"Sister, let's move away from this place!" A thin teenager of about sixteen years old, sitting in a wheelchair, said in a narrow room while looking at Rosa.
Rosa looked at him, stunned. "Did Chappell bully you again?"
The teenager kept quiet. He lowered his head and cautiously hid his hand behind him.
Rosa noticed the action and quickly grabbed his hand.
"Sister..." The teenager frowned as his face turned even paler than before.
Rosa saw the cigarette burn mark on his hand and her face darkened.
"Okay. We're moving away. Right now!"
She knew that Chappell often vented her anger on her brother because she couldn't afford to pay back the money.
"Hey, hey, hey..." Suddenly, a voice filled with disdain came from the doorway.
Rosa and her brother quickly turned to the voice.
"You want to leave? Fine. Give me that 500,000 dollars first!" Chappell snapped as she glared at them.
"500,000 dollars? I only borrowed 100,000!" Rosa was panicking.
"You took a loan and still haven't paid it back for a whole year. Do you think we're some sort of charity?" Chappell scoffed. "If you can't afford the money, then just marry that owner of Starry Bar! He has had an eye for you for a long time anyway."
"How could you say that? That man is already over 60 years old!" The teenager's face turned purple with anger and he started coughing.
Chappell snorted and said, "Shut your mouth, you little weakling! Be careful or you'll cough to death!"
"Chappell, you can say whatever you want about me, but you can't call Cecil a weakling!" Rosa glared at her furiously.
Chappell was startled by her gaze and immediately rolled her eyes in disdain. "What are you glaring at? If it weren't for me, both of you would have been sleeping on the streets!"
"When our parents got into that car accident, you were the one who insisted that we didn't have to bother the other relatives. That's why I brought Cecil here. We even compensated you with a million dollars!" Rosa snapped back as she clenched her fists.
"I thought you didn't show up?" Chappell was a little surprised.
"How I got this money is none of your business. Give me the IOU!"
Chappell chuckled and said, "Hey, why are you acting so lofty? It's not like I don't know what kind of shady act you did." After finishing her sentence, she went into the room and handed her the IOU.
Rosa immediately ripped the IOU into shreds.
"Go! Get the hell out of here. Seeing you two only makes me angry. Now you cleared your debts, but who knows how much money your brother needs in the future..." Chappell tut-tutted at the thought as she rolled her eyes dramatically.
Rosa ignored Chappell and packed up all their belongings into a suitcase.
She would protect her brother even at the cost of her life.
She didn't want him to suffer any longer.
