Chased Out Of The Family
Cecilia vomited a mouthful of blood and held her abdomen with her hands. “Trevor Larson! How dare
you kick me? I’m your sister!”
Trevor gave her the cold shoulder and entered the mansion.
When Cecilia was about the barge into the house, Trevor’s bodyguard pulled her away.
“I’m sorry, Mrs. Greene. Mr. Larson said he doesn’t want to see you when he comes out of the house
later. So please leave before we drag you away with a more drastic approach.”
Cecilia had no choice but to leave.
She tried to approach a few members of the Greene family, but they all turned her away.
In the end, she had to put up a night temporarily at the walkway of a subway station.
Suddenly, she received a call from overseas. She hesitated for a moment before answering it. “Hello?”
“Mom!” Wendy’s voice emerged on the other end of the phone.
Cecilia’s eyes brightened for a bit, but they dimmed just as quickly.
She cleared her throat and tried to stay calm. “Wendy, how’s school over there?”
Wendy replied anxiously, “I’ve gotten into some trouble here, and I don’t even have money to reload my
phone. I’m actually calling you using the hostel warden’s phone. Please top up my phone as fast as
possible. I’m gonna go now. Bye!”
Wendy then ended the call.
Cecilia did not have the time to tell Wendy that Trevor had kicked her out of the house.
She clenched her teeth, took out the only two hundred bill, and walked to a nearby twenty-four top-up
centres.
Wendy could finally call Cecilia on her phone. “Mom, I tried calling Uncle Trevor, but he didn’t pick up
my call. Could you ask him to bank some money into my account? I don’t even have money to buy
myself a meal now. I—”
“Wendy!” Cecilia interrupted. “Your uncle…”
It was difficult for her to tell Wendy the truth.
“What’s wrong with him?” Wendy asked.
Cecilia bit her lip and decided not to tell Wendy the complete story, as she did not want Wendy to
worry. “Your uncle’s company is going through some financial problems. One of his projects didn’t do
well. He might not be able to give you money.”
“But I don’t need a lot. I just need some money to help me survive this exam period.”
“I understand, but I don’t think he can help at this point. Wendy, your exam is three days away, right? I
guess you can find a part-time job to support yourself for the time being. Once you get into Maxwell
University, I’m sure things will start to look up,” Cecilia advised.
“Part-time job? Are you mad, Mom? I study from morning till late evening every single day. Do you
know how exhausted I am?” Wendy lamented.
Cecilia clenched her teeth and recalled a karaoke bar she had passed by. “You wait. I’ll try to get you
some money by tomorrow.”
Wendy stopped complaining and hung up on her.
Cecilia clenched her jaw and headed back to the karaoke bar.
A few minutes later, the karaoke bar manager put on a baffling smile and said, “Well, well, well. Isn’t
this Mrs. Greene? Are you sure you want to become a hostess?”
“Yes.”
The manager studied Cecilia from head to toe. Even though she was already in her forties, years of
skincare had retained her youthful look.
“All right, then!” the manager agreed.
The next day, Wendy received eight hundred from Cecilia.
“Eight hundred only? Am I a beggar to you?” Wendy was hopping mad. She ended the call after
venting her frustration since international calls were expensive. She then continued with her revision.
On this very day, Larson Group had declared bankrupt.
