saw them. It was only afterseeing them that she felt angry.
