Marie was filled with resentment as she saw him hold up the ten dollars.
“You don’t want it? I’ll take it back then.” Jean saw that she did not move and was about to take back the money until she swiftly snatched it from him.
Jean smiled contemptuously.
“It’s not enough,” said Marie as she held out her hand.
“If ten dollars is not enough, how much do you want?” Jean frowned and was obviously unwilling to give her too much.
“Even if you’re covering the costs of my stay, what about my food and daily transportation expenses? You can’t leave me empty-handed. Even if I were to stay at home, I’d need money to order takeout too,” said Marie.
“How troublesome.” Jean took out his wallet and handed her a public transport card.
“This is…” Marie looked at the public transport card and frowned as the card could only be used for rides and not for consumption. Plus, who even took public transport nowadays?
“There are ten dollars on the card. You can take the subway when you go out. It’ll last you a few months,” Jean said lazily.
Marie looked at his gracious expression as he handed her the public transport card with ten dollars in it. That was it?
“My friends don’t even take the subway anymore, and now you’re making me take the subway? You have so much money in your hand. Can’t you give me some? It’s not like we eat together every day,” she said with dissatisfaction.
“You don’t want this?” Jean got a little impatient listening to her babble on.
If she had not gotten so much money, he would have thrown her out long ago.
After hearing that, Marie took the public transport card without hesitation as she still had to get around. Although she could not get a taxi, she could not walk everywhere either, right?
Jean looked at her and smiled scornfully, expressing his disdain toward her.
“Here’s another 50 dollars. It’ll cover your food costs for a week. If you don’t treat others, it might even last you two weeks.” He drew out 50 dollars worth of bills and placed them on the coffee table. Then, he stood up and stretched.
Marie stared at his back as he walked into the room. Her gaze was as sharp as knives as she stabbed the man in front of her a thousand times with her deathly stare.
She picked up the money on the coffee table and stared nastily at the 60 dollars in her hands, including the public transport card.
She had a great future ahead of her, but she became down and out because of Bianca.
Other than her, everyone else in the Rayne family was living a carefree life. Meanwhile, she was here living a life that even animals would not want to live.
Marie looked at the dollar bills in her hand and swore to herself that she would not let the Rayne family live a good life!
…
The next day.
When Luca woke up, Nina was still asleep.
She got up quietly and walked into the bathroom. She closed the door lightly and started to wash up.
After Nina washed up yesterday, she tossed and turned as she could not fall asleep. Luca was worried that it would affect her health if this persisted long-term, so she gave Nina the sleeping pills she used.
After taking the pills, Nina fell into a deep sleep half an hour later and had not woken up since.
After washing up, Luca saw that Nina was still asleep. She thought of having Aunt Neile tidy up the guest room for Nina to sleep in as she was not used to having someone other than Luke sleep beside her.
She did not know why either.
