Seeing Harold in such a miserable state, Hannah could not help but shed tears and said, "Harold, I'm sorry but my hands are tied. We have nothing edible a t home and Donald's men have taken everything that we can trade for money. Where can I find you something to eat..." 2
Wendy cried, "Mom, why don't I go find a job tomorrow?"
Hannah nodded and said, "Good idea, but you can only look for a job tomorrow, and wait for the following month for the paycheck. It's almost New Year's Eve; w e can't possibly celebrate New Year on an empty stomach...”
At this time, Lady Wilson suggested, "That won’t do. Just look for a job that pays on an hourly or daily basis!” 1
Wendy said, "Seems like that's the only way..."
Meanwhile, on the third floor, Jennifer was having a meeting with Yara and Yulia too. They were facing the same situation as the Wilson family - they had no money.
So, Jennifer said to the other two, "It's a blessing that we get to live in such a big and luxurious villa, but we still need to figure out ourselves to settle the meal issues.”
Yulia hurriedly said, "Sis Jennifer, what do you think we should do? The New Year is just two days away, so we have to make some preparations. If we can't afford a lavish meal, we should at least make some dumplings, right?”
Jennifer said, “Easy. I know a few cleaning companies that provide door-to-door cleaning services. We can make at least twenty bucks an hour per person, and if the three of us work eight hours a day, we would have a total of about five hundred bucks. Moreover, it's the end of the year now, where the service cost is on the rise. We can earn a lot too by working at the bathhouse, to provide massage service. As long as we uphold perseverance and work hard, the earned money will definitely be enough for us to survive." 2
Yulia immediately said, "No problem! Although I didn’t attend school, I have the strength to work hard labor!"
Yulia nodded too. “Sis Jennifer, we'll follow your arrangement then!"
Jennifer nodded with a hum and said, "Let's go to bed early tonight. We'll go out to find a job in the morning!" 2 ***
It was another kind of ambiance in villa A05 next door.
Charlie was dumbfounded. Cecilia Lawrence? That was his aunt, Carmen, wasn't it? 1
Elaine said with a smug look, "I thought I must be really lucky this time! After being retaliated deliberately by that fraudster Cecilia, not only did she not manage to harm me but I also had a freaking fight with her!" "Not just that, I beat the hell out of her! How awesome i s that?" 3
At this point, Elaine said in a placid manner, "Now that Cecilia has been arrested, I don’t have to worry about anyone retaliating against me anymore.
Shouldn't I feel good about it?" 2
Claire, who was standing aside in bewilderment, asked, "Mom, who is this Cecilia Lawrence? Is she a member of a pyramid scheme?"
Realizing that she had almost let the cat out of the dog, Elaine quickly nodded, "Yes, that’s right! Cecilia is the boss of that pyramid scheme! She is a vicious son 0 f a b*tch!"
