Chapter 1045

Finally, unable to resist Mavis's pleas, Joyce agreed to join her for a dip in the hot tub.

"This is so relaxing.” Mavis closed her eyes, savoring the moment, "When I make a fortune, I'm definitely bringing my mom here."

Joyce chuckled, "You are a good daughter ."

"But my mom's best friend conned her into being a guarantor for her loan.

She ran off with five hundred thousand dollars, and my mom's factory was taken away to pay off the debt. My mom had to pay back three hundred thousand herself, “You know, when I was ten, three hundred thousand seemed like an astronomical figure. My mom couldn't reach her friend, so she had to work multiple jobs to pay back the debt. It took a toll on her health. That's why I want to become a doctor, to help my mom get better."

Hearing this, Joyce asked softly, "Did you manage to pay off the debt in the end?"

"We paid back a little over a hundred thousand. Her friend was arrested for fraud, and the loan company was exposed for shady dealings. So, the debt was eventually written off. Later, my mom started an online shop, selling clothes she designed. In my free time, I heip her pack orders and model her designs on social media. Last month, I managed to give my mom a hefty bonus from my earnings, and this month, I treated myself to a Louis Vuitton bag."

Her cherished LV bag was left behind in a restroom at Summerfield College when she was held hostage.

She wasn't sure if she'd ever get it back.

“Don't worry, Mya will get it back for us. I left my keychain in the bag."

“By the way, Joyce, what do your parents do?"
