Christy caught a glimpse of the beer handed by Carlos. Right after she took a sip, her phone rang.
The bar was very noisy, so she had to pick the phone up in the restroom.
The call was from Susie Neal. When Christy answered the phone, Susie’s scornful and unpleasant voice came through.
"Christy, now you are grown up and no longer listen to your elders, do you? I have been calling you for a hundred times! Do you still respect me as your aunt? Why is it so noisy there? Where are you messing around again?"
"What’s the matter?" Christy’s voice was very calm. She had been used to her aunt’s sneer.
Ever since Christy’s father Sheldon Lauren’s death, she had lived in her uncle Alberto Lauren’s family.
In the Lauren family, Susie always mocked and bullied her.
As for her uncle Alberto, he, after Christy’s father passed away, had taken over the Lauren Group with the excuse that Christy was underage. Today, the shares of the Lauren Group had been transferred to Alberto’s name.
So Christy had to depend on the Lauren family for living.
She needed their funds to finish her education. Besides, her grandma was still in the sanatorium. The late-period treatment fee required a huge sum of money. She couldn’t leave.
Christy was studying in the Starfield Communication University and she would graduate soon.
After graduation, she could find a job and earn money to pay for the treatment fee of her grandma, rid of the Lauren family completely.
"Christy, what was that tone and attitude? Don’t you forget, you father died early. Your shameless mother ran away with another man. If it were for me and your uncle giving you food to eat, you would have already starved to death on the streets. And your grandma lies in the sanatorium like a living dead. Who is paying the medical fee? And…" Susie began to count and yelled sarcastically again.
Susie had been saying the same words for so many times. Christy was already tired of them, but she never yelled back.
After the hardships for many years, her patience had excelled unexpectedly.
She put the phone away from her ear. She had no mood to listen to Susie’s curses, because she felt dizzy now and her body grew uncomfortable.
This uncomfortable feeling was very strange. It was like being bitten all over by the ants.
When she walked in the restroom, she had already felt something strange about her body. Now this feeling was getting more and more intense.
